    I liked beating on higher powered stick cars at Norwalk. It was fun. There was this NBM Trans Am I used to race a lot, he was a 6 speed running high 13's at like 135 while I was dipping into the 11's at 115.

    Oh don't worry, I don't think he's alone here. Most of them are smart enough to keep quiet though.

    Where is the helmet? Or should he wear one? I'm not really sure.
  5. I just set my laptop by the freezer, use a USB cord with a power supply, wrap everything up as well as possible in plastic wrap, then leave the hard drive in the freezer while I get the data off. After the data is off, who cares if it fries or fails again when it warms up. http://www.pimfg.com/ifaq/images/usb-ide40-power-1.jpg It's a pretty common trick really: http://www.churchvideo.co.uk/hardware/recover-a-clicking-hard-disk-drive-in-the-freezer_189.html http://brmlaptoprepair.blogspot.com/2009/04/hard-drive-recovery-freezer.html http://hacknmod.com/hack/how-to-recover-dead-hard-drive-data/ http://www.kempa.com/2006/10/02/adam-is-there-a-reason-your-laptop-is-in-the-fridge/

  7. I use a USB to Sata/IDE cable and a freezer. http://lifehacker.com/5515337/save-a-failed-hard-drive-in-your-freezer-redux
  8. I'm stuck with IE for work websites, but for anything else I use firefox. Many of the work sites fail to render properly in firefox, but work fine in IE.
  9. I still say if he insists on trying to fly in that thing, it needs moar wing.....

  11. When I was in Dayton and we got that 24" or whatever dumped on us, I was in the WalMart lot doing donuts like crazy in my my old Ford Bronco II when I saw the red/blue's flashing and a spotlight hitting me. I stopped to see an officer waving the angry finger and motioning for me to "get over here". I thought, great....... I drove over there and saw two cruisers parked door to door like they were BS'ing and one of the officers was out approaching me. I stopped and and the conversation went like this: Officer #1 - "Having fun over there?" Me - "Yup, just messing around. Didn't think it would be a big deal in this large empty lot with nothing around." Officer #1 - "Well, you really shouldn't be doing that. I could write you a ticket ya know." Me - "Sorry sir, if you let me go, you'll not see me around doing anything similar again." At this time Officer #2 approaches my truck somewhat swiftly and I get a little nervous. Officer #2 - "Can you just pull us the hell out of here already, we're STUCK! Don't let him scare you!!" Me - "No problem sir, I got a tow strap in the back. It's already hooked to my hitch as i've been pulling people out since this started." I hop out, wrap my tow strap around the bull bar on #2's cruiser and drag him across the lot, out to the main street where it's somewhat clear and unhook him. He thanks me and heads off. I return and repeat the process for #1 but when we hit the clearing he hops out before I can and he hands me a piece of paper. I think SHIT! STILL A FUCKING TICKET! He smirks as he drives away.... I hop in my truck and look, it was a blank sheet of paper with "Keep your nose clean Mr. Gill" written on it with my address and his card. Turns out, he was my neighbor a street or so back and he knew who I was already. He stopped by a few days after and we talked for a bit, he let me know where he lived and overall seemed to be a great guy.
  12. That's exactly what I was looking for, thanks. I was working with a guy in PA and he insisted we couldn't do a FTF but I thought that was handgun only.
  13. I typically do all my shopping online also, for mostly the same reasons. However, in a pinch, I battle my way to the counter so I get what I need quickly. I also REALLY like the online ordering and in store pickup that way all I have to to is go get it, no need to fuss with the counter monkeys.
  14. I got the angry finger point by a cop doing a few donuts in the parking lot earlier today.
  15. So FTF is ok for in state only right? Can't cross state lines for handguns, rifles MAY be ok depending on the state?
  16. Price and availability. I usually know what I want and rather than deal with the screen monkeys I get the part number myself and give it to them so I get exactly what I want. Otherwise they sort through screen after screen guessing and I get agitated then leave.
  17. repost.... http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1646946&postcount=3
  18. Dunno what that means, but I do know when you go in for negotiations you ask for everything knowing you will have to compromise. I asked the wife if I could spend $120k on a Corvette ZR1 knowing she'd say "hell no" when in all reality I was angling for a nice $80k Corvette Z06. We all know I ended up with neither though....
  19. It looks like they are looking for a generalization so the swath is nice and wide. That allows them to pick and choose at will what they want to be banned or controlled. It's easier to throw a HUGE net fishing than one line.
  20. While we were out for lunch today, the waitress mentioned something about it. Then the table behind us began discussing it as well. It was almost as annoying as hearing OH-IO during football season.
