  1. Sold. The guy who bought it is going to tear it apart. He's going to use the motor, ECM, & ABS then sell the rest on eBay. He builds lightweight, three wheeled vehicles that get around 140 mpg for the Craig Vetter fuel milage challenge. Interesting. http://www.craigvetter.com/pages/2013-Challenges/2013-Vintage-Days-Challenge.html
  2. There are years of Impala where you can't turn the auto head lights off, 2000-2001 maybe. I only know this because some guy I used to play softball with had one he brought it up. Not sure about 2005.
  3. Custom choppers must be good investments. The for sale adds say 25k or 30k invested
  4. ^^^ GTs are round profile (very similar to the Mich PR series). The turn in won't be as fast as steeper SS tires. That took a little getting used to. Now I prefer it. I think the round profile is superior for the street.
  5. I used Rhino Liner to paint the running boards on my Nissan Frontier. It held up fine for years until I sold it.
  6. I remember back in the day when journalists would only report information that was confirmed as fact.
  7. Since this is about investing...paying of a house isn't a "no brainer" good decsion. From an ROI point of view, you will usually lose money long term by paying off a house early (unless you have a really high interest rate). It's nice peace of mind to not have to worry about making a morgate payment, but isn't always great financial decision.
  8. This time of year you should have no problem trading a car for a bike. Any car that would be as much fun my bikes is so expensive that I wouldn't want to own it
  9. I'm not sure I could sit on the sidelines and wait for a market correction. Some experts think a correction is imminent, some don't. You could lose years worth of returns trying to time a correction. My mix is less aggressive now than it's been for the last few years. Now I like natural gas, a couple indexes, and a sector than has worked out pretty well.
  10. 2 million Harleys? Shit, that's like 1 million horsepower
  11. This level of stupidity is off the charts. Wouldn't it have been less costly for Goodwill to offer to paint the guy's truck rather than pay legal fees? I think U-Haul paints over their logos before a vehicle is sold to prevent the need for such douchebaggery.

    Bud Light

    Y'ling is probably my least favorite beer. Ill choke one down a my neighbor's but not a fan.
  13. I haven't seen the video or read about it. So, no opinion I'd be willing to share.
  14. I wouldn't fault a cop for using deadly force in a kill or be killed situation. We all deserve to live. I would fault a cop for using deadly force when they feel their authority is challenged, or to prevent a conflict. We all deserve to live.

    Bud Light

    I like craft beer more than I like craft beer drinkers Not all of them, but the one's that want to discuss every little detail are pretty annoying. It's beer. Shut up, drink. repeat.

    Other countries? Pfft.
  17. Plenty on this board can give you first hand accounts. Here's a tip: law enforcement training is not the same as training for Marines or soldiers. The training is different because the objectives are different.
  18. That's statement doesn't sound particularly well informed. Try to gain a bit of perspective: http://www.pri.org/stories/2013-12-03/iceland-grieves-after-police-kill-man-first-time-its-history
  19. Couldn't possibly disagree more with this. I'm sure your feelings would be MUCH different if said magazine was emptied into a friend or family member. When a Marine or soldier empties a magazine into an enemy combatant that is completely within mission. However, the mission of police is to enforce laws and protect rights of citizens. We have a HUGE problem when police start treating citizens like the enemy. .
  20. Trust me, I would rather carry a Glock than a taser. I think every time a cop fires there needs to be questions asked and perhaps an investigation. To a degree that does happen. It's more effective in some jurisdictions than others. What was the link in this thead like 8 billion post ago?..out of 1,100 police shootings in Wisconson all 1,100 were found to be justified. Come on. I think many American citizens are losing faith that our justice system can keep police officers from violating civil rights or punish them when those violations occur. What happens behind the Blue Line protects officers...citizens not so much
  21. Don't know the details on this one. Could a taser have stopped him? Who saw the video of the MO cop who was willing to do a "bunch more killing." http://www.cnn.com/2014/08/22/us/missouri-police-officer-suspended/index.html?hpt=hp_c2

    Quantity = Bud Light or Coors (not light) Quality = Guinness Craft beer drinkers are too close to wine snobs. Not for me.
  23. You're right. It doesn't prove he wasn't injured. But it does suggest that. If the other officer took a long hard look at the side of his face, or if there was a paramedic shining a light in his eyes checking for a concussion that would better support the injury claims. If there were any injuries, his actions make it appear that they were not severe, or at least did not require any immediate attention.
