  1. That intersection is pretty famous in the "dumbass tries to do a burnout, crashes into innocent family vehicle in the opposite lane" video world.
  2. I'd offer about 1500...you are going to be replacing the entire fuel system, every suspension bushing, and the entire brake system. EVERYTHING on that car is going to be dry-rotted to hell and gone. Somebody posted the "discovery" of the car...it had spent 23 years stored in a shipping container.
  3. It's an almost daily occurence in Germany...there were almost 2.8 MILLION tons of bombs dropped on Das Reich by the Allies...and some of the fuses used were NOT reliable. Most of the raids targeted industrial areas and city centers, which are the areas being redeveloped and built up now, leading to undetonated ordnance surfacing many years later. There are large areas in eastern France that are still considered unsafe due to undetonated artillery shells from WW1. In parts of the Ukraine and Belorussia, you can find ammunition, both fired and unfired, literally sitting on the surface after frost heaves it up.
  4. I've found plenty of bullets at the range that looked like they hadn't been fired, except for the rifling marks. Dry, loose soil seems to stop them this way sometimes, muddy soil almost always makes them expand or deform. If the bullet came out of the barrel, it'd have rifling marks, or it wouldn't be spinning... Now, here's the question: If the friction of the ice was great enough to stop the forward flight of the bullet, why wouldn't it stop the rotation? The rotational energy involved is MUCH less than the forward kinetic energy.
  5. That thing is a taxi in Mexico City, which means that isn't the ocean. But that lake is in MEXICO FUCKIN CITY...so salt water and sand are probably way less toxic and abrasive than the "liquid" that guy is rubbing on his paint.
  6. Purchase one of these: http://www.fatbraintoys.com/toy_companies/fascinations/top_secret_perpetual_spinning_top.cfm?source=thefind&utm_source=thefind&utm_medium=cse&utm_campaign=cse_October Turn it on, place it under the ice, scoop snow over it, drop copper-clad bullet on top of it. Profit.
  7. Do the remotes work through the keypad? It's an odd way of arranging things, but my parents opener is set up this way.
  8. The two shotties are useful for small game like rabbits, or pest control. The Winchester is a nice little rifle...
  9. There are some scenes on the 25th anniversary DVD.
  10. I think the SUV came out just a LITTLE better though...yay for pushbars!
  11. For model cars, go to Hobbyland...they are locally owned and operated. One store in Graceland, one on East Broad across from the old Kroger hangout.
  12. Denatured alcohol will get ANY foreign substance off of glass, and leaves no residue of its own. I work for a cabinet glass place, it's what we use to clean glass layers before lamination. It'll clean out most pores and holes too, but they'll fill back in within a few hours.
  13. I just went outside and checked for connections with my laptop...33 in range enough to detect, 14 unsecured...one of which has the same name as a computer repair shop nearby!
  14. All the issues I've heard of involving mechanical defects in Taurus products concerned their revolvers; I've yet to run into anyone who PERSONALLY experienced issues with their semi-autos. That said, Taurus has a well-earned reputation for absolute shitty-ness in customer service.
  15. How in the hell can someone be afraid of something they are 1,000,000 times larger than? I'll concede that wasps, some spiders, and fire ants can hurt or even kill you...but there are people cowering in fear from CATERPILLARS. I found a wooly-worm on break at work the other day, and one of the chicks actually ran back inside the building to get away from it. WTF produces that kind of mentality?
  16. They wrap a towel around the cat and one guy pulls down on it while the other makes the cut. It pulls the exhaust down against the rubber isolators in the hangers, and stops the cat itself from resonating. It's not as loud as you'd think anyway, especially if there are cars on both sides.
  17. Doc, do you have a reference you can point me at, youtube or something? It sounds SIMILAR, but I'm not hearing a particular match, do you have a specific point in the symphony in mind? To be honest, I was working through my Wagner, going "Damnit I KNOW I've heard this before, it's from that damn bombastic German composer"....wrong damn bombastic German composer? I keed, I keed...Beethoven was an awesome composer, his 9th and 5th Symphonies are BEYOND masterful...there are layers and layers of beauty happening in "Ode to Joy" that boggle the mind.
  18. I'm wondering about that too...but the Cizetas were utterly handbuilt, other than the body shell and drivetrain, each one is unique. I haven't seen one with exposed lights before...but I haven't seen an orange one before either. Check the bumper shape and the shape of the fog/turn lights, plus the angle of the hood. The Diablo is much more laid back.
  19. Ah ah ah, TWO of these things are not like the others...the car in front of the Audi isn't a Lambo either, although the design WAS from Marcello Gandini... It's a Cizeta-Moroder.
  20. Had a few pellets of hail in Galloway...pencil eraser sized, and not many of them.
  21. Jerry can for the win...I've got some Soviet ones that work very well.
  22. Those replacement buttplates do help, but you may want to re-evaluate how and where you are tucking that rifle to your shoulder. A lot of people who are used to AR platforms tend to not use the entire buttplate, just the bottom half...that's fine for .223/5.56 or even .308/7.62x51 in a semi-auto but you need as much contact area as possible with a full-size round in a bolt-action. AND they tend to position the butt closer to the neck, with a Mosin you need to be out over the muscle. You do have to lean your head more to get a cheek weld, but it won't hurt as much.
