Oh my fuck. That is insanely stupid. I was always under the impression that you can't buy a car back you were at fault for totaling....sounds a little fishy and fraudulent.

"Herp Derp. Made it home from the war, now gonna go drive like a jackass in muh 'Vette."

[Skinner]

I originally bought the car from the dealership with 17k miles.. Within 2 weeks of buying it I managed to wreck it.. Yes I know...I was young and dumb and only been home for 3weeks from a tour to Afghanistan.. After I "totaled it" they paid of my loan and gap took care of the rest..Well for giggles I asked the insurance company how much I can purchase the car back from them and they told me a mere 6,600$... I was like hmm why not because at the time the car was only 3 years old and I could part it out and make some cash out of the ordeal.. Well they dropped it off at my dadds friends shop.. After the ol man tore into it he gave me a call.. Told me everything that will need to be replaced and his buddy can hook me up.. His buddy off the bat he wanted to buy my car for 13k. I told him no and he still hooked me up with parts.. so we did... Truth is I'm glad everything went the way it did.. I wouldn't had this car longer then 8 months because car +insurance was about 900$/month for a 20yold.. Even with the 13.5k$ down payment.. Car been payed for before I could make my first payment and I am far pleased with it.. I have seen salvage cars sell quite often. I would part it out and make more cash that way.. But I have no need to because once again.. It's been paid for and every 1$ I put in it is a upgrade.. I love seeing clueless faces of higher ranking people in the military.. How did you afford that thing? Well sir, smart investing. No need to brag about a salvage car but it's a great car regardless of title

 

TIL that its a smart investment to buy a $40k car wreck it buy it back and fix it for a 5th of the original cost. Guess I have been doing it all wrong.

[1badeagle]

SO its safe to say your a fan of the car. LOL

 

So you caught that?

[Skinner]

BRB buying a Bentley GT will total it buy it back/fix.

So that we have a little more car talk. I've been trying to marry into a new car for about 4 years. I know I will have the car for a decade so I'm very hesitant to pull the trigger. I have a budget of about $60k which is a lot more than my $25k budget when I got my TA 11 years ago. Its going to be used, under $20k miles. I will also be swapping in a bullet proof tranny, suspension, a turbo, and a forged block on day one. I'm thinking $40k on the car and $20k on upgrades. Only rwd and fwd cars..... What should I get?

Jenkem

 

 

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

 

Jump to: navigation, search

 

 

Jenkem is a purportedly hallucinogenic inhalant created from fermented human waste.[1] In the mid-1990s, it was reported to be a popular street drug among Zambian street children.[2][3][4][5]

 

In November 2007, anecdotal American media reports created the wrong impression that jenkem was a popular drug in American schools.[6][7] Several sources reported that the increase in American media coverage was based on a hoax and "on faulty Internet research."[8]

[edit] Description

 

The name derives from Genkem, a brand of glue which had become the generic name for all the glues used by glue-sniffing children in Africa before the manufacturer replaced n-hexane in its ingredients in 2000.[9] In the book Children of AIDS: Africa's Orphan Crisis by Emma Guest, the making of jenkem is described: "fermented human sewage, scraped from pipes and stored in plastic bags for a week or so, until it gives off numbing, intoxicating fumes."[10] The process is similarly described in a 1995 IPS report: "Human excreta is scooped up from the edges of the sewer ponds in old cans and containers which are covered with a polyethylene bag and left to stew or ferment for a week."[4] A 1999 BBC article refers to "the dark brown sludge, gathering up fistfuls and stuffing it into small plastic bottles. They tap the bottles on the ground, taking care to leave enough room for methane to form at the top."[3]

 

The effects of jenkem inhalation last for around an hour and consist of auditory and visual hallucinations for some users.[3] In 1995, one user told a reporter it is "more potent than cannabis."[4] A 1999 report interviewed a user, who said, "With glue, I just hear voices in my head. But with jenkem, I see visions. I see my mother who is dead and I forget about the problems in my life."[3] Fumito Ichinose, an anesthesia specialist in Boston who conducted a study on the effects of hydrogen sulfide gas, or "sewer gas," on mice, informed Salon.com that holding your breath, choking, or "the inhalation of gases like those produced from jenkem could result in hypoxia, a lack of oxygen flow to the body that could be alternately euphoric and physically dangerous."[7]

