  1. Bill, go to The Andersons. They have great prices on wire. I'd also normally suggest 4 awg unless the amps are only taking a really light load.
  2. Getting a 12-15 month 0% intro APR isn't all that hard (with good credit); the thing that sucks is they all seem to charge a 3% balance transfer fee. The really good ones at least cap out the 3% after $100-200.
  3. I saw an SLR at a dealership in Manhattan. Ehhh, it was cool and all, but not exotic looking enough for 300k.
  4. If you are going to call someone a "douche bag" at least learn how to spell douche. I've said it many times: Drifting - the Ice Dancing of motorsports.
  5. Mine: 2007 Hyperlite Imperial 140. Click here for info. The 140's are the black boards, not the silver. $250. Don't compare prices of an Imperial 130 and 135, as the 140's are more expensive and less common. Blank board, no bindings. This board has a LOT of pop, and soft landings. It tracks like crazy, even without the bolt-on fins. But sadly, I ended up liking a loose board better (everyone is different, a lot of people like a board that tracks really well). This is a good, pro-style board, not your off-brand garbage. If you want to get this board for a steal, don't bother. I don't need it, but I am not hurting for cash either. I'll keep it before I just give it away for an uber deal; too good of a board. Great board for guys that like a longer board, or a must for anyone tall or over 180-ish lbs. Would be interested in trade + cash for a few Wii accessories, or maybe a nice motherboard w/ a Pentium Quad Core processor attached to it. Audi RNS-E + cash from me if you have one too.
  6. My little LT1 has whooped enough 5.0 and 4.6 cars at the track to HIGHLY disagree with that statement. And that 4.6 is both the 2v and 4v variety. I'll 100% agree that the stock F-body 10-bolt is a POS, but the tranny is far stronger than the Mustang's (year for year for the most part), so IMO that whole statement is a wash.
  7. If you are willing to deal a bit, I might be interested.
  8. People still watch baseball? Where's my baseball?
  9. That movie SUCKS. Made Lady in the Water seem like a masterpiece. About 30-40 minutes in, it took a turn to cheesy, and never looked back. My wife and I loved this IMDB review: "Yup, no ending! I was disappointed, greatly disappointed. That's right, no ending. It has wind, lots of wind, but no ending. It has much terror and screaming, but alas, no ending. It has a great cast, but alas, no-"no bra" slow motion running and no ending. It has no end to the number of dead people scattered about, but no ending. It has crazy people in it, but not a one of them crazy enough to write an ending.It did have some great camera work, but severely lacked any plot development or ending.The opening credits were well done and were complete with an ending, but that's where the wheels fell off the train. This train wreck had no ending. I, however have mercifully concocted an ending. I do hope you like it. It goes a little something like this...... THE END!"
  10. This weather sucks. I want to be out on my boat enjoying the weather.
  11. Dead people can't testify.
  12. BS. Once I got my boat running well, upkeep costs are low, insurance is low, and mine is very fuel efficient. We use it a lot in the summer, which makes it a great item to have. Hell, other than an oil change and gas, I don't think I dropped a dime into her this year (well, $11 for a new winch strap, but that's the trailer, not the boat). Congrats Berto; I love owning a boat. Depending on funding, we hope to upgrade ours next year or the year after for sure.
  13. I installed/used my X-bars/barmount. Install is pretty straight forward. PITA to get the netural/reverse/overtemp lights into it, but once in they look great. Bars went in easily, everything mounted perfectly. The whole setup looks awesome. I can now actually see my Vapor when I ride.
  14. I've owned both an SN95 AND an LT1 F-body, of the same year, at the same time. I can't believe Ford thought the Mustang was even competiton for the F-body. Way slower stock-for-stock, didn't handle as well, interior felt cheaper (not that my Formula's interior feels nice by any means), worse fuel mileage, horriable shifter placement, etc. The Moostang made for an alright daily driver, but I don't see me ever owning another.
  15. I can't believe ANYONE would want Palin to run ANYTHING. That broad is a freaking idiot. Because she hunts, that makes her a good leader? Because she winks to you on camera, is alright looking, and constantly calls McCain a "Maverick" that makes her a good leader?
  16. I shouldn't be paying for YOUR kids to go to school at all. I didn't tell you to breed. If I have kids, I should be the one paying for their schooling. When they are out, I should STOP PAYING. People should take responsibility for their own kids.
  17. I think I would have shot the intruder with his own weapon.
  18. I have the same exhaust on my Raptor; looks/sounds good...not quiet like stock!
  19. Saw a new one identical to that at Ask in R-burg when I was getting a part for my Raptor a couple of days ago; they were putting a sold tag on it. I've also seen one on Fishinger before too. Odd for sure; not really my bag.
  20. Wrong. Exact same thing happened on Time Warner too. And from the sounds of it, happened on for the Dish folks as well. ESPN/ABC FTL.
  21. - I think this is proof to the idiots who thought that our high gas prices were a result in a shortage of fuel. - IMO this also goes the opposite for McCain, as now people aren't nearly as focused on fuel costs, one of McCain's biggest issues (not to say Obama doesn't make a huge issue of it either, but McCain is more public with his drill, drill, drill policy...one I'm not against).

    Debate 2.0

    Yes, we SHOULD pack up our troops and head home. We aren't the only country in the world with a military. We should be an EQUAL parter with our allies, not the country that does all the foot work. Foot work = $$ spent; money we don't have. Explain again why we have to be the peace keepers and world police, and other countries can sit back and watch what we do, and judge us based on our actions. Here is a simple fact: we can't afford to be in this war. And it is helping to cause the downfall of this country. But so is trying to rescue every Tom, Dick, and Henry that can't figure out how to use a calculator and buys a house that they couldn't even afford at half the cost.

    Debate 2.0

    Dear Military People, Just because you were over there, and feel sorry for these people, or feel we are doing "good" in that country, doesn't mean we should be there. WE ARE NOT THE WORLD POLICE. The US needs to mind its own business. Why do we need to be the country that does the majority of the military work in the world? Iraq: yeah, they sure were attacking us. I know it is just budgeting 101, but you can't spend more than you take in. And if the war costs more, then you shouldn't be there. We shouldn't be giving money to countries like Georgia. Again, NOT OUR PROBLEM. But instead, the US Govt thinks it is wise to save all of these other countries, while ours goes into the shitter.
  24. You can try justifying where you live all you want; it's a shitty area. Are there far worse areas in Columbus - for sure. Would I move into that area? Hell no. I've seen some very nice homes in some pretty crappy areas.
