It is the air force though, and I do get extremely uncomfortable comparing my service to say, a corporal in the reserve doing patrols in Iraq. I know my place in the hierarchy of service to ones country.

8 years active duty air force, currently a reservist. Signed up in Nov 2001.

Does it really matter? Here's my take. Laying a wreath in Arlington is a symbolic gesture that is pretty much meaningless. I can hate America with every fiber of my being and still go out there and plunk a wreath down, wave a little flag, and have all the patriots schlobbing my knob. It's a nice thing to do, sure, but it's not the most important thing the president does. It's not even the most important thing he does on that day, probably. In the past, presidents have realized this and sent delegates when they're not in town. Reagan, Bush Sr, and Bush Jr all did this, and nobody questioned their patriotism. Furthermore, if McCain were in office and you were his advisor, and he said, "Hey, I've got things I want to do in Arizona this weekend, think anyone would care if I sent Palin instead and laid a wreath in Phoenix somewhere?" You'd be like, "Well, sure, whatever, who cares. The memorial day wreath-laying isn't something I look forward to, and I don't check the TV schedule in the morning so I can be sure to catch it." Because honestly, when was the last time you even paid attention to it? But for some reason everyone is now a patriotism expert and claims that they've always considered the memorial day wreath laying at Arlington to be super important. And to that, I can't roll my eyes enough.

How is a goddamn fucking oil spill a political issue? Oil covering our beaches, no-fishing-zones the size of several states... can't we all just agree that this fucking sucks? Does it matter who the president is or what kind of underpants he wears? Seriously people, if I spilled oil all over your shit you wouldn't ask me who I voted for. Well, BP just spilled a bunch of oil all over our shit. It sucks. I really don't understand how people bring up politics at all during this. I saw a bit of Bobby Jindal on Fox News this weekend, and he was doing exactly that... no party line bullshit, no pointing the finger at Obama... He was just talking about how shitty this is for Louisiana. And it was refreshing.

Oh noes, I got an infraction!

Sure thing, I'm hard at work putting GT badges on my friend's V6 mustang and STi parts on a bone-stock RS anyway.

I'm doing my best, but apparently the irony is lost on everyone.

JANZUSDM

Look, all I'm saying is that's the regular GTS conversion, but if you were a real baller you'd have gone with the SS V-Series Special Edition: http://www.autoblog.com/2009/10/01/pontiac-g8-is-alive-and-well-in-australia-as-a-special-editi/ Because everyone knows special editions are the most JDM.

At least I think it was for sale here. I remember a 90 or 91 4 door that wasn't running but had a good interior. Or maybe it was running. It was maroon, I think. Anyone know who that was?

Wow that's super JDM.

Back when I cared I was just gonna spray it with upholstery dye or something. Then I stopped caring

I've rethought my position and I think loaded Fusion is the way to go. edit: Or a FWD MKZ. Probably get better stuff and the AWD won't really be missed.

I'll listen to offers

Rev is gone.

Rev is pending...

Sparco Rev Plus (Red) - Sold Sparco Evo XL (Black) - $200 FIA 99 certified, DOM May 04 Bought this looking like it does now, never used it. The stain on the back is that spray-foam stuff, so it looks nasty but it's soft and doesn't affect the seat operation. The shoulder bolster is ripped, and it's missing the bottom cushion (momo cushion that's pictured is included, but it's only a thigh cushion.) But hey, it's an Evo XL and will fit all body sizes, which is why I got it. http://steronz.com/random/seats1.jpg http://steronz.com/random/seats2.jpg

That's one sad looking fountain. Can't you just dig all that crap up and plant a tree or something?

Audi A3?

Short noticed, but I just realized I'll be up there for drill and I'm gonna take Friday off. Will head out around 6am if anyone wants to caravan.

+1. Everyone bitches about how lawsuits and lawyers have made us all pussies but when it comes time to practice what we preach it's all, "Well it's not MY fault, and where's mine?" Shit happens in life, and the best course of action is always to suck it up and move on.

Anyone know more about that event? According to the comments, it's a "demo derby" type race. The announcer says, "That's terrible, I wish we could disqualify him for that." Apparently it's within the rules. This video is pretty awesome too:

That was the Saleen Focus. It was gay. It's hard to beat the fun to dollar ratio of an SVT Focus. FRPP has a bunch of parts for them too, and there's good support for NASA's Spec Focus series, so the aftermarket is fantastic.

Bump. Gonna rip it all apart this weekend, probably.
