  1. IIRC, at the start of that show, they bought an entire fleet of the same car for the "General Lee" car. I think they destroyed an average of two cars per episode Then there were all the cop cars ... And they drove up the price for 68-69 Chargers quite a bit by signifigantly reducing the supply "There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit."

  2. Species? How about planet of origin? I don't think it's human, and I wonder if it's from earth! "There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit." Lucky McSwervy "~ya don't GET old by being weak & stupid!" - Airtwardo
  3. True, but I95 is such a well known drug corridor, the cops routinely ask to search the cars they pull over for speeding. And she specifically said "vibrators use disposable batteries". I was just trying to save her some money "There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit." Lucky McSwervy "~ya don't GET old by being weak & stupid!" - Airtwardo
  4. I'm not ripping on homeschooling. Just on what appears to be white supremacist parents.
  5. Oh come on, Skittles. Most vibrators use disposable batteries. So, what you are saying is you want me to bring extra batteries for you? I'm not going to Sebastian to worry about needing batteries. They make great rechargables these days. And chargers that run on 12volt, 120volt, even the European 220volt.

  6. I bet they're already homeschooled. The parents probably don't want the kids to go to a school that would put their kids in contact with them. "There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit." Lucky McSwervy "~ya don't GET old by being weak & stupid!" - Airtwardo
  7. I really like the Mutual of Omaha disablility insurance ad in the middle of the article "There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit." Lucky McSwervy "~ya don't GET old by being weak & stupid!" - Airtwardo
  8. Tom, I know you are planning on publishing the results of all this so you aren't releasing a lot of information. When and where will it be published? If you can't say at this point, please say that, and then let us know when you can. The facts in this case are so few, I'm practically drooling over what you have found/will find. And Steve1- Bob Sinclair was still around a couple years ago, I met him at our Super King Air Boogie. He was still driving his green van, following Mullins around.

  9. Does this study take into account the loss of CO2 absorbtion due to deforestation? That's something I don't see in any of the stuff I read. The increase in CO2 production is usually blamed, but the decrease in absorbtion due to deforestation all across Europe and North America (much of the midwestern US was clearcut during the 19th century) don't seem to get mentioned. Even if we were able to cut the production of these greenhouse gasses, would that make much difference? This is a question, not a statement. If I am wrong, let me know. This also doesn't address whether or not we will make any changes. The story of Easter Island says too much about human behavior to me.

  10. You know how I know your gay?? I think you think i know how you think you know I'm gay. I've never heard a grown man quote the Spice Girls before. WTF? Not when he's straight. Nope - Not in this whole world is there a straight guy that would . . . When my ex moved (when we were still together-1998), the apartment was being vacated by 2 young gay guys, and they had the big Spice Girls poster up. Framed no less.

  11. After I got diverced, I waited until after I could drive past a wedding party outside a church without wanting to scream "You'll be sorry" out the window. And I am being serious.

  12. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder I guess. I've always liked the look of the 944 better than the 928 (those headlights remind me too much of a frog), but 928s are rarely mistaken for anything else, while my 944 is regularly mistaken for an early RX-7. NO- IT ISN"T A MAZDA! And I'm sure if I ever get a 928 it will be the most beautiful car I have ever owned
  13. Ruh roh. East Coast Gulf Coast battle. Somehow I'm not too worried about "swoop-by-shootings" "There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit." Lucky McSwervy "~ya don't GET old by being weak & stupid!" - Airtwardo
  14. The whuffos may have experienced similar G-forces, speed wind in the hair, landing issues and all that. But until that door opens, and you look out and see how far "down" is... Until you actually climb out on the step and hang off the strut as a S/L student... When I was an early student, I tried to explain the difference between looking out the window, and out the open door. Skydivers got it, whuffos didn't. So until you actually jump out of the airplane, I don't think you are a skydiver. But that's just my opinion. "There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit."

  15. I think Stewart will do ok, he was pretty brutal toward Hillary Clinton during the primaries. As long as politicians (or anyone else) does stupid shit, he'll be there to make fun of them. And that picture is of a '70's "Citycar" electric car. My neighbors had one. It was pretty useless. "There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit."

  16. Yeah, I got a spin in a Cayman last fall. (also a new 911 with the new automatic) The local dealer brought out the "Porsche Driving Expeience" to the Tech college here. They do big trucks and cops there so they have a skidpad. It was lots and lots of fun getting to experience the stabililty control and ABS on the slippery stuff (skidpad is snow/ice equivelant when wet). And even more fun taking the 911 around an autocross setup with the instructor giving advice. "There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit."

  17. Not a stupid question. Also not real light. The trick is to just jack the car up enough to get the tire off (or on). If you do it right, you wiggle the tire into position, line up the studs with the holes, and only have to lift it a little bit. 31x10.5x15 truck tires weigh enough to hurt my back, fortunately my Blazer has a screw jack so I can adjust the height to exactly where I want it. I agree that the best way to learn is to do it. It's a lot better to do it once or twice in your driveway on a nice day rather than trying to figure it out on the side of the road. At night. In the rain. And there is a reason for the "star pattern". It puts the pressure on evenly across, rather than on only one side. The best way is to go around once, tightening until snug, then go around again, tightening down the rest of the way "There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit."

  18. I have an '83 Porsche 944. Not turbo, stock. Not real fast, but handles better than anything I've driven before. It was in an accident before I got it so it's "good enough to drive everyday and bad enough to drive everyday". Lots of fun, but parked until spring. I'd like to upgrade to a Cayman (basically a Boxter hardtop), but they just came out a couple years ago and I need to wait for used prices to drop a bit. A 928 would also be cool - ugly but faster than all hell. The later ones were legitimate 150mph cars. "There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit."

  19. And this is a BAD thing?? It was happening all over the place. "There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit." Lucky McSwervy "~ya don't GET old by being weak & stupid!" - Airtwardo
  20. +1 I looked at Wiscinsin, and they only had one that would take the gift certificate, and listed the others in the state "for information purposes only" At least they admit there are other DZs that may be closer to you.

  21. I have a Garmin 60CSx handheld. I use it on the motorcycle, in the car, the semi, and even on foot. The screen is a little small, but the versatility is amazing. I had to get the map CD-ROM to get all the streets and addresses, but it takes me anywhere in the US and southern Canada. There are better ones for "car only", but I love being able to take mine just about anywhere. "There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit."
