Being that I don't plan to retire for 25 years, I don't really care what the markets do. If they go down, I'll just be investing at a lower price point. The only long term concern I have is this country's ever growing national debt. Eventually that's going to burn everybody. Part two of that is I have a strong belief the country will take control of everybody's private 401k/IRA accounts to not only make up that deficit but the Social security deficit.

I have been to countless Steelers games, including the playoff game vs the Ravens. Nobody cheered if a player got hurt, we lost the game and nobody ragged on Ravens fans. As we walked out no Ravens fans ragged on Steelers fans. Was a good clean rivalry. So no, I won't say the steelers and their fans have no class. I'll leave that to the Bengals.

You're so right... Because Bengals fans throwing bottles at Steelers fans and injured players in addition to cheering as they got hurt was all class. Pure class. Every single game has calls that should have been called and shouldn't have been called, it's a fact of life. Some days the errors lean towards one team more than another. Refs can't see everything. For Bengals fans to blame everybody else for their loss but themselves is the whole reason they lead the league in longest playoff drought. It's time they take some self accountability. Bengals were the ones that made the mistake of fumbling. Bengals were the ones that failed on Defense and allowed an injured QB to drive 50 yards down the field. A Bengals player was the one that intentionally went after a defenseless receiver. That's the game right there. Steelers had the 1st down and 20 seconds left. Throw as many off setting penalties for whatever went on after the injury. The outcome would have been the same.

I've seen this before. I've also seen people reading newspapers/books while driving. Not just sitting at a light either. Idiots

If you buy the stuff on Craigslist, do you get a surprise bill when you pick it up?

Mark walked away from IPS a couple months ago. He didn't want to do a big announcement that he left because he didn't want his departure to have a negative affect on their business. There was no hard feelings, both sides couldn't come to terms on the continued relationship. Carlyleracing now has two employees taking parts orders.

I have a used traxxas russler I'm wanting to sell. It probably goes 60mph. Looking for $200 and comes with a real nice charger and spare tires. Probably $500 worth of stuff. I just don't use it anymore, so it sits in the basement collecting dust. Not to hijack the thread but it is a fast electric rc. And imho avoid nitro at all costs. I had one a number of years ago and just hated it.

And in 10 years these cars will probably all be electric with speakers that play engine sounds. I'll take the turbos for now.

Yeah I think 150#'s probably is a little low for total luggage. But we aren't ones to load up a bunch of coolers with food. Generally we get where we are going and hit up a grocery store. The wife is being a little difficult on the travel trailer she wants. I'm going to see if I can find one that's at least 400 pounds lighter. I don't mind pushing a vehicle to it's limits, hell we all do it to our sports cars. But you really can't get past physics when it comes to turns, hills and wind. Most of our long trips will be towards the Carolina's which involves those huge mountains.

From what I read the trailer dry weight is 7370 with full propane. But I can assume there will be a minimum of 400 over. Probably 500. The other option would be to get a diesel ford excursion and just use it for longer trips and maybe as a hunting truck. Won't be as nice as the wife's Yukon. But plenty big enough and can tow 10k.

Cliff notes. Truck and trailer come in 400 lbs over the 14k max combined vehicle rating. Tow it or find a smaller trailer? Longer version. Yukon XL can pull 7900#'s. 14k combined total rating. We weighed the truck with the family, full tank of gas and 150#'s of corn to mimic luggage. The scales came in right at 7000. The travel trailer we are looking at weighs 7400. So the two together will go over the 14k allowed. With a weight distribution hitch, is it close enough, or would you recommend looking for a smaller trailer. I'd pull it with my pickup, but three kids in the back of a truck for a 12 hour trip sucks!

This happened to me before. Mine was a nut that somehow fell into the intake. Car ran fine at first, then it fell into the combustion chamber. $4,000 later, I had the car running again.

My favorite argument of all time...

You can fly a drone nearly everywhere you want, as long as you don't fly in a no fly zone. I sold my quad because I was sick of people freaking out about it. I mean holy shit, if I fly 200' over your propery(not even your house) at 30mph I promise I'm not spying on you. It's actually quite remarkable at how perinod people are about them. One flew 10' over my house. The family waived at it. One neighbor called the cops, and shocking they didn't show up. I already know the police said there was no law broken. I mean the smallest propery around me is 5 acres, not like I was in a development. (Which again would still be legal)

Lock it up. Sold it this evening

I purchased this back in March and have had my fun with it and am ready to sell it. It was almost $3,000 new with the additional battery. I'd like $2100.00 As a reference for those on the fence on these. I have never flown any aircraft prior to purchasing this and never even had a close call. The machine basically flies itself. I've flown it nearly a mile away from my house, has an outstanding battery life and can be flown in some fairly strong winds. It really is an incredible machine.

Would like to see one persons return that is in true compliance with the law. I bet it's less than 1% of people.

best one yet

I just picked up my first drone a couple weeks ago. Got the dji inspire. The thing is a blast to fly! I think you did a great job on your video. It's quite amazing the footage these things can produce.

I've dealt with a L5S1 herniated disc for 8 years now. This last flare up has lasted 14 months and nothing seems to work. Steroid shots, physical therapy, massage therapy, chiropractor, rest, losing weight, pills the doctors prescribe,etc... Best thing I've found is to use an elliptical machine for 20-30 minutes a day. Even if it's a bad day on pain, it really loosens it up. I feel what your going through. I won't do surgery. Odds aren't good enough. Guy I know had an almost identical Mri to myself had surgery. Fixed the nerve pain, but now has back pain. He said all ther steriod injections caused scar tissue that complicated the surgery.

That was my thoughts too, that was the best part of the video

Agreed. Was one of my favorite shows.

Suspect must have been white, I didn't hear about this on the national news channels.

It's actually a fun game, but you need to pay 200-1k a month in real money to be competitve. People have spent well over $100k just to be top on their servers. I don't mind spending money to support the devloplers, but it's out of control how much people spend.
