No you are missing the point. You said that outlaws are getting their guns from legal owners so, if you outlaw them they will eventually disappear. We are saying if there is no longer any legal owners to take those guns from they will some place else to get them. The only thing you do by outlawing them is take them away from the people willing to obey the law.

OK? So since they don't grow on trees there is no black market with weapons that could be smuggled into the states? I know people that walk back across the border with stillettos and switch blades. Both did not grow on trees, both are illegal in the US. Just as easy to pack a small gun and walk back across. That isn't even a professional doing it for mass profit. Alcohol was illegal and it was smuggled/produced everywhere. If you think no one would smuggle or produce firearms if they were outlawed maybe you should lay off the stuff growing on trees in tropical climates.

If you picture the cylinder from the side, the area cut off would create a right triangle with side b being 236", angle A being 28.75 and angle C being 90. Using the calculator below: http://www.cleavebooks.co.uk/scol/calrtri.htm You can get side c as being 269". Now you know the ellipse has a minor axis of 236" and a major axis of 269". Using the calculator below: http://www.cleavebooks.co.uk/scol/callipse.htm You come to the conclusion that the area of the resulting ellipse is 49,900 sq. in. Hope this helps. I do not remember all of the formulas to do this but I once had a teacher that made sure to point out that a smart man doesn't have all the answers he just knows where to find them.

No problem. Thank you for keeping an eye out for the car. I haven't had any luck with the police and the Captain leaves before I get home. Friday I have the day off so I am going in. I went ahead and called my insurance so they could investigate. My claim agent ran the plate number for me. It comes back to a Chevy truck registered in Troy, OH. Looks like I may not find the driver. My claims agent is in NE OH so I doubt she will bother going to the address listed for the truck and seeing if they have a Prelude. I would assume that is who it was because the car had front and rear tags. $250 deductible looks like it will be coming out of my toy money. I do not know if it even worth fixing. It doesn't look like much but all the rear panels/trunk lid don't line up right and the exhaust is damaged. It already had damage to the driver's side where a Durango with no insurance hit it. I may just sell the car and use my toy money to get a new car for her. It has 128k and has already had the motor replaced once. It needs the front bearings done for the 3rd time (lifetime warranty just annoying to do every 2 yrs). The cooling fan needs replaced (noisey, bearings going bad). There is also always a coolant smell but it isn't losing coolant and it holds pressure.

If you want to come out to Marysville I can help you out. PM me if interested.

Chicago continues to be overrun by violent crime and guns. Despite some of the tightest gun control laws in the country, murders are a twice-daily occurrence in Chicago, on average. Other jurisdictions around the nation in the last decade have come to realize the fallacy of gun control. Thirty-two states now issue concealed-carry gun permits and on average violent crime has dropped 24 percent in those states1, but Chicago, following the dubious example of Washington, D.C., continues with the old tried-and-failed method of legislating criminal behavior out of existence by restricting access to firearms. Even open-carry of a gun is banned here. Our booming population of murderous thugs love the 'gun-free' atmosphere that such policies create. It leaves them with all the guns, and they use them. In 2001, their exhaustive, murderous efforts put 665 bodies on slabs in the morgue, which made Chicago the murder capital of the nation yet again. Moral cretins like these pay scant attention to the laws that prohibit blowing holes in other people, so naturally gun control laws are of no consequence to them whatsoever. To the thugs, Chicago is a new Wild West, where bullets can and do fly anyplace, anytime. Even better for the hoods, the law-abiding guy on the other side of the corral has no way to defend himself from hails of illicit gunfire. With only the lawbreakers armed and the law-abiding obeying gun laws, the piles of cold bodies stack up like bloody cordwood year after grim year. The more 'sensible gun laws' Mayor Daley and company pass, the larger the body counts. http://www.gunowners.org/op0308.htm

How do I go about getting the information? I would love to have his name and address to give to my insurance agent. They don't want to even come look at it until the police decide what the end result will be.

That guy's nose flopping across his face when he got slapped was hilarious.

I was driving thru down this weekend and saw a Championship White Type R with red Recaros and some Anthracite 10? spoke wheels. It was parked in front of Advanced Auto. Anyone know whos it is?

