  1. Uglier the better in my opinion. Everything in here so far should qualify though.
  2. There have been several posts on this thing, but it HAS to be included: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-jBhPwNpgNyU/UEO0qFr-tgI/AAAAAAABQ_A/FIpormr11TI/s850/Greaserama_0341.JPG
  3. Between some recent bad experiences on ebay, and now hearing about some of these paypal policies, I really start to hate both companies more and more. They are both under the same corporation if I recall.
  4. I can't really comment specifically on the Hemi Ram trans, but if you're saying this as a sweeping generalization like "Dodge transmissions suck" I would refer you to my 318 Dakota that went 250k+ before losing 1st gear. Are there specific issues with the 04-09 Ram transmissions?
  5. Compare weight of rocks to real weight of mags according to packing slip. If some guy at ups swapped out your mags for rocks on the truck, its unlikely he would get the weight right again. If weight of rocks matches weight on slip from ups pickup, then I'd put the full blame on the seller.
  6. 03-05 had a worse interior, and the "smaller" headlights. 06-08 had the larger headlights and new taillights, along with an interior revision. Definite improvement in interor, though still no luxury car. 5.7L drivetrain is largely the same from 03-08. 09-current are significant improvement in every way. MUCH better interior, hemi gets more power, and coil sprung rear end for a better ride and less trucky handling. Honestly, if it were me I'd look for clean low mileage 07-08 truck, because they are slightly devalued since the current generation's release. I have an 07 and like it a lot, though mine is not a gas motor. They represent the end of the 03-08 gen trucks, so it could be said that any bugs that may have existed were pretty well worked out.
  7. No issue with metal fragments all over everything? Edit: selling car lol
  8. Until there is more legitimate information, we have only this: http://i.qkme.me/3sz500.jpg
  9. Although it's obviously unclear how the fire started, what is the legality of a police-started house fire that someone inside does not escape? Obviously officers can throw smoke bombs, flashbangs, tear gas etc. to extract a suspect or otherwise create an advantageous situation. Can they light the place on fire? Second question. How does homeowner's insurance work in a case like this, as far as the owner of the cabin is concerned? Surely it's different, but my friend was hit by a suspect that was fleeing police officers on the freeway, and it totaled his truck. Because it was part of an illegal activity with police involvement, insurance did not cover the damage to his truck. Just wondering, though pretty tired.
  10. That's general merchandise. They definitely do C02 fills for paintball tanks.
  11. San Bernadino PD bonfire actually. That's what's kind of shitty about all of this. The dude has a beef with LAPD, so he barricades himself in a different area, outside of LAPD jurisdiction. So now he seeks his revenge by shooting seemingly random officers? Also as far as all the crap being said, I've heard single shot fired, ammunition exploding, tear gas fired, flash grenades used.... What is the likelihood that typical news dummies can differentiate. I think I'll probably just turn off the tv for now.
  12. I posted about this idea in a 5.0 Mustang thread a while back. I love it!

  14. Oh rry? Practice what you preach etc. Edit: goddamn I'm not even fast enough...
  15. I was born in 87, but I do have memories of this. I imagine I'm not remembering back to 88 though.
  16. My dad had a work friend bleed out from a self-inflicted chainsaw accident over the weekend. Be careful out there.
  17. NEW RULE FOR PICTURE THREAD: Don't quote 10 pictures at once.
  18. True, it's better than Top Gear USA for the most part.
  19. Slightly confused so +1/2 +1
  20. I really liked my ranger, and they're cheap and easy to work on. Unless you have small dogs though, the extended cab on them is going to be too small. I think a cherokee probably checks all the boxes you'd like though.
  21. Watch a few episodes of Ax-Men, then cut it down. If you have a chainsaw and an axe, it's not tough. If you do the face-cut and back-cut decently, it really only has one way to fall. If it's leaning at all, this can complicate things, or if it's asymmetrical and much denser/heavier on one side, also a bit tough. You can guide them though, wrap a rope around the tree towards the middle, and have friends or a vehicle "guide" it one direction or another as it starts to fall. My dad and I successfully cut down a tree a very large tree that was less than 15 feet from the house, with no issue. As long as you're prepared to cut it into logs and clean up all the brush, actually knocking one down is the easy part.

    Top Gear UK

    Thoroughly enjoyed the brand new Bentley piloted through a WRC rally stage, by a legitimate rally driver, at something close to race speeds. Just nuts.
