I've been seeing alot of ages fly by the last couple weeks and have to wonder if there is anyone older than me hanging out here. I hit 41 in April. I competed in the late 80's early 90's but between kids and going back to college at 29 (1993 for you math junkies) I fell by the wayside and just kept a nice system for my own tastes. I am now thinking of jumping back in the lanes and have a dedicated partner in my son who will be 16 next month, and wonder if there are many of us old timers left still lurking :ph34r: about.

I am purchasing this home and it has a bridge as the front portion of the driveway that goes over a small lets call it a creek. In the pics you can see that the right wingwall is broken off the approaching abutment. The bridge is solid concrete and not sure what era it was built. Property started being lived on in 1900s and then house rebuild in 85 and then updated in 93. I have drove over the bridge in my town and country and other than the scrape from the dip had noticed no "bowing" or "softness of any kind. I just was wondering if anyone does this kind of work with wingwalls and abutments.

so i orderd my alt from ireggi and i got it in about 4 days after placing my order, but when i open the box to install it i find out that its the wrong one i placed my order on the 5th of may and got it on the 9th, so the service at first was great but then after that it all went to chit, i have been trying to call him about 5 times a day every day since the 9th and its now june 3rd and i have yet to get him on the phone once. I have written about 50 emails and only have gotten like 4 responses. One of the responces was suppost to be a return shipping label that i could print out to send the wrong alt that i have now back so i can get the right one sent back. after he ema…

If they have a very, very large budget ... I vote for Kent. I guarantee they'd have to replace axles, panels, etc after every race ... but hey, he'd give thr crowd a show.

Just because this almost started to really take off on another post. List year, make and model, how many miles and how long you have owned it. Here is mine. 2007 Honda Accord Coupe 42,000 7 Months Put about 20k on it since I have owned it. Guess that is what happens when you live so far away from everything. Hahaha.

My official title is "Gatekeeper". I open and close gates remotely from an office and keep track of people going in and out of those gates (about 30-50 miles away) for a drilling company doing natural gas exploration on private property. I work 6AM-2PM, M-F. Most of the time I just sit here and surf the internet with not much else to do.

I am sure this is all over the internet by now, but, let's see what people know here A plane is standing on a runway that can move (some sort of band conveyer). The plane moves in one direction, while the conveyer moves in the opposite direction. This conveyer has a control system that tracks the plane speed and tunes the speed of the conveyer to be exactly the same (but in opposite direction). The question is: Will the plane take off or not? Will it be able to run up and take off? I know the answer, do you?

Idk if one of these exist but if not post away Im sure it means"" I love my dad because he tucks me in bed." still lol I lold at this one^^ because i watched HangOver lol thats so fucked up^^ lol

Okay guys we are designing unit shirts...........We are called the "Warlords". Anybody wanna do a logo up for me? Get me something that the unit decides to use and I'll see to it that you get one for free. J

Since my sub is out of service at the moment I bridged my 6x9's and turned the x-over off and I was amazed for them being 6x9's I knew they where loud but I could seriously feel air moving from them and they are 6-8ft behind me in the back of my wagon in some free-air enclosures. I just had to post this, ive had these for 2 years and ive never had them create a breeze, but ive also never tried giving them more power. now there getting a very clean 125rms each. they are 100rms each.

Is great. I mean, I visit some other forums, deal with the crap, come here and learn, and of course bullshit. Realize that I'll never meet 99.5% of you guys, but you all are great. I was just thinking you know, this place is awesome. No bullshit, quality members, and a great staff. It's not often where you can find a forum such as this (SIN is similar), where guys go absolutely out of their way to find you deals on equipment. During this past week I've had the chance to deal with three different people merchandise wise. Flawless transactions as expected. All three of these people went out of their way to help me out, and I don't quite think just how much they know how…

Popping in and saying howdy y'all Long story short: I was involved in a car accident around 7PM CST Thursday February 19th. Not my fault, nor is there any dispute on who was at fault by anyone involved or by workers at the scene (EMS, Volunteer Fire Department, Texas Highway Patrol, Memorial Hermann Life Flight, et al). I had my seat belt on. Silver did not make it Due largely to legal reasons, what little juicy details I can give are: I had a clean fracture of both the tibia and fibula on the right leg. The toenail on my right big toe is now gone. Moderate amount of bruising all over my right foot and ankle, bruised the bottom of the left foot and another bruise on my …

well guys, you've seen my pic, it's been about 3 months since i shaved and i figured i might as well do something new i look pretty young completely clean shaven so i dont know if i would do that but otherwise vote away if you vote "Other" please specify in thread thanks lol

I got in a fight stupid. But now it gives me time to get a job to save up for a new car.

To start the story I will by saying at no point did I think I did not deserve the tickets. On my van I have, what may be some of the darkest tint you can have and still be able to drive. 5% over factory 20% on rear five windows, 5% on front two, and 35% on whole windshield with a 10" 5% strip over it. While I have had this my inspection sticker has since expired. But would cost $200ish to get brought up to date due to having to have the front tint removed then replaced, so I have not done it yet. I was driving to a local audio shop I frequent with my GF and friend in the van with me, we were going through a small antique shopping center. Stores on both sides, speed limi…

Who do you think is gonna win? Predictions and final scores post them up here.

Is it human nature to take all forms of criticism and instantly assume the person giving the criticism is trying to insult you personally? I know I used to think that way, I no longer do and now it seems like, to me at least, that a lot of people think that even constructive criticism is insult based. When I try to help people, I try my best to make it seem like I am helping or at least trying to. But there is always someone who wants to assume I am just insulting them, even when I try to explain I am helping, they still think I am just trying to be mean towards them. I bring this up from a recent Facebook conversation where someone assumed I was trying to insult them a…

baiscly i got pulled over fo rmy music cuz i aint see the cop, no ticket given but he was an ass. But he said i needed a liscense to have an amplified vehicle, i looked up the ordinace rules for indianapolis, and it bascly says u need a liscense if ur a commercial driver, say for like an ice cream man or somethin, nothin about non commercial use.

Almost everyone who has worked anywhere has probably run into them, whether it's in retail, food, an office environment, etc. People who can't wait to tell your boss what you're not good at, what you're doing wrong, and that you were staring at your coworkers tits yesterday. Like Cutthroat B' from House, they will do whatever it takes to move up in life, even lying. Everyone hates them other than the boss, but that's who's opinion really counts. I've never done it(nor had a reason to), but i'm actually a victim of being snitched on. I worked at Geek Squad when i was 19 I would give customers my business card so they can call me on the side whenever they had computer issue…

I didn't see this done here before, if it was forgive me. The Xcon in the door thread got me all nostalgic. What was your first system and what was it in? My first system was in an 88 Sunbird convertible, 1 Cerwin Vega XL-12 powered by an Earthquake 250x ( think that's what it was called at least) later I added some Blaupunkt 6x9's powered by an Alpine 3522. I upgraded to a pair of punch XLC's shortly thereafter and eventually some Audiobahn Alum 10's before I junked the car because a large portion of the top tore off and it had no heat in January in Minnesota. I remember driving around for hours at a time going no where at all and in a huge hurry to get there. I miss 95 …
