  1. A busa my be a little on the obese side for me.. also, I double dog dare you to find one for under $6K. I'll start looking into the sprints...
  2. I made the terrible mistake of selling my 97 VFR750 a few months ago. (I think to a guy on this board... and if you are, I hope you are treating her well and putting tons of miles on her like she deserves!) Anyways, I have the opportunity to find another bike, and not sure what I can/should get. This will probably be my last opportunity for a bike until the kids head off to college, in 18 years, so it needs to last. I loved my VFR, but always wished it had a little bit more power, just a hair more sporty, and fuel injection. I know the obvious choice would be a slightly newer VFR800, maybe a 2001. But what else is out there? I think an SV1000 is appealing, but have not spent that much time on one... Mostly I used my old bike for commuting, about 40 miles each way, and the odd day trip to the triple nickel or hocking hills or stuff like that. I want my new ride to be as capable and comfortable as my old ride. Are there any alternatives to the VFR? Anything I should be looking for? If possible, I want to keep my budget to $5500.00. What is out there?
  3. Raptors? there is nothing to worry about unless the learn to open doors..
  4. Things called ladders and chairs exist.. they help you reach tall objects. Be careful, put them in a locked safe, and install trigger locks. Lock the ammo somewhere else. One accident is all it takes to lose a child. There are entirely too many stories of children shooting sibling accidentally. The sad part is, these are 100% preventable..
  5. Trick question. There is no such thing. Try a first gen RX7 super cheap super light.
  6. Kill them all. Take their ID. Kill all their family. Kill all their friends. Kill their neighbors. Kill all the witnesses. Kill Kill Kill... Or scream like a little girl... Definitely one of the two. Seriously though, In college my place was broken into. While creeping through the house they knocked crap off a shelf and startled my dog. Hendog was a mildly obese old rottweiler. He bit down hard on this guys calf and started shaking it back and forth as hard as he could. (when we would play in the back yard, he could shake hard and fast enough to make a wet towel 'crack'... old but still pretty strong.) I ran into the room, thinking the dog is fucking up the furniture for no particular reason, and was a little frightened to see a guy in my house. So I kicked him in the head a few times. By this point we were making quite a bit of noise and my roommate came running into the room. For some reason she stared screaming "stop it". Right then I realized the guy my dog was mauling, and who I was kicking in the head was her drunk boyfriend. WHoops. He needed a bunch of stitches in his leg and had a huge black eye. However, he was a huge douchebag, so no harm done. The worst thing, that night was when I realized my dog had glacoma and was losing his eyesight. It was pretty sad. He was an amazing dog. RIP hendrix
  7. I can't see this until I leave work... I bet it will be gone by then... bugger
  8. video or it didn't happen!
  9. I bet at one point you dis connected the drive shaft... Look to see if paint marks stll line up on it...
  10. I hate you for being able to afford either of those cars....
  11. I believe in Kama.....Kama Sutra! oh yea
  12. What are you going to school for?
  13. Really? What's so special about a GTO with a 150 shot? The article says it has ~450ft-lbs torque on the bottle. For a LS..... meh.
  14. I don't understand the appeal of a wheel/tire combo that fits so poorly. Offset is there for a reason. Changing it can adversely affect the suspension geometry of your car. Maybe I am just old.
  15. For a reliable daily driver find a late 90's Honda. Add gas,, maybe oil if over 200k miles. drive for ever.. Assuming you don't ind being terribly bored every time you go somewhere....
  16. Don't believe in caffeine? Like what? like it doesn't really exist? I love my sweet liquid crack cocaine in the morning... Crazy!
  17. I gladly pay an extra 10grand just to not drive a neon... Seriously, how gay are those things?
  18. And the Evo is no more... Subie must be thrilled.... http://www.autocar.co.uk/blogs/autocarconfidential/archive/2011/03/01/the-mitsubishi-evo-is-no-more.aspx
  19. myp2pforum is awesome... I can get all my rugby games... GO ALL BLACKS!!
  20. TO quote Mr. Charlton Heston : "So, as we set out this year to defeat the divisive forces that would take freedom away, I want to say those fighting words for everyone within the sound of my voice to hear and to heed, and especially for you, Mr. Gore (Obama) : '"I Will Give Up My Gun when you take it From my cold, dead hands"
  21. You catch more flies with honey then you do vinegar... always be nice, and most of the time they will be nice back.. My brother and I were pulled over a few months ago while we were doing a few WOT pulls on a fresh motor in his stealth RT. I was driving and he was watching the laptop. The radar detector went full blast for laser, and we get pulled over. The cop walked up to my window and asked if we knew how fast we were going and he said laser hit me at 86mph. I said, and I quote ' "really? that's all, I think I was closer to 90, sir, I was definitely speeding, I'm sorry, we just got this car running again and perhaps we were a little too excited to drive it again..." The cop stood at my window with the most blank expression on his face for what seemed like an eternity. Eventually he spoke and he said I have never in his career had anyone tell me i low-balled them on the speed before, and i think he said he was a 15 year veteran (hwy patrol) He thanked me for my honesty, asked when my last ticket was (over 2 years) and grabbed my ID and papers. A few min later he walked back to the car, and gave me a warning, no ticket at all. I'm pretty sure only because I am just so damn charming and polite...
  22. I don't think I have seen a stock DSM in over a decade! good luck with the sale, wish I had some funds right now!
  23. Im going to go search right now, but some guy outside madison WI has a pontiac soltice, with way too much boost, (Claimed to be stock internals wit h a GT35 of somesort) that had 630hp at the rear wheels.. it was really fucking quick! too bad it still looked like a sorority chics ride..
