  1. Rarely. I have found that their futurecast is more a of worst case scenario though, when it comes to rain. Well, sometimes. Wait, we ARE talking weathermen here, nevermind...
  2. Much nicer than what most say about him!
  3. I THINK he's looking at what Dorothy and Toto are getting out in Kansas right now, that's headed our way. You can also check out wtte's futurecast on their site that will show the prediction for tomorrow.
  4. I think Todd will appreciate this: Actions speak louder than words...
  5. Ity means you need to get a TiVo instead of their DVR...
  6. You're not getting the bikes' make and model! THAT's where I draw the line!
  7. Thanks, I've been looking all over for that five dollars. You can send it all back to me.
  8. Funny thing, when I went back to the "home" page here, the pics had 2 that were from that asshat, and the third was a copper 02 squixxer 750, FML...
  9. Don't get me started on that one... One of his "finer" moments...
  10. Make sure it's a P.O.S. as most of us born before 1980 had to drive some pretty crappy cars for our first car or 4. It will make him appreciate the nice cars later in life!
  11. Aren't you down to 5 now? One of them can haul his own ass around now, right?
  12. Man, don't do this to me. Give me some real choices. Dodge, I don't know that I recommendit, even though I really like my Dodge. Mine IS 12 years old though. Mercedes, I don't think you'd be very happy with the maintenance and repair costs, unless you have someone in mind that can take care of you without ass-raping you (unless you're REALLY into ass-raping). I don't know that the reliability is all that much better, from what I've seen. Now we get to the part I hate. The Honda's. Let me start by saying, I DO NOT like Honda cars and "trucks". However, they hold their value, and are pretty darned reliable. The Pilot has the tried and true 3.5 in it, keep up on the routine maintenance and it will last forever. Regular oil changes, filters, timing belt on time, etc... and you'll be good to go. I just feel that they're a bit under-powered for my liking. The same engine is used in the Odyssey, and I think the same, and they lack the comfort of the Chrysler minivans, but that's not what you're looking for. Now we get to the CR-V. They're ok on power, even better on fuel mileage, same type of maintenance requirements of any other Honda. It IS a smaller vehicle. I like Sam's idea, since I prefer GM products. Buy one from them and they may get the government paid back sooner! (I really am a Chevy guy!) You could also go with Justin's idea. Buy something that get's great mileage for the wife, then a baller SUV for "the family" (aka...you.) and everyone is happy! Myself, I've become too practical when it comes to cages, and we're going to be looking into getting a mucking finivan (thanks to Max Power for that one!) to haul everyone around, and I'm thinking about getting rid of my Camaro. Since I got onto 2 wheels, cages don't matter so much to me! Anyway, just my 2 cents... and then some!
  13. If the DTC ride doesn't go, I'll be there, rain or shine. (Monsoon excluded...)
  14. Looks like Brian posted as I was replying! His shop might be a better solution, due to the timing of it all, if not, let me know.
  15. I could talk to the owner of the shop where I work. We have most of what would be needed including TIG welder, although someone else would probably want to do the aluminum welding, as I am WAY out of practice on that! We're talking about Johnstown, and I would have to do some asking first. We also have a machine shop just down the road that I could probably got to do something if needed.
  16. You owe me a new keyboard for that one...
  17. Good job. Now go make Chebby a sammich.
  18. Fixed. I have a feeling she can take it, and might even fire back!
  19. Oh, and to all of you... Quit telling everything you know about me...
