  1. BSG appears to have been slowed by the strike like mentioned, otherwise since it's the last season for BSG is the only reason I can think they would delay it is to try get everything right. We at least had Razor for now which is badass. I can't wait for BSG to kickoff this march!! :nod:
  2. In limbo right now, trying to stay away from the driving jobs. Too much bullshit with these companies and the hours required to make good money are just too much.
  3. <---Possibly has a super secret project for this coming season if I can get the fundage, basically it will be a good deal quicker car than the S2000!! If not I will be beating the Laser to death at Mid-Ohio and probably do little autocrossing.
  4. Merging is a big thing with a lot of drivers, it costs them a lot of fuel having to constantly speed up and slow down with merging traffic and people have a habit of pulling right beside a truck expecting them to move over when the car has the yield sign and it is very dangerous to be in that situation especially because it takes place on a truckers blind side. While there are some bad truck drivers out there some of the laws don't help and we need to remember that without those truckers our country would come to a halt very quickly as they deliver virtually everything we need and use. Rolla, I'm no longer driving for that company, my truck was becoming unreliable(and the owner couldn't afford to fix it) and I had serious concerns regarding the business I was working for, so I had to get out.
  5. Anthony, I can understand your frustration in situations. I have a class A CDL and know what it's like to be behind the wheel of a truck and trust me they get no respect from cars. Yes there are situations where they get aggressive and do the wrong thing but put yourself in their seat......Your in an unfamiliar town and unsure of how the upcoming exit will be, wether you have to cross 3 extra lanes of traffic or not, sometimes they have to make quick moves. As for being out in the left lane, if it's only 2 lanes they do make passes and it's going to happen. If it's 3 lanes wide or more then they have no business being in the far left lane(many states have laws that don't allow trucks in that far left lane). Indiana amongst other states now have a single speed limit for cars and trucks and it has proven to make traffic congestion around trucks easier, only a handful of states like Ohio and Michigan have different limits with Michigan being the worst with cars at 70mph and trucks 55mph!!
  6. Go on a weekday, it's damn crowded on the weekend.
  7. Think of it this way with trucks, they're at work and most of the time on the road you're not and maybe you guys should stay out of their way!!
  8. Brian, you're right. They do that because the shoulder of the road isn't built to the same spec as the rest, i.e. it's not as thick and constant truck traffic would destroy the shoulder.
  9. Dr. Apex

    wondering?

    If it's the one with the wheels falling off it was all over the web and even made national tv last summer, no need for it again I guess.
  10. About 3.5 hours at the speed limit. $12 at the gate, no need to buy ahead of time. Plan on paying $20 to park so it's best to pool up there and split the cost of fuel and parking.
  11. ^It's not the trucks fault either, they have to be able to pass as well. again if they were allowed to go 65 it wouldn't be as much an issue except most cars don't travel 65.
  12. Barnes and Noble, Half Price Books or Amazon.com.
  13. We need this law here. As for the trucks, most states have allowed trucks to travel the same speed as everyone else with great success and I wish it would happen here but it gets shot down every time they try it.
  14. My Pathfinder is the fastest Nissan ever!!
  15. ^What I was thinking, I don't care about 25 years ago and right now the 07' season is "this" season until the next one starts imo.
  16. Can't wait to see both the week after next!!
  17. If that's the case about Brady then don't forget Mike Vrabel making it happen there too.....Tom Brady was a nobody at Michigan and his success at NE has no bearing on anything related to OSU or UM. Another Michigan fan living in the past. :finger:
  18. Everyone was overrated this past year and that's obvious. The Big 10 is not a strong confrence right now and the SEC is, it's going to go like that. All teams and conferences have their high and low points. Illinois is looking up right now, I think Rodriguez is going to make Michigan into a strong team again. Michigan State lost a lot of close games this year and gave BC "everything" they could handle!! OSU next year despite the the fact I think Laurinaitis and Gholston are leaving will have a very strong team that again has a chance of winning out if they beat USC.
  19. Exactly. Tressels weakness IMO is his conservativeness, he doesn't get very aggressive and his play calling on offense is only somewhat creative on rare occasion. Also we need to recruit more speed as well as everyone else is doing it, it's obviously been somewhat a factor this year and definitely last year and we all saw what WVU did to Oklahoma with it!!
  20. Hayes officially had 3 National Titles, 8 Rose Bowl trips of which he won 4. Even with a record of 205-61-10 Hayes only won half of the Rose bowl trips, interestingly these games tend to have more difficult opponents. I'm not trying to jab at you or anything JP, but the anti-OSU and anti-Big Ten shit has been just excessive the past couple years and on here a few bad apples adding to it and I simply am fed up. We live in "Columbus, Ohio" and this is Buckeye country, if you don't like hearing about OSU then leave.
  21. How many Rose Bowls did Woody Hayes take us to and still lose(He won 5 of them)?? We can't win them all.
  22. Seeing that picture of Crush in Maxim she is pretty damn hot, I was undecided watching the show but by far she is the only one that is not too......what's the word....."Butch".
