    $1,000 fine for speeding 50 mph over limit FL

    exactly, this will only encourage running....very dangerous law. did anybody catch the fine of 1000 dollars for not having the license plate mounted horizontally! crazy and very unfair, should be rewitten to say concealing your plate also they made 80000 in an hour and a half the first day!

    Brakes keep squealing, no matter what I try!!

    Am I looking at signs of bad turbo seal?

    check the axial play in the turbo, and check for signs of oil in your turbo piping. if no oil in the pipes/play in the shafts look elsewhere (bhg)

    btw guys a 5.3 is a ls3 the ls# is gm's engine code on its rpo codes. i think its a great idea, and a ls7 would be the best choice but it could easily be bolted in later.
