Alright, these are outside forums, and two funny questions that i've run across today. (DISCLAIMER: if you are the "owner" of these questions, don't hurt me. I mean no harm.)

Exhibit A:

dude said: Tie rod ? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Are the f2 and f2t rods exactly the same? I know neither one are forged but is the material the same? can I use a N/A rod on a gt F2t engine w/out having to worry?

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM TASTY FORGED TIE RODS

Exhibit B:

dude said: QUESTION: Can you put the Mazda 323 GTX in a 91 Escort Wagon Please let me know if this is even possible. thank you!

I'm sure we can all think of some hilarious answers, yes?

(For the record, after the knee-jerk reactions, the REAL answers were given. "You can fit a lot of stuff in a wagon, but i don't think a whole car is real likely.")

i knew a girl in high school who could fit a cello and string bass in her 99 beetle, so would assume the northstar will fit too! he never speified where it would fit...

Damn...I keep telling the daughter that her bojamba magenta cello case will not fit in a new beetle.

You probably can if you cut it into small enough pieces. We hauled a Delta 88 to the recycler in a caprice wagon. It took three trips put we may could have packed it better.

Yes, if the wagon is rusty enough and is hit at a sufficiently high speed by the 323.

I was able to move all of my belongings to my dorm room for my first year in college in my Mustang (convertible). I had to put the top down, I filled it to the brim, and then I put it up so that nothing would fall out. My parents drove up separately and they packed my dad's Z4 to the brim with everything I couldn't carry (a pillow).

You can put a Mazda 323 GTX in a Dodge 3500 single cab

First step: Find a tranny that is less inclined to be gay. Whenever drag racing look for the one that is not wearing the flashing lights or sparkly badges.

Second step: Stop kicking trannys. If I were a tranny that got kicked I would act very very slow and would likely jump on occasion as well.

Third step: When replacing trannys, stop shopping in the scrap bin.

Fourth step: Stop splashing oil on your belt, your pants may fall down and you don't want that to happen if you have been kicking scrap trannys.

The motor in question has a timing chain, and yes, I too wondered why he replaced his trans with a scrap one.

Hahah, but it's so amusing. It's like the WalMart of internet forums. There's 4 or 5 people that know their stuff, and the rest have to concentrate on not drooling on their keyboard.

I really wonder why the perceived IQ is so different between FEOA and ClubProtege. Makes no sense. The morons bought Escorts and the smart ones bought Proteges?
