+1. Is it free year-round?

LOL

Yup. Our 2010 EX-L has standard 16" tires. Michelin PAX tires were only from 2005-2007.

Every couple of days I read an article or hear a story, and I feel that the general public has it all wrong (which they normally do...stupid sheeple.) http://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/29/business/international/royal-dutch-shell-alaska-oil-exploration-halt.html?_r=0 Why are environmentalists "claiming a victory" and economists having a heart attack over this? I'm thinking of DJ (Orion) here, but if we're over-simplistic about Shell's decision it has everything to do with a decline in oil consumption but also a decline in prices - which many would say is temporary. Shell, BP, Chevron, Exxon-Mobil, etc...control A LOTTA OIL. They see prices go down, they shut down production. Oil is consumed globally - albeit at a lower rate than in previous decades, and the price goes back up to $75+ a barrel and Shell goes right back to drilling, and frackers gon' frack. I realize $7B is a huge nut even for Shell, but is the market NOT going to come back anyway? Will Shell and the rest of the oil industry not be back to business as usual in a few months?

That's the greatest-resolution phone video I've ever seen... and it was FUCKED UP BY FILMING VERTICALLY

Odizzle. 2008-2010. *Drops mic*

Lookin' good, Randy! Dem bias-ply tires doe...:fuckyeah: Make sure the rear tires are knobbier than the fronts!:thumbup: Maybe it's not worth a ton, but 5-windows are still more sought after than the traditional 3 window. Don't break those corner windows!

+1 fucking thousand. The less "Geneva Convention" matters in modern warfare, the more I want new tech put on A-10 Warthogs for close combat support. Next up, I want a turret-mounted rail-gun, mounted on the side of the airframe and operated remotely. A-10 goes all BRRRRRRRP on heavy equipment, then loiters around a hot zone, with a gunner firing at smaller targets using a "drone-like" interface at a remote command post.

OMG...I went to upload a pic on Imgur and saw one of the memes in this string. Being an A-10 Warthog lover, I f**king LOST IT at most of these...:lol: Enjoy! http://imgur.com/gallery/IHcov

Considering that up to a few months ago there was a Cadillac ELR at an Akron/Canton dealership for $30k off invoice (!!!), looks like moving new Volt/ELR's off the lot will continue to be a loss-leader for GM... EDIT #1: Here's a "NEW" 2014 ELR still for sale at a dealership in SC... http://www.kingflorencegm.com/VehicleDetails/new-2014-Cadillac-ELR-2dr_Cpe-Florence-SC/2221015883 EDIT #2: GEEBUS...here's THREE with $30k off in IL!!! http://www.grossingerautoplex.net/VehicleSearchResults?offer=44505970&search=new&year=2014&make=Cadillac&model=ELR&trim=all&cs:o=44505970 Poor GM...ELR's are like the hybrid version of a Buick Reatta or Cadillac Allante.

LOL...Hire Uber Luxe to drive you in a Bentley Flying Spur to Columbus Exotics...hang out in Byers parking lot...get driven home LIKE A BAUCE :fuckyeah:

I'm going to be in Hocking Hills...

Bringing this back from the dead... Uber looking for 10,000 more drivers in Columbus. I'm sure that will affect payout... http://www.bizjournals.com/columbus/news/2015/09/23/uber-doubling-up-in-ohio-with-push-for-10-000-more.html

LOL, reminded me of the time I was in FL, and there was a beautiful full moon rising at night. I went out my front door and took a couple steps to look at it. My right eye blacked out for a second and I stepped back so the moon came back into focus and I "WTF'd?"... Turn on the front porch light, and there was a HUGE spider that made the two posts around the front porch his web in a matter of a day. I literally took two steps out into the moonlit darkness and was so close to the web that he eclipsed the moon from my one eye. I didn't sleep well that night. http://weknowmemes.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/true-story-woody.jpg To wit: I do agree with the above comments. I HATE spiders when I find them in my house, but outside they are a welcome predator for bugs. I did destroy the web for the big spider in FL, and he scampered off. Got the idea, apparently...because I never saw him again.

Wes (TheMrWes) footed the CC&C.net vinyl stickers...I can text him to see who he used. They were produced lickety-split for cheap...

Glad Aaron's with the program. I read this over lunch to bring me up to speed... http://jalopnik.com/your-guide-to-dieselgate-volkswagens-diesel-cheating-c-1731857018 It's lulzy to me because I'm SURE there are other manufacturers trying the same trick...just haven't gotten caught yet.

It f**king beats dumping hundreds of dollars into a 250k-mile beater...plus, you can see on CL all the time that even if you wanted to bail on the "Winter 'Vette" plan in '16, getting rid of used snow tires is not an issue. Think about all the RWD Infiniti/BMW/Mercedes $30k-millionaires that get around relatively well in the winter... I love my beater tee-ruks, but there is a time when it's not worth it to get one repaired. Sounds like the S10 is done; time to drive the 'Vette more often and either keep driving it through the winter, or at least bide your time until you find a better winter beater in the next few months. TL;DR - don't feex the S10

Scott, crazy as it may sound...could you get some snow tires on the 'Vette? Back in the '00s I drove my '95 Corvette with Kumho Ecsta's in some really crappy winter weather. That was WITHOUT snows and lowered on wedges/lowering bolts. My FiL DD'd his '02 Z06 for years, albeit that was only about 5 miles on city streets... It can definitely be done...will keep the C5 running on a regular basis in the wintertime, and with a fiberglass/aluminum structure you don't have to worry too much about rust...

Scott, I had an excellent time last winter driving Cleetus with some Winterforce tires for snow/ice traction. Looking forward to using it as a snow DD when I can this coming season. My point in saying that is that now is a good time to look for a sub-$1500 2WD truck. The S10 has served you well...time to see if you can shave 100k miles off your beater for less money than the parts/labor to fix your S10.

A friend is clearing out her father's apt after he died. I am going to use Cleetus to help move furniture, but for the life of me I don't know what to do with dirty mattresses aside from SWACO. Is there any place (outside of a dumpster) that takes mattresses?

Staring at that bottle makes me thirsty... ...and I'm not a whiskey/bourbon fan.

I'm sure they were under a lot of pressure. Competing in their industry requires a lot of handling. This is just a bump in the road. I'm sure once they get a feel for the terrain it'll be smooth from there on out... :gabe:
