  1. Jacky O glasses are timeless!!! On the subject of selling expensive boots, I just hocked my Millets: Unfortunately, we sold at a loss.
  2. http://www.videosift.com/video/US-Defense-Budget-Explained-with-OREO-Cookies-Flash-ver Not endorsing his site, but it's a good visual for what your cash is going to. I am endorsing ice cream and oreos.
  3. more: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/12/15/us/15ohio.html?_r=4&adxnnl=1&oref=slogin&adxnnlx=1197900143-zp/9qGi9YlguCelC+pUJPQ&oref=slogin&oref=slogin
  4. Do the world a favor and burn those fucking boots. Present the charred remains and your reciept at the pearly gates, you'll get in.
  5. The year they came out, I managed to see a works car testing at Mid Ohio. It had straight pipes and ranks VERY HIGHLY on my list of WORST sounding engines ever produced. It seriously sounded that bad, OMG teh suck was it nasty. To prove that I'm not biased, I'll add that my current XJR6 is also on the same list.
  6. I'm rather surprised that the ol jag frame holds the road that well. There's only so much you were allowed to do to them.
  7. Good point. Free revving engines don't sound nearly as good as those under load. i.e. Accelerating.
  8. along with any meaty V8 at 7000+rpm http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRU2lDCSfBU
  9. Dont look at me, I'm a time Nazi when it comes to projects. I'm also just a cog in this one. The supra paint...something came up.
  10. 37 I could take more, it would be a trial of endurance. There's a classic 3000year old Roman tactic that would be ftw.
  11. This technically violates some laws in some cases....It REALLY violates it in others.
  12. There is a simple explanation: -Or car looked great, not dumb -our car ran great, no drama -We ran great, clean (mostly), didn't fuggup anyone We were boring.
  13. It is you that lifts the barrel. If you can make the recoil disappear, so will the lift. Air is a 3 dimensional force and a round is symmetrical. Any lift force will be balanced by an equal force in the other direction.
  14. I'm already planning on picking a few off the shelves when they hit. Good to find a local though! I'm in West Chester, work in Mason.
  15. Actually, having greater mass means that drag will have less of an effect. A slug will have little push on it from the air, but shot is another story all together. You have newtonian physics involved here. The drag force acting on the projected round is proportionally the same as the dropped round, it's a given percent of the velocity. i.e. still the same.
  16. I'm looking to have a scanned or photo copy of their article on The 24 Hours of Lemons. Plz?
  17. ummm math? If one slug flies differently than another, there's no point in sighting it in, you'll never be consistent. If you have your muzzel velocicty, you have enough to predict your arc. If you're doing the "gnats ass" of factoring in drag, you need more data but it's still not hard...you also have too much time on your hands AND your wasting it. Stand on the great salt lake and fire a slug perfectly perpendicular to gravity. It will take just as long to hit the ground as a slug dropped from the barrel.
  18. Sight in a shootgun? I wasn't aware you even needed to aim them. You can do this in your basement with the right measuring tools, never firing a shot.
