  1. We have a customer that pushes snow, has everything from a couple F-350's to a Tahoe with plastic blade! A couple of his trucks are special purpose, the Tahoe does well in the parking garages they say.

    One thing about it, pushing snow brings in business for us, because it's hard on the trucks, and not everyone plows carefully enough to keep from breaking stuff!

  2. yours is festive too..... in a scary sorta i eat childrens gifts for fun kind of way ;)

    Eats things such as Casper's avatar, a-la the Alf comment... :D

    What.... Nobody likes the Binger?? :cool:

    No, it's just you, now that you're a mod... :lol:

  3. either or.

    Maybe find a way to have her hold them and get an idea which one she prefers. I think best buy carries them and maybe you could 'accidentally' bump into the camera section.

    Usually the biggest difference between the Canon and Nikon is how it feels to hold and how the menu's function.

    The quality and features is pretty close on both, most of the time. I haven't compared any of the lower models lately, but they usually one-up the other on a feature or 2 with each new model, but many of the features aren't things that you NEED in a good camera anyway, or at least not as important as camera feel, control layout and menus. So yeah, fondle them both and see who fits better.

    With that said, Canon FTW! Story over! :lol:

  4. Another Pataskalian! They're taking over! We need a ban on anyone from Pataskala!

    Kidding, I lived out there for a few years, it was nice then, now it's fast becoming a Columbus Suburb. There are a few riders on here from out there, or close by.

    Welcome to the madness!

  5. That's pretty accurate' date=' except for the belief that science doesn't follow that same hunt for supporting facts. If it said that for both sides, I'd agree with the cartoon. The evidence in opposition to evolution is just as staggering as evidence in opposition to creationism. Besides, when I see one species evolve into another species I'll start to take evolutionists seriously. Adaptation and specialization are believable. I believe that animals adapt to their surroundings. Hell, I do it, but that isn't sufficient evidence to suggest my ancestors swung from tree branch to tree branch. It also isn't sufficient enough to remove the idea that another being "kick-started" the entire process. However, the idea that one species can evolve into another species is completely unfounded, ridiculous and non-existent. It didn't happen. It doesn't happen. It'll never happen. Evolutionists ask me to believe in something the same way Christians do. Both have evidence to support their claims. Both require a certain amount of "faith" to accept, because none of us have witnessed either process in our lifetimes.

    And that's the fact, Jack.[/quote']

    :plus1:

    I think that's a big :bigfinger: to justin....

    Even though we all still love you (or love to hate?:lol:)

  6. bah you suck.

    I did call up verizon and bitch at them, and my download speed more than doubled...2125kb down, 343kb up.....this morning it was 768kb down 305kb up LOL muchas better

    I have Roadrunner, Time Warner. I was a diehard DSL user until about 2 years ago when I moved I got RR, it ended up being cheaper, since I didn't want to carry a landline for phone anymore. I haven't runed back since! I just wish I had slightly better upload.

    That's a bit low, I think due to the time of day, etc... In the evening I can get a little more DL speed out of it.

  7. you bastards with over 1k dl have no idea how good you got it. However, I wouldn't trade places with you, You can have fast internet but you cant walk out the back door and pop off a shotgun or ride dirtbikes on your property :D :D

    I get 22MB down, and 768K up, and I hear shotguns all the time, and rdirtbikes and atvs of all sorts, not to mention snowmobiles in the winter. The road I live on turns to dirt about 1/2 mile down, past where all the houses are. I am at, or at least very near the end of the cable run that I'm on.

  8. but they're light cars. 240hp from a 1.3 liter engine is pretty respectable. The lack of torque means they suck from a standing start, but in a highway pursuit, I wouldn't be shocked if the RX-8 could top 130. The crown-vics should be good for at least as much though.

    The power levels from that 1.3l engine are impressive. In my opinion, the 1.3l is a bit deceiving, and not relevant when comparing to a reciprocating piston 4-strok engine. Compare the number of firing events. I'm not bashing the rotary engine by any means, as they are truly awesome, and soooo smooth. Let's just compared apples to apples, not aplles to the mangosteen fruit....
