  1. Pssh... Germans are not going to be impressed with your Australian V8 sedan when they're rolling around in sophisticated M5s and Mercedes.

    Just imagine if you had an Avalanche over there... that would be WAY more impressive and unique. /gimme that car!

  2. I dunno if I like this... 'more privatization' scheme to promote 'job growth'? I need more specifics.

    Regarding the taxes/budget, the numbers are a bit more reasonable when you look at them on a actual dollar amount basis rather than a percentage. $761/26 paychecks = about $30 per paycheck less. Is that worth it? Maybe not? But, using percentages is misleading by making it sound much more 'grand' than the issue really is. It's a discussion still worth having, but lets frame and scope the problem appropriately.

    But Hagan and Amstutz said such increases would be a mistake. Citing projections from the Ohio Department of Taxation, Hagan said income-tax rates would have to be increased 46 percent to 56 percent in order to fill an $8 billion hole.

    That would equal about $761 more in tax payments for an Ohio family of four with an adjusted gross income of $66,000.

    Either way, with Kasich's plan to take local subsidies out and putting them back into the state coffers, you better hope you don't live in a poor community because it's a long downward spiral from there. Creating mini-Detroits all throughout the state.
  3. I don't think I'll ever live the castles ride down. I at least printed out directions... So I was de facto 'that guy' for being the most prepared out of a group of no preparation. My bad for assuming someone, ANYONE would have a GPS. Hell, there was a guy that mounted speakers to his bike - I figured hes an electronics nerd, he'll have GPS.

    Nope. :D

  4. I'm rockin' an LG Chocolate Touch, which is nice for long motorbike rides too... damn near a GB of music on it.

    One of the rare phones that has an FM tuner, and the headphone jack is 3.5, so no need for an adapter.
