  2. Make that Firebird x3

    Congratz on the new car but I have a question. I don't mean this in an offencice way, but why would you want 3 of the same car? Wouldn't you want to mix it up a bit? I mean once you get in them, they're pretty much the same minus some HP. If I had 3 cars I’d want to at least know when I was driving a different one. Just my .2. nice looking car either way.

  4. Glenn Beck: Obama's "Change"

    in Pics and Vids

    May ruffle feathers here, but I'm all for capping the incomes of those CEO's that have raked in Millions and Millions while their companies tank and have led to what is going on now. IMO everyone should be paid on performance...to some extent.

    I'd agree too especially if tax payer dollars helped bail them out

     

    The problem with the gov is that it would take a TOTAL restructuring and renovation of the way people think to get any REAL change.

     

    True, but change doesn't happen over night. It happens over time. It start with 1 thing and people start to except it then it moves on from there.

  9. 6 ROUNDS WITH Super_GTP

    in Dumpster

    Posted

    Well since I've taken a bit of a break from racing while I looks/ save for a faster car. I've decided to take up a few other hobbies to fill the void. Hockey and Boxing. Last night was boxing. I went for 6, 2 minute rounds! Pretty tuff to do right...YOU HAVE NO IDEA!!! So I get to the gym and my trainer Tim comes up to me and is like "You up to go a few rounds tonight" So I say "sure!" I look around the gym to see who's there. I see a couple high school looking kids who had some good form and thought that would be a decent match up, I’m bigger, but they have better knowledge of the sport and they were pretty good. Well I go to the locker room to get my hand wraps on, come out to the ring and see 3 heavy weights standing by it, my jaw drops! NO WAY. I’ve got to be honest, for a minute I thought WTF am I doing? Well, I’m not one to back down so I walk up to them and introduce myself. Here’s the breakdown…

    ME

    Fighter- Chris aka Super_GTP

    Heights- 5”10

    Weight- 197lbs

    Experience- 13 boxing lessons (about 6 weeks) and a number of school yard brawls.

     

    Rounds 1 & 2

    Fighter- T.J.

    Height- 6”0

    Weight- 240lbs (The guy was built like a tank)

    Experience- 3 Yrs of amateur/ pro MMA fighting!!! <-- YES 3 YEARS of MMA fighting!!!!

    Round Summary: This guy hit like a fucking shotgun blast. He caught me with a hook to the mid section and I almost thru up in the ring! I got to use some of my defensive strategies against him and stayed moving, He was pretty slow. I was able to use his MMA form of fighting against him (He stood very square to me which left a lot open). But I had to get in there, do my work and GTFO or I would have gotten blasted again… I survived

     

    Rounds 3 & 4

    Fighter- “D”

    Height- 6”5- 6”6

    Weight- 210lbs

    Experience- 8 Yrs of boxing/kickboxing w/ a number armature fights.

    Round Summary: “D” was pretty easy on me the 1st round. I got a few good combos in but had to work the body since he was so tall. Second round he came at me with speed, and a lot of it. He’d work my body for a few then go to the head so fast. I had to really work on my movement and not stand still but you get sooo tired trying to move and punch. I felt a bit better after that round because I gained a little confidence….Which would soon get destroyed.

     

    Round 5 & 6

    Fighter- John Jr. or “Little John” NOT lil John.

    Height- 6”5

    Weight- 245lbs

    Experience- John, recently won the tuff man competition in Ohio and is training for the mid west finals. The tuff man competition if you don’t know is basically bar fighters, here’s an example clip (skip to: 45 seconds in)

    . John is the Son/ Nephew of the owners of the gym and has been training for about a year.

    Round Summary: We started off kind of light I tried throwing to the body then upstairs. I got a little too close and got handed a damn good upper cut to the side of my head. I didn’t back down though, my strategy was to stay in close and keep the pressure on. I didn’t however realize that’s what he liked to do too. I was so exhausted at the last 30 second mark that I couldn’t keep going. That’s when he had his way with me. Hard body shots 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and then a few right to the chin 1, 2. I was ducking and blocking my ass off but I was soo tired that most of them I couldn’t really block. That last 30 seconds felt longer the first 90. I leaned against him to set up something that I thought was slick. I learned that if you can shove the guy off you, then you can immediately throw a right (which I have a very good one) to their head. I forgot that this has to be done very quickly and given my conditioning…well….it wasn’t. I also learned the down side to that move. I shove him back and go to throw the right and he had to of seen it a mile away. He slapped that crap down, stepped right to me and handed me a right hook of his own…. I was done, my ear was ringing. I stayed back for a few and got saved by the bell.

