  1. What the fuck does it mean COULD? I'd already have her ass frying in a chair. That or have beatin her to within inches of her life with a bloody high heeled shoe then stuck her in a freezer to finish her off. make the punishment fit the crime.

     

    It means they are investigating the deaths that occured in a different county. She is already being charged with the abuse. Problem is if the wrong county files charges for the murder then those charges have to be dropped and new charges filed by the correct county. She is already being held for the abuse. I would rather they investigate the murders and close all the loop holes so some jack ass lawyer doesn't get her out on a technicality.

  2. Yeah I wish, they have a waiting list a mile long.

     

    I got called not 2 seconds after my post to start working for R.J.Wheels as a service writer. I am going to take it, and try to get my finances together by next year, and start some evening classes.

     

    Used to work there. It was the most boring job I ever had. I was at the Sancus Blvd. location. I learned how to play Texas Hold'em and ate alot of Hooter's. Hope your good at cards and staying awake with nothing to do.

  3. If you find a direct phone line to garrett on there I would appreciate it. I was on there for about 10-15 minutes, only thing I see is where you have to email them, no phone number besides for dealers

     

    Click Honeywell in the lower right. Go to that sight and click customer Support. Go to Garret Turbochargers. Go to Americas.

  4. Whew.. For a moment I thought I'd see a Type-R. The "One Hundred Horsepower per Litre" mantra was really popular with them.

     

    Fords need forced induction on their V8's to net 100hp/Liter.

    :D

     

    Everyone else can do it N/A :bangbang:

     

    I did it from the factory even. ;) Now I'm pushing 120hp/l and still rockin' the 14 sec 1/4 mile. :) lol

  5. I like the idea, but street legal is a must. At least 49 state street legal, fuck cali laws. They need to make the sti version, no radio, lighter wheels, lighter everything, lose all gadgets and options to race mode; big motor/ fat tires/ no mess styling/ and loud.

     

    Mopar dropped approximately 1,000 lbs. off the production Challenger SRT8 by eliminating major production components and systems. To accentuate the weight savings, they also feature added composite, polycarbonate and lightweight components designed for drag racing that will be part of the new Package Car program.

    The body sealer, sound deadener and undercoat will be eliminated. To reduce vehicle weight, major production component and systems will also be eliminated including: windshield wiper assembly, complete HVAC system, all airbag components, rear seats, power steering system, exhaust system and underbody heat shields, cross-car and side impact door beams, rear bumper beam and rear deck lid spoiler.

    To accentuate weight savings, there are unique drag-race components in the Package Car program including: composite lift-off hood with functional scoop, Viper-style front seats, polycarbonate door windows, lightweight cooling module with electric fan, manual rack and pinion steering, special cable-operated deck lid release, special lightweight front brake assembly and special cable-operated throttle linkage and pedal assembly.

     

     

    I do not think there is a radio or many gadgets left and the list of lightweight items is pretty extensive.

    McCain's birthplace prompts queries about whether that rules him out

    WASHINGTON: The question has nagged at the parents of Americans born outside the continental United States for generations: Dare their children aspire to grow up and become president? In the case of Senator John McCain of Arizona, the issue is becoming more than a matter of parental daydreaming.

     

    McCain's likely nomination as the Republican candidate for president and the happenstance of his birth in the Panama Canal Zone in 1936 are reviving a musty debate that has surfaced periodically since the founders first set quill to parchment and declared that only a "natural-born citizen" can hold the nation's highest office.

     

    Almost since those words were written in 1787 with scant explanation, their precise meaning has been the stuff of confusion, law school review articles, whisper campaigns and civics class debates over whether only those delivered on American soil can be truly natural born. To date, no American to take the presidential oath has had an official birthplace outside the 50 states.

     

    "There are powerful arguments that Senator McCain or anyone else in this position is constitutionally qualified, but there is certainly no precedent," said Sarah Duggin, an associate professor of law at Catholic University who has studied the issue extensively. "It is not a slam-dunk situation."

