The "source" for these numbers is a historically right-leaning government corruption news & opinion paper. I'll wait until a someone other than the Hawaii Reporter comes up with some figures.

2003 BMW 530i Sport: A- steering, hampered only by a completely numb electronic throttle that gives you no ability to rotate the car predictably with your feet. 1995 BMW M3: A The car gives feedback just the way you'd want a track car to, even to the point where you can hear it scream "I'M TOO FREAKING HEAVY, TAKE OUT MY BACK SEATS" 2012 BMW 135i Sport: Someone said it before, I'll upgrade it to a C. Numb. 2013 Audi Q5: D+ I just freaking hate that car. 2004 Acura MDX: D+ my mom bought this over a Lexus RX and I still don't know why. 2006 Hyundai Santa Fe: D Worst car ever made. 1997 Toyota Celica ST: B One of the most marvelous cars I've owned for handling, all it would've needed was a slightly stiffer suspension setup. The response through the wheel was great. 1959 Chevy Apache: F Literally felt like driving a UPS truck, and it was probably 4 turns of the wheel lock-to-lock. 1999 Ford Explorer Sport: B- I'll say this, the responsiveness of the steering in that truck saved my ass more than a few times in snowy VT. Friend's cars: Chrysler Crossfire: C- Basically an SLK they managed to further ruin the weight balance of. Totally pointless car. Acura RSX Type-S: B+ Great handling but the back end really hampers these cars. Feels disconnected and unpredictable. Honda S2K: A- Who cares about the steering wheel, steer with your right foot. Plenty of response there as long as you keep it over 6000 RPM. 2005 Audi A4: B+ Pig. FIAT 500: B- Electric steering good for street driving but less predictable at high speed cornering. FIAT 500 Abarth: A- Corners predictably, super light back end not as squirrely as RSX Type-S but still loose under TTO.

as did i. hooray for digital download hoarding

A little bit more forceful than I would've said it, but I agree with everything in this statement.

I live north of the hilltop and the ghetto birds patrol there constantly. last year or the year before one of them dropped their camera on the road 2 streets away from me.

It's really one of the best shows I've ever seen. Grew up watching it with my dad, and I think Jean-Luc Picard is the reason I have such an interest in foreign diplomacy. Also, :megusta: Deanna Troi and her spacesuit cameltoe

ITT: NERRRRRDS. Firefly is pretty good though. I constantly watch Star Trek: TNG on Netflix

No way to tell with the current information, but I would say given the things they're saying about the suspect, the officers were at least justified in chasing him. Multiple active warrants, threats of bodily harm, threats of shooting up the CPD. It sounds like this guy definitely needs to be apprehended, as opposed to some moron who just blasted through a stop sign or something.

This is the best livejournal I've read in years.

I thought we'd never see a land yacht uglier than the early Chris Bangle-designed 7-series with that awful back end. I was wrong.

There's probably better things to be doing with that particular jail cell/judge's time/police resources/etc, but at the end of the day I have no sympathy for the dude.

Yeah David DeRoncey died elsewhere... http://blog.al.com/spotnews/2012/11/birmingham_police_say_i-65_vic.html

I thought it was a black kid that got shot, not that it should have any bearing on the situation...but sadly the race of the victim does play a role...because Florida. Either way, the more I read about this, the more I feel this guy is in the wrong in a way that Trayvon's shooter wasn't. He wasn't on or near his own property, nor was he on property that the victim(s) had no business being around. EDIT: I now see the above posts. I hope this gets the press it deserves.

This. The actions of this person indicate a vindictive desire. I don't doubt that he felt threatened by intruders. Those actions are not what's in question. What's in question is what he did after the initial shooting, and to what extent he felt he needed to "neutralize" the threat. Obviously he can't have felt that threatened after the initial takedown if he was comfortable enough to walk up to the intruders, put a revolver under one's chin, and fire. That isn't the action of someone who feels threatened anymore, that's the action of someone saying "you're going to pay for what you did". I don't care what interpretation of the law you subscribe to, in America it is your right to stand your ground and protect yourself against someone who means to do you harm but the vindictive killing of another person deserves jail time.

That's my initial thought, but I'm still trying to reserve judgement.

Obviously you have a problem with lawbreakers. But you feel there's nothing wrong with tampering with a crime scene to make someone look more guilty than they actually are...which would make you a lawbreaker. But I suppose you'd be the "okay" kind of lawbreaker just looking out for his family's safety, not the "scum" kind of lawbreaker that deserves to be killed in cold blood, right? In the world where you're king that might be okay, but let's just say I'm glad I'm not your neighbor, because if tampering with evidence is okay for a home invasion and killing, I'd hate to have a Molotov thrown my way for accidentally mowing on your side of the property line.

JUSTICE FOR [insert name here] SHIRTS ON SALE

http://www.cnn.com/2012/11/28/us/florida-music-shooting/index.html?hpt=hp_t3 But why does this shit always happen in Florida? More facts need to come out before I form an opinion, but "jump to conclusions" Alex thinks that if you're willing to pull out a gun, even in self defense, you're not allowed to say you never intended to kill anyone. Isn't that pretty much the first rule of CCW? You don't pull out your weapon unless you intend to kill your target?

Obvious troll is obvious. 3/10 stars.

I still have the bill of sale from when Howard sold me his Makarov, just in case CPD ever shows up wanting to test the gun from a murder that happened in 2010 :gabe:

If a Trek card is just a regular old credit card there's nothing fishy about a Cannondale being bought on it. Even if it's only authorized for use at certain stores, it's not unthinkable that a different brand could be bought on it. Ask if he'd do a bill of sale and show you a photo ID to verify information. "I __(him)___ transfer legal ownership of ______ (item) AS IS to ____(you)____ for the agreed upon sum of $1500." And write down both your addresses, DOBs, and names at the bottom with your signatures and today's date. In the worst case where it is stolen property, you're out $1500 but you at least made a very good faith effort to take responsibility off yourself.

Smear blood down the quarter panels and leave a sign in the window with an arrow pointing to the blood that says "see what happened to the last guy who tried to break into this car? I'm watching you..."

I'm not sure if it's legal in Ohio. Lots of crazy booze laws here when it comes to liquor stores. They don't specialize in liquor, but Gentile's in Grandview is my go-to for hard to find beer. They might at least be able to point you in the right direction. http://www.gentiles.com/gentiles/Home.html

Be careful. My dad had a friend with a classic Challenger who used to do this until he came back to it with "PRICK" scrawled into the paint with a key. Obviously this was in the days before security cameras, but the point is the same; by parking like that in a way that says "I DON'T LIKE TO BE FUCKED WITH", you're making a target out of your car.
