I agree with everything said. The zone sucks. they might even be right about the one on westerville road being the most competent, but they still ride the short bus to work. I walk out empty handed and pissed every time. Evan

If its brown and your not losing oil or trans fluid I wouldn't worry about it to much. You said you have the red fluid so its not impossible that its turned color. The green stuff never stayed green long either. It usually goes to a green/brown mix too. Only trouble with getting it checked by the dealer is if there is a problem its gonna be expensive for them to warranty fix it no matter what the problem is and if it was something like a cracked head and it were me I'd make them get me a new car. Even if it means someone takes a little loss somewhere its better than driving a possible POS that they should be honest enough to make right if they are worth dealing with. Evan

Hehe funny but repost from a few years ago. Evan

I'm surprised the strap didn't break. I break brand new ones that small a couple of times a year and thats just idling. Of course I guess though trucks probably don't get the same traction that we do out on the trails. Evan

Check the listings its probably for sale. Evan

Yeah we have a money problem and I'm pretty sure at least most of the republican law makers are aware of it and are working on it. We are probably seeing some of the beginnings of our progress right now with the "war on terror." I'm also betting alot of unpopular decisions (at least from the perspective of short sighted folks and foreign people) will have to be made in the next 25 or more years. We will hear the arguments and feel the pain and only history can be the true unbiased judge as to any of what we do to preserve our nation was worth the risk/damage. One thing I'd do if I was a democrat for sure is think very hard about why the people you elect seem to work very hard at fighting the republicans for power and attempt to bankrupt the rich with social programs. Someone should tell them to work on a plan to make sure we remain the greatest nation on the planet. My self I see only a military solution to that at this point and from what I'm always watching on the military documentaries I must not be alone in that thought. We are being allowed to see some really amazing stuff and everyone should know that we only get to see old declassified ideas. It makes me think we aren't that bad off, but again I think some serious decisions will have to be made in the not to distant future. Perhaps even our life times. Evan

I'm not expert, but you are so is that when they bring in the female cop? Evan

Now I may be dumb, but ain't we talking about 10.6mils total here? Fuck it I'd do it for 7. 7 ain't alot of money, but its alot of money all at once when your a working man and the money I could make with that would be well worth the effort of doing some crap sex stuff. Furthermore getting paid because you knowingly let your wife do it as well is not gonna feel as bad as when she tells you she's been doing it for like 2 years and now she's done with you. In that situation your stuck with no cash and still got a little dick and who wants that? I'd do and lose about anything to get to better my lifestyle and not have to work another 40 hour week again and I know most any of you would too. Just the interest from 7 mil in an internet saving account would be 350K per year. I ain't ever gonna make that. Evan

Sean that right there is the way to run a service department. The money you could make by pissing them off charging someone for a scan is nothing compared to the money that will be made from referrals by happy customers. In todays market everyones looking for shops that will go the extra mile instead of taking the cheap road and when people find a good one they will let others know. I recently told a bud from work to go to the Goodyear at Westerville and Schrock and I'm sorry I did. All he needed was 7 feet of brake line replaced going over to the passenger side rear wheel on his caddy. They quoted $435 to do it and claimed to need to remove the gas tank to do the job. He did it in his driveway in 20 minutes and 1 line wrench. That shit almost had me going down there to start some shit. I hate bad service. Evan

Exactly Conesmasher, and alot of people are thinking thats exactly what the fed is trying to do. That and cause the debt to lower due to a lower dollar value. Also the low interest rates and the recent lowering of rates by the fed effected the dollar much more than national debt ever could. This should definately cause manufactures to get some more foreign orders than they normally would which is great for our situation. Evan

I had blenden township police called on me several times for loading my cars onto my trailer. They would just roll up and tell me someone called them because I looked like I was doing something dangerous. They didn't even get out of the car. So I moved out into the country now so screw it. Neighborhood was going to hell anyway with all the 80K homes being forclosed on. Evan

Wow thats impressive. The last time I saw the heater specs you showed me for the new one it was 50 amps. Most hot water tanks are going to be 50 amps as well so I don't know the problem. You did say you had a really small tank though so Dan's right. Check the specs and your breaker size. Evan

Yeah nice find though I'm not so sure about its real data since I checked alot fo places in some counties that I know the data for and its no where near correct for unemployment data among other things. Check out Marengo 43334 where I live you can definately see a split in incomes on the chart. It shows a double hump. One for single income families and one that obviously shows for duel income familes. Of the places I searched it definately has the double hump going very defined. I thought it was neat anyway. Evan

You went to pick up a ford and used a ford to do it. What did you think was going to happen? j/k:-) Evan

Ah darn. My truck loves to pull big dumb loads. Good that you got unstuck though. Evan

I agree. I've always believed the "malpractice" theory to be just a way of redirecting everyones attention from the real problems. Evan

Hehe It was WV. Would you cover a doctor practicing there? They probably got there degree at WVU p-burg. Evan

While we're on it I did a little reading through google searching and found that 1.5 inches is considered a big spider for ohio and that one they call a fishing spider (the damn thing can run on top of water) can be up to 3 inches. I actually saw one of those while I was out trail riding once. Mike got stuck in a hole if I remember right and my dad and I got out to look and hook a strap and the thing ran out under the truck and across the water. Freaked me out of course. Okay so I know I've seen many many spiders in my life time that were bigger than 2 inches. I've seen a few that were bigger that 3 inches and I've seen one personally that was as big as my hand. They weren't all the same type for sure as I hate the things bad enough that each one is burned into my memory forever. What types could be that big or are they just freaks and I'm just the unlucky person who encounters them. One was even at scout camp very light brown easily 3 inches and eventually the guys caught it and showed me its dead body so I'd know it was dead. Evan

Nice info. Spiders completely flip me out with terror, but I am just a curious kind of guy so I like learning about them. I think I got a bunch of those funnel spiders in my barn since there are usually webs around too. How big can they get? The biggest I've seen here is maybe 1 inch, but I've seen funnels back in Marietta that suggested a much larger one made it. Evan

The talk on some investment forums I frequent was that GM and the UAW basically knew what they were going to do, but the UAW needed to do a quick strike to save face with there members. Who knows. Evan

Well to me I"m fine with people pursuing happiness anyway they see fit and right. If they get in my way I'll just kill the SOB's and if they don't like me they can do the same. At least we will die free. Evan

I gotta respond to this one. Times may change, but history does in fact repeat itself for the most part. The people of 250 years ago were under rule by kings and churches that watched and listened for disobedience. They jailed and executed people on little or no evidence and it didn't only happen in england. It happened in every nation and/or city state in the history of civilization. Our founding fathers knew this and were attempting a great social experiment to stop or at least slow the progress of this form of harassment. The people were to be free to go about daily life and to pursue happiness as they saw fit. I'm not sure how broad we should define this because for some people happiness comes from raping kids and other crimes that are socially unacceptable. All I know is that we live in the land of the free and need to retain as much freedom as possible or all will be lost. Evan

Hehe now we know why Countrywide is going under. Not dogging you, but they are giving you a loan without knowing if you are in fact a bum or not. I say it sounds like you have a pretty good deal going right there and should jump on it if it truely is a 30 year fixed rate. That rate is good. I'd probably keep a little of your down payment though especially if the house needs anything fixed up. Evan

I'm pretty sure the Marysville Honda plant has UAW people around doing something. This ain't first hand knowledge though. I do know 100% that toyota didn't have any union workers. Its possible that some of the newer plants might though I haven't heard anything in several years. Evan

I listen to the BBC all day in my car. Its is pretty liberial, but some of it is informative. Evan