 

[edit] Media reports

 

[edit] 1995–2006

 

The first media description of jenkem came from an Inter Press Service wire report in 1995.[4] According to a 1998 report in The New York Times, Fountain of Hope, a non-profit organization, said that jenkem was used by street children in Lusaka, Zambia to obtain a "powerful high."[11] In 2002, Project Concern International Zambia and Fountain of Hope released a report entitled "Rapid Assessment of Street Children In Lusaka," where jenkem is listed as the third most popular drug among Lusaka's street children, following Dagga (cannabis) and "glue and Dagga" but ahead of "Ballan" (uncured tobacco) and petrol.[12] John C. Zulu, director of the Ministry of Sport, Youth and Child Development in Zambia, said in November 2007 that jenkem usage is less common than glue-sniffing and, "Initially, they used to get it from the sewer, but they make it anywhere [...] They say it keeps them warm and makes them fearless."[7] In 1999, BBC News ran a story about jenkem.[3] In 2004, South African weekly investigative newspaper Mail & Guardian mentioned jenkem abuse in a report on Zambia's street children.[13]

The Collier County Sheriff Office intelligence bulletin from September 26, 2007 which was later leaked to the media.

On September 26, 2007, the Sheriff's Department of Collier County, Florida issued an internal bulletin about jenkem based on a TOTSE internet forum post by user "Pickwick," which included purported photos of the manufacture and use.[6] "Pickwick" confessed it was a hoax around the time of the internal bulletin.[14] In November of that year, officials at the United States Drug Enforcement Agency said no reports of jenkem use had been confirmed in the United States.[15]

 

After initially classifying stories of Western jenkem use as "undetermined," Snopes quickly reclassified it as "false." About.com also concluded reports were "based on faulty Internet research."[8] The Smoking Gun stated the Collier county alert "may be full of shit".[16] Drug research site Erowid reported, "the jenkem stories that have been circulating in the U.S. media are almost certainly the strange result of a hoax."[17]

 

Jenkem use was reported uncritically by KIMT of Mason City, Iowa,[18] WIFR-TV in Rockford, Illinois,[19] and WINK NEWS Fort Myers, Florida.[20] Washington Post columnist Emil Steiner reported that "a spokesman for the Drug Enforcement Administration insists that 'there are people in America trying [jenkem],'" which the DEA agent characterized as "dangerous, bad and stupid."[21] Fox News ran the story after the Steiner Washington Post column, mentioning Pickwick's hoax and retraction.[22] In the same article, a Washington D.C. DEA spokesman, Garrison Courtney, specified that, "We wouldn't classify it as a drug so much because it's feces and urine." UK technology tabloid website The Register concluded that "the jury's out."[23] ABC News interviewed DEA spokesman Garrison Courtney, who stated that, "It is in Africa, we know that… We've heard rumors and speculation about it here, but part of looking for trends is listening first for speculation. It is something we want to keep on top of."[15]

 

WSBT-TV in South Bend, Indiana advised parents to "wait up for [their children] at night and not let their kids go to bed until they have seen them and smelled their breath." [24] Austin, Texas NBC affiliate KXAN-TV interviewed a local teen, whose parent speculated on its use: "Once it becomes OK with a certain group of adolescents, it becomes OK with a lot more."[25] Australian broadcaster ninemsn summarized American news reports.[26] A syndicated report published on the web pages of CBS affiliate CBS-47 and Fox affiliate Fox 30, both of in Jacksonville, Florida, reported on jenkem and also referred to it by the slang term "butt hash," citing media reports from the Washington Post, the Drudge Report, and Inside Edition. This was also followed up by a Fox 30 televised news segment, in which Captain Tim Guerrette of the Collier County Sheriff's department was interviewed.[27] A Florida syndicated newspaper article focused on the leaked police memo and included interviews with DEA spokesman Rusty Payne, the Palmetto Ridge High School principal, and a spokeswoman for the Collier County Health Department.[28]

 

Jamie Pietras of Salon.com published a long piece on jenkem in 2007.[7] Pietras interviewed a Zambian government official on ways to curtail use and also focused on the Western media scare. Pietras interviewed researcher Earth Erowid of Erowid and Jag Davies the communications director for the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS), neither of whom could provide any confirmation of its use in America. Partnership for a Drug-Free America public affairs representative Candice Besson also stated that PDFA had not previously heard about the drug.

