  2. Well, I'm late, but if you still need one you can borrow mine.

    RIP TransAm

    Sorry to hear about your car - but if you want a Vette, I'll make you a helluva deal on mine.
  4. There's no room for posers here; they live their lives a quarter mile at a time. Running across the hoods of police cruisers = :gay: and asking to go to jail Cobra factory speed limiter = :gay: "Don't come up to my fuckin' car sayin' shit about my car, bitch!" = :gay: Two minivans nose to nose in a burnout contest = teh win.
  5. We did that first. They only deal with stray dogs, they referred us to the capital area humane society... who won't come and get them, but will take them if I bring them in. They normally have a 30 day waiting list to surrender a cat, but there is currently no wait.
  6. I wish it were that easy; We own our home, and it's not in a subdivision. There's no one I could complain to. I don't want to hurt them, but they need to go.
  7. Okay, here goes. My neighbor (who I've known for years) has always fed stray cats in our cul-de-sac, and it never bothered me until now. It has become a problem. I can't walk through my yard without stepping in cat shit. They crawl on the cars that sit outside, they spray around my door, windows, etc. Now that it's gotten warmer, the smell is almost unbearable. There are 11 of them as we speak, and two are pregnant and due any day now. They fight, howl, fuck, scratch, and shit and roll around in it. Don't get me wrong, I love cats. I have one. But this is unreasonable; what should I do? Another neighbor approached her last year about them, and her response was that she didn't care, she'd continue putting out food until more showed up. I don't particularly want to make her angry, but it's un-neighborly and inconsiderate to expect everyone else to put up with it. Animal control won't do anything about them, because they're not dogs. The Humane society will take them, but I have to gather them up and take them in. Almost any suggestions are appreciated, except putting out antifreeze/poison/whatever to kill them.
  8. 270 was what we originally agreed to. On a lighter note, (and since we're all talking shit) how about this: 1) You give me the parts that would have fallen off/broken/imploded/exploded/etc. should you have attempted 180 MPH 2) I sell them on Ebay and keep the proceeds. 3) I give you $100 and tell everyone I lost the bet.
  9. Actually, we're waiting for you too; April 1st has come and gone, my friend. http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/showthread.php?t=23574
  10. Are you talking about Brooke Mossgrove?

    This is bull

    Okay, for those that don't know exit numbers and state route numbers, I'm pretty sure RT 95 and RT 314 meet in Chesterville, which is about 15 miles NW of Mount Vernon and maybe 10 miles south of Mount Gilead.
  12. If not, better get cracking... only a few hours left. Jew love to all for Passover.

