  1. It's probably an old rental apartment. Easier to slather on a coat of white paint over everything after each renter.
  2. I didn't think the X-Bow is legal in the US?
  3. Take KEYS, step outta the house. What's in the driveway?
  4. That's your fault for not scoping out the sections better. OR... Remind waiter/bartender what today is, and tell him what would REALLY go well with the steak, you h0m0...
  5. This is one wierd-a$$ room. And if Eli is my god in ANY world, I want off.
  6. If you're single, can you go to Outback by yourself and tell the waitress that you're here for... TODAY'S SPECIAL?!?!?!!1! :eek2:
  7. Not discounting your original goal of doing Pike's Peak, you're better off and cheaper option would be to build a Factory Five 818 and do Option 3. Probably cheaper in the long run than everything associated with Pike's Peak. Plus, you'd have a blast building the 818, and I'll bet you could sell it for a pretty penny once finished. Do it all over again...
  8. Actually have a house a couple of hours away from Bangor... http://www.woodlandpointemaine.com
  9. I'm interested in anyone with a CD player to boot. Please PM me what you have and how much you'd like for it...
  10. PHAKE. http://jalopnik.com/that-jeff-gordon-terrifying-a-car-salesman-pepsi-ad-is-453519481
  11. I agree with Jordan. Since 2008 - and with all the regulations since then - trading on margin is a more tightly regulated business. That being said, I have no doubt that people - mostly market-movers with a ton of dough - will ALWAYS find a way to game the system. BUT, I highly doubt that much margin is being used to fuel the market rise. As a former FINRA-license adviser, I can tell you of the $$$billions that are still sitting "on the sidelines" since the market crashed in '08/'09. If you had just a single-digit percentage gain of investments from savings, CDs, bonds back into the stock market, you'd see this sort of increase. Now...the bigger bubble I'd watch out for is the bond market. If stocks maintain this higher level through a few quarters, and people get dividends that pay better than 1.5%, then you may see a flight back into the market...
  12. FiL stopped there while MiL was at Costco and he was able to buy ammo...crowded but easy to get in/out.
  13. Technically, everything bought in $USD could be classified as a "debt-fueled bubble", funded primarily by China. Sad, but true.
  14. Is it worth possibly saving one child's life... If 30 other people die in their beds of a heart attack?!?? I will say as a weather junkie I think the emergency alerts ARE a good idea. Nothing like enjoying a nice afternoon by the pool, when all the parents' phones sound the alarm that there is a Tornado Watch for our area...don't tell ME you had no clue a storm was coming!!!
  15. Holy shit, Berto...awesome pics! :thumbup::thumbup: Did Cummins take you out to GB again?
  16. I watched that and I'm taken back to every cold morning when I'm starting up one of my Cleetii...

    Sinkholes

    In FL, at least: 1) Limestone bedrock 2) Rising sea level affecting water table 3) Limestone erosion from underground aquifers 4) SINKHOLE Anywhere else in the midwest, I blame FRACKING for introducing millions of gallons of pressurized water from hundreds of new wells to underground fault lines. Earfquakes/sinkholes FTL.
  20. I will admit to being an advocate for simple automotive transportation. Whilst admitting to being cheap, I prefer to consider myself an "old soul" who respects the earlier days of managing your vehicle's maintenance, and not expecting so much out of it. However, if you're implying that I care about other people's "hard-luck" situations personally. You assume FAR TOO MUCH...
  21. I am providing a valuable service to CR by considering all viable options in transportation. :thumbup: How many times do you see a "Need-Reliable-Car-For-$1k" threads? maybe people will see this thread and get a very functional ride. Keywords for searching: $1000, govdeals.com, cop, police-car, cheap, reliable.
  22. After watching a couple Hot Rod "ROADKILL" episodes on YouTube this past weekend, I was looking at used '02-'05 Crown Vics for sale. NOT SRS, just having fun. However, I noticed a couple of buy-here-pay-here dealers in Columbus (AutoTrader, Craigslist listings) that had multiple police-prepped Crown Vics (one had 4, the other had 10!) that were all around $3-5k and had 100-120k miles on them. Dealer/Auction guys...are ex-cop cars reeeeeeally that plentiful/cheap at auction? I'm guessing that these guys are buying them for a song, seeing as how they are presumably getting so many of them, and making money at $3k a pop... I said I wouldn't seriously buy one, but if a decently-maintained Crown Vic could be picked up for less than $2k...
  23. I think I passed you on E. Broad St around 11:15am this morning...
