  1. +1 on that. I have a Federal FA91 which is mostly the same, but the quality isn't what a JLD would be. It's expensive to shoot, is hard on brass, has a firm recoil, but is otherwise nice. They're very heavy, and the charging handle is very stiff, so not for smaller shooters. Cleaning is also a PITA, and depending on what brake/compensator you have on there, it can be painfully loud to shoot. It is a cheaper alternative to an M1a/FAL though, and the ergonomics are pretty decent. Every collection needs at least one.
  2. just for the record, I have had a shitty time with 5/3 credit card disputes. I got bait and switched on a $400 order, received $30 of it, and 5/3 told me they couldn't do anything for me after multiple in-branch complaints and a few letters. Thanks a bunch guy. Assholes!!!

     

    Recommend going to chase.

  3. What is going on here? Seriously? I say bring it on bitches. The American people need to get behind this and fix it. This is some serious 1st amendment assault, and next they're coming after the 2nd. Damn you comedy central for being a bunch of pussies, and damn you extremists for even trying to bully an American. That shit won't fly with a real American.
  4. The late model passat tdis are really nice too if you can find one. Basically an A4 diesel. Of course the newer ones make a ton more power stock, and get better mileage with a little tweaking.
  5. I believe this dude tunes diesel VWs and he's local.

    Right. Jon's used to be pretty big into the tdi's, and had a successful tdi rally car. The newer ones with the dsg's seem to blow up when you mod them, but those are for soccer moms. My stepmom has an 06 and gets 40-45mpg all the time.

     

    +1 on the carbon buildup though, I've seen what he's talking about and it's crazy! I really don't think they're worth the premium they bring over the gas models if you buy used. I'd only get a tdi if it were new, because they hold their resale too well to be a good used buy.

  6. Good luck man. I bought a home and H&R block said my costs weren't high enough to qualify. Closing costs, points, interest all count I believe. I paid about $5k if I recall (just off the top of my head). They showed me their little calculator and I was just a few bucks under the standard deduction, so I didn't itemize. I think that's right?
  7. No just proof he wasn't

     

    That wasn't so hard now was it? His mom's name is Stanley? It must be a fake!

     

    Yeah, Kenya said he was born there, and I thought his uncle or grandmother or someone remembered him being born there? Of course with all those kids who would remember?

  8. Yeah, like the president wouldn't be able to forge a document crucial to his re-election...

     

    It's ridiculous that there has been so much debate over this, and I still haven't seen concrete proof he was born here. WTF?

  9. Yeah, my shop used to be a dance studio for little girls

     

    It still is! Ha!

     

    I don't have any digital pics of the miata, so just imagine a slammed white one with a dented fender and a whole bunch of tire under it.

     

    I think I've seen a few dozen of those running around!

     

    All joking aside, welcome and bonus points for actually getting to the track.

  10. All of you that bash the interior on the vettes- what are you comparing it to?.

     

    I really like the c5 z06 for the money, but every time I see one in person, I just can't stand the cheapness of the interior. The c6 is much better, but it's still nowhere near where it should be for car as expensive as it is. It should at least be as nice as a new gti or something, which I don't think it is. That's GM for ya though. Trickle up philosophy ftl.

  11. I would have thought all of those things could be salvaged from scads of other hondas. Without having it right in front of me I can't say for certain... but the cb750 brakes can be swapped onto most older Hondas easily, and they're dirt cheap. Might need to swap speedo gears to make the cluster work, tach drive should be the same.
