  1. Onstar is a piece of crap, run under the false assumption of safety and security only to eventually collect more data than needed. http://www.autoblog.com/2011/09/21/gms-onstar-now-spying-on-your-car-for-profit-even-after-you-uns/
  2. Looks like there is 10,701 or 9,000 feet of runway depending on which one they use, could be 11,901 or 9,400 if the runoff area is used. http://www.airnav.com/airport/KILN I hope there aren't a ton of restrictions, the texas mile doesn't require all the safety gear.

    Advice needed

    Thanks everyone for the advice, from the sounds of things it doesn't make allot of sense to run a light/laser combo (especially with the $ involved). Maybe a light is worthwhile, but practice and familiarization are far more important.

    Maybe it is called a Weaver rail? Is that the proper name for the triangular shaped rail which makes it easy to attach accessories? Agreed lasers may not be the best option, but my thought was that it may give the shooter better odds of hitting a target in a low light situation. But then again a shotgun would increase the odds as well.

    Thanks, I was trying to find something pretty integrated maybe like this http://www.opticsbestbuy.com/Ncstar-Tactical-120-Lumen-Flashlight-and-Laser-Combo-w_Quick-Release-Mount-AQPFLS.html Just wondering if anyone has experience with them?

    Any one have a good recommendation for a tactical flashlight / laser combo that would fit on a tactical rail?
  7. Why was the 1M picked to represent BMW? It's like bringing a pocket knife to a gun fight....
  8. Beautiful ride, love "The Stig" sticker. GLWS.
  9. My son had it done in Feb at age 5. My wife and I noticed the condition just before he turned 3. The doctors evaluated him over an 18 month period before doing the procedure. Needless to say going into the procedure was pretty nervewrecking for us. Procedure and recover took about an hour before we could get back to see him in recovery. He was still pretty drugged at first but as the meds wore off he became pretty sensitive to light. He got pretty pissed, and at one point screamed, "How dare those doctors did this to me!" Was a pretty rough day from that point on. However the next day he went back to school and seemed to be ok with the exception of the blood vessels in the corner of his eyes being broken. After a couple of weeks everything healed up and his follow up appointments told us the surgery had been a success. Even though it was pretty tense with the procedure, I have been happy with the results. Shoot me a PM if you have any questions.
  10. Funny, I wouldn't have posted if the vets beat me to it. I did like your title better though.
  11. Gotta love blonde drivers. (Kidding) What would you do if your girl bent up your Bently and a couple other premium autos? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2019340/Hapless-blonde-crashes-250k-Bentley-FOUR-supercars.html?ito=feeds-newsxml Edit: My mistake, the value of all autos combined was north of $700K while the actual damages were somewhere in the six figure range.
  12. Great point, for the average person married 2.8 kids and a dog, the Audi is awesome. If you r above average there r cars that can make use of that margin. Buy the Audi.
  13. C6 or M3 kill it it a straight line. Wait C6 or M3 will kill it through the twisties. S5 will kill C6 in winter and easily beat the M3 in snow. Audi's r boring to drive in dry weather....... Depends on what you want it for.
  14. I think the shock set up contributed to the problem as well. It sounds like the suspension gains more travel while airbourne thus giving the shock more ability to absorb the impact (see 2ft drop @ 50mph). However what the owners are describing is an impact where the suspension does not cycle down before impact, thus limiting the travel and the ability of the shock to absorb the impact. If the shock transfers more energy than needed to the bump stop and then the poor design of the frame is accentuated. Does anyone know if the frame is different from a normal F series truck?
  15. Got gaped by a yota prerunner.....
  16. Spa is a great track, especially that turn o'rouge or something like that. Those f1 drivers don't lift, amazing stuff.
  17. http://www2.nbc4i.com/news/2011/jun/24/ovi-checkpoints-expected-franklin-delaware-countie-ar-562568/ CENTRAL OHIO -- Troopers, Columbus officers and local deputies are holding two OVI checkpoints Friday night into Saturday. Columbus police is conducting a sobriety checkpoint on North High Street, south of Olentangy Street, in Clintonville. The checkpoint begins at 9 p.m. Friday and continues until about 3 a.m. Saturday. The Ohio State Highway Patrol and the Franklin and Delaware county sheriff's offices are holding a checkpoint from 10 p.m. Friday to 2 a.m. Saturday on U.S. Route 23 in Delaware County. An intersection was not given. The checkpoint also is conjunction with nearby saturation patrols to aggressively combat alcohol-related injury and fatal crashes. That OVI checkpoint, funded by federal grant funds, is planned to deter and intercept impaired drivers. If you plan to consume alcohol, designate a driver or make other travel arrangements before you drink. For additional information, stay with NBC4 and refresh nbc4i.com.

    Hilton Head.

    I go down every year with the family to HHI, typically we have stayed in Sea Pines. Where you stay is dependent upon what you like to do. Lazy quiet days and evenings are the norm, maybe searching out a place to eat and shop here and there. Golf is great and the beaches are ok, but the place is a sanctuary for slowing down. Family friendly overall, if you do go, I would recommend the Red Fish as a place to eat (you and significant other). Great wine selection (state minimum + corkage fee) and the signature sea bass dish is excellent (they also serve a couple of steaks). If you are looking for places to stay, I suggest VRBO.com (for rent by owner), the user interface is a little clunky but the prices can beat most rental companies. There are many houses and condo's for rent, houses are more private, condo's are typically within walking distance of shops/eateries, and hotels are usually connected to an eatery with more within walking distance. Good Luck and feel free to shoot me a PM if you have questions about the area.
  19. How much for the irons and what shape are they in?
  20. Cars.com, great search functionality.
  21. If it was the one I saw it was a dark grey metallic, definately not black as the black wheels. Sound was incredible, maybe not glass breaking but certainly exotic.
  22. No diff = 400 HP one wheel wonder.
  23. Great pics and nice attention to detail. With the GT500 it takes you back to that period, very cool!