     

    I'm sure most don't care about me getting my ass kicked it's a really good time. I didnt think I was the type of person to do shit like this and get the ring with guys like that but it's not at all what I thought it would be like.

    All and all though I think I faired well. This was my first al out sparing/ boxing match I was able to keep my cool, I kept with it despite taking a few good shots an getting my ass kicked, I was able to implement some of the moves I learned and I didn’t get KO’d. I’m looking forward to going back again Wednesday! Give me another few months and I think I'm going to try and get back in the ring with those 3 again.

  11. How do I stop assholes from walking....

    On a not so serious suggestion. Just start doing randome shit when they walk by. Argue with yourself and start yelling at youur imaginary friend or stand by the window naked, maybe go get a bunch of cats and start feeding them all over the yard. Or everytime they pass through try and talk to them for like 20 minutes about bullshit. You boys ever seen that movie Cast Away? I heard that he was really trapped on that Island for 9 years. Boy that Tom Hanks is a great actor, I remember when he was in the movie BIG, you boys like that movie? What movie do you like? Make it more annoying for them to pass through then it is for you to have them pass through see what I mean. We had a neighbor as kids (who I'm pretty sure was a rapest) that everytime we saw him out, we made it a point to go the other way becasue he'd always try and talke to us. he had this weird weiner dog to that he'd walk through the neighborhood too. Get a reputation about yourself (at least by the kids) that your a fucking freak and that they need to aviod you.

  15. Buying/selling a car thru paypal...

    from Paypals website on fees....

    Monthly sales Price per transaction

    $0.00 USD - $3,000.00 USD 2.9% + $0.30 USD

    $3,000.01 USD - $10,000.00 USD 2.5% + $0.30 USD

    $10,000.01 USD - $100,000.00 USD 2.2% + $0.30 USD

    > $100,000.00 USD 1.9% + $0.30 USD

     

    Just do the math. if you're not good with %, here http://www.math.com/everyone/calculators/calc_source/percent.htm

    Just add the fees to the total. Also, I would agree with the signing of the truck upon pick up. And once the funds are in your paypal, transfer them to your bank account. I wouldn’t feel safe until they are out of paypal and in your own account. Hope everything goes well for your, G/L !

    "Is Tamara home?"

     

    Some black guy and his white buddy knocked on my door trying to sell me some meat. He went from $500 to $50 in about a minute when I told him I wasn't interested.

    They had a fridge in the back of their pickup, like a real freakin fridge.

     

    I love sales men...

    Salesman:http://smiley.onegreatguy.net/clown.gif "This is top of the line meat!, $200 for 15 steaks"

    Me: :rolleyes: "No thanks"

    Salesman:http://smiley.onegreatguy.net/clown.gif "Come on man. you like steak right...I'll hook you up. $75.00 for 10 steaks top of the line!"

    Me: :rolleyes: "Look man I'm sure their top of the line, I just don't wnat your steaks"

    Salesman:http://smiley.onegreatguy.net/clown.gif "You seem like a good guy. $40 for 15 steaks"

    Me::rolleyes: "Look I already told you no! If their so god damn top of the line why are you begging me to by them out of the back of your truck!? Now get the fuck off mt porch"

     

     

    After that I put up a no soliciting sign.

    When I was in Charlotte, this would happen often. A person would knock and if no one would answer, they'd break in. If someone did answer, they'd make up some BS story.

     

    Truth, when I lived at my old apts there were people that would do the same thing. Knock on the door at random hours if no one answered break in time. The apt complex put out a flyer to everyone telling them to answer their doors. Hahah fucking idiots, I moved about 2 months after. So I guess there is some reasoning behind him being shook up about this.

    :thumbup: That's what I’m talkin about!

    The thing that I've found to be a PITA is that I have a Creative Zen Mp3 player NOT and iPod. And so many of the transmitters require an iPod or you have to buy a special cord/cable that cost 3 times as much to make it work for another type of Mp3 player.

     

     

    BTW, Nice set up Tim!
