  1. A stock M3 would get (way) more than 3k.... i know this wasn't an M3 to start with, but it sounds like it has everything done to make it an M3 and more. Edmunds TMV for 1996 M3 is 6k
  2. Because it's people they don't like on a personal level or that person dares to question anything?
  3. I underestimated your mental age, I'm giving you at least 13 after that witty comeback. Let me go into the deeper context of my earlier post that you clearly missed due to your unfounded blind hatred of me. It's no wonder that Rob wouldn't want to come back here if that's your attitude. It sounds like he's had a shit storm happen in his life lately. I could care less about Rob or him being on here. I don't know anything of him firsthand, except for how he carried himself on here, which was not very well. But if what he's going to get when he came back here, if he even wants to, is you telling him "I told you so", like a child, then why would he want to come back here?
  4. Berto, I have access to the right scales to find the CG. Longitudinal CG should be all I should need.
  5. Thanks. The part about non-uniform bodies makes sense and is the intuitive conclusion I came to but I couldn't pin down why so I decided it must be ok/correct to do it the 'easy' way. A good estimate will be enough as I don't need their actual moments of inertia but just need to compare them to each other. Just trying to set up a worst case scenario. Edit: just so you know I did pose this on another forum and I'm getting that my first thought is correct. Just out of curiosity do you have a working knowledge in this area?
  6. just want to make sure I'm thinking about this right. It's been a while since I've touched this stuff and I figured I could ask here before I pulled out any books. If I know the CG, weight (mass) of something and the point at which I'm rotating it around (how far is the CG from this point) I can use the simple equation of I = mr^2 rather than modeling each piece of a complex object... right? E.G. trying to figure out the moment of inertia of a (few different) trailers. TIA
  7. They've went from 0 movies then to 0 movies now about torturing animals so you're shit out of luck. :gabe:

  10. Well, I may have if we still had cable but now our main source of TV is netflix and hulu so its not really an opion to cancel. It still very annoying that the price has basically doubled in the last year. I'm blaming it on the networks being greedy and trying to push netflix out, charge them more for content.
  11. :lolguy: I must have missed that, but it's still funny. In for his reply.
  12. I know that his argument tried to go deeper than that, but I didn't agree with his base premise so that's my main argument against his argument. I think we can imagine a perfect island the same as we can image a 'being than which noting greater can be thought.' We are imagining the perfect being in abstract, not specifics. We are not specifically defining every attribute of this being, just as we aren't defining every attribute of the perfect island. So lets posit for a moment that there is a being than which nothing greater can be thought. Why is that necessarily defined as god? Maybe it's just some great being, on another planet, somewhere in another solar system or even another universe, that is nothing like what we on Earth have every defined as god. Just a being beyond our comprehension, but maybe it's also just that, another being. Maybe we are alone in this universe so the greatest being that's ever existed, existed on this planet at some point. Probably some great dolphin, man certainly can't be god. Further, even if that is god, what does that even mean? As people we've tried to define what god is and isn't to match what we as a society want, need. If god does exist hes likely nothing like anything we've tried to paint god(s) as.
  13. We can conceive things in our mind that may not necessarily exist in reality.
  14. I'm finding it hard to believe that a physicist every spent any time talking to you. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einstein_notation
  15. Air Conditioning the military cost more per year than the entire NASA budget. :dumb:
  16. HOw tight should I make the belts when they are manually tightened; there is no automatic tensioner, you screw a bolt to move a pulley.
