  1. You should try and "take" the streets, see how that works out for you. Justice was served in court, in accordance to the law, anything else is just prejudice.
  2. That's odd, why are there only grass stains on the knees if he was being attacked? Oh that's right, the "good" kid, who was going to "turn his life around" was beating the hell out of Zimmerman...............
  3. On Ford Crown Vics, and many other cars, 200-250 ma draw is normal. That works out to a 1 amp every 4 hours, 6 amps total draw over a 24 hour period, on a 72 amp battery. Current draw may be much less on an older car, due to less electronics. I would certainly look for a fusible link powering something, PCM, ABS controller etc. I would certainly load test the alternator, I have seen them put out 14.3 VDC but only put out 10 amps, if it doesn't put amps out with the volts, you will have a battery that is not fully charged, at that point, even a minimal draw will kill it. Diagnosing the alternator shouldn't take more than 15 minutes, tracking down an item drawing current, will take longer. It has been a long time since I touched a Fiero, I don't remember if they had 2 separate fuse panels. I thought there were 2, but I could be wrong.
  4. My Marauder books for 12-13k, I turned down 30k for it, sometimes book price doesn't apply........
  5. ^^^^ 100% correct ^^^^, I have seen some of these "toys" with a fuseable link as opposed to a fuse or a circuit breaker. It is most likely a break in the wire or a switch.
  6. Still, no bullshit involved or twisted bullshit, a friend owns a radio shop in Chicago. When I asked, that is what I was told, and he charges way more than that and then pays his guys accordingly. For said job, it "may" pay the 1k an hour, depends on the need and the danger involved The higher you are up, the more air time you'll get? I guy I work with used to do tower work, the 60 foot fall didn't kill him, but 35 years later he is definitely paying the price, hip problems, back problems, the initial fall only broke his jaw, both wrists, a leg and broke a few ribs...... and knocked out most of his teeth, he was the first 40 year old I ever met with complete upper and lower dentures(that I knew about), I am sure there are others, but I have no proof.
  7. No bullshit slinging involved, so what your saying is without proof, those pay scales don't exist? Then I won't tell you about the trucking industry and government contracts......... Those guys were getting $17-19 a mile to haul missile components, but since it's not listed anywhere, it never happened. 60 miles in an hour, most of that stuff going to the Midwest, I wonder what that works out to an hour? Is the work at that rate consistent, nope, and neither are jobs climbing 1500 foot towers. It's OK by me if you doubt anything, I don't care one way or the other, I merely stated what I have heard from others in that industry. Sorry there is no documentation to fill the void for you. Some jobs just pay what they pay because people want the work completed. As I have done in the past with projects I needed completed, I pay 10 times more than the standard rate because I want qualified and competent people to do the job and get it done. There is no paperwork on those either.............
  8. If it's an antenna tower, your on the top plate where the beacon is, you are tied off though..... not that it makes it any better.
  9. Your right, not every job is at that rate, it is a rare occurrence that you work on a job like that, but when you do, the pay is there. I did a job in Kentucky a few years back, pay wound up being $906.25 an hour. I won't provide my tax info for you to verify that though. I also never said that this was a 40hr a week permanent job. I believe you jumped on that bandwagon. As far as Afghanistan, there were quite a few jobs that were offered for 1 million a year, I know several people who took them. Not a normal pay rate, but that's what that job was paying, because it never happened in your life doesn't change the fact that those jobs/offers are out there. No real clue why you are so wound up about it. The pay is not the norm, neither is the job, it takes special skills, training, ability and tools, that's about it
  10. Katrina did involve dodging bullets, several guys were shot while working on sites. Hence, the pay. I have a buddy that services the Sears tower site in Chicago, a nice free climb off the top to service the antenna's. His work is steady, I joke with him about how much he glows at night. I will imagine your actual fee is going to be determined on the job, location etc., I can say from experience, that 950 feet on a tower, you earn your pay, no matter what the figure.
  11. How long ago was that? I can assure you that working in a high RF field, 1000+ feet, the pay is what I said. Hell, they were offering radio guys that same pay during Katrina to rebuild infrastructure. Believe me, the pay is commensurate of the job, if you don't believe it, go climb a 100ft tower, then get back with me.
  12. Those guys free climbed up to the platform, they are tied off with harness's, and for 1k an hour, it's not bad work.
  13. It's simple..............she told them she had a head in the bag, who wants to search that?
  14. I will guarantee that there is "more" to the story.
  15. If you've ever been to Charlotte, that would seem normal to you. A lot of welfare rats in that area.......

    CL Gem

    Wrong county tag, and the phone # in a Cincinnati area code. That car is a turd...........on a good day.
  17. We are apparently brothers......... I got the same as you.
  18. Ahhhhh, yeah, I'm a far way from stock. But on a positive note, it would be a good demonstration of what you could turn a stock Marauder into.
  19. If you want to come the Dayton, I'll take you for a ride in mine. If your over 25 and are willing to pay for the rear tires, you can drive.
  20. There are several posted on mm.net. linky......... http://www.mercurymarauder.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=87
  21. A few things that happened that most may not know.......mostly because it doesn't make Mr. Open Carry look so good. This goof goes in this Speedway almost every night @ 3AM or so, after he gets off work. Same goof "always" open carries a firearm in the store. Same goof had a recording device on him and running, expecting a confrontation. Same goof drove there, left his wallet and ID in his truck. Same goof told the police he had no ID with him, technically in his truck? Same goof had his car keys on him and verified that his vehicle was on the lot and gave permission to search it. Same goof live in Troy, no where near this store. No one called the police. Responding officer knew about this activity and expected to cross paths We saw the end result, 2 assholes getting together, flexing their muscles and seeing who had the upper hand. Bottom line, you may beat the charge, but you won't beat the ride. While that may be good for most, think about your fingerprints and what ever else on file. Add that to the ambiance of the book in at the jail, that should be enough reason to just co-operate. This whole thing sounds like a guy going to a toughman contest, picking a fight with the baddest guy, getting his ass beat, and then getting a lawyer to sue everybody.
