  1. I will probably take you up on that
  2. http://touch.chicagotribune.com/#story/chi-shootings-chicago-violence-august-23-august-24-violence-gunfire-20120823/ I think I'd rather be in Afghanistan. At least there I could shoot back.
  3. There are more shootings in Chicago than troops killed in all of Afghanistan
  4. ccw may just go with a kel tec p-11 or pf9. Looking for something...inexpensive, but of course not a pile of shit. Diamondback maybe? S&W Shield's are out of budget, and can't be found anyway. Concealability is high on the list of importance.
  5. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Mustang Look at the sales numbers. 2009 sales were the lowest in recent history, being less than half of the lowest point of the 99-04 model. 2010 and 2011 were only slightly better. The roads used to be clogged with V6 mustangs, and that simply isn't true any more. That being said, I really like the current Mustang, its the only Ford I've ever wanted, but for whatever reason it isn't selling like it used to.
  6. http://www.petfinder.com/shelters/perfectpet.html This reads like someone running a "rescue" out of their garage. The first thing you need to understand is that a large amount of people that do these are fanatical and overbearing. They act like there are few people deserving of having a pet. Yes, its true that a lot of people do a bad job with dogs, or get the wrong dogs for the wrong reasons but some of the rescues out there go overboard with it. That being said, I really doubt there is anything you can do. You have no way to contact them outside of an email address and its hard to prove ownership of a dog unless you have microchipped it yourself. You may try filing a police report saying that the dog was stolen from the place providing medical treatment, but beyond that you are most likely out of luck. If you do decide to look for another dog, I highly recommend visiting rural shelters - they are cheap to adopt from and most of the employees and volunteers are happy to adopt to anyone, as most are small and underfunded and therefore kill shelters, so they are just relieved that its one less dog to put down. The Morrow county shelter at the fairgrounds has been good to me, as has the Highland county shelter in Hillsboro.
  7. Anyone that missed out on Joes deal should jump on this http://palmettostatearmory.com/index.php/featured/dh-5-56-30rd-aluminum-mag.html Brand new mags, same company that supplies the military and already upgraded with magpul followers. 10 pack that works out to $9 each before shipping edit - deal is gone
  8. That, and sales have fallen off a cliff. Baby boomers lost interest and the younger generations never really warmed up to the whole retro thing
  9. Here are a few more to add to the list. Not sure how up to date this one is. http://autos.aol.com/gallery/say-farewell-to-these-well-known-cars/?ncid=txtlnkusauto00000020
  10. something to think about: http://www.donatospizzafranchise.com/CostCriteria.html that's way cheaper than Mcd's. If you want to look into something inexpensive to get started check out Fox's Pizza Den. And I looked at the map on their website - Chipotle has 11 locations in NC, one being in Fayeteville.
  11. http://www.leftlanenews.com/ford-mustang-2015.html?utm_source=outbrain&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=lln-outbrain-test edit - considering the rear of the car and door sills both say Evos, I'm not sure this is actually suppose to be a mustang. Either way, it's not a direction I would expect ford to be headed.
  12. The traditional truck based cummins/powersuck/duramax are all too big and heavy and expensive for what he is trying to do. We really couldn't come up with any others that would be common enough to be a good option.
  13. I'm pretty sure Ohio voters passed a law a couple years ago limiting interest rates on this sort of thing.
  14. weight bench, dumbbells, and whatever cardio machine you will actually use I lost more weight when I had a weight bench in the house than I ever lost going to the gym. Sadly I didn't have room to keep it around. With that you can do bench press with dumbbells or regular weight bar, squats (not super easy without a squat rack but still very possible), bent over rows using dumbbells, deadlifts, curls, overhead tricep extensions. Most weight benches have an extension to do legs as well. With a weight bench you can do most of what you could do on machines at the gym. If I had more room I'd seriously think about getting an elliptical and weight bench and forget about the gym.

  16. God forbid anyone make any attempt whatsoever to post anything intelligent or insightful around here without getting flamed :fa:
  17. Has he at least sat in one? Ford doesn't make anything I'd call high end. Jones used to have some Audi SUV that was giant inside, might look into that.
  18. Hey there's this new guy that says really funny things, dunno if you've heard of him but his name is Joey Biden
  19. http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/ Download the Firefox web browser. It has a built in spell check so you can look like less of an idiot. When you buy a car, the profits don't walk away. They are spread out to the shareholders through dividends. Chrysler is the only car company that I know of that isn't public, and therefore retains its profits. Or rather, Fiat retains its profits. Humans are migratory. Most people won't just sit around and die if what they need (food/clothing/employment) is no longer available where they live. Once a place no longer has resources, people move to where they can be found. Detroit has tons of empty homes, and its not because everyone moved to an apartment. The old industrial towns have shrinking populations, because there is no reason to stay. The up and comers ("forign" car companies, in your words) are building newer, faster, less wasteful, generally non-union shops that generally pay better than the big 3. Their cars are of a higher quality because they want to make sales, in order to make profit. GM was told that sales don't matter, because here's $25 billion dollars to keep doing the least possible to slide by so long as the unions are happy. Chrysler had changed hands a couple times so there were a lot of transition periods, but was owned by a private investment firm at the time, who are very motivated by profits so they were doing everything in their power to improve. Ford had the insight and stability to restructure ahead of time. If GM were to go under, the parts suppliers would shift to supplying parts to the other existing companies that suddenly have a spike in sales to make up for the loss of the competitor. The factory workers would have unemployment coming in long enough for them to relocate somewhere that isn't Detroit (which sounds wonderful to me) and find work somewhere else. You know, the last GM that I can honestly say I loved was a G-body from the mid 80's. Some day I'd like to find another just like it. Granted, I've not been in one of the new Cadillacs, but anything I've sat in under the Chevrolet badge has been dull. Hopping into a C5 and seeing the same crappy stereo that's in a Cavalier doesn't say much for the company in my opinion.
  20. http://www.foxnews.com/health/2012/08/16/researchers-develop-prototype-for-male-birth-control-pill/?intcmp=features If all goes well then in a couple years males will have equal protection against unwanted pregnancy, without the permanence of getting snipped. And it was derived from a possible cancer treatment, so even more good news.
  21. Both times I've been pulled over while not carrying, I informed them I wasn't carrying. Both times I got a ticket. Fuck being nice, gets you no where.
  22. Instead of buying a Malibu, Americans can buy a Marysville built Accord, a Mississippi built Altima, or a Kentucky built Camry. Although to be fair, a typical GM owner would probably be more likely to switch to a Georgia built Kia Optima or Alabama built Hyandai Sonata. Also, the "average working man" can no longer afford to buy a brand new car that isn't at the bottom of the market, therefore the people designing these cars don't give a shit about what the "average working man" thinks or wants. That's something to think about while you drive around in your Canadian built Camaro.
