Investigate Bush's stock portfolio and his interest in oil. Maybe he's too busy to care that his millions are now billions. This is so messed up.
The economic stimulus is being spent on 42% oil profits. Stimulate this...

if i could figure out a way to get my hands on a bmw 330d turbo charged diesel (engine/w turbo only) id be well on my way.

Sounds like me too. I'd rather build what I want than buy it. So find a fuel effiecient engine and drop it into a newer truck. I likey, but...
I did a similar thing a while back with my S-10 Blazer. It is 327 Chevy powered, 10 years ago it was a very popular swap and quite powerful. Now it needs to go back to a fuel efficient drive train. The original V6 is gone.

That would be nice. I have a 700R4 trans now from Bowtie Overdrives. It's nice to have 75% reduction in 4th gear with an automatic. But a stick shift would be even better. It would need a hydraulic clutch, clutch and brake pedals, and ... You have me thinking>

I swear. Just the mere mention of drilling for oil in Alaska or the Gulf will cause the price to drop. Just watch....or not, since nobody's going to propose anything like that. Makes too much sense.
