  1. and 6 posts later... Speaking of politicians....
  2. Ok, I read the first page, and this page (This is CR, the rest of the pages are probably just worthless trolling anyways), and all I have to say is this... If the extent of the story is that you were all at a party, and dude passed out first and his "punishment" was that somone moved his car to a sidewalk and got him impounded, then I hope that there is a special place in hell for whoevers idea that was. Also, don't EVER let me catch you sleeping at a party...jussayin. Now, if theres more to it than that, then all bets are off. As an aside, bros named "Igor" (I mean, seriously? "Fetch me a brain" Igor?) who talk shit about the money that they supposedly have are not good at making first impressions. Given only what I've read so far, that guy is "four popped collars" level douchebag.
  3. Been in sales most of my life, and engineering the other parts. One thing that I have learned is "Under-promise and Over-deliver". This is really, really weak. Also, Even though the cost is much less per mile in DOLLARS, it is much higher in TIME. Charging at even the most efficient Quick charge stations available today is likely to take you 20 to 30 minutes (from the time you plug in), AND as the demand for such things increases, you are going to see new tarriff rates and new charges for Electricity suppliers, as well as new taxes, as well as new regs for the grid reliability standard. Transmission and distribution costs will be affected, and in states like Cali, where we have already seen that they have issues managing the grid (see: brownouts), who knows what the extra demand on mostly off peak hours (when folks will be charging their car at home) will do to their situation. Trust me, the Electric companies are going to cash in. Another thing to think about is that Electricity prices on the open market are most closely tied to natural gas prices, and with the increased demand in electricity, natural gas prices will rise as well. Theres a lot more to this "electric vehicle" push than most people think.
  4. SARS, NIPAH, LCM, TT, H5N1... Just a few other cool things about that region of the world.
  5. Moog, do you still have your CTS-V? I'm looking at these now, and I was wondering if there's anything I should know about them. Like a good year, or mechanical issues, yada yada. Thanks man.
  6. I don't care what anyone says, the original A-Team van was straight baller.
  7. Can I expect him to get rid of YOUR MOM?! (Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaamnnnn) On a more serious note, I love this shit. Even if it does have watermarks.
  8. This made me chortle heartily. Derek, if I buy and Audi, are you gonna stop working on my cars?
  9. N/A BYERS DUBLIN 6801 VILLAGE PKWY DUBLIN OH 43017207424012 1,059,440 88,286.67 63.90% 210.88 $ 0.0663 I do this for a living. That right there is there usage and price to compare. That turbine will generate a fairly small portion of their usage, but I imagine they did get a nice little tax credit for it. Trust me when I say, they will NOT be seeling any of that energy back to the grid. Also, if they had spoken to me, I could have lowered their energy prices by close to 20% and made them "greener" at the same time, and they wouldn't have had to lay out the cost of the turbine. Oh, and I can do that for your business too.
  10. At what point, when you are going over your bills, you you look at the one from the EFFING FIRE DEPARTMENT and say, "Ah, I won't need this". Shit dude, seriously?
  11. Sometimes if you don't know, that really means that you know.
  12. That is really, really cool.

  14. It's a very cool car, for sure. Say what you will, but Hyundai has made a serious come up in the past 5 years or so. And Jones, I drove that car a while ago, and it is freakin titties. Daddy needs a bigger paycheck so he can get one...
  15. My mother was an alcoholic and a drug addict, and my dad is an alcoholic as well. There are drug addictions and alcoholism all throughout my family. If there was anyone predisposed to be one, it's me. But I'm not. Why? Bcause I DON"T DRINK. Alcoholism is a disease that one chooses to have, regardless of genetics. Nate, run. Run Fast and Far. I cannot stress enough to you how much something like this in the ones you love can completely wreck shit for you. And you can't make them better.
  16. If that was in the X Games, I wouldn't hate them nearly as much. And that second video had me giggling. Thats great shit, man.
  17. Jeebus. Spiders are like little machines of Death. Not sure if you are aware, CR, but there is a specific region of our brain that is designed to make us afraid of spiders. Seriously. http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2001/10/1004_snakefears.html And in related news, Scientists have succesfully spliced the genes of spiders and...MUTHERFUCKING GOATS! http://inhabitat.com/2010/05/30/transgenic-spider-goat-hybrids-produce-tougher-than-steel-silk/ So, prepare yourself for the goat-spider apocalypse. Seriously, science? Lets mate terrifying little engines of death with animals that are damn near impossible to kill, live anywhere in the world, and EAT EVERYTHING THEY CAN GET TO!!! God dammit.
  18. Thought they might have gotten over yesterday. What happened to Stafford? He get hurt?
  19. Ben is just frustrated because he can't put a copyright on being a douche to newbie trolls.
  20. That actually looks like a wood or grass spider. Fairly quick, and they spin a funnel web when not invading peoples homes cause it's getting cold out. Thats a fairly large specimen, though. I'll wait for confirmation from our resident entemologist, as I only know this stuff from my scouting days. (imurobgyn)
  21. My sincerest condolences to you and your family.
  22. Yeah, and he does dirve it like he stole it. You should see him at ledges.