 

The Enterprise Ledger of Enterprise, Alabama quoted a local narcotics investigator who believed it was being used in Coffee County, Alabama.[29] A commentary in The Times-Reporter of Dover-New Philadelphia, Ohio said jenkem was "largely debunked," but that "someone will be stupid enough to try it."[30] The story was also covered with varying degrees of skepticism in The Orange County Register,[31] Evansville, Indiana Fox affiliate WTVW,[32] and Wichita, Kansas CBS affiliate KWCH-TV.[33]

 

In 2009, Bettendorf, Iowa amended its city ordinance regarding illegal inhalants to include organic substances.[34][35] In 2010, an apartment building in Fort Pierce, Florida was condemned after police found leaking containers of human waste in a unit. One police official speculated the tenant was manufacturing jenkem.[36][37]

 

[edit] In popular culture

 

In the 1996 "War of the Coprophages" episode of the TV series The X-Files, a teenage boy claimed inhaling methane gas generated by burning manure allowed him to see "reality as it really is." He later dies from self-inflicted wounds.

 

The Spike program 1000 Ways to Die, aired a 2010 fictional story about a rock-n-roll musician named Cedric, whose recreational drugs run out while his tour bus is being repaired in the Mormon-heavy Provo. After a roadie suggests jenkem, Cedric goes on a bender, culminating in his death by asphyxiation while inhaling methane from a port-a-john.[38]

 

The popular online skateboard and culture magazine, Jenkem Mag was inspired by the purported hallucinogenic.

 

A two part mini-documentary was made in 2010 by Australian documentarians ViveCoolCity, attempting to recreate and then use, Jenkem, purely from information that US media circulated during the Jenkem scare of 2007. [39]

 

In 2012, the American Dad! episode Less Money, Mo' Problems, Stan gets high on jenkem while living on the street. [40]

Wait a minute.....

 

$13,500 down and GAP insurance still had to kick in.....

 

Congrats, you just unlocked a new achievement. "Worst Ass Raping Ever"

You had to have over paid by atleast 15k. Great job on doing your due diligence.

[imstock2]

He had to re-wire the Ecu plugs. The Ecu was fine.. Still in my car. Car never had an alignment issue or any electrical issue in the past few years I owned it. You wouldn't knew it's been totaled without me telling you. And yes if you total a vehicle the insurance company will sell it back to at a precentage of what they could get out it. It's not fraud.

If he plans right he can have a car somewhere in the 8 second zone that he can drive to the track and drive home.

 

With Ac and heated seats retaining the factory stero system. but I highly doubt I'll be the first m6 c6 in the 8's with this set up given I learn how to race at the track. Although there has been Shoaf and his 9.8 sec stock ls2 with this same TT kit running out of gear.. I belive the fastest m6 c6 on the 1/4 was a c6z that was just h/c only on a 150shot stock drive train r(-clutch) ran 9.3 if I'm right. The cars power will Be there and with eboost it'll be able to use every bit of it. Only issue is the safety equipment required.. But I just need to get some stones and take a shot at it atleast once. They guy that builds my TT kit said he would sponser me if I can break the c6 m6 record. Not getting hopes up but would be sick!

[imstock2]

Fixed

 

I never paid interest.. Only thing I paid for was the deductible which was added in the price the insurance company was selling back to me. Never made an issuance payment either. So happened in my favor without me knowing their was a recall for the 2006 z51 lt3 corvettes. If you move the telescopic steering to much it would cause a short and could lol up one side of your brakes causing you to suddently swerve to one side and If your not ready could cause you to wreck.. It don't take much to "total" a corvette the majority of the cost was in labor going about fixing it. In which for me it was free thanks to some good friends and my old man for helping. I fail at body work.
