So get this: Guy likes Lamborghinis. Guy likes Fords. Guy takes a 2007 Mustang and shoves a massive V-10 and transaxle into its middle. We can't look away.

Get this, I saw Ohio dealer plates on it...

Cody and Vinnie seem to be a little more down to earth. Lets hope the show doesn't goto their heads. I would actually watch that show, it would be more about the bikes, and less about the drama.

I'm hoping the same for Howe and Howe Tech....

This seems like a dangerous combo. It is like Chipotle serving beer. As if the food alone doesn't cause you to have a rectal explosion, you add alcohol to the mix. Idk about you guys but I would be releasing demons for the rest of the day.

I have a pretty sensitive stomach, and unless I get the "hot" salsa at Chipotle, it has very little effect on me.

It's just chicken, rice, a few black beans, tomato, and sour cream... Black beans don't cause that much gas.

Ok guys. I'm going to have to find an excuse to get out to Chipotle now..... Thanks a lot for mentioning Chipotle.

Low quality, cam version.....

Zombie thread lives. WTF...

Come one man, you're not a newb around here, this is just how OR works these days!

How about a V-strom 1k?

I like Howe & Howe tech much better. We'll see how they are after a couple seasons.

Step 1: Get cable.

Step 2: 'Fix' the dish, by rigging it up with some kind of voltage source. We're going for 'painful and humiliating', not 'lethal and/ or actionable'.

Step 3: Place fixed dish with a sign that says 'Vandals- Anyone caught messing with my satellite dish will be reported to the police!' or something to that effect.

Step 4: Set up camera, wait for awesomeness (because no teenage vandal can resist a challenge like that sign).

Step 5: Post results on OR, but remove all booby-traps from the dish before police and/ or angry parents arrive to investigate.

I like it, except for step 1, and the posting part of step 5.

Should have gotten the kid to shovel your driveway the rest of winter.

Apartment complex. I'm sure his neighbors would LOVE that! Along with the management! Much cheaper than hiring someone to plow it!

That's the difference. It's one thing for me to inquire about why you may've failed to renew your bike insurance. It's another for me to say you've failed to renew your insurance because you're a lazy deadbeat with no fiscal restraint because you spent money on this, that, and the other.

One is an inquiry and the other is accusatory and drawn to a false conclusion based on the political motivation to paint you in a light that I see fit for my own purposes.

Just when I thought we were done with Jcroz.....

I'm anti-life! It's an awful sexually-transmitted disease with a 100% mortality rate. It should be stamped out once and for all, in a spectacular and preferably humorous fashion!

Let's start with you. One less flaming liberal, all the better for all!

Seriously though, read my sig. Not the Pauly quote about rep, the other part....

i wish i had an STi with really pimpin' snow tires.

I gots one of thise sitting in my bay at work waiting for me to pull the engine to fix some rods that are about to come through the block. It's just got street tires on it though.

The county FINALLY plowed the "main" road I have to take to get into town, or anywhere else, for that matter. The road is FAR from clear, but it's at least cleared wide enough for 2 lanes of traffic flow now. The road is still rough, though. My road (township maintenance) is in really good shape!

We'll see how it is tomorrow, after it drifts overnight.

Nice!

No, I don't have that kind of money lying around, I gave it to you to hold for me. Now go buy ME a bike!

I dont need DOS as I already have it on the hard drive of the machine. Its not a problem for me.

Other people with DOS based machines that haven't backed up the software DO have a problem. I think thats what he meant.

Gotcha. Which reminds me, I need to pull the drive from that machine and backup the drive, before it fails.

As I understand it, its getting DOS if you dont already have it thats the problem. Isn't it true that from late XP on up DOS is not included?

You don't need a new OS, just a new motherboard, right? With the situation at work, I'd just use the old hard drive with a new motherboard and processor.

Wow! I think that if the parents would knock the kids arms off like they did to your dish, they wouldn't be having an issue.

You're in better shape than those that run off of DOS.

It's nothing ot do with the OS, as even the latest computers can run DOS! The problem is in needing ISA slots, which is where we are, also. The company that makes the machine I'm talking about wants something like $5k to upgrade. It comes with a new PC, interface board, software, and not much else, not even a new monitor or printer, both which are required. The only problem we might run into by DIY'ing it is compatibility with a different motherboard, as they go on and on about how the boards are specific to them, etc.... I have a feeling that it's just a QC and support thing, seeing how hardware was so flaky back then, at times.

Exactly correct. For industrial applications there are literally MILLIONS of old 386 and 486 controlled machines running out there. To change them over is only slightly less than a complete replacement of the machine.

Which is what we're dealing with on a machine we have here! Fortunately, the problem with it ended up being the cpu fan had gone bad, causing it to overheat, therowing a BSOD. It's a Windows 95 machine!

Thanks for looking.

Guess I have to come up with plan "c"

If I can get away for a while, I'll head over to that shop I was talking about to see what they might have.

Profiling!? Who's profiling? You think I meant the three black kids?

It looks like that kid in the center back row with the glasses and the two girls bookending the third row from the top may all have social or developmental issues that are probably in need of social services to help them live a fulfilling adult lives.

You racists.

Nope, I didn't think anything of color, I was just wanting to see what you reaction would be!

The person that built that website should be beaten with an inverted Showa.

I hope they didn't PAY someone for that mess!

Second row from the top, last guy on the right. He's EXCITED!

I see at least 3 children there that my tax dollars are probably now supporting.

Profiling....

dang you guys got me checking the weather and me itching to check my valves this week.

ill be starting tomorrow... i just need to invest in some good gauge feelers. any idea where to get them? im guessing advanced/oreilly's/autozone/etc...

I need to get me a set of angled feeler gauges, to make it easier to get in to the valves. Ugh, I almost had the Snap-on guy paid off, too! I do have a set of straight ones though, I'll have to check if they'll get in there well enough.

what "technical stuff" are you talking about? pre-assembled engines? bolting them to pre-fabbed frames? it was like watching 3 retarded monkeys assembling a 16 piece puzzle for an hour.

I liked it when they started building their own frames, and stuff. That's wheh they started getting too big, and I quit watching though. They started doing more stuff in-house, but quit showing as much of it!

I'd rather go down the road to a friend's shop where he does primarily CUSTOM engines for Harley's, and watch them build bikes. They're probably more fun to watch anyway, as it's not at all scripted!

Ugh.... I thought this thread died.....