So I am laying in bed last night and I hear something slam into something else right in front of my house. I jump up and look out my window. Some :asshole: ricer pulled into my driveway and hit my girlfriend's car. Now he is proceeding to try and shove it further towards the house. I run out the door as he is taking off. I run back inside grab the keys and holler for my g/f to call the cops. I catch up to the guy a little ways up the street coming out of a parking lot. My guess is he was drunk sped up to the dark parking lot switched seats with the passanger and was headed back to his house. I turn around and start following him as I dial the cops. I end up following him into Mill Valley (a mega subdivision). He turns left and just flat out punches it. Due to the fact that I had his plate and the fact that I wasn't going to risk any innocents to try and keep up with him, he got out my site. I run into a cop in the subdivision looking for the car. We both go seperate ways looking for the guy. I get a call to come back to the house. Hoping that the cop has found the guy I go home. I get there and he has taken a witness statement from my g/f who didn't see anything and is finishing up his summary for his report later. He tells me all he can do at this point is write a report. He says "Usually it is some young kid and in the next couple days his parents will come in to make a report that his car was hit and we should be able to tie the 2 cases together." At this point I am furious, I HAVE HIS PLATE NUMBER. I described this kids car down to the rusty AZ tip exiting only one side of his body kit with dual cutouts for exhaust. I described the passangers clothing, the make, model, color, etc. etc. All they can do is take a report?!?! My dad was a cop and my brother is a cop but, ever since I have moved here (Ohio) I have ran into more lazy/bad apple cops than I had ever hoped existed in the world. I get on CR and read about people getting tickets in their driveway for parking and yet a hit skip with a plate number is only worth a report?! WTF?! Sorry it has been a long weekend capped by BS and retarded people. /rant

I think he was letting it spool up.

I had the same idea. I spoke to Sco0terzsl after I saw some of the pictures on his website. He is going to try and come and also bring another photographer friend of his. The more people that let him know there is an interest may help him decide wther or not to come.

I'm in. Definitely need to detail my car before I go though, dd has taken' its toll.

http://www.beersince1933.com/1919rootbeer.htm That is the type they had at their party. Their is a coney shop on W. Broad over by the Hospital/AutoZone (Iforget their name) and they have FrostTop on tap. They would probably know where to get it.

Thanks Brandon.

Any good sites/brands that sell kits where I can do some more research on them? I plan on talking the IPS and SloMo but, I would like to do some of my own research. I do not know that I am ready to piece something together. It would be nice to kind something to the supercharger kits where it is all inclusive (maybe minus the engine management). I also saw a post on here awhile back about variable vane turbos. Is that anywhere in the $5k for the whole setup price range? Is it worth the price difference? Who sells them?

The Procharger claims 70-75% with their HO kit and nothing else (no stand alone engine management, exhaust, cams etc.) That would put me at about 297hp. The Vortech claims they dynoed a stock Type R with their HO kit at 298hp/175tq. The main difference between the kits being the style of intercooler and not having to run oil lines with the Procharger. I can get the Procharger for $4100 but that leaves the visible intercooler. I don't know that hiding the intercooler is worth the $700 more that the Vortech would cost. Niether of those systems REQUIRE Hondata although it would be best. Hondata is gonna cost me another $1000. (ECU, chiping, S300, Tune) I have no clue what/where to look at to compare turbo kits. I would assume that with $1000 in cams, $1000 in exhaust, $1000 in intake, and $1000 in Hondata I might make close to 250-275 if I went NA which leaves me short of my goal. I know places like Slow Motion can set me up with a turbo setup but, I would like to know where I can research complete kits, the power they provide and their cost. The biggest downside I see to a supercharger is going through first to get up to the powerband. I have read lots of complaints about Vortech's lack of low end power. I cannot find any reviews on the Procharger. Jackson Racing is out of the question ( I do not like anything about them from lack of power to the lack of further intake modifications to go further some day). If anyone is a big Honda nut I would love to sit down and talk sometime. I have tried registering for OhioHondas but haven't recieved anything back allowing me to join.

I did my taxes last night and found out I will be getting about $5K back. My goal is to have a daily driver with 20+ mpg and 12.99 or quicker. The car weighs 2639 as it sits. I am putting out 175hp/124tq. From all of the calculators I can find I need to be somewhere in the 300 hp range. I have been strongly looking at a Vortech or ATI Procharger supercharger system. I really like the Vortech because it uses a liquid to air intercooler that is under the hood. I like not having anything "showing" on the outside. The Procharger would have a visible intercooler (maybe paint it black to hide it a little) but, it is a contained system (no line to the oil pan). I am kind of turned off by turbo because every Honda/Acura that wants to go fast immidiatly goes to a turbo setup. Granted it is a tried and true but, I like to have something different. I also have looked into a NA setup but, I do not know how feasible it is. Any input would be great.

Is there a cost for observers?
