  1. Trying to book our Honeymoon and wonding anyones opinions on which Island. It seems Maui is the most expensive, and Oahu has most night life.

     

    We were going to book a 5 star resort for 7 nights on oahu not in Wikiki for less congestion, but we are rethinking it because it is $5400 with only breakfast included.

     

    We have no reference to compare the 4 star resorts/hotels to the 5 star because we have never been there. Like trying to decide between a Crown Vic and a 7 series when you have never seen a car before.

     

    We were trying to stay around 5k for the bulk of it, as that is our present from her grandma, and we would pay for the rest. But food, alcohol, rental car + parking, trips/adventures/etc could easily be as much as the resort itself.

     

    Just looking for some first hand info. Thanks.

  2. Thanks alot for the information guys. I will look into stuff. I actually went to the range again today with my fiance. It was a fun time.

     

    Guy at the counter commented on my Colt .38 special detective spec. Said it was the nicest one he has seen, and that they dont make them any more.

     

    We are looking for a range on the West side to become a member of. Any recommendations? We live by Tuttle Mall in The Orleans Appartments.

  3. I was just wondering what good places to get general gun handling/shooting info from. I also was trying to find out more about the guns I have. They all seem to be decent guns, just wanted to find out more about them.

     

    Thanks for the help so far, I will do some more research.

     

    Keep the info coming.

  4. My grandpa passed away about 2 years ago giving my dad all of this guns. I picked up all of his handgun/pistols/revolvers about 2 months ago and cleaned/oiled them all up. I went shooting at the New albany shooting range this past weekend, and had alot of fun. He has a S&W 9mm 5906, Colt detective spec .38 special ctg, Ruger new model single six .22, Mauser something and a tiny berreta .25I am trying to get into guns and range shooting and was wondering what gun forums you guys are members of. I tried to look up the info on the Colt and Ruger but it was hard to sift through it all. Thanks alot. Aaron
  5. I stayed in a small cabin with my girl over a year ago for the weekend. It was pretty nice. It was snowing, had about 6 inches the whole weekend so needless to say everything was beautiful. And winter hiking is bad ass and at that time I had my chipped B7 A4 so it was fun.

     

    The cabins we stayed at were cool, small, but cozy, and decently spaced out. The view out the back was of the woods, so you couldnt see anyone else.

  6. Yahoo for a quick read, then Hotmail, CR, Audizine, Motorgeek, OhioVW and then if i still have time ill look at myspace or facebook. When i got really bored some days ill hit up free arcade or ea.com to play simcity classic.
    Audiworld is much better than audizine. At least for the 2 years I had my A4 it was. Audizine is much more "boy racer" than audiworld. I visit: vwvortex, golfmkv, ohiovw, shoforum, CR, Audiworld, Youtube
  7. You are on a roll.When gas prices are at all time highs as you said, they arent focusing on the right cars for their "Green" movement. Their problem is their product line. The cobalt needs to be redesigned before a real high mileage equivilent can be produced. Sure the 2.2 base engine can get 30mpg, but you can't get any good options in them, and the 2.4 SS/NA engine gets mid 20s along with the new SS/TC. The Honda and Toyota equivelents are easily at the 30mpg mark AND offer up scale options like heated seats and nav.The Malibu is on the right path, but still not up to other standards. They don't have a serious competitor to the CR-V or Rav-4. Its pretty amazing how they have fallen, it seems like the "Big Three" have been asleep at the wheel the past 20 years and were content catering to rental fleets.
  8. Still not impressed.* Go to http://fueleconomy.gov/* and compare the two, plug in the gas costs and miles to drive.* That's exactly what I did using my mere 8,000 miles per year with 90% in the city.* The savings was like $600 per year.* $50mo.* I blow that on lunches in a week.* Not worth it.The car biz is a bunch of BS when it comes to Going Green.* If you want to see some major impacts in the world, come to the Green 4 Retail show in Chicago next month.* Wallmart and McD's lead the way by far.* Wallmart in the state of Ohio alone will do more to save the planet than all of GM's hybrids sold this year.Fact: The main reason the Tahoe was chosen as the Green Car fo the year was because:1. They pulled off getting the damn thing to market by 1/1/08.* Good move on their production front....it was a requirement.2. "Newness" is a factor...and yes that term is used in the selection process.* Big fucking deal...Toyota has had this shit for nearly 10 years...I hardly give GM credit for being New at creating a dual mode Hybrid.* That's a crock.The selection committee actually favors this too.* They look for nominees who are in the beginning of there production cycle...not 10 year vets like Toyota.3. They look for manufacturers who are implementing their "new creations" in other vehicles and markets.* Toyota just recently inked an OEM deal with Nissan to use their system in the Altima.* GM inked deals with Both BMW and Chrysler prior to their release....so yes, you'll see this same system and it's successor in other models. Again, big fucking deal...they struck an OEM deal vs Toyota that would rather keep the goods to themselves and make more money in the retail world selling to consumers.* GM did it because they knew they won't win the game when it comes to competing with Toyota at the consumer level.Sorry to sound like I'm bashing GM, but I grew up in a GM family and took in enough second hand GM Smoke through my ass and don't really need to inhale anymore.GM will take another hit in the next 12-24 months with the Volt. They will be out peddling an electric sports car to those that can afford it and quite frankly can afford gas, where Toyota will be unveiling a 70+mpg plug in hybrid platform that will include two new models in addition to the updated Prius.* I've seen the new Prius during my time at Panasonic as they are the makers of the batteries.* Hang on GM, as you're about to be kicked again. Bigger motor, better batteries, plug in at home and better mpgs...hmm....I wonder who will win the sales game in a country that will likely be near $5 gal gas when these hit the market.

    Your my hero. Finally someone who understand just how much the domestic car companies are in trouble/full of shit.

  9. Sweet car. I'm currently checking out 350z's because I can't find a G35/37 for a reasonable price. I'm obsessed with how cool the tail lights look, but the circular LED ones seem few and far between.. any reason for that? Every g35 I see on Autotrader has normal looking bulb-lights.
    He was talking about the sedan tail lights that are LEDs in a circular formation upon braking.
  10. Circle LEDs are for Sedans only, and after a certain year, I think 2006 Sedan is what you are looking for. The Coupes/350Z have LED tails, but not in a circular pattern. I am not sure of what year they started LED tails in these cars, but I know the circle pattern you talk about is for the sedan only.
