  1. Some days I'm ashamed to be part of the human race..
  2. I hate bootleg movies, but I haven't rented a movie in probably 10 years. If Blockbuster is going under it's not just because of pirates, but at least partially because their business model didn't keep up with technology and how we adapted to it and incorporated it into our lives. When it comes to business, if you're slow, you get left behind.
  3. Slap one of these on your bumper. Custom Bumper Magnet
  4. Is that fuel pouring out of the back of his car? Oh and AWD launch FTW. Makes other cars look like they're sleeping at the line.
  5. The school on Hard Rd in Dublin is 25 normally, 20 during restricted hours. The Dublin cops sit there like it's their second home. I think because there's a hill and a turn just before the school zone so people coming from Sawmill can't see the cop until it's too late.
  6. Samuel Smith's Organically Produced Lager Beer. First thing I notice is a very clean scent. It's a clear golden beer with a light taste. It's good and likely a more experienced palate would enjoy it more. With my limited experience, I don't find it as interesting as some of the others I've tried. But as a straight up "Beer" it's very good.
  7. That's the plan. But up until now, I had no idea what I should make, or if I'd even like it. A friend of mine also wants to get into beer brewing, so we'll probably work on it together. Besides, his house is better set up for it than my apartment. My boss is going to start brewing a Christmas beer with cinnamon and other spices. Sounds awesome. Hopefully I'll be able to mooch a bottle from him. THAT sounds perfect! I will have to check it out, thanks.
  8. Thanks for all the suggestions. The Oaked PA sounds really interesting.. But I'll try to pick my way through all the suggestions here.
  9. I'm 34 and I don't drink. I've tried alcoholic drinks, but never really found anything that made me want to drink. Peer pressure never bothered me, if my friends tried to make me drink, I just grabbed a cup of whatever was on tap and just walked around with it. There are other reasons why I don't drink as well. First, there's alcoholism on both sides of my family. And Second, I have no willpower when it comes to stuff I like. However, there have been numerous studies linking moderate alcohol consumption with good health. And recently, there have been studies that have shown Beer to be better for you than previously thought. (High in anti-oxidants, vitamins/minerals, and the alcohol of course.) I've always found Beer in it's many many types/flavors/brews/etc to be rather interesting, so I figured I could start drinking beer. Ground Rules: 1: Only one beer per day. One beer will do nothing to me (6'4", 245lbs) and a hard limit will help keep this from becoming a habit. 2: No big factory beers (Bud, Michelob, Coors, etc.) If I'm going to be having only one beer per day, it better be something with a little more "heart" in it. And besides, I've sampled the big names before and found them boring. So far I've been working on the Sam Adams beers (had to, I'm an ex-Masshole). I've tried: Honey Porter (which I'll have to try again at some point, since it was my first), Cherry Wheat, Boston Lager, Oktoberfest, Dunkelwisen, Irish Red, and Brown Ale. So far, my favorites are Oktoberfest and Dunkelwisen, with Irish Red and Cherry Wheat close behind. Next on my Sammy-A kill-list is Blackberry Witbier, and Black Lager. But I've got a couple recommendations from some friends to try first. First is Smuttynose Old Brown Dog Ale. Apparently only available in the North East (just got back from a trip to MA), it's a Brown Ale and I'm trying it now. It's very interesting. It has a good smell and a brownish, only slightly cloudy color. The taste is surprising. First thing you taste is smoke. It tastes like it came off a grill. I bet this beer would be great for a cookout. Not as bitter as I'm told most Brown Ales are. Overall, a very smooth beer. I like it, but I think it should be paired with food. What I find interesting is that this beer makes the Sam Adams beers seem "safe". Tomorrow is Sam Smith's Organically Produced Lager. This is HIGHLY recommended by another friend of mine. So I'm looking forward to trying it. I started this thread to get other suggestions for interesting beers to try. So any ideas would be appreciated. I hope to turn this hobby drinking beer into eventually brewing it. I've always wanted to try brewing, but knew I didn't have the palate to do it right.
  10. What year is the WRX? Is he trying to get 500hp at the crank or wheels? Does he want to stay 2.0L or go up to a 2.5L? Will this be just for Drag racing, or does he plan to Track/AutoX it?

  12. How can it not be your style? That Lincoln has style to spare, so you can borrow some.

    Ok, I'm impressed he kept it from flipping over. That was pretty cool.
  14. This is the first song I heard by Volbeat. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90mYNqZ1XY4 I heard it on Liquid Metal (was Hard Attack) on Sirius. The chorus really caught my attention. I hadn't heard the songs posted above. That's really cool.
  15. I actually saw this just last week. It was on a work van. When I walked into the shop (to deliver the new rotors) at first I thought I was looking at a fan clutch but then did a doubletake. Holy Shit was about my same reaction.
  16. Two different stories. Was the S200 racing, or was is trying to get out of the way of two pickups that were racing? Witnesses said there was three and the S2000 was just getting out of the way, but 10TV says the S2000 was racing. Dunno, seems like 10TV is hyping street racing and pointing fingers at the flashy sportscar.
  17. They looked the same to me, and I'm using Google Chrome.
  18. OMG... my brain just asploded.
  19. I like the way the Gumpert looks. That time's impressive. Did he? So much for our bet. Guess he knew that Neon could't get the job done.
  20. even the joke songs about them get rather good.
  21. I didn't watch the whole thing, just the accident and the girl being traumatized. I LOL'd.
