  1. Deffinately. It's still too young to be a collector car. In fact, it's generally considerdd to be a steady slope of dpericication for at least 20-30 years. That car isn't even at it's most worthless yet. Best to just put it in your will.
  2. Then your mountain lion story, by comparison, would suck: "I saw it, and shot it in the face." [/thread] You wouldn't even have any scars. Actually, it kinda does. If I did that and it actually worked, I would probably chuckle out loud, right then and there (The article doesn't take into account chemical imbalance and mental illness). If it doesn't work, poke it in the eye with your stump. I have varying blades for different areas, all the way up to the 34 inch "bear stick" which I bring everywhere that I bring my boy. FYI guys: Ohio *is* bear country these days, mostly southern.
  3. Good story, with some science: http://discovermagazine.com/2010/the-brain/04-stages-fear-attacked-mountain-lion-edition/ Carry knives, folks.
  4. Anyone know anythgn about this place? They don't seem to have a website. They're "catagorized" under "sailboat manufacturers."
  5. Will do, though you're going to call it BS liberal propaganda.
  6. That was a Clarkson exaggeration. To the limeys in the 90's, 4.6 liters was huge.
  7. Never miss a chance to laud the car. After all, there's a reason I was looking at for-sale ads.
  8. Almost as easily as a Cobra of the same year....... until you put headers on it. Long tubes for that car exist, but fetch a premium. http://www.fordracingparts.com/images/part/full/M6010D46.jpg Same block, same 9 bolt mains, slightly different intake and cam profile.
  9. Yeah that's more the point. I like the cars.... because I want to drive them. It's not a collectors car, no matter what badge you stick on it.
  10. How do you buy a car and not drive it for 12 years? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1998-Lincoln-Mark-VIII-Collectors-Edition-92-Miles-/180505646520?cmd=ViewItem&pt=US_Cars_Trucks&hash=item2a06f995b8
  11. Because I've had enough ass to *not* be willing to put up with their bullshit just to be near it?
  12. All I can think of when looking at them; God they've got the be insufferable, I wouldn't want to be in the same room with them.
  13. Giant Catapults? http://www.ballerhouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/airkick.jpg L'Terbuche? http://www.billfryer.com/dsc/newimages/cat5.jpg
  14. But were those weapons determined to be deployable? IIRC they were low yeild, and it was theorized that their detonation aparatus was the size of a two-car garage.
  15. You don't get what's going one when people "blame Bush", do you? We're nto blaming Bush, we're blaming you. All of you people who claim to be experts and know-it-alls, it was your judgement that elected that moron, so every time you claim to have the answers, you get reminded about your mistake. Yes, it's been over a year, and it's going to take longer than that fix what was broken. The guy actually admitted to engagine in tactics to postpone the recession until he left office... which made it worse. Yeah god forbid any thought be put into deploying our troops. Check your facts on the "expanded teh whole operations", because..... wait, you're knocking Barry for something that you loved W for doing? Things are getting awfully transparent, lots of people just tow the old line; "it's right when we do it, nto when you do." Wow you really like things to be simple, do you? We know they had chemical weapons in the 80's, we kept the receipts. They spent them on Iran. We also knew that were lacking the ability to produce them or any other WMDs on thier own. The only time they had them is when they were given them.... which was almost 30 years ago. All that info is in official CIA reports that you never read because they go against what you want to beleive.
  16. Yeah, like that was difficult? 9/11 united the country, it wouldn't have mattered who was in charge. Anf yes, everyone said Fuck the taliban, stomp on Afghanistan. But gues what? I'm genuinely pissed about this: Your dumb ass president gave them TWO WEEKS NOTICE that we were coming! Two weeks of "Hey Afghanistan, we're coming, we know where you are and we're coming to get you". And he was surpsised that the power-players were hard to find? It's almost like he didn't want to catch Bin Laden, like leaving him alive would prove some benefit of some kind *coughmilitaryindustrialcomplexcough*. Cant wage a decade-long war if you successfully bomb your primary target overnight. Actually, probably. Also consider who is being surveyed for those approval ratings. Have you ever taken part in an opinion poll? I sure as hell havent, I tell them no-thanks when they call and don't do the online ones: no time. The people that take part in those surveys aren't an accurate barometer for public opinion. The only ones to take part int he polls are either bored or pissed enough to take the time out of their day to take a survey. Polled approval numbers are always lower than actual approval ratings, doesn't matter who's in office. The influence you speak of began dying at the end of the cold war. It was finnaly killed by the Iraq war, we lost ALL of our credibility with that fumble. I'd love to hear you explain how 50 years of street cred was killed in 18 months. Your guys pussy-footed with those dictators just as much as anyone else, they just talked more shit as they did it.... accept when Reagan helped Iraq get WMDs.
  17. How can it be old, it's only been 18 months. What do you mean by "losing our influence in the world"? Exactly what influence did we have before? I'm really curious about your menaing there, and I'll step back and let you clarify before proceding further. Is your internet broken? Of course it isn't, you just don't reaserch things when you're not sure if you're right or not. Just like the other Neo Cons, you run on rhetoric. This wasn't even hard to find: Obama Campaing Promises: 510 Promises kept (finalized, so far): 123 Promises in the works: 253 Promises broken: 19 Promises ended in compromise: 34 Like it or not, he's been the busiest president since you've been alive. Would you like to compare Obamas first 12 months to Dubyuh's?
  18. That's how the military industrial complex works: "Our Tax dollars are being spent on other people" -What are we buying them? = Stuff from US companies. A vast majority of the billions of dollars that we're "dumping over there" is coming right back over here, and right into the pockets of the people supplying the armed forces, PMCs, infrastructure-buildin' contractors, etc. Yet passing a school levy is a waste of money.
  19. No, his policy was "make shit up to get us on the ground, then just kinda leave it up to the Military to figure out how to actually win... then leave it up to some one else." You're confusing " A guy that gets stuff done" with "a guy that starts shit he can't finish". Brilliant strategy. "Carnival of Thermobarrics". Should take care of the jungle, the mines, and the traps. Do we have enough to pave a way all the way to The Great Leaders bunker?
  20. http://media3.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/photo/2010/05/21/PH2010052100970.jpg
  21. They talk alot of shit until they get actually busted crossing a line. They deny the acts because they don't want war; as zealous as they are, they know they wont last against the modern militaries. They also deny the acts because they know they don't have to fess up; we already know they did it, and that's what counts. If they ever start getting serious, it will be because the have the backing of the PRC.... or deployable nukes. It really is some schoolyard bullshit.
  22. Hanging out in dumpsters and letting bums sit on your face is no way to go through life, son.
  23. Hot naked (crazy) woman jumps on the roof of your car, what do you do? Possible NSFW pics.
  24. It's a Buick under there!? http://onyxsyndicate.com/newman/MISC/carlisle2010/carlisle2010261.jpg
