  1. Chuck Norris farted in their general direction. This is how they respond.

    in other Korean news...

    Actually though, they're probably just trying to finagle some aid (food, water, oxygen, etc.) out of us. The inspectors will be allowed to tour a nuclear plant waiting room, a nuclear plant bathroom, and a plant that makes models of nuclear plants. That is all.

  2.  

    Do not buy a polymer AR15 lower. Let me say that again. DO NOT BUY A POLYMER LOWER!

     

    For the $100 or so you might save, it is not worth it with the massive record of failure polymer AR lowers have. Forged AL lowers are cheaper and more available than ever, it is absurd to get anything else.

  3. I have trouble calling a car that would get outrun by a modern minivan or CRV a sports car. :lolguy:

     

    Yeah having a sporty car that has to go WOT and shift at 4000rpm just to keep up with the tahoes and odysseys stoplight-to-stoplight makes for a totally sucky experience. They may be "handling cars" or "economical" or whatever, but 99% of buyers don't want to get smoked trying to merge by a pedestrian land-yacht. I'd expect 170rwhp would be enough to keep up just fine.

  4. I've had a pro-form something ($750?) and it's been decent for the last 5 years. Only goes up to 10mph, and the incline had to be fixed under warranty, but it's been trouble-free since then. I have no idea what the life expectancy on a treadmill is, but if all you need is the belt adjusted that is very easy to DIY.
  5. Bicyclists be mad at me bros. guess they get offended and report posts when you tell them to stay on the bike paths

     

    That's too damn bad. Erry time I see a dumbass biker (I ride too) on a busy 55mph road I can't help but think he/she isn't going to make it home. There are TONS of nice places to ride for miles and miles on bike paths and be nice and safe. If I have to choose between a head-on with a vehicle, or running a cyclist off the road guess which one I'm doing?

  6. I'd rate it as a decent treadmill show or something, not quite good enough to make me drop what I'm doing and pay full attention. I do like that the dudes are beating on each other a bit, and it's fun to see them psyche themselves out and fall apart.
  7. Torque early isn't an issue if you don't strap a huge turbo that doesn't suit your application. If you want torque sooner, buy the right turbo then.

     

    I'll agree with you in a performance application, but in a daily driver the torque you feel when you let out the clutch or short shift doesn't come from boost. I'd trade 50 ft-lb at 7000rpm for 30 at 1000 any day of the week in my daily driver. The heavier the car, the taller the gearing, the worse it is... and today's cars are getting pretty portly with all their safety and convenience crap, and gearing is getting very tall in the quest for economy. Recommend diesel.

  8. I'm a member of M1911 forum and 1911 forums, and don't recall reading about regularly failing MIM parts in RIA's. Sure, parts are gonna fail, in any gun.

     

    But I don't dismiss a gun on price alone.

     

    Nor should you. Many gun owners don't shoot enough to exceed the life expectancy of basic parts. While forums are a great source of information, not every owner of a 1911 runs to the internet when they have problems (maybe just the younger ones LOL). 9/10 times I see people having problems with a 1911 it's a cheapy.

  9. I disagree, read up on some of the 1911 forums and find out which brands have the quality and the price tag.

     

    Someone mentioned RIA, and you won't find a better 1911 at those price points brand new. Armscor puts out some really good 1911's and parts (used by other reputable 1911 manfacturers).

     

    You and I have very different standards of quality it would seem. Perhaps if you read up on some of the 1911 forums you will see the cheaper 1911s (particularly their MIM parts) are regularly failing around 3000 rounds.
