Just want to see if there's anyone out there who can top SVO's achievements, and not elicit a "look at me" response. So, I present to you...

Yes but which... Honda XR, Aussie falcon, Xr4ti?...or all three?
I replaced a carbed 2.0 4cly in the ranger with a 2.3 turbo out of an XR4Ti and it was nearly a direct bolt in. Moving the turbo forward and putting in a high pressure fuel pump was the only really hard part. The t-5 swap also drove me nuts.
Magnus, I am your father. You need to ask your mother about a man named Calvin Klein.
You know, completely missing jokes and taking everything in the world literally is a sign of Aspergers...
You missing my dry sense of humor by the nature of my reply tells you that you have AssBurgers? I thought that a retard could not tell that they were a retard.
Did it cross your mind that I did not like the joke?

LOL. This was the alternative post, and I had to gamble
It is an expression that crudely states that there is always someone more of a bad ass than you are. Read the book "Snow Crash" and you will get it.
It's the very idea that always made me wonder why so many guys here liked to talk shit about how much better their car was than someone else's..
Having a couple very successful family members, particularly one of my older brothers that was a millionaire before 30, I've never been one to get really jealous of material possessions.. Hell, if anything I'm jealous of the motivation and drive, and most importantly the focus that these ultra-achievers possess, and wish I was better about developing those habits when I was young.
I didn't have any real focus or specific life or career ambitions in my teen years, and just kind of rode the waves of life. Next thing I knew I was ETS'ing from the Army married with a kid, making just enough money to survive.
At that point I kicked myself into high gear and within just a few years had been promoted well ahead of my peers and was doing well professionally. But even after that, with very few exceptions I have always focused on making the best out of the life that came my way; very reactionary and very much just checking off the boxes for what I thought I was supposed to do. Now in my early 40's I'm finally starting to develop clear goals and working towards what I want out of life, rather than just making the best of the life that was presented to me.
My biggest regret today isn't a lack of money or material possessions, it's realizing that I've spent too much of my life sacrificing dreams for comfort. I now know that I can be much more content, even with far less money and material possessions, and intend to spend the rest of my time pursuing that life. Of course that doesn't mean I can up and quit my job and change everything overnight, but I'm finally fleshing out actual long term life goals and starting to break stuff down into manageable milestones so that I have a clear path to the life I want, and am actually making progress toward achieving it.
