Get the V. You won't be disappointed. I loved every minute of driving one when I was looking. The one thing I would suggest adding to your gotta have list is the Recaro Seats. Pass on the cheap ones you have in the one linked. They are out there. IMO I'd ditch Car Max too. Would never trust buying a high end car there. Besides the price on the one you linked too isn't great. I found a 12k mile 2013 for less than that. Fully loaded sedan with Recaros, black on black with the yellow rotors, etc. Beautiful car. Caddy dealers everywhere and they usually won't take in crap. Watch car max for wrecked shit they try and hide. At least that's what I've seen when I looked there.

I would do dress casual. That is Casual Dress Pants like cotton pants, button down shirt and since it's summer, a nice linen jacket...again, something casual. Pull the jacket off once you meet the group. Mens Wearhouse is filled with this type of dress. I wear it all the time in summer.

Very nice! How many owners of each type of car are on the forum? Do we even track that? Would be cool to see how many F-Body, Mustangs, etc. there are.

Funny, I thought the big yellow sign that said BUMP was enough :dumb: Welcome to the US of A where people no longer read.

I thought I saw her doing donuts in the parkinglot

Clay should buy this one if he plans to splurge.

Attn Clay......you should buy this. Ask me how I know.

1 is easy too. 2 is more than 2x as challenging. 3 or 4 is old hat by then but even more challenging still but again, by then parents got skills.

Reserving a position in line to resurrect this post 3 years from now.

I don't think it's stupid. The last thing someone needs is a 5-12lb object falling out of the sky into traffic or a person. 400ft is plenty high enough.

I'm still shocked that CR is looking for a nice 25-30 year old girl

This thread delivers some laughs for sure. Nothing to add really than to ask if you really want kids are is that just something you feel is part of what people need to do? I ask because I wasn't sure but the wife did and I was committed. Love my kids and wouldn't do it any differently, but they do challenge us daily and it's likely harder on me than her. Just make sure kids are what you want. There's nothing as rewarding but also nothing as challenging. If the answer is you do want kids, I'd find someone about 30-35. Go too much younger than you and you'll introduce several new challenges that you're likely already aware of. Large age differences can be had, but again, more challenges on top of the kids.....I hope you're up for all that. Sounds like you have your shit worked out which is great. Key is not to fuck it up Those are my two pennies. 45yrs old, 26yrs with the same woman and 2 kids that I love to no end but no doubt are keeping me on my toes.

Meh...I was just noting a time frame not specifics. Not sure what I'd do. Neighbor to the one side tied into our fence and I'm okay with that. Ours is built over on our property line by like 6-12" or something. I forget exactly. Bottom line is he's clear that he is not to paint or stain the boards and posts that I built. He's fine with that too.

It wouldn't surprise me if there was some antagonism both ways. However, it's not the shooter who in this case was the instigator. Call him crazy if you like. Some people call others who have a CHL an carry all the time paranoid crazy people too. Not me. Personally, he's stupid for opening his mouth to anyone about the matter. Selling t-shirts....funny. Go for it. The operator is prolly mad he didn't think of it. Meh....the view tells a different story of how close they were to each other. The operator can show "the video" he wants but no doubt isn't going to show all of them. Interesting that the other neighbors are stating he did in fact hover it over the yard much closer. Time will tell.... http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj84/crms3er/drone_zpsoq6ycmvd.jpg Meh....next time he should use a paintball gun or something else besides a shot gun. Either way, I bet the operator won't fly his drone over this guys house any more.

couldn't be further from the truth but if making such comments about someone you have never had a coffee or beer with then..... doesn't surprise me as it's just text on CR you're reading. I'll try and make my point clear. We have a line of trees and some distance separating our lot with an open field whereby lots of drones and planes and kites, etc are flown in the summer. I've even seen them crash on our street due to wind, etc. no issues. I don't care if they fly over the house or area. Really doesn't bother me. In fact I often will grab a big lens and track / photograph them. I'm sure I have several pics of that too. Fun both ways. However if one of those strangers decided to fly a drone into my yard below tree level without permission I would likely be paying them a face to face much like what Rob has noted he would do if I had my camera pointed at his house. Given the warning and instruction I'd provide, if that persons behavior continued, they'd lose a drone and no fucks would be given. FWIW we don't have a privacy fence either. I don't need one as we have have a natural buffer with the housing community behind us and we can't see each others homes. But then Tom is a lawyer and a good guy too. Great neighbor.

I'm not okay with him firing a gun in his neighborhood. I'm not okay if he did all that IF the operator was simply flying it a couple hundred feet off the ground. I am saying that if the operator, a complete stranger, took it to tree level or lower over the guys yard as has been implied, etc. then that I have a problem with. My hunch is they are both stretching the truth though. Overall, it's cool fun technology for sure, and I've used one just as Josh has, over a larger open area and over my place of employment which we own 10+ acres. I've not and would not hover it over my neighbors homes. Fly over, yes but not hover. And IF I were to hover it at tree level over a strangers house and it it was downed by said homeowner, I can't say I'd blame them.

The other video I saw shows it has a GPS. IIRC too the owner said he didn't find the SD Card and thus the only video he had was streamed to his iPad thus lower resolution. There's always 3 sides to every story but I'm betting he's only releasing the videos he wants released. Thus why there seems to be a discrepancy between what he's stating and the people on the ground. His attorney probably told him to back off on the posting of stuff online.

There's a news site somewhere that shows the flight path map-view in google earth form on the owners iPad. He makes a compelling story that indeed his drone was shot down from about 150ft up. Other witnesses said it was much lower on passes previous to that, thus why the guy went to get his gun. In that video you can see it's a huge wooded area behind the homes there. I'm not. I said it's not what I would do and that the neighbors interviewed didn't seem to make a big deal of it either. Not condoning it. All in all the only info I have is what tidbits are out there so we're all making some assumptions.

For me it was the damn memory seat and mirror controls. Sometimes even the obviously easy is a PIA. I ended up calling Trey aka IVRings to show me

Opinions; we all have them. I don't think he comes across as that at all. Lots of people here have privacy fences and concerns about people intruding on their space. don't believe me, come out with me sometime when I bring my 800mm lens you see in the avatar I have. It attracts about as much attention as these toys. Someone usually asks what I'm shooting. Never mind that a $400 bridge camera can reach 2000mm + He had bird shot loaded and there are no houses behind him, just open field. Not what I would do but his neighbors didn't seem to care when interviewed. To me their opinion on the situation is interesting. Perhaps but we don't know. I agree with him in that you don't know what the operator was doing or is up to. I'm sure if his comment about him having a checkered past will eventually be brought forth. The story will no doubt get more interesting.

That's why I always set the child locks. Last thing I need is for my kid to fling the door open into someone's car likely damaging them both. Hit those child locks on her car. :thumbup:

Did you guys know about the movie and that it was going to be an over the top comedy rip on James Bond and that it was based off a comic book? If you didn't then yes, it would catch you off guard and likely suck. You gotta go in knowing it's going to be over the top.

You'll love it more this week as the weather comes around

The interview he gave where he's on the front porch talking with the reporter he seems like a legit guy. Not at all a tin foil hat type. not really, we only know what the owner presented. the neighbors stories back up the shooter but only time will tell for sure.

I would offer the courtesy of telling them that you'll be removing the portion of your fence along their property and perhaps replacing it at some point but not at this moment. Nice gesture given they have dogs. Perhaps give them 1-2 weeks notice.
