Since the early 1990s, India has cut its poverty rate in half. About 300 million Indians—equivalent to the population of the entire United States—escaped the hunger and deprivation of extreme poverty thanks to pro-market reforms that increased economic activity.

Dear American liberals, leftists, social progressives, socialists, Marxists and Obama supporters, et al:

We have stuck together since the late 1950′s, but the whole of this latest election process has made me realize that I want a divorce.

Quadzilla’s New Tranny

February 24, 2009

Here is a picture of my new transmission still in the crate. It was built by FLT in Illinois. They include the TransGo HD-2 shift kit and a few other goodies. I also had a 10.5″ 3-disk locking converter with a 2500 RPM stall built by Precision Industries. I paid Keith over at RPM in Lewisville to swap it out.

I’ve been babying the truck for the last 2 months. It is nice to have firm shifts now. I can’t wait to get a little time and tune and tweek it a bit more, and of course dog on it like it was made to take!
