    buying a rental

    Thanks for pointing that out. However, 20K miles over 2 years should be enough to notice and fix anything needed that is present near time of sale. After that, any used car is pay to play.

    buying a rental

    The KIA warranty is 60K/100K so if I don't find anything obviously wrong with it after inspection, test drive, CARFAX, etc. then I think she is good to go. The other thing that worries me about this particular vehicle is that it has been listed for 117 days AND the price is good. That tells...

    If you're going to do it, get a system for doing it to a CV bumper and solve two problems for the community at large. ;)

    buying a rental

    There is all sorts of humor about abuse of rental cars, but what do you guys think? I think beating the crap out of a car is good for it sometimes. I'm still wary though. A friend of mine is looking at used cars and found a nice former rental 2011 Optima sedan (40K miles). I am going to go...

    That Was Disgusting

    I don't even like Beyonce, but women are supposed to have curves. They aren't supposed to have bodies like prepubescent boys aka every supermodel out there right now.

    Apple Computers

    I have built my own PCs for decades and haven't used anti-virus software in over 10 years. Never had one virus in that time, except one that was put on my netbook 5 years ago from an infected machine on an unprotected network (that was supposedly protected). I have never spent more than $800...

    J. J. Abrams to Direct ‘Star Wars Episode VII’

    The stories were written long ago (in a galaxy...oh nevermind) and there are tons of them to choose from. Han and Leia's twins are both future Jedi - Luke starts a new Jedi school and there are always sith running around. Not to mention they just collapsed the empire at the end of part VI so...

    Triple Post Gauge Pods ?

    Yep -found it. As you can see it is a double pod with an additional optional third. It is a little dusty from my garage. Didn't even realize I still had it until I was going through boxes in the new house last fall.

    Triple Post Gauge Pods ?

    I think I still have a 3 gauge pod somewhere in my garage - never been used IIRC.

    Lets go baltimore ravenss

    Since we have conspiracy theories on everything else: The Broncos threw the game. The deep pass with :30 in regulation, the kneeldown, the Payton turnovers - all 3 of them were planned! I am calling for an investigation and no one is safe. The mob runs everything and the bets dictated that...

    CT Shooting

    I guess we need to arm all the firefighters now, too. Teachers, firefighters, mall cops and mall workers, the list will go on and on. Sorry, grandma - the firefighter can't carry you down the stairs on his back anymore because he has to carry a gun and wear body armor in addition to all of his...

    CT Shooting

    Columbine had an armed security guard with another nearby. That is the worst school shooting on record. For how long, is the question. Reducing magazine capacity makes the shooter reload more often and therefore reduces innocent deaths. Because...math. There is nothing for "dummies" about...

    CT Shooting

    Uh, no, he didn't. HE didn't do anything other than effectively say "yeah, the killer saw me with a gun so he decided to kill himself." Proximity does not grant causality. And since Ann Coulter has made it here to be considered an "expert" on something other than which brand of tinfoil to use...

    CT Shooting

    OK. Question for you. Put your uniform on for this. I am a civilian. I ask you, "if I am present at a public mass shooting, the police have been called and I have a choice whether to run away, hide or pull my sidearm and start shooting at the perp while innocents are present, what do you...

    So what was Flight 93, then? The terrorists with their box cutters were overtaken by passengers who were unarmed. As long as we are taking stuff that doesn't matter and bringing it into the discussion...

    CT Shooting

    Or how about I have worked in schools for the last 21 years - since I don't watch any "media" I'm wondering what you're referring to. Nothing I said is in dispute unless you can give valid reasons how a Cadillac could have killed those 20 kids/6 staff members. I own guns. I shoot guns. I...

    CT Shooting

    The car and knife argument is ridiculous. Can we put that one away? The killer, armed with a car would not have made it into the school. Even if he had waited until recess, he most likely could not have run over 26 people and suicide would have been difficult after. The killer, armed with a...

    CT Shooting

    You guys don't understand teachers. Most teachers will place themselves between a killer and their students, myself included. Our students are our kids too. I have watched 4 of my own students buried for different reasons. Don't think for a second that I can not only remember their names...
