Its pretty tough... you have to jump through a bunch of hoops... casper has you running errands and stuff for him before he'll even consider it. Costs a shit ton of money too. http://ohioriders.net/index.php?/store/product/5-supporting-sponsor/ or this.

Trade it for a VFR800?

My night is made. I just saw CNN reporters get tear gassed.

And some jackass on CNN is already heatedly ranting about the proceeding being a sham and so on. Would love to hold the media accountable for flame fanning...

Not my first rodeo with Ben. I know all about his special favors lol

Justice has been served.

I don't know if I'll make it either. Although, I always say that then make it...

Why is everyone else so worried about what she drives? Todd wants to get her a cheaper car that reliable enough while he is in the car teaching her. That the help he has asked for. Not a diatribe of ORs conscious telling him he's wrong. Damn I hate winter...

yes I did. My wife really likes Ikea. I just like to drive. It's a win for all. I don't speed so this point really isn't whether speeding is a crime or not or whether we should be able to break the law. The point is overzealous enforcement and the path over-zealousness leads to - and what is considered common practices nation wide vs what is going above and beyond. Speeding is not a "mens rea" crime, you don't have to know you are committing it to be found guilty of committing it. State of mind makes no difference so all those people who say "just don't speed" presume that you know you are speeding. Considering how inaccurate most cars speedometers are delivered and also that speeding is not an interpretive action with no threshold (if the limit is 65, at 66 you are breaking the law) it is easy to believe you are not speeding and still be committing the crime. Looking for a philosophical debate on law enforcement practices, not for a bunch of law enforcement fanboys to spew more "if you can't do the time don't do the crime" flawed jingoistic rhetoric. I refuse to believe police officers are infallible and any time you have "something sneaky" going on there is always the potential to take it too far. This feels like something sneaky. Having grown up in NYC and driven in Jersey a lot I am intimately familiar with their tactics including tailgating with undercover cars, speed matching, hiding behind objects (which ohio cops do as well). I still think Ohio takes the cake for both creativity and zealotry. Another thing I noticed was the sudden shifts in speed limit on major highways - it would be 65 for one county drop to 55 for another and then up to 70 in the next. Some of the 55mph zones (there were only 2 I spotted but could be more) only had 1 sign between the 65 and 70 signs of the adjoining counties. that also means going the other way it drops from 70 to 55 then to 65. There was always an officer in the 55mph zone.

This thread will never die. Will you finish this thing already!!!

Yes, the Boomers have paid far more into SS than any other generation; when the Boomer generation matures--and that'll be happening imminently--it'll also collect more than any other previous generation. However, if you really feel the need to blame SS problems on the disparity of how much was paid in vs how much was collected, look no further than your parents and blame them. The amount they've collected and are collecting still vs what they paid in is FAR GREATER than any gen to come after. But if you have a smidgen of common sense and can do the math, turns out it isn't your parents that are the problem; it isn't the Boomers that are the problem, either--Boomers are the folks that are SOLELY responsible for the decades of SS fund surplus (if you believe we have one). It's our damn representatives than have ignored the obvious problem of underfunding for several decades, kicking the can down the road, and using the SS revenue for general fund items. Sure, there's a US government bond guarantee on the borrowed funds, but it's backed by the same government that is trillions of dollars in debt and have been running deficit budgets for years to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars. These are the folks we voted for….and voted for again….and blindly reelected again and again. We the voters have been paying them huge salaries to sit in Washington and accomplish NOTHING for years!!! Look in the mirror, folks. There's the problem.

I'm not too sure about the source, it came across my FB after someone shared it. But here is an interesting article if true. Basically it says two black panthers with Muslim names got arrested for having pipe bombs or materials to make pipe bombs in Ferguson. http://conservativetribune.com/black-panther-ferguson-arrest/ Another thing I thought about last night is had Brown been a soldier killed by an enemy or friendly fire we would have never heard about him no matter the circumstances. I doubt anyone outside his friends and family would care and nothing in Ferguson would be happening out of the ordinary. Same as if he were a policeman or firefighters killed in the line of duty. Or if he were a doctor teacher aid worker or other profession mostly viewed as honorable killed by gang violence. Or even if he was in a profession seen as dishonorable such as a thief or drug dealer killed by gang violence or by a cop of the same race. No one would take notice outside of a handful of people that knew him. But since it was a black guy shot by a white cop it is socially acceptable to act and feel the way people do about this. Yet take no notice of the other scenarios mentioned above. I would be more sympathetic and understanding of the actions of the protesters and even the rioters of they felt and reacted the same way for other deaths. I didn't see anything like this happen after the Boston marathon bombing. The police used similar "military-like" equipment then also. Some people complained about it but there weren't any protests and riots because of it. No one acted out when Chris Kyle was murdered same with the troopers that were attacked in Pennsylvania. It wouldn't be considered acceptable behavior for these situations so why is it acceptable just because it was a black guy shot by a white cop? Why does our country get worked up over when this happens yet doesn't give a shit when a guy goes crazy and kills his family? There is a clear bias of the reactions to different situations of death. Apparently our country cares more about the death of a thug killed by a cop than the deaths of cops killed by thugs or the death of thugs killed by other thugs or the death of military members who get killed. If you want to have a meaningful death in this country apparently you should be a thug killed by a cop. The people of Ferguson need to take a look around if they want to really know about government oppression. Look at Mexico they have 43 people missing or killed presumably by the Mexican government. Look at Syria and Iraq where isis is taking over as the government in areas and murdering people based on race and beliefs. That's true government oppression. If you think our government is too mean maybe you should go find another government to live under.

My kid turned down a free car because it was ugly. She now will wait, until she realizes reality, saves money and begs for a POS.

White morons without a cause....just hating due to race/religion are worse than black idiots with a misguided cause. KKK can get fucked too.

So, you drove for nearly two hours just to go to IKEA, hmm?
