  1. They can't vote on anything, they are on a 5 week vacation!
  2. LOL, his approval rating is still higher than that of the Democrat controlled Congress.
  3. Must be nice to be on top of the world.
  4. Please send him a text saying happy birthday. He's 25 today, and last I checked, still bald
  5. did you remember to turn it?
  6. Alex was talking about wanting to visit NYC for a weekend, send him a pm.
  7. Anything valued over $500 is felony grand theft. That being said, I don't think that anyone should actually approach this guy unless the police are already involved. The cops need to have the VIN and any other identifying information before ANYONE goes to look at it. Beyond that, let the police handle how it all goes down. Trying to go vigilante out in farm land will get you shot and buried.
  8. Eric, you should take the Muskingum down from Zanesville to Marietta. It looks like the Muskingum starts around Coshocton, and its fed from two other rivers, starting there would make the trip a good bit longer.
  9. LOL, not over yet http://www.politico.com/blogs/thecrypt/0808/House_Republicans_to_go_back_on_the_floor_Monday_to_talk_gas_prices.html

  11. led's, such as what is on many chargers, use such a minuscule amount of power that its not even worth thinking about. I would only be worried if you are leaving the phone itself plugged in and on, but even then I can't fathom it using enough power to make any kind of difference. You can run your stereo for a few hours before the battery starts to notice, and amplifiers, even the tiny ones in a headunit, use a fair amount of power.
  12. Been there, done that, it was lame, now its gone.
  13. whatever anthony put it to after he changed it to some time in the future
  14. I call him a noob because I can. edit - you are a noob too, but at least you pay attention to the stickies. gold star.

    I've been kind of wishing this upon myself lately. Got any tips?
  16. read the sticky, noob. I didn't go to all that trouble for people to have still need to buy a clue.
  17. I love the Don't Give A Fuck and Kottonmouth Kings logos with the woodgrain paint. It looks so well done.
  18. That might be a bad idea. My car might explode.
  19. Scott, what kind of prices do you guys have for pulls? It might help to toss the shitbox on there to try and hunt down the boost leak, its only audible under load.
  20. Something else that is being speculated, is that many investors have their oil stocks set to sell once the price hits $120/barrel. That's only about $5 away. If a significant number of brokers dump their stocks at that point, the price will easily sink to $100/barrel. Everyone pray the dollar value goes up just a bit more to help push it over the edge.
  21. The problem with JeffMeden's theory is that gas doesn't follow traditional market analysis, seeing how the demand/supply/price of fuel doesn't really change, and doesn't really have a direct affect on each other. -edit: the price is the only part of that equation that really changes, but it has very little bearing on the other two parts. Consider, the price of a barrel of oil dropped over $25 in the last few weeks. Why? Well, demand is down slightly, from last year, but it's still about what it was last month. No affect. Supply is bad right now, some Shell pipelines got blown up by some assholes in south america this month. Typically, this lack of supply should drive up prices, right? Not this time. So where does the price actually come from, since those two things really have no bearing on it? Oh, that's right, asshole investors who are scared of the dollar value. The value of the U.S. Dollar has jumped significantly this month. This means that investors can now move their money to a different part of the market to make far more than they can with commodities like oil, so they bail and the demand for the stock drops, causing the price of the stock to drop. Now then, how does adding in an extra tax have any affect on a market that is barely driven by supply and demand? It doesn't. An extra tax will cost everyone money, the market simply doesn't give a shit about correcting for it. JeffMeden's argument only works if it would cause lopsided competitiveness, where one gas station would have to mark up or down to match the station across the street, which simply isn't the case with a tax levied against everyone. Now, if anyone is still reading, here is something else to chew on. Where would this extra gas tax go? Not to fixing the roads, that doesn't happen regardless of how much cash is in the fund. Nope, it goes into a fund available to the public for certain recreational activities, and groups can apply for these funds. Most of it in Ohio goes to state parks and hippie groups that want horse or walking trails. Now, prove to me that increasing the gas tax is going to anything other than pad a fund that doesn't really get used anyway.
  22. Not trying to be a dick because I think what you are doing is actually pretty cool, but does it do anything but shred the front tires?
  23. I know that Men's Warehouse has tailers, dunno price or turnaround though
  24. Nas is a tool, and who the fuck cares. There's a reason why Fox News is the highest rated news channel in America.
