If that was your Jeep, you'd be a dumb-ass for entering it in a no-holds-barred demo race, now wouldn't you? If he read the liability waiver and rules of the race that the track requires entrants to sign before they can go on the surface, then he knew the risks...if he DIDN'T read them, tough fucking luck. Insurance probably covered it, but I'll take LONG odds that he lied to them about how the damage was done.

You're thinking of the Texas civil code section that defines their "No-CCW" signage. Texas requires a specific size and format for the sign. BTW It's actually 30.06, not 30.30, but that's okay...both are effective for deer!

103.2 FM, huh?

Huh, I think that was in Mini-Truckin' magazine as a 4-page feature. I may actually still have that issue in my parent's basement, come to think of it.

I'll be impressed with an Iphone when you can actually understand what somebody is saying into it. Seriously, I hate getting calls from people with those things, they pick up so much background noise.

Seen that one before, and it's INSANE: the block split at the crank, spit the top half over the side, and the bottom half dropped down, leaving the crank, rods, and pistons still in place.

The cable thing is pretty much universal for minis and trucks from all the manufacturers. Having the spare hanging there catching all the road grime and salt and water spray is pretty much a guarantee that corrosion is going to get at the wheel and the attachment to the frame.

Looks like he had forklift wheels and tires on there for the burnouts. You can get smoke from them REALLY easily. Ask my boss how I know that...

I'm pretty sure I can find 45-50 like-minded folks.....

Those little derringers are usually difficult to get an idea of age without a manufacturer name and a serial number. Some of the manufacturers started production in the 20s and continued on up through the present day without making real changes, maybe different grips, but those are not really an indicator of when it was built. Could well be pre-WW2, they were fairly popular in Europe and America in that period. You can check if it's loaded using a thin wooden dowel. The barrels probably extend about 1/8 into the body of the gun, so just hold a wood dowel beside the barrel and mark where the end of the barrels are. Insert it into the barrel, and if it goes all the way in to the mark, it's probably unloaded. If it bottoms out about 1/2in or more before the mark, it may be loaded.

I used it on the crap van at 200k miles. Felt a LOT smoother, got rid of an occasional stumble when I go from idle to WOT, and picked up a little MPG. But the inside of the motor was probably about 80% element 6, so anything was going to improve it.

Anybody who hands John Hennessey 600 large is a fool, and deserves what they are going to get.

I don't know his actual name, but he answers to "Life is Beautiful", which is usually the last line of his raps and songs. Dude has been around campus a LONG time. He used to live in one of the crap apartments above one of the bars where Gateway is now.

Crazy price...but the car really is just about perfect. Somebody really wanted THAT particular car.

Oh yes: http://www2.nbc4i.com/cmh/news/local/article/cow_birthing_calf_at_the_downtown_split/34819/

Hmm, hadn't thought about it in a while, but there is a somewhat common superstition that a tool unused for a year will seek to harm the person using it. Another superstition is that metal, being non-organic, "thirsts" for blood so that it can live. This one I almost believe, I can't count the number of times I've been cut or poked working on a motor...but I've never been injured TWICE in a day by the same car. Then again, I learned German, Italian, and Japanese cuss words, since it makes sense that a car won't understand you unless you cuss it in its native language.....

Breaking the orbital bone would be HIDEOUSLY painful. Nothing can be done about it, and every time you blink or move your eye it HURTS, the muscles all anchor on that bone...

Or one of the other FFLs in Columbus. Gunbroker has a page with FFLs by ZIP code, very useful. Most private FFLs are half the price of getting a transfer from Vance's. 03C&R for the mil-surp win!

The gauges look cool, but aren't very useful. You can tell what the RPM or MPH are at a glance, but not how quickly they are climbing or falling. To get a rate-of-change takes a longer look with than with an analog sweep gauge. It makes shifting at a specific RPM harder, and thus slower.

Eh, dunno how much he had to do with the actual player selection in that trade. But he did personally persuade Nolan Ryan to come back to the AL rather than retire.

Same here. There just doesn't seem to be a short English word for the concept best described as "Scumbag asshole getting what they deserve." Yes, "justice" fits, but is not actually a VERB, so... C'mon, we are dealing with the Dispatch here. I'm just surprised they managed to spell "victim" correctly. Or "the". Or the letter "r".

I think I broke a rib falling off the couch while laughing...
