  4. we've been here the same amount of time....try not to get jaded. Its nothing personal.
  5. my friendly suggestions are consistency in dealing with infractions and a more laissez faire attitude. In my personal experience, the more you try and control mundane situations the more people resent and rebel. now mods trolling gabe and him being a pissy about an infraction is hilarious. espeshly when he wasnt trolling. It one thing if you need to intervene with physical threats or what ever legit problems you've had to deal with before on CR...but let the other stuff slide. instead of editing peoples posts just explain to the newbie that hes going to get some friendly hazing and to not take it seriously.
  6. and yet it continues to be a problem. The obviously appropriate thing to do it keep ignoring it and then bitch about when the unresolved problem rears up...again...and again.
  7. So because some one is old and cunpurtre elitterate means we cant bust his balls a little for being from WV? I think what people are complwining about is the inconsistency of what is and what isn't acceptable. He's old, can't post pics. That's ok, I get it. It's really no big deal. But he's still from the only state that gives KY a run for its wellfare check in the sister fucking category. If he's a car guy and has been around for 50 plus years I'm sure he's heard some inbreeding jokes before.
  8. If you cant fit in here dont count it as a bad thing. welcome.
  9. damn bruh bruh im hiting up sushi bars in hilliard for mah b day. The saki is flowing already and im not driving! tmr?
  10. Ok i got it for Christmas and have even opened it up. not like i have to tell you, but its one of the best games out right now and is certainly the best racing game currently on the market. 45 sounds fair since it going for 50 online and 60 in the stores. its for xbox360
  11. i heard if you have a structured settlement and you need cash now call J G wentworth
  12. ps, we did all the vinyl on our track cars, so im not talking out of my ass. this link is a good guide with step by step instructions and mirrors how we did it. http://www.vinyl-decals.com/Vinyl-application/index.html the above mentioned methods should ensure no bubbles, but if you do get one just pop them with the tip of an excto knife and smooth it out. good luck. post pics when you're done.
  13. Its not hard. make sure you spray the surface down with soapy water from a squirt bottle and then squeegy the water out from underneath with either a credit card or you can buy a "vinyl squeegee" specifically made for that purpose at any art supply store. its like 5 bucks and keeps you from fucking up your diners club status.
  14. yea you really dont hear about people modding Ferrari's often compared to other super cars. lambo's and Mercedes seem to get the majority of attention. With all crazy amount of technology in Ferrari's, im not surprised.
  15. meh.... http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970204616504577171031057829416.html?mod=WSJ_Autos_AutoIndustry3 GM's 2011 Auto Sales Spark Feud Over Count By MIKE RAMSEY General Motors Co. on Thursday reported 2011 sales that appeared to show it once again seized the title of world's largest auto maker by volume, eclipsing Volkswagen AG and setting off another auto-industry dust-up over how to count affiliate sales. GM, which held the spot for almost eight decades before being dethroned by Toyota Motor Corp. in 2008, on Thursday disclosed it sold a bit more than nine million cars and trucks worldwide last year, a 7.6% rise over 2010. That would put it ahead of VW, which recently reported global sales totaled 8.16 million vehicles last year. But shortly after GM's disclosure, Volkswagen argued it, in fact, was the top-seller last year if sales of its affiliates are included. Volkswagen's figures don't include the contributions of majority-ownership stakes in truck makers MAN SE and Scania AB, which will be added in a few weeks, a Volkswagen spokesman said. The truck makers might add 200,000 vehicles to VW's sales total. Enlarge Image Reuters The Toyota logo is shown on the front of a Prius Hybrid vehicle. GM's rivals also point out that the big U.S. auto maker's numbers are boosted by ownership stakes in China's SAIC Motor Corp. and Liuzhou Wuling Motors Co. While SAIC builds GM cars in China, Wuling's 1.2 million vehicles last year are mostly cheap commercial vehicles used only in China. A GM spokesman said the company no longer focuses on being the world's largest auto maker. "Our goal is to be the best, not necessarily the biggest," said Jim Cain, a spokesman for GM. "If we had announced plans on world domination, we probably would have been quibbling with the sales of our competitors and that's as far removed from focusing on the customers as you can get." Some analysts prefer not to count the Wuling vehicles in GM's global total because GM doesn't have a controlling stake in its partner. "We have to draw the line somewhere and this at least gives us some consistency around the globe," said Jeff Schuster, an analyst with forecasting firm LMC Automotive. The tiff over global sales has parallels to a similar one earlier this month when BMW AG and Daimler AG's Mercedes-Benz delayed reporting their U.S. sales by a day, each hoping to beat out the other for the title of America's top-selling luxury brand. BMW won by a nose. Who is No. 1 and No. 2 globally isn't the industry's only unanswered question. Toyota appears to have dropped to fourth in the world behind the alliance of France's Renault SA and Nissan Motor Co., as long as you accept the alliance's counting methodology. Nissan-Renault, which essentially operate as a single company and are run by one chief executive, said they sold 8.03 million vehicles in 2011. That includes 638,000 vehicles sold by Russia's AvtoVAZ OAO, in which Renault holds a 25% stake. The alliance has signaled its intention to increase its ownership to 50%, but hasn't done it yet. Toyota, meanwhile, said in December it expects 2011 sales to be around 7.91 million, down 6%, but it hasn't released official figures yet. Japan's largest auto maker was slowed because the March 11 earthquake and tsunami in Japan forced the company to cut global production and curtailed sales at home and abroad. In Japan, Toyota's domestic sales dropped 26.8% in 2011, a big contributor to its fall in the global rankings. The Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association recently forecast motor vehicle sales will rise 19% this year, to about five million cars, trucks and buses. That would be about the same as in 2008, before the global financial crisis hurt economies around the world but is still below the level of 5.7 million to 5.9 million reached in the early 2000s. While the rankings are mostly about bragging rights, the accounting methods has become a near annual scuffle as the competition between the top several auto makers increases. Whether to count the sales from affiliate auto makers is a point of contention. Volkswagen has stated an intention to sell 10 million vehicles a year by 2018. Rebecca Lindland, a senior analyst at IHS Automotive Consulting, said there is no clear guideline for what to count and what not to count, creating a headache for firms like hers. "It's sort of like when you have a lot of step-brothers and sisters and someone asks you how many siblings you have," she said. "It hasn't worked out so great for the last couple who have been number one." Ms. Lindland said she was involved in an internal discussion lasting more than an hour about whether to combine Chrysler Group LLC's figures with Fiat SpA. "It's very annoying, and it's also meaningless. The important thing is whether they are making money." Eventually IHS did combine the two, she said.
  16. Imma hire him to do my lawn care. A lot more entertaining than the mexicans who do eett now
  17. Long stroy short a friend got a house that had been smoked in since it was built in the 1200. Oddly enough he got it since sh(former owner)e died of lung CA. Either way cleaning companies specialize in the shit. He priced q couple places, they came out and cleaned everything. Walls, vents, hvac, everything and now you can't tell AT ALL it had been smoked in. Of course you'll have to factor this into the price or negotiate it into the contract
  18. I'm surprised there isnt anyone on here who can do it. From what i know it looks like a simple job.
  19. take a trip to mexico, visit an el plastic surgeono and take care of that ginger issue for good.
