  1. wonder if they made this descision based on focus groups, too. graemlins/nonono.gif
  2. They are cutting jobs because there are too many people up top making too damn much money and they'll be damned if they give up a peice of their pie to save the job of a 20 year veteran. The CEO sucks at his job and still brought in $4.66 mil last year, plus 6 figure bonuses. Cut his salary by 75% and his ass still aint starving.
  3. Its a possibility. tongue.gif I was just amazed at the existense of the wee transmission. I wonder if it can be used for shifter carts? Anyways, anyone want to hit the trail thursday (if weather holds)? Phase 1 is on Lewis Center Rd., about half mile east of Africa Rd.
  4. omfghi2u. My car will defeat yours in an epic battle for the ages, now and forever.
  5. Please do CART fans a favor and NEVER watch Driven. graemlins/nonono.gif Not an automotive movie, its a detective flick with a famous car chase. Steve maquene is in other good motoring flicks like Le Mans, and a breef feature in the Bruce Brown flick, On Any Sunday. This is a good period peice from back in the day, see also The Speed Merchants. For a bad movie, Deathrace 2000. graemlins/thumb.gif For a more contemporary influence, seek ye Initial D. White Zombie's "Black Sunshine" is a sweet song, despite being about a mustang.
  6. wow, they know how to make a proffit. Per Top Gear: "Prices start at just under £20,000", that $35,000. I'll learn right hand drive, thanks.
  7. my thigh is apparently growing me another cell phone. It's about the same size and shape, and hte same shade of dark blue. tongue.gif I'm ready to go again now, but it'd probablypiss off the woman. Cant be bailing immediately after work everyday, not showing up back home 'till 9. btw; wow, a transmission: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=98083&item=7160592610&rd=1 [ 07.

  8. As a 3rd party reader, I didn't get the impression that it was. Fear not DJ, no one who knows you would think that of you. Hell, you tollerate us.
  9. one last off topic; You mean your canadian truck sold as part of chevies "American Revolution"? tongue.gif
  10. as a corperate entity, yep. But, 154,000 miles and counting, many thousand of which were driven at 10/10, and never needed anything...well, accept the transmission I destroyed, totaly my fault. tongue.gif Where as your RX7...... tongue.gif
  11. Way to pay attention cap'n. I cited those two specificaly becaus they are specificaly bullshit. I dint say the Bible in general was. King james commisioned the "revised translation" for a reason, and it wasn't for the good of man. It was deliberately mistranslated in many parts to better suit the way he wanted to rule. This is not speculation, this is documented fact, though not one you'll find in christian publications. And the book of Morman....c'mon, have you read it? If you want to beleive in them fine, nothing but love for ya. Just dont come to Geography class with a copy of Freidmans "The World is Flat" thinking you're going to prove something. So, if you don't follow the King James verison, or the book or Mormon, c'mon in, enjoy the conversation. graemlins/thumb.gif To say I "dont beleive in anything other then there is no god" is far from the truth. I beleive in alot of things, such as right and wrong, and the fact that they are not static and unchanging. I beleive in alot, but every one of my beliefs exists for a reason, not just "it was writen in this old book here". And for some reason, I still have faith in mankind. Everyone has the capacity for great good and great evil. most people act, thinking that they are doing some kind of good for some one, some where. Many have a misguided veiw. We all beleive different things. DJ knows I love'm, I love hearing him talk, and I'm wait in great anticipation for his responce to all this. You can only learn from talking to intellegent people. Sensless bable and arguing only makes you dumber. But hey, we're getting off topic here, back to Gays, Ford, and Christianity. smile.gif [ 07. June 2005, 01:18 PM: Message edited by: The Stig ]
  12. Born and raise Catholic, read the bible almost twice, then translated about half of it from latin. I've also got some of the Quaran and Tora under my belt. Some people just like being angry, they think it gives them purpose in life.
  13. I like the added high pivot points of the Fuels rear suspension. It lends some rigitity and stability. Jeffs bike looks ok, from that pic there appears to be some kind of swing link within the frame that helps tie things together. Thursday is a possibility for me. I rode pretty hard yesterday, and discovered a large, handlebar/phone shaped bruise in my thigh today. tongue.gif Phase one for me though. My endurance is fine, I just ran out of talent on phase 2. tongue.gif
  14. ya know, it's tiny enough to ship here on a 40ft boat (wouldn't want to take anything smaller across the Atlantic). You could probably break it down and air ship it for under 5 grand. If you ship it here separate from its motor, then install the motor in your garage, you can liscense it as a kit, much looser guidlines.
  15. you asked for it; So youfollow his words verbatum, such as; "thou shalt elect leaders to decide who lives and who dies" "if thou shalt feel threatened, feel free to kill whoever is threatening you, and I will sort them out." "I hate gays, women are inferior" "love thy fellow man, but only if they agree with you and your interpretation of what I say." "It's ok to do pretty much whatever you want, as long as you're sorry and worship my dad." "If some one leads a different lifestyle then you, kill them, shun them, do whatever you can to make their lives miserable...unless they convert, of course". "Spread my word, and kill anyone who doesn't like it" You and i both know Jesus never said, nor would ever say anthing like that. There's too many mother fuckers out there with "WWJD" on their fucking bracelets who have no fucking clue what J would D. Religion may not be about tolerance and love for your felow man, but but he was, dont metion the name Jesus in the same breath as organized religion. He tried to spread an idea, one that IMHO was a good one. He didn't want women having leadership roles in the church? Cracka, there WAS no church when he was around, and he actualy kept a few women close to him, and had no problem with them spreading his word. Dont say you follow his teachings verbatum, no one does. Almost 6 centuries past before they were even written down. And if you keep a copy of King James bible, or the book of moron...er, Morman, you are herby forbidden from any theological discussion untill you read somethig that's based some what on truth and is not a purposefull mistranslation or fabrication. Personaly, I dont beleive there is a god, so I obviously dont beleive Jesus was his son. But Jesus did exist, the Romans did crucify him (hooray Roman record keeping), and I for one beleive he was a good dude with a good message, minus the god parts. But hey, back then you had to tell people that if you wanted them to listen.
  16. ah, then these: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=15666&item=8196489799&rd=1 Plus, you can ask bitches if they want to try out your julbo's. graemlins/thumb.gif
  17. I hear it's the opiate of the masses. As for calling it bad buisness....Its ford, would you expect anything less? tongue.gif If they'd donated to the Bull Moose party, I bet there would be alot less bitching, you may have never heard about it.
  18. any impact straong enough to dent the steel pipe is going to go straight through the cardboard box. tongue.gif
  19. the difference between you and me....is about 40 lbs. tongue.gif A few spots on Phase 2 had me fearin' for my rims. I can get into a new Schwin with dual suspension and decent v brakes for under $300. It even comes ready for discs. More importantly, the shocks are adjustable. I'm more a fan of the rocker arm style rear suspensions, like this: http://www.u-rinkan.com/02trek/fuel100rear.jpg looks stronger, more stable, and a bit stiffer. Y framse just dont look stable.
  20. what is it made of? Why not wrap it with cardboard, then tape the ever living shit out of it
  21. they test well after the initial cryo treatment, but I haven't seen any data from parts that have been heat cycled, simulating the heating and cooling of a fuctioning engine.
