RIP Hilltop. Was my favorite summer beer. Unfortunately, we in the banking industry are seeing signs of saturation in the craft brewery and micro-distillery market. Not that there isn’t room for successful ventures; there’s just a lot of product and not a ton of increased demand. Great producers will survive, others will consolidate or close up.

That sucks. He was awesome at alignments on lowered cars. Any idea where he went?

There were a couple of mid-size trucks with flip out bars, which works for larger items but not good for carrying anything loose. I hear you on the longer bed. Fact is, the OEM's are making plenty of money on 5-seater tiny-bed trucks anyway. Step up to a CrewCab with an 8ft bed if you need it...the option's there. I like the idea of something that 95% of the time is smaller to drive/park when the bed is empty, yet can haul gear or mulch when the trip calls for it.

https://jalopnik.com/the-unibody-volkswagen-tarok-pickup-has-a-cool-extendab-1830279842 I see this article about the Volkswagen Tarok, lamenting the fact that it wouldn't be sold in the US for another 25 years. Then, as I'm reading, I'm disappointed that Jalopnik equates "extendable bed" to foldable mid-gate like the Subaru Baja and GM Avalanche/EXT's. IT'S BEEN DONE. Would be sweet if we could get a similar, light-duty unibody truck with a bed that could extend properly out the back. Like this: To a point where you could hold gravel/mulch or bulky yard waste without getting the interior dirty. Sure, there are complexities with manufacturing and crash-testing in the US. Just would be nice to see.

Cody is at the E.Broad Tire Discounters. I think the guy that operates the office is Kevin? Cody is a former CR guy and a good all-around car dude....if anyone might help it's that location. EDIT: Or maybe Lewis Center location? http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/showthread.php?t=129043&highlight=viper+balance

I really am trying to: 1) Help my fellow Republicans realize how kooky they've become with all that Hannity-jizm in their brains. 2) Understand where I may be misinterpreting the world around me. (that hasn't happened yet) Perception is reality. At 40, I've made smart life decisions (business/relationships) over the last 20 years during times when fear clouded people's minds...I'm seeing it again now. I know tomorrow is going to be great (no prepper guns/MREs needed) it's just not the way Tim, Brandon, and other dum-dums are thinking. Tried to add pro-science, pro-globalization economic and social-agenda thinking to the conservative side of the conversation and they apparently have more Trump-injected fear than I can attend to. Sad! Can't solve for everyone else so I'll continue doing what's best for myself, my family, my economics. :thumbup:

Dude STAHP with the Carousel-of-Tomorrow bullshit. We've been talking about that for YEARS and I'm still waiting for a teenager to get me my burrito at Taco Bell. OMG ILLEAGLE MOON CARAVAN I respect my friends that grew up in S. Africa, Zambia, Ghana, Somalia (all here in Columbus, BTW) and I will guarantee that a few "bad apples" aren't going to ruin The United States of America worse than lone-wolf gunmen with no cause and nothing to lose that we're growing right in our own American bad-apple orchard. Las Vegas shooter... Pittsburgh shooter... Kentucky shooter... S. Carolina shooter (Dylann Roof)... Denver movie-theater shooter... Columbine shooters... etc... etc...

I'm not happy with the caravan either. I'm just not xenophobic about it. It's ignorant and disappointing when others are. I can guarantee you and your wife's extended families came over on a boat and went through citizenship. A wall didn't stop them and it's not going to stop others. Tim, I share your respect for law and order. But the caravan isn't about that. I feel more sorry for any collateral damage that comes from militia engaging the caravan - as well as trespassing on Texas landowners - that exacerbates the situation. Fact is, Trump is doing a piss-poor job supporting the issues we elected him for (evidenced by the legal issues around him and the mass-exodus of his cabinet) and fearmongering is the lowest form of driving to action.

What anyone w/out a high-school degree would get: foodservice, custodial, agriculture, industrial/distribution. My employment is never a guarantee: I'll just never stoop as low as those who worry that someone traipsing across Mexico without U.S. citizenship is going to take it. You want to admit that you're scared of the caravan? Seriously, I want someone to tell me - intelligently - why I should be worried about the caravan. Trump creates enough problems for me to worry about. Try not to sound like you've been gurgling Sean Hannity. GO...

I saw that on Jalopnik. Rear bumper’s been repainted. Poverty interior. Dat price doe...6/10 would not bang. Just drove the Odizzle to Indy and back today for business meetings (wifey drove the V today)...still one of the best highway cruisers you can drive. Drop the hammer to pass on the right and no one expects the drop. Super comfy seats.

If you pay attention to the numbers around the Urus (and also the Cullinan), the performance specs of these high-end SUV's - laughable as it is that we've gotten to this place - is seriously impressive, on-road and off. That white looks impressive. I do actually love the lines and the accents are just excessive enough to know it's a Lamborghini. I like it better in CR-spec

Brandon, are the immigrants coming specifically for your guns and yer jerbs? Be Brandon: so concerned about immigrant caravan on Fox News that he didn't notice the white kid from across the street trying to steal his bike.

Camero.

LOL. Was going to post the same thing. Those rollers get it down the road ONLY...zero style points. I'm also bugged by the break in stripes at the front bumper under the (blech) front plate bracket and rear lower bumper. I am a big fan of the newer Mustang styling. They can Transformer-up the Camero as much as they can and it still looks like spaghetti-thrown-on-a-wall.

+100. Well said. Your situation really does suck, Mike, but you're in a tough spot unless you can appeal to the guys there. Be prepared to calmly explain the situation, and if they seem to understand and show some admission of guilt you can say how passionate you are about your car and just want to make things right with it. DO NOT make ANY sort of claim like "Maybe that was that way before"...just bring it to their attention and appeal for them to make it right. You'll have plenty of time to vent afterwards.

Maybe Urban's brain cyst is telling him to sandbag... WE'VE GOT THEM WHERE WE WANT THEM...

I do wish the GT350 was offered in a convertible. The Voodoo would sound amazing driving around with the top down. I know performance would be compromised but it would be a good trade off.

If you’re not impressed with the last 7 or so minutes, then there is no hope for you.

K.

$45k teeruk. $1500 exhaust. Lol.

Judging other people on their choices? Sit down, Mr. Moved-To-Alabama, before you hurt yourself.

If you want to go to the Early Voting Center on Morse Road, there are a lot of volunteers in the parking lot that would love to hand you info on whom to vote for.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-11-02/u-s-payrolls-rise-above-forecast-250-000-as-wage-gains-hit-3-1?srnd=premium Lookin' good for Trump and folks aligned to him on Tuesday...

The last article I posted shows that groups of the media have always gone against presidents in the past (there's part of the public balance in play, regardless of GOP/Dem Prez). Trump IS the first one in our lifetimes to openly declare the media as evil and "enemy of the people". We agree on this topic...but I didn't get it backwards. Trumps actions are stoking the fire to a level never seen before in modern history. It's going to leave the media irreparably damaged in reputation for generations to come.
