  1. Grandview has a couple of strips like that between King and 5th. There's one place that had an open office/warehouse spot by Romeo's Pizza. A little dirty and rough, but may fit your needs.
  2. I just watched "Expendables 3" on Netflix last night. I guess I'll watch anything as long as it's piped into my living room.

  5. Would you be interested in selling? I know a guy that might be interested...
  6. Came here to post what Tim is showing... Might be a good time to pick up a generator.
  7. To put it in layman's terms, a derecho is the equivalent of Mother Nature doing this to Columbus: http://insolenz.echoing.org/MK2/sprites/ryushinhad.gif
  8. Gotta love Aaron and the Jelly-'brella.
  9. This past week while I was in FL, I sold our 2000 Passat to CarMax. The guy there remarked at a 15 year old car that only had 1 owner...very rare in the used car industry as even the older man next to me was trading in a leased 2014 Stingray with 2,000 miles on it. But I digress... On Labor Day weekend in 2000, with only a couple thousand miles on the odometer, we were driving in Cleveland when a drunk lady plowed into the back of us on the highway. The Passat was amazingly solid, buckling the trunk almost up into the rear windscreen but I was still able to pull over and stop safely. It took Doersham's over 6 months and $9k (in 2000) to rebuild it and they did a great job. The Passat was traded in with 180k miles on the odometer and served us well. When the CarMax rep pulled the Experian history report, NO ACCIDENT RECORD came up. I thought this was odd, but since Caveat Emptor and I wanted as much out of CarMax as I could, I said nothing. Now, as I look at Audi V10 R8's on eBay, I'm now treating every "1 OWNER!!1!!!1" used car like a tainted chick: who's lying about never being hit? How much has our society come to rely on an electronic third party doing a flawed background search to determine a cars' "true" worth? Just sad how many stories we hear these days as car guys of people/shops scamming their way out of a bad CarFax check. Whatevs...
  10. Thanks, Trish! :thumbup::thumbup:
  11. I know they are a huge jump in price, but I drove a friend's Wrangler Rubicon and the thing was like no other wrangler I ever drove before. VERY nice, considering it's still waaaay more tee-ruk than you really ever need in a daily. I'd look at the Pentastar 3.6L Wranglers. Honestly, anything before that is an overpriced compromise to own a "Jeep". EDIT: Quick jaunt through eBay proves I'm right: 10+ year old Wrangler Rubicons are still $15k+ with over 100k miles. Only $10k more gets you a Mercedes-designed Wrangler that is a much better product with less than 45k miles on the clock. Not a bad jump.
  12. I'm just here to drink Pacifico and sit on the beach. You should thank me I know how to do imgur on my phone, let alone know how to resize. Storm's a-brewin' to the south...and I'm out of beer. Time to get the kiddos in soon...
  13. Gentlemen, D.Wiggs is shutting down CTD to avoid a pending lawsuit against the shop for shitty work. Pretty much that cut and dry. Anything he's doing in California is far enough away for me. I didn't care when he was in the north side of C'Bus...absence is definitely not going to make this heart grow fonder. http://s3media.247sports.com/Uploads/Assets/492/958/2958492.gif
  14. Posting this for a coworker and friend. This TrailBlazer has lived a very pampered, suburban life. http://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/detail/641505246/overview/ $6,995 asking. Let me know if the Contact page isn't getting you a response, as I can let the owners know you're interested. Thanks!
  15. Trade dat bish... STR8 UP
  16. I'm a fan of inverse ETFs. It's market swings like this where FAZ and SQQQ continue to lift my portfolio. Both up 4.75-5.5% today when the rest of the market is down 1.5%+
  17. Celebrating a happy 13 years of marriage, I went in to my doc this past winter to recommend an ENT for my horrible snoring, which as indicated from everyone else in this thread will inevitably get worse and worse as you get 1) older, 2) drunker, and 3) fatter. I could stand to lose 25lbs (6'0" 220lbs) but healthy for my age. Instead of the sleep study, I first did a home "bloodOx" test where they mail you one of those infra-red finger pulse thingies to keep score of your oxygen levels; makes sure you're still getting sufficient oxygen while you sleep. I wore it for 2 nights and it registered a 98% average for normal O2 saturation...no sleep apnea. Next, the ENT looked in my sinuses and throat. My tongue "looked like hamburger" all the way down my throat so no surgery there. I COULD get a uvulectomy to remove part of the soft palate but he said it would only help marginally. I ended up getting a Zyppah which holds my tongue from flapping down my throat, as well as locates my lower jaw while I sleep so it doesn't block my airway. I also lost 15 lbs from the winter which helps. When I drink a lot my wife says my snoring still comes in without the Zyppah but overall it's much better. YMMV, but the CPAP is a last ditch option in my mind.
  18. You and I already know that...just like you also know I'm referring to the ATS-V.
  19. At least Cadillac still makes 400+hp cars with manual transmissions. :gabe:
  20. http://i.imgur.com/pfbtgL4.jpg Big thanks to Wes (TheMrWes) and Kerry (Geeto67) for numerous nights helping me tune up and polish the Caddilier. Made the trip to the Smoky Mountains in GA and then 85+mph on I-95 through FL flawlessly. Passat (background) is going to CarMax Naples in the morning for sale. She's been a good car. I continue to appreciate the assistance guys on CR provide. Thanks everyone! :thumbup:
  21. Hey, guys...driving down to GA now but we figured out the generator need. Thank you all! we were the BEARS Preschool float...near the front of the parade. Great time!!!