     

    McCain was born on a military installation in the Canal Zone, where his mother and father, a navy officer, were stationed. His campaign advisers say they are comfortable that McCain meets the requirement and note that the question was researched for his first presidential bid in 1999 and reviewed again this time around.

     

    But given mounting interest, the campaign recently asked Theodore Olson, a former solicitor general now advising McCain, to prepare a detailed legal analysis. "I don't have much doubt about it," said Olson, who added, though, that he still needed to finish his research.

     

    Senator Lindsey Graham, Republican of South Carolina and one of McCain's closest allies, said it would be incomprehensible to him if the son of a military member born in a military station could not run for president.

     

    "He was posted there on orders from the United States government," Graham said of McCain's father. "If that becomes a problem, we need to tell every military family that your kid can't be president if they take an overseas assignment."

     

    The phrase "natural born" was in early drafts of the Constitution. Scholars say notes of the Constitutional Convention give away little of the intent of the framers. Its origin may be traced to a letter from John Jay to George Washington, with Jay suggesting that to prevent foreigners from becoming commander in chief, the Constitution needed to "declare expressly" that only a natural-born citizen could be president.

     

    Duggin and others who have explored the arcane subject in depth say legal argument and basic fairness may indeed be on the side of McCain, a longtime member of Congress from Arizona. But multiple experts and scholarly reviews say the issue has never been definitively resolved by either Congress or the Supreme Court.

     

    Duggin favors a constitutional amendment to settle the matter. Others have called on Congress to guarantee that Americans born outside the national boundaries can legitimately see themselves as potential contenders for the Oval Office.

     

    "They ought to have the same rights," said Don Nickles, a former Republican senator from Oklahoma who in 2004 introduced legislation that would have established that children born abroad to American citizens could harbor presidential ambitions without a legal cloud over their hopes. "There is some ambiguity because there has never been a court case on what 'natural-born citizen' means."

     

    McCain's situation is different from those of the current governors of California and Michigan, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jennifer Granholm, who were born in other countries and were first citizens of those nations, rendering them naturalized Americans ineligible under current interpretations. The conflict that could conceivably ensnare McCain goes more to the interpretation of "natural born" when weighed against intent and decades of immigration law.

     

    McCain is not the first person to find himself in these circumstances. The last Arizona Republican to be a presidential nominee, Barry Goldwater, faced the issue. He was born in the Arizona territory in 1909, three years before it became a state. But Goldwater did not win, and the view at the time was that since he was born in a continental territory that later became a state, he probably met the standard.

     

    It also surfaced in the 1968 candidacy of George Romney, who was born in Mexico, but again was not tested. The former Connecticut politician Lowell Weicker Jr., born in Paris, sought a legal analysis when considering the presidency, an aide said, and was assured he was eligible. Franklin D. Roosevelt Jr. was once viewed as a potential successor to his father, but was seen by some as ineligible since he had been born on Campobello Island in Canada. The 21st president, Chester Arthur, whose birthplace is Vermont, was rumored to have actually been born in Canada, prompting some to question his eligibility.

     

    Quickly recognizing confusion over the evolving nature of citizenship, the First Congress in 1790 passed a measure that did define children of citizens "born beyond the sea, or out of the limits of the United States to be natural born." But that law is still seen as potentially unconstitutional and was overtaken by subsequent legislation that omitted the "natural-born" phrase.

     

    McCain's citizenship was established by statutes covering the offspring of Americans abroad and laws specific to the Canal Zone as Congress realized that Americans would be living and working in the area for extended periods. But whether he qualifies as natural-born has been a topic of Internet buzz for months, with some declaring him ineligible while others assert that he meets all the basic constitutional qualifications — a natural-born citizen at least 35 years of age with 14 years of residence.

     

    "I don't think he has any problem whatsoever," said Nickles, a McCain supporter. "But I wouldn't be a bit surprised if somebody is going to try to make an issue out of it. If it goes to court, I think he will win."

     

    Lawyers who have examined the topic say there is not just confusion about the provision itself, but uncertainty about who would have the legal standing to challenge a candidate on such grounds, what form a challenge could take and whether it would have to wait until after the election or could be made at any time.

     

    In a paper written 20 years ago for the Yale Law Journal on the natural-born enigma, Jill Pryor, now a lawyer in Atlanta, said that any legal challenge to a presidential candidate born outside national boundaries would be "unpredictable and unsatisfactory."

     

    "If I were on the Supreme Court, I would decide for John McCain," Pryor said in a recent interview. "But it is certainly not a frivolous issue."

  7. My car doesnt have ABS anymore, so im trying to get rid of the ABS box under the hood to make more room for a CAI. only problem is, is that the rear brake perportioning valve is attatched to it. my dad came up with getting an older inline style one and putting it in somewhere along the brake lines to the back. Any one know if this will work or not?

     

    I wouldn't get rid of the ABS.

     

    To late he already did. Now, he just wants to get rid of useless components.

  8. "Buyers who have not owned a home in the past three years can take a tax credit worth 10% of a home's sale price, up to $7,500, whichever is smaller.

     

    The credit is good for homes closed on after April 9, 2008 and before July 1, 2009, and can be taken on taxes filed during 2008 or 2009. Even buyers who bought a home before the bill passed, but after April 9, can claim the credit."

     

     

    Nothing to do with first time home owners. Also, does not do any good unless you buy a home between April 9, 2008 and July 1, 2009.

  9. God's way of humor and yes I do find it funny. Jackstands use them.

     

    I take it from this comment you didn't see any other pictures of the scene. The Jaguar was on those black plastic ramps that you can buy at any auto store. So if you want to be an ass about it you should have wrote "Wheel chocks use them."

  10. there is no way for anyone else to get popped for anything. they would have to prove said car with said plates were there and then they would have to prove who was driving the said car. i can tell you that i wish i was number 12 of the 11 because i would not be worried about what the next few day, weeks, months or even years hold because of turning right insted of left.

     

    If that was true speeding cameras and stop light cameras wouldn't work. It comes down to if it wasn't you who had your car and prove it. No alibi gives them enough to pin you with the charge.

  11. Sad situation, but I am glad that we finally have an update on how Monica is doing. I find it pathetic however that it takes a "sting operation" on street racing to bring up what could be considered old news. I tried a Google search of Monica Durban a while back to see how she was doing. Nothing at all came up after January. I hope the recovery process goes well for her.

     

    +1

  12. id do it for free if i could keep the cats, welding the pipe out there and removing the codes with HPT

    but im an 1.5 hours from columbus

     

    Im sorry I am not up on tuning. Is HPT a pregrammer that would tell the computer not to look for the O2 Sensors? 1.5 hrs which way? Would you supply the pipe. Give me a call, he has a dolly so he may be interested. 937-243-4521

  13. If he gets the off road y-pipe ill put it on. Let me know. I would say get that on, then schedule to have it tuned by John Rutan. If your gonna have the tune moddified for O2 sensors you might as well get a full tune while your at it.

     

    I pm'ed John just now. When he gets back to me I will let you know. Thank you.

  14. I know no shop will do it that is why I came here. I was hoping someone wanted cash on the side for the job. If it takes buying an off-road pipe and a tune I am sure he is up for it. He does not have the tools or knowledge to do the job and I do not have a place to do it anymore. I have 2 cars in pieces in my garage. He is willing to have the car trailered to a house or shop or garage w/e works. He pays well. I am really kicking myself for letting my dad use the empty spot in my garage for his project car. Someone help me out please. I know lots of people have done this to their car on here. If you need reference about me not rating you out and getting a fine ask Bill (Bill Dozzer) about me.
