"I" am very awesome compared to "THEM"... I can't account for the rest of you muhhafuggas. :gabe:

http://supersystems.itch.io/driftstagealpha You can thank me later. It's just the Alpha, but my "old soul" really loves a game I can jump into and play for 10-15minutes for fun.

1/7/15 Brian Jenkum 123 Eatass Lane Columberlington, OH 43210 Dear Brian, As an avid car enthusiast, I joined Columbus Racing more than 10 years ago to interact with a group of like-minded individuals who share my passion. Throughout the years, I made many new friends, and found Columbus Racing to be an indispensable resource in helping me grow throughout my own life. One of the most valuable sub-forums is the "LOL Thread", which encouraged contributors to post humorous videos and pictures found throughout the Internet. Given similar interests as other members, I found many posts to be very funny indeed; some members finding content that is far funnier than others. The purpose of this letter is to show my appreciation for the content you have posted over the last several years. Sometimes shocking, your posts never cease to get me thinking, laughing, or crying...and I've valued every piece you've shared with the rest of the forum. A heartfelt "thank you" from me for everything you've done, and I look forward to your continued contributions. Your sick humor is appreciated by many others as well, and Columbus Racing is a better place because of you. Kudos for a job well done, sir. Sincerely, Clay

Agree 100%. Lowered with an Xtreme package over that rough front bumper and that will be a great cruiser.

Brian with one hell of a poignant video reference for this thread topic.

I really like the current wheels. Get them refinished (possibly a new color if you want to switch it up) and be done with it.

Came in here to post this. If you're looking for a little more classic, right next door is Due Amici, also good. Big thing is they are easy walking distance from downtown E. Broad...it's f**king freezing here!

Hmmm...

<<< Not a gamer. Sounds like we're training a generation of American combatants to send over to Durkastan. You guys are all actually training for splinter cell ops!!!1!1

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geneva_Conventions Biggest problem the Western World has? We still operate under ^^^THIS^^^ while the terrorists hide behind civilians and their own family, throwing volley after volley against their foes in the name of religion. One possibility is privately-subsidized militias? US-based cells of fighters (think good ol' country boys) that are recruited through local VFW chapters/VA groups and conduct sweeps through foreign fighter territory. Think crowdsourced, Kelly's Heroes-type groups that take the fight back to native countries. Not US-government or NATO-sanctioned, but supported by the free world. Just spitballing here... I realize that certain governments don't like the idea of US (or UK, Australian, Russian, etc...) citizens running around their country firing at their own people, but apparently it's happening in Paris and in the US already. They can't control their own religious zealots? Eye for an eye...

It's difficult to conceive of a workable solution to dealing with religious-radical terrorism in today's politically correct society. I truly pray for a solution: pray for the victims, pray for the innocent family members of these nut-job terrorists, and pray for a swift and righteous retribution for their heinous acts.

I had an original, 1960s aluminum sliding glass door that also frosted on the inside of the glass during winter. The best thing I found was indeed a heavy curtain to cover the door, all the way to the floor. The floor register near the door remained unshrouded by the curtain. I can tell you that a new sliding door, wood with vinyl exterior, is about $1800 installed (I had 2 done). The house feels 10x warmer, and my energy bills are noticably lower. It's a good investment if the rest of your windows are all newer or high-quality.

Brian....what the fuck? http://cdn.makeagif.com/media/11-30-2013/GlTwCV.gif

Wasn't he at the Bethel Road store?

Well, I guess they aren't as bad as they were during the boom of '04-'07. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mercedes-Benz-200-Series-220SE-Cabriolet-1963-mercedes-benz-220-se-cabriolet-gorgeous-ca-w-111-w-/221653291035?forcerrptr=true&hash=item339b90d01b&item=221653291035&pt=US_Cars_Trucks They are de-rigueur for anyone wanting to show class in tony areas of the country.

http://carbuying.jalopnik.com/elios-ceo-explains-how-he-can-sell-an-84-mpg-car-for-6-1677743693/1677806819/+pgeorge This thing is still on death watch for me. Quite frankly, Paul's comments are silly. "We're not at 84mpg, kinda like 81.6mpg. And it's not $6,800, more like $7,300...or something. I don't know. We've only built one with a Geo Metro engine and it gets 27mpg." I still like the idea. I hear Alex above, but there isn't an enclosed trike option. Love the idea of a T-Rex, Slingshot, or Morgan 3-wheeler, but you couldn't use it as a daily driver.

For like $75k! :dumb: Gramps had a '66 220s fintail. That was - and probably still is - a tank. Almost bought one in '07 for $4k from California...wish I had. Old M-B prices be cray.

If you're a big dude, what about a Jaguar XJ6? I'd even look at something from the '80s (looks like the '60s/70s, but with updated mechanicals and access to parts) and you can swap in a Chevy 350 or an LSx... http://www.jaguarspecialties.com/XJ6C-P1.asp

Any thoughts on drilling a hole in the straight section of the aftermarket exhaust and adding a Helmholtz resonator?

Get the automated school-closed voice call at 5:45 this morning, and it looked like 3-4" of fluff in UA. Half hour to get to work where it normally takes 10-12 minutes. Not bad. Glad it was so cold that the snow hasn't yet melted and refreezed as a layer of ice on the roads. 315 was moving, albeit at 10mph. Made me glad I'm only on it for a few miles. Coworker came into the office from Powell at 9:30am...said it took her 2 hours. :dumb:

Wow. Props to them for accomodating employees if insurance didn't have that provision!

I've got a Magnaflow catback on my V (I know, not the same platform) and I will attest it's the best blend of sound and performance. At idle, a nice, quiet rumble, and WOT is great with zero drone. I've learned that a quality exhaust system is unobtrusive when you don't need it; cheap is loud, brappy and buzzy all the time and it's annoying. Check out this system, especially if you have a 7.5" lift. http://www.magnaflow.com/02product/shopexd.asp?zone=all&id=1955

UPDATE: After Derek's boys at Best One hooked Cleetus up with Firestone Winterforces, I'm very happy to report that snow tires are truly one of the best investments I've ever made from an automotive standpoint. With the few icy mornings we've had over the last couple of months, traction has been slippery but fine, when I've seen other cars and SUVs sideways on the road. This morning's snowfall brought some trepidation about driving Cleetus to work. However, with this light, fluffy snowfall, I had ZERO traction issues on unplowed sidestreets, and slippery highways. While I am cheap, I am also pragmatic...and my appreciation for the improved capabilities of my tee-ruk with snows is big right now. If you're reading this and you're concerned about your own vehicle's performance in this poor weather (and we all know this is just the beginning of a looooong winter!), PLEASE consider getting some snow tires right now. Don't look at some SUV for sale online; keep the car you have an enjoy, and get snows for the season!

I'm guessing $19k is out-of-pocket expenses after insurance coverage.