    New paint

    Two things that don't go together when dealing with paint work. Anyways, Rolla is your guy... ridenred27 on here.
  14. Yeah, I know. It's just that I'm not very patient, and the results of anything that I do requiring patience are less than stellar. And I am keeping the yellow.
  15. Anyone here polish wheels, or know where to have it done? I am looking to have a set of these polished... (Yes, the centers can be polished) Thanks in advance! http://www.wheelcollision.com/wccpix/1606lyellow.JPG
  16. The following is not meant to belittle you, or your opinion... At what cost should we do this? As an econ major, I'm sure you understand the ramifications of what you've suggested. Spending millions (if not billions) of dollars in order to hire and train many additional Border patrol officers, seeking out and deporting the current illegal immigrants, etc. The government is suggesting that rather than spend a fortune to do it, that we grant them amnesty and collect their tax money; turning them from a "liability" into an "asset". 11 million unemployed Americans. I'm not comfortable with that, nor should you be. However, a fair percentage of those are unemployed by choice. Someone that lost a $40K a year job doesn't want to flip burgers, and I understand that. No one felt bad for me when I was unemployed, and you know what? I still didn't go to work at McDonald's. I collected my unemployment check (which isn't available to illegals, by the way) until I found a suitable position. It is illegal to flick cigarette butts out the window. It's illegal to change lanes without a signal. There's tons of things that are illegal, but we don't have the manpower to enforce the law. Not saying it's right, but what would you do to feed your family? I think I touched on number 6 in my earlier post... you're right. No excuses, that's true. But my point is, we can't stop them. No matter what we do, it isn't going to stop them from coming in. They'll find a way... people are awfully crafty.
  17. I'm sure we're all interested in hearing why this bothers you. We already educate and care for the incarcerated (including those who will never be released back into society), pay for groceries and rent for those who do nothing to contribute to their community, and give medical care to those who cannot afford to pay for it.. even though you and I have to. This bill certainly does not benefit the illegals in any way other than permitting them to exist here. Sure, I believe that they should obtain entry legally, through the processes that we have in place; but let's be realistic. We're never going to stop the illegals from swimming here. That being said, what's the problem? I'm sure we'd all be angry if one hit our car, and we had to pay for the damage because they were uninsured. Guess why they are? No license, no social security number, no insurance. What entitles the rest of us to the liberties we have grown accustomed to? The fact we were born here? Just because you were born here doesn't mean you deserve anything. How can you begrudge another human being rights that we expect, when we didn't do anything for it? Some of these people live with ten or more people in a small apartment so they can save money and send what they make home. How many of us have the guts to run off to a country where we don't speak the language, room with people we don't know, and send our money home; all without a military uniform? Point is, these people spend money that is the same color as yours. They buy clothes, cars, food, televisions, and everything that you and I do. Let me review this.... They work jobs that we don't want. They spend money in our communities. We don't provide them with the public assistance that we give away to everyone who doesn't make an attempt to work. We're offering them a chance to legally stay here, although they don't have the same rights as we do. Federal labor laws are out the window, including wage laws, and we're still going to take their tax money... which is the same as yours. I can't believe anyone could believe that we are getting the raw end of this deal. Oh, and about NAFTA... does anyone realize that this didn't make Canada or Mexico rich? Quite the contrary, actually. The agricultural subsidies that our government pays our farmers makes it all but impossible for anyone else to compete price-wise, driving labor wages down, and causing guess what? More people jumping fences and swimming across rivers. I believe the American farmer is entitled to and deserves this help, don't get me wrong; but if the Mexicans made enough money in Mexico, they wouldn't come here. Alas, instead of pumping money into their economy like we're doing in Iraq, we exploit this and pay them nothing. Why? Iraq has something we want. Mexico doesn't. Since our government thinks it's our place to "infuse" America into other countries (only if they have something we can steal) let them do it for everyone. If jobs in India and Mexico didn't pay less, no American companies would be clamoring to send jobs overseas. We have to fix the real problem - that's something we're just not prepared/interested in doing. /end rant Now, for the disclaimer. I don't agree with this bill, not in the least. I think it's another way for our government to keep the poor and disadvantaged that way, and make the rich richer. I also don't agree that we should just open the floodgates and allow everyone in. But I will never condone turning people away who wish us no harm; whose only motivation is to enjoy the livelihood and freedoms that we do because we were fortunate enough to be born here. I'm sure people will disagree with me, and that's okay. You are entitled to an opinion, and so am I. After all, this is America... land of the free.
  18. He is surely a liar; Mustangs never lose.
  19. Keeping that pimp hand strong... Bwahahahaha!!!
  20. My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl that saw Eric pass out at 31 flavors last night... I guess it's pretty serious.
  21. We can take it out the same way we took the engine out of your CRX...
  22. Thanks for the responses, guys. After pissing with this for about an hour, (and some help from Microsoft.com's support section) I got it working properly with WEP enabled. I enabled it on the router, but couldn't get the laptop to connect... turns out the problem was with the "Wireless Zero configuration service". Turned it on automatic, put in my network key, all was well. Thanks again.
  23. I have a wireless router set up on my desktop PC, and I use my laptop to connect to it. Now, today I've noticed some random penis (presumably a neighbor) is connecting to my home network. I have changed the "administrator" password to the router, but it doesn't ask me for it when I connect using the laptop or a palm pilot, so I don't think that has anything to do with it. The only option this "Network Magic" program gives me is to track that computer as an intruder... but not to disallow access. My point is, can they send information with an IP address that will come back to me over the internet? Most of my desktop computer is shared, can they check out my pr0n? I spent a lot of time collecting it, and I don't want to share. Thanks in advance!
  24. The V12 XJ-S came from the factory (1978-1992 I think) with a GM Turbo Hydramatic 400. Kicker was, the case was Jaguar specific, and would not bolt up to the 4.0 or 4.2 inline six, nor a SBC... which is a common swap in these cars. I had a later model one, and I wish I had the spare cash to take this one off your hands; it's beautiful. P.S. I love the color.
