"OH SNAP!" Looks like shot from Motor Trend or Car & Driver. Only better because it isn't a stock car!

Neil, We are interested and promise that CB will NOT post again on this topic or get his arse kicked.

They are going to sound great, it does suck about the minor cosmetic stuff but it won't affect their sexy sound.

Do they draft hockey players and allow them to still play in college ? Step foot on a junior hockey league ice surface, and kiss your eligibility away. You can get drafted though... just can't sign a contract, or have any money trade hands in doing so (which I am sure you know). Good clarification, for us MN'tans it is real typical to be drafted early in college and to finish out your career.

Sort of like bowling, except there the women are either cute and illegal or really gross.

alot?? lol, i'm sure it's been measured before, i'm certian of it...time for google...lol.. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee 180db = 20000Pascal = 2.9PSI But it isn't the pressure that causes problems but the dynamic pressure changing. To give you an idea, Boeing uses 180-185db to mechanically stress metal to failure. This is the reason HT guys really build the piss out of their enclosures so that the energy built in the box causes no coloration or resonant energy to be added to the signal.

Do they draft hockey players and allow them to still play in college ? Yes.

I have done some consulting with Caterpillar and Komatsu. At Komatsu they let me stand inside one of their shock absorber shells. I had room over my head too.

Actually that means you aren't going big enough, unless you call winching not getting stuck.

Bigger trucks are easy to take through traffic. The trick is remembering that you're bigger than they are, far more intimidating, and most likely their vehicle is going to be more expensive to fix. I don't know about easier, the M slices through while my truck just gets everyone out of the way. If I want to be an arse, I'd actually rather do it in the M. The gas pedal helps lots when negotiating small spaces, brakes too.

Expedition with the power stroke

it was written in the 60's so what do you expect.

I had saved $35k by the time I went to school and still left with $50k in debt. I worked 40 hours a week while in school as well.

X2

Will that get you through year 1?

Nice, brings back memories. I love Chicago! Perhaps my favorite city. I will be there in a month or so I hope. Did you stop for a pizza?

In 50,000 miles of operation going from 35mpg to 25mpg costs you a whopping $1500 at that price. Who gives a chit about that, in the 900-1700 hours (60mph/30mph) you will be sitting in your car I'd much rather enjoy it and feel comfortable, hell its only a buck an hour.

If so, an SSA road trip is in order. I'd be glad to drive.

Especially considering I am related to 6 sets of farmers that live 1.5hrs away.

I've been looking for a pole barn lot, but to get cheap land it is too far to drive

I got distracted on the way by a super good deal on a house I could afford and rent out part of it to my buddies, worked sweet.

That was my original plan when looking for a house. To find a lot and put a huge garage with a loft above it.

Another funny fact: I bought my M for less than a new Yaris and surely think I made the right decision.

Haha, wait until it actually is moving under its own power before you start saying that I need about 30G's... to build my own shop and supply it with tools. I would be working on it every day if I didn't have to drive 4 pucking hours to do so. Sooo... I get 2 days a month, and whatever time I take for holidays. 30g's /= econobox LOL. Your other Neon wasn't either tho.

Warranty -- who gives. Buy a good car and be smart it will cost you less. How much "warranty" work actually gets done. You are reading what I said to literally. It isn't about the girl. Everyone who sees that car has a reaction, most of the time it isn't positive. When I see them I expect some broke 400lb couple to pop out of it. You will be judged by what you drive even if you don't care. Think about it, do you show off your system to anyone? ---I know the answer is yes meaning you are proud of it and want people to realize you are into audio. Do you pick what clothes you wear because you like the way you look in them? ---it may seem to you like it is just for you but it isn't it is for others, how else would you have defined "that look" if it weren't for seeing other people and liking/envying something.
