If the date worked out, I'd be in.

Good vid. Here's the hard part though. When you come home there are people lining the streets. Everyone is cheering and wants to shake your hand. One of your soldiers mom and dad come and find you to say thank you for keeping their son safe and looking after him, like you said you would. Mom has happy tears and dad is just proud as can be. You muster all you can to stay composed and tell them it was all him, and he did great, doing what he was suppose to. Because he did. You see a vid like this and it's the same treatment for one person with honor, as it should be. Why did you get to come home? I had no contact. I refuse to wear any of the 6 combat patch's authorized to my Company. Every time I went out, things went smooth. A unit I use to be in took heavy casualties. Why them? Why now? Why didn't I get called on when I was with them? What would have been the outcome for me? Time and place become an endless question that has no final answer. A soldier who falls in combat is too soon for gotten. These people are the reason we live our everyday life as fat, worry free people. They got up early and covered down on the enemy to ensure so many people have the right to test drive their couch and spoil their kids. This is done because of who they are and how they are. What have you done to benefit them, as they have done to cover you? I don't want people to post and answer to that. I just want you to think about that. If someone you know has died defending your/our way of life, it is your responsibility to ensure their story is told. Someone from school you knew? Get the details and let people know. Toast them when you have a round with friends. It's a very small and easy thing that pays great tribute to someone. Always remember, it's not that a service member wanted to die, but that they were WILLING to, for your/our safety and way of life.

^^i only wrote what I was sure of. I did not follow the persolal life of MJ. ^^

The guy was far ahead of his time in tallent and outlook in his music and dance. He made it cool for a dude to dance. I don't know his personal life any more than the rest that are speculating. True or not, you can't take away the fact he changed and erra of music. Look how many knock offs there are of the same sound/music out there. No one came close to his style and people went nuts to see him perform. What entertainer that has been that big a success has not been called a nut job or freak? Maybe their scewed outlook is where they draw their talent from? Reguardless, almost everyone of us sang his songs, danced, or turned up the radio a little bit to his music at one time.

If you don't know Jesse it's rare to see an error, "heat unit", meant to be head unit. Can a mod make the adjustment to the title, so this thread gets the desired info? And not that you need my help, but I'll help if I'm not working.

Priceless.

Name: Joe Car info: 94 RX 7 Dyno yes/no: yes Raffle tickets: $20 yes/no: No Sat/or Sunday: Should be fine Depending on work.

Will, I don't kow you, but you sound like you are thinking things over and looking into them well. Like Dover said, with the Marines you will make the best friends of your life and do more with less. Army is where I am now and there are some damn good people here. And there are some complete fucking idots that think they are hardcore. I work with the Air Force guys from time to time and they have a steady calm and knowledge of their work. Take your time with your decision and prepping to come in. Good luck.

I'm not reading all of this, so excuse me if I miss a detail that was discussed. I offer this. I'm at Rickenbacker and vehicals/trucks is my world. I can get you in a shop for a day and you can see what you like, or you can be on the trucks with me all day and see if you like that. I teach the MOS course for military vehicals. With that comes some working on them. However, I hardly ever have to work on trucks. Although we just replaced a 25 lbs altinater. PMing me is the best way to reach me if interested. BTW, recuiting is very picky right now. Some areas are even closed off. You almost have to be bionic to get into some of the easy jobs. And your score better rock. They are taking the best of the best these days. It's not just qualifying. My buddy was told he could only enlist one person per month.

^^NICE^^ Also, Title 8, is the Fair Dept Collection Act. Covers all the details you want. http://www.fdic.gov/regulations/laws/rules/6500-1300.html

STFU and get off my balls. If I'm going to be on line, that's what I'm going to do. How about, "you bug the shit out of me so much, I'm on line to have something to do with out you". And yes, I'm on CR from time to time from my phone.

Howard, you know my situation and knowledge base. You showed me how to change my oil and from there, I feel in know my car well but not other cars though. I can pull a motor or a trans. Now I just don't have the time now. If I don't know it, I don't fuck with it to learn it.

iPhoneiPhoneiPhoneiPhoneiPhoneiPhoneiPhoneiPhone. Putty's plan seems pretty good. I think I'm going to add to my plan. If you go in on Friday, let me know and I'll try to go with you. Might be bargining power.

I'm putting a cage in my living room for UFC. No more couch.

If you can't be good, be good at it. Failing to prepare, is preparing to fail.

First let me say posting your situation on here is probably pretty tough. But, the fact is there are many people on here that work in different fields, so CR can e a good sounding bourd when you don't know anyone who can give you a good answer. With that said, you're fucked! And by that I mean, either way you lose. So at this point it might be time to think damage control. I'm guessing you have the pressure of buying from family and the expectation that has been created. What will be the dicission that leaves you and your family in the shortest recovery time? I'm going out on a limb and saying to think 2 years out at the earliest, probably 5 yrs. I don't know your income or all the exact numbers, but second incomes may have to be looked at. As much as it may suck, you took a loan on a house with a bank. You are obligated to it. You made arrangments with a family member. Your plan to have the other home sell is now unrealistic, it seems. So you may have to step back from the home you want. As said before, you aren't getting a loan for the home you want, if you have the one for sale now in fourclosure. And if it does fourclose, you are not doing anything for a while without a substancial out of pocket. I don't know the condition of the home for sale. you said it needs repaired. You also have to sort out if you want your family in a place with foundation issues. If it's livable and safe, you are better off moving back in and sorting that out. And try to move once you recover from this. If you push to stay in the place you want, you more than likely won't get financing for it given the other home if it's fourclosed. So then it's up to how nice and understanding your family is. If you say fuck it and let the house go, with out your family, your are looking at appartments or a very understanding private lease person. Your situation is too real and common in the last 3 years. Best thing I can say to ease your mind is, if you are going to fourclose, these are the best times. The recovery and understanding of programs that aren't out yet will take the economic times into consideration. It's not going to be great, but options will be out there. Too many people are in your same shoes for that much business to be lost in the future by the current guild lines we have. I've been away from that stuff for a while. Best of luck to you.

Join the military and you can drive trucks all the time. The school is right here in Columbus now. After you drive in the military, you can get your CDL for $50 and only have to take the writen test. Scarey, I know. Just putting that out there.

I have no idea what you all that means. But, given you seem excited about it, I assume it's a good move for you. Congrats, Geek. We drink soooooooooooon.

I took a year off and let it sit to focus on other things. That sucked! Build it when it's right for you.

^^ Plan is key.^^ Chasing a build and changing things wastes time and money. Good words Smokey.

I work a second job that makes for long ass days and I do it on days off and some nights. I pay cash for everything done to the car and any extras I want. Last year I wanted to build a 7.1 home theater system. So, I worked a few 17 hour days. If you sleep 8 hours a day, you still have 112 hours that week to do a lot of things. I sleep 4-6 hours a night. Long days to get paid aren't that bad.

Nice write up Sam. Congrats to IPS and the owners of the cars. Best of luck on the future events.

Call the RX7 store. Z will need one soon.

Go West on 40 for about 35 miles and there are a ton of lakes and parks. Big time golf area. Lots of twisty highway too. Just east of knoxville is Pidgon forge (I think that's how it's spelled). All kinds of things to do there. Show's, go carts, dinning, zip lines, water park, Dollywood.

Carl, I'll be changing to black interier asap. You can have my tan mats then. Jesse, I have to assume good looking out. Thanks. So are the seats for sale and cloth or leather?
