Exclamation Steve Monroe (Stevemon) is boring

...holes in throttle bodies. He bored a hole in my throttle body and made my throttle body have a bigger hole than it did before. If you want a bigger hole in yours (throttle body that is) send it to Steve Monroe and he will make a bigger hole in your throttle body. This should improve air flow in a car that actually runs, or in my case, give me something to talk about.




PS although he is from Oklahoma, he does speak English, so you can contact him in any normal manner.

I think one should worry more when people are lining up to get out of a country rather than into it.

He played the theme from "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" on a Kazoo, not that it's any of your Beeswax.

If you are going to compliment someone...then do it properly...don't be like NW and use terms like remotely, or crude imitations of what you think humor is!

Just say, the workmanship is outstanding and the price was cheap for all that was done!

Exclamation

OK! If you ever do any work, let me know and send me some pictures and I will compliment you in the correct (Steve Wood) manner!


PS stop attacking my good friend Nasty wendy!

He knows a thing or two about Alky. as well.

That Steve can really spin a tale can't he? Gees when hen spun his tires one full revolution 50 yards from the police station I said (to myself 'cause I'm the only one here) -- "I want to have the guts to live my life on the edge like Steeeeevie!!"

Seriously, IMO that's a fair price, and a good thing to do just for maintenance...

Hey maybe SalvageV6 will do a perform a before and after test on the DYNO for us!!

Then again after the grief Wood gave him after the last time, he might be too chicken to do it...

Too bad he isn't as fearless as Stevemon....

Talking

Salvage AKA "The Dyno King of Connecticutt" ain't a skeered of nobody, let alone a Texican goat farmer. He is imbued (look it up, dummy) with the fearless spirit of the Minuteman and the iron will of an...uhhh...uhhh.. iron willed person.

Maybe Stevemon can bore a hole in your head to relieve some pressure?

Liberalism faltered when it turned out it could not cope with truth. D. Moynihan

Some in my party threaten to send a message that they don't know a just war when they see it, and more broadly that they're not prepared to use our military strength to protect our security and the cause of freedom. Joe Lieberman

Somehow liberals have been unable to acquire from life what conservatives seem to be endowed with at birth: namely, a healthy skepticism of the powers of government agencies to do good. Daniel Moynihan
