  1. hey, i live in german village too. if you ever need a hand with the bike/carbs whatever, let me know.
  2. as stated, price is the big one. it's cheaper for the shipper. another big advantage is that the USPS offers coverage to every residential address in the US, as well as PO boxes, APO, Alaska, Hawaii, Guam, Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands and all other US territories. fedex can not deliver to a POB or to an APO. they ship to guam, alaska, hawaii etc, but it costs an arm and a leg. from the seller's perspective, you dont want to give someone a reason NOT to buy from you. if you're joe customer from guam, and you get on my site and see i dont ship to guam (or i do ship there for $$$) thats a lost sale... another advantage is saturday delivery. the USPS brings your mail on saturday. standard fedex ground does not deliver on saturday. you CAN get sat delivery through fedex at an additional cost. tracking is included with smartpost at no additional charge. FYI after fedex hands the pkg off to your post office, you can track on the USPS site by putting 92 in front of the fedex tracking number. no residential surcharge either. FedEx has a surcharge of like $3.25 to deliver to a residential address. UPS is about the same last time i checked. USPS does not have this surcharge. fuel surcharges are still included, but they are drastically reduced. can be up to 50% in many cases. yes, transit times can be a little longer, due to the package being handed off to the USPS for final mile delivery... but if this was a truly time critical shipment, you would have picked 3 day or next day service.
  3. my cousin took three marijuanas and ODed and died. we also suspect he was sharing marijuana needles. good for them getting that dangerous weed off the streets!
  4. see username plz. i am dissapoint
  5. you can easily win, because its a total bullshit argument. just seems that no one apparently wants to call them on it. do they have any objective scientific evidence that having no front plate is somehow less safe than having two? or it just just based on their own anecdotal evidence? sure they will say, oh sometimes a hit and run gets solved because the front plate is left there. does anyone ask what percentage of total hit and runs are solved this way? probably 1% or less... they say no front plate will save the state at least a million per year. should we really be spending this money to solve 5 hit and runs? they will say, oh it makes it harder to identify when a criminal is driving towards you blah blah blah... MI, KY, WV, IN and PA don't require a front plate... so what happens there? are criminals just getting away with stuff everywhere? if the cops in those states can handle it, im sure the cops here can handle it. if not, then they are basically admitting that the police in every state where you only need one plate are better at their job than OSHP, and we KNOW that's not true. the REAL reason they dont want it to go away is because a) it gives them a reason to stop you when they have no other reason. b) it generates revenue for them. c) its a nice big laser target, which links to b - revenue generation.
  6. he isnt TRYING to ruin the floor. cats do not do things out of spite or revenge. just because humans act out of spite, people automatically assume that animals do too... they dont. they only react by instinct to the situations HUMANS put them in. there is either a) a medical problem like a UTI or something else, or b) he is scared to go in the room, and just can't hold it any more.
  7. ive never done a home built inspection, but have done a few salvage title inspections. i am fairly sure its the same inspection. for the salvage inspections they do not give a shit about safety or road worthiness. they do not really care about quality of workmanship either. that is not what they are inspecting. the inspection is to make sure that the parts/car are not stolen. http://statepatrol.ohio.gov/doc/Inspection_brochure.pdf
  8. so you put his litter box in a room that he is scared of, then you wonder why he pisses on the floor?
  9. increased patrols = increased revenue. its all about the benjamins.
  10. bump. make me an offer. i need to get these out of my garage.
  11. those pipes are nutso! ever get any flames shooting out of them?
  12. get a front bake on there so you can stop properly. other than that its pretty BA
  13. so i went ahead and ordered the weathertechs. should be here tomorrow.
