  1. Glad your house made it ok. My wife works with quite a few people that live in that same housing addtion and some not very far from there too.
  2. I have been a Mopar fan most of my life. I loved all the Jeeps I have owned and I love our 09 Dodge Ram. Of all their new vehicles, the best has to be the 2011 Grand Cherokee. I have test drove a couple and just love them. I hope to pick up an Overland model here in a few years.
  3. I have been to Oglebay many times over the years and each year it has got worst. Unless they have dumped some money into the lights display, they haven't changed in close to 30 years other than when a set stops working and then they just don't light that set up. The only good that ever came from that was the great chances to get head from your woman as you are crawling around through the park.
  4. I have a coleman one that I have had for probably 9 years. It normally makes it through a weekend of camping with only the original fill up of air. It is just a little low after the first night, but I normally don't bother to top it back up. If I stay longer than that or had a rough day hiking, I will top it off before going to bed the 2nd night.

    New Car!

    Congrats, the new Sonata is a pretty nice looking car.
  6. After I moved and my license didn't match my current address, I just brought in my vehicle registration paperwork and Vance's had no problem with it. They also told me a voter's registration card with the new address would work too.
  7. Picking my copy up around 3:30, then bye bye for the rest of this week and weekend.
  8. And that is another reason I would never get one of those. I am a diehard Jeep fan and I would never put anything but a Mopar engine in any of my Jeeps. Yes I know through out Jeep's history, just about every domestic auto maker put parts in the Jeep, but I like to keep it Mopar.
  9. Nice looking 2g Stratus. I sold my 2003 Stratus Coupe SXT with the 2.4L, 68,000 miles, for $6.5K last year. Just throwing that out there.
  10. That price is a little crazy. I have always wanted to pick up an old CJ7 and build my own open top. And I am sure I could build one just as good if not better than those and way less than $90K.

    DVD Rip

    I use to make legal back ups of my DVD's and when I did, I would use DVDShrink and then either DVDFab or DVD Decrypter. Much better than Nero and those programs can help you get around different security on DVD's

    Bummer

    It is sad to hear, but it was expected by this point. Hopefully justice will be handed down to this guy.
  13. Just like any person, you are required to secure your load on your vehicle. Those signs do not legally protect them at all. You can sue them and as long as you have evidence, you will win. I had my windshield taken out by a rock from a Redskin Trucking Dump truck when I was in high school. I got the truck drivers license plate number. Called the office and after some fighting, they ended up paying to replace my windshield.
  14. With a rusty shank! I will be surprised if he makes it to his sentencing hearing.
  15. I heard about the wide load holding up traffic through town and out of town. Never said what it was until I read this. That would have been a cool site to see.
  16. I am going to wait awhile and pick it up used in a few months. I always liked the Need for Speed games and the older ones were great. I had the original "Hot Pursuit" and loved it.
  17. I would be willing to try the new door before taking it to anyone else to look at.
  18. Same thing I was thinking.
  19. Not that I am complaining, but a Wednesday?
  20. ROFLOL that is great But wow that is crazy news.
  21. Yeah I read about that this during my lunch hour...Don't know how much I like it, but if they want California, we might be willing to let them have it. LOL
  22. I really hope so. I have been thinking of switching back to TW just because they have a lot more HD channels than the 45 I get now. Now most of the channels I watch regularly are in HD, but still the few that are not suck when I have to watch them.
  23. I am going to be another vote for a Jeep. I am not a big fan of the 1st generation Liberties. The 3.7L is a big dog. Seems like it has much less power than the 4.0L. Interior is pretty basic. I hate where the window controls are. The newer Liberties are much nicer, but may be out of your price range. I am a big fan of the Grand Cherokees. I have a 2001 Laredo with the 4.0L that I picked up about a 1.5 years ago. I got it for $5K with 111K miles. Only thing I have replaced on it since then are maintenance items, brakes, battery, alternator. Common problem with the WJ (99-04) is the fan relay for the aux fan goes out a lot. Easy to replace once you have done it once and you cut the panel. Normally you notice it in the summer when you have the ac on and sitting in traffic. The aux fan won't spin up faster to help cool down the engine, or it stays on high all the time. Other common problem is only on the Limited models, the blend door for the heating system will stick closed. Many write ups on how to fix this. As for engine, I love the 4.0L but since I went to a little larger tires, I wish I had the 4.7L. Gas mileage is not that different between the 2 engines. Only thing is the 4.7L normally comes with the full time 4x4 system. I love having the selectable 4x4 system on mine so I can run in 2wd and then pop it into part time 4x4, locked high or locked low if I need it. I have also been looking at a few newer Grand Cherokee's (WK 05-10). They are a much nicer ride than the WJ and have a lot more options for the interior, but they are probably going to be a bit out of your price range.
