Scruit

Dude, if Im gonna bust my ass with hard work then I'd want to go from POOR to RICH.

Or Bronco. The X150 range were 5-bolt. 250 were 6 or 8, i think. That cover F150 (Pickup), E150 (Econoline Van) and U150 (Bronco)

For every rich person there are millions of poor people. If Bill Gates spread his entire wealth throughout the entire country every person would get $200.

Understood - but where are you goign to fly to? Another airport. Of course that was assuming no roads led to the site which has since been clarified. (The assumption beign that if there was ONLY air access then to go anywhere you're need to fly to another airport where you store your car.)

He could afford to pay for 4 months of Iraq war.

Eggs on parachutes? Nice. I did an elementary school poroject like that once... You would definitely be cut off from the rest of the worl. You'd have to have your vehicles parked at the nearest other airport (no roads that I could see?) and it would royally suck to get to the airport and realize you left your car keys at home. I guess it would depend on how far you need to go. If it's a 5 min flight then whatever, no big. if it's an hour flight to the nearest airport (or a couple hours drive to the nearest civilization) then it would suck.

Oh, and the silo home... Being an ex-missile silo, I'll bet its GPS co-ordinates are still programmed into a Russian nuke somwhere. When the Sh*t hits the fan you'll be the first to have an ICBM crammed up your nethers.

Stolen plate on a white chevy van drive by a white male, supposedly.

I hope they throw the pickup at him.

Agreed - the story references the doctors estimating the baby's size prior to a scheduled c-section.

http://abclocal.go.com/wpvi/story?section=news/local&id=8247831 Story says he was drunk and his pickup veered into the oncoming lane and hit the bikers head-on. They had no chance. I hate how they say "his pickup veered into the wrong lane". Like the pickup did it against his will. Tell it like it is, please: "He drove into the oncoming lane." On top of all that, the riders were attending a funeral. A horrible situation all round. The DUI driver's list of charges looks like they just photocopied the driver's law book and told the judge; "All of the above".

You don't get rich by spending money.

Some people get upset when we use newp-fangled teck-noller-gee. I remember when we had to cut AND paste links, uphill both ways.

Would suck to have to fly anywhere you want to go. Need a bottle of milk? Burn up $30 in gas.

There are 3 different 3d printing technologies that I know of - maybe more... 1) Composite Power/binder to make composite objects for prototyping 2) Resin/laser to make plastic objects - used heavily in automotive prototyping or mold-making for silicon/urethane object production. http://www.kaiser3d.com/ 3) Metal power/binder which is then infused with bronze to make metal objects for things like artistic scultures and cabinet hardware. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20R9nItDmPY

Is it just me, or does that weather guy look like he's saying; "And just what the F are YOU looking at?"

At a multi-way stop I will always make a point of pulling forward and stopping a second time, even if I only move 3 or 4 feet. Not worth the hassle of dealing with people who would floor it to stop me from "running" the stop sign.

Bad link. You mean this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjrEQaG5jPM

Here's my list: 1) Several oncoming cars turning into outside lane - but I din't expect anyone here to pick that out becuase you can't tell how many turn lanes there are. Nice catch. 2) The SUV in front of the camera car ran the stop sign. *Even though they stopped*. You can tell by the shadow of the red car in front of him that the red car was stopped straddling the stop bar. The SUV then set off, rolled right past the stop bar and stopped well past the bar. This is a stop sign violation. Won't get you a ticket, but *is* a vioation. 3) The Buick (me) did *not* run the stop sign, even though I set off at the same time as the SUV. As I was stopped waiting behind the SUV I was stopped *at* the line. My duty to stop having been thusly discharged I was free to enter the intersection as soon as it was clear and safe to do so. 4) The SUV (again) then commited one of two violations... Either they turned into the outside lane, or they turned into the insde lane then changed lanes without signalling. It could go either way. The main thing is *my* stop though. I know people have been cited for running a stop sign for doing this, even though they stopped at the stop bar. One case went to the supreme court. I just can't find the cite right now. The officer in that case admitted that the car had been stopped at the stop bar, however she felt this was not a valid stop because there was a car in front of him (that was stopped pas the stop bar) and that she felt the second driver should have made a second stop. The supreme court found in favor of the driver.

You can't just throw tennis balls into Mordor.

I agree 100% on everything. I think the car is worth low 2k, and I would pay that knowing it's condition. But I'm not going to get much more than that in a sale - and to get that high I'd have be be able to prove its condition. As such, any further investment in the car will be for my own enjoyment, or for safety reasons. If I put another $500 in this car then I understand it will be money I won't get back at this point.

Well, flying away could be an alternate escape route...
