last I heard it was 821 mrem/hr at the site boundary; considering that anything about background levels at the site boundary is usually a cause for alarm, its quite troubling. Even my father, with 20+ in the industry, said "holy shit!" when he heard the radiation levels http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banana_equivalent_dose Wow, twice that of Brazil nuts. Whoop de fucking do. Nice job with the media there.

You should weigh your true costs. Buying - selling + maintenance + insurance + gas and then make the decision. At some point a more fun car is worth it, at others it isn't at all.

A guy at the local bike club wears that. Figured if it were one of your friends they'd be splattered

Hiding inside. Friggin' scary, not like you can evacuate more than 50mil people

I <3 my ML Need to go for a drive

I want to squeak out and go helmet shopping, but have a crap ton to do.

You made me double check lol

Could be some specmanship on BM'ers part too

Bigger doesn't mean much compared to aerodynamic load.

Amusingly the Premium was $8 more. Not on protecta-a-beds site but on the net. Said eff it, someones telling me I'm elite and so is my boy. lol

The S8 could easily be a contender. The B7 as well. Just winter and towing make them not really on the list.

Didn't even want to come in this thread as I don't want to be jealous. Glad there are no finished pics

I would NOT buy any 6x9's and I wouldn't buy any rears. Tons of options for the front comps though. Get rid of the super tweeters as well. Ugh.

Everything is box dependent, but generically speaking the gains may not be noticeable. Exactly why space is always my first question in an install (which you remember from your other thread)

Ha, thought you were asking me, but since I am replying: no, I don't.

Bought two Protect-a-bed Elite covers (expecting to have to wash them regularly) for $46 each. Thanks for the lead. They'll be here Thur.

Probably not til next week though, this week is busy.

I am going to go drive a new Chili Pepper Turbo and see if that statement holds though. I have a feeling that might stir me a bit.

Bold statement. The caveat is of course *based on my current needs* ie, without a major lifestyle change. Two car seats, can tow my trailers, etc...

void free actually. If you didn't buy it in small sheets or pay at least $65 for a sheet it definitely is not good plywood. Lining it with MDF would be a great idea. The point of fiberglass in a box is not for strength. Resin is not a strengthener and even mat is not so great at flat areas. There are ways to use mat and rope to add strength, but you are better off with just wood. That doesn't mean the SPL'heads don't have a reason for glassing the inside of their box, it just isn't for strength but again a strong, rigid box is not always the loudest.

I can't think of any vehicle at any price that I'd rather have to drive everyday. I would prefer the updated GPS and phone integration of a newer one, but not at what it would cost me. So yes.

then you can buy it back cheap and fix it

Probably tomorrow though as I am not whoring 41 more posts in here tonight and the rest of the forum has quieted down

Soon anyways.
