  2. So you take him at his word? Do you realize what that service would cost? Think how much it costs to fill a swimming pool. You have now probably got the tanker 1/4 of the way full if you have a big pool. Then add in all the responders salaries and the cost of wear and tear on equipment, the cost of getting the equipment there, the overhead of a building to store the equipment in and the insurance on said equipment, building and responders. The cost would be huge. Not to mention how do you write a bill for this? It is not like the fire department is used to working on a per call basis for pay. After you figure all of this out do you then take his word and a handshake? That's real binding. How about a written legal contract? Well that was signed under duress so that goes out the window. If he can't/won't pay a $75/yr fee there is no way he would pay the full cost for them to put the fire out. Especially once he saw what was left. Just cause they put the fire out doesn't mean there is anything left. I have responded to many total loss structure fires. Especially when you are driving from a town away.
  3. In one of the other articles it says their are 8 towns in that county. 3 towns charge the service fee. They are going to a new program where all 8 towns will pay the service fee.
  4. Yes that's what I mean to tell you. If no one paid you to do your job would you do it? If no one paid your boss would he buy the equipment and pay you to do your job? It is not a free service. In that county they do not pay taxes for those services. Call it a tax or call it a $75 service fee it is the same thing. Here we pay taxes and the fire department gets their cut and comes and saves our house. Their they pay a service fee and the fire department comes and saves them. If anything they have it better. They have the option to make the gamble and not pay. Here if you don't pay your taxes they just take your house even if you don't need their service.
  5. $150 sure as hell wont even put a dent in fixing or replacing the car that RC K9 just had destroyed in an accident. However, you, me, him and every other person on this site paying $150 a month will easily cover it. It is basically fire insurance. No ones life was in danger it was a property loss and lack of insurance issue. Why should everyone else in the county that wanted to have the insurance have to pay $1500 ($75/yr for the last 20 yrs it has been a law) and he gets to pay $75 or even the $150 you suggested on the day of the fire. Like they say hindsight is 20/20. Should have paid the $75/yr. Sorry about your losses and I bet he learned his lesson. Just like when a renter gets his stuff stolen, he will have renters insurance next time.
  6. If you read what I posted or the link I posted they stated "If somebody is trapped in the house we're going to go because life safety is number one but we can't give the service away," Edmison said. "It's not South Fulton's problem. It's not Union City's problem. It's the county's problem. There is no county fire department."
  7. does the new Z06 have a 4 speed auto? I don't think it does but I don't look at vettes since they are no where near my price range.
  8. I'd definitely be interested in this.
  9. The other nice thing about Tim Bostic and Charles Kronk is they offer a second class that covers things like firing from behind cover and such. They also offer a class for women only so if the women don't want to do a class with men they can.
  10. After I posted I started reading some of the links. http://www.wpsdlocal6.com/news/local/More-fallout-following-house-fire-104113489.html "It's like car insurance," Edmison said. "I wish I could wait until I have an accident until I pay my premium on my car insurance, but it doesn't work that way. So why should the fire service be looked at anything different?" Again, if the fire situation is life threatening, fire departments will respond. However, that was not the case with the fire in South Fulton Wednesday. "If somebody is trapped in the house we're going to go because life safety is number one but we can't give the service away," Edmison said. "It's not South Fulton's problem. It's not Union City's problem. It's the county's problem. There is no county fire department."
  11. If you read the article it says that a neighboring town provides fire support for them. Basically, the town he pays taxes to doesn't have fire service. If you want fir e service you pay the next town over $75. Essentially like any other service in the world. You want a cell phone? Pay us $49.99 up front for the first month and we turn your service on. Want car insurance? Pay us $150 for next months coverage. Him calling up and offering to pay the $75 in no different then you running into someone at a stop light, calling Geico and saying "Hey, I know I have never paid for your service in the past BUT, if I give you $150 now will you cover this accident?" It costs a hell of a lot more then $75 to fight that fire. In order to cover it, everybody that wants coverage for that year pays $75 up front. Pretty cheap if you ask me.
  12. Are you looking for a roller/car with a bad motor or a motor? Your title seems to say the opposite of what your thread says.
  13. I'll PM you for the sake of keeping the thread clean.
  14. Sorry to thread jack but, is anyone looking for Cichlids? Mine had babies and now I have way to many for a 55 gal tank.
  15. I posted on there also. The only response I have gotten is "i started a thread like this one time on H-T and someone posted their RSX on 275". So I thought I would try here.
  16. I am looking at putting a set of 275/35r15 on my Integra. Has anyone on here done this? I want to know what adapters are required, suspension modifications, etc. I know I cannot go lock to lock but, that is all I know so far. http://www.gotcone.com/pgallery/images/2008_scca_tirerack_solo_national_championships_topeka__ks/ds/img_2868.jpg
  17. Only place other then the dealer that I could find that had my rear hatch struts.
  18. Was hoping the prices were set. Marysville to Westerville is a haul for parts. There is a store in Bellefontaine that is closer. I can't wait till we get one in Marysville.
  19. I highly suggest Tim Bostic and Charles Kronk for this class. Cost me $50 and a Saturday and I was all done. It is out in Mechanicsburg at the Police/Fire station. Then they take you out to the Mechanicsburg Police Range. It is an outdoor range so dress for the weather. If you get a group together again he may offer a discount.

  20. I would think a open downpipe would lower boost as it would create less restriction. I know when I went to a larger diameter exhaust I "lost" 3 psi of boost.
  21. showed up at 8 and no one was there still. sittin in taco bell across town.
