  1. If you knew what the fuck you were talking about, I'd take my belt off and make you my monkey. Now, be a good boy; shut the fuck up and let the big kids play.
  2. Need more input. Does it seem like a vacuum leak? Does it seem like it's flooded? Does it act differently depending on the throttle? How did it feel when you drove it? How do the plugs look? What was changed with the coolant leak?
  3. Mapes Farm on Lithopolis Road in Groveport.
  4. ConvertX to DVD is what I use. 2 step though, convert, then burn the conversion.
  5. It isn't really a "boxing movie", it's more of a drama with a little bit of boxing thrown in. Don't get me wrong, it's an excellent film, it just doesn't have the fighting that a lot of other boxing movies have.

    Favorite rootbeer?

    Barq's has caffeine.
  7. I think the VII is an unattractive car, but it is also a Fox body car. A lot of potential.

    Favorite rootbeer?

    I don't like to drink anything other than Barq's, BUT: Sprecher is delicious, and they use honey as a sweetener. They also have a low calorie root beer that is tolerable. If you haven't tried them, then you should. It is also $7 a 4 pack of bottles. I don't like the aftertaste of the root beer at the Elevator, but that's the only complaint I have.
  9. I bought it salvage, it is already ripped apart. It is a donor car for another project. It is also factory turbo.
  10. If I cared about the opinions on this board, I would not own my Boxster. So, I guess, even if no one knew, I would still drive my Boxster. Edit: After looking at my avatar and feeling SEXY, I will point out I also bought a Miata.
  11. "Perhaps this is an obvious point, but the democratic postulate is that the media are independent and committed to discovering and reporting the truth, and that they do not merely reflect the world as powerful groups wish it to be perceived. Leaders of the media claim that their news choices rest on unbiased professional and objective criteria, and they have support for this contention in the intellectual community. If, however, the powerful are able to fix the premises of discourse, to decide what the general populace is allowed to see, hear, and think about, and to “manage” public opinion by regular propaganda campaigns, the standard view of how the system works is at serious odds with reality." Divided into multiple, interlocking parts that themselves betray a lack of focus, Manufacturing Consent: Noam Chomsky and the Media opens with a vigorous examination of Chomsky's ideas about the mass media, “Thought Control in a Democratic Society.” Chomsky posits that the mainstream media shapes, defines, and controls public opinion, often by excluding, marginalizing, or otherwise dismissing dissent, all in service of political and corporate elites. For Chomsky, the generally held belief in the conventional role of the media, that of enabling the public to assert substantive control over the political process (based on the underlying assumption that representative democracies function best with a well-informed public, and therefore a free press unencumbered by government control or influence), is a false, misleading one. The mainstream media is driven by the pursuit of profit, is often owned and operated by corporations, and manipulated by their own desire for continued access to the corridors of power on the local, state, and national levels. The mainstream media sets the general agenda, selects the appropriate topics, determines emphasis and the framing of issues, as well as careful filtering of information and the “bounding” of debate, all in the service of dominant interest groups.
  12. I use AT&T, we have 4 tuners, two boxes, phone, and our speed is faster than Insight was. We get that package fort the same price we had Insight with one box and no phone.
