Why is it that alcohol is a drug you don't need a prescription for? Plus how much cost does it add to the health care system.

Same as nicotine really,it is the most addictive drug..

 

 

Nicotine isn't the most addictive.

How about you only drink when you're with a lady friend.

Actually last night one of little honey's I have been messing with was going to come get me to hang with her at her place..And she is pretty church going..I was honest with her and told her I was buzzing pretty good.."I was really shit faced" For her to give me a few hours to sober up.. Because I really didn't want to be around her like that...I never sobered up I think I got worse even after I stopped drinking..So I told her my head was pounding and she suggested maybe another time..

 

Last week i was totally fucking smashed I drank a 12 pack of bud and 2 25 oz lime-a-ritas..My ex came over after I was out of brew.. I was shit faced still got to hit it,I told her I needed to get some sleep I had a whole bunch of shit I had to get done.."trying to get rid of her" she had to get to work anyway..She gave me 2 fucking diet pills told me it would help me so I said thanks an chewed up both!! She was like what the fuck not at once..I was fucking jacked up!!!  was synthetic amphetamines I got other chick over few hours after she left and she stayed till the morning..Moral of the story brew has got me in a fucking pickle at the moment..lol

 

I swear on my fathers grave and the bible this is 100% true i am not trying to be funny or making this shit up..

Everything makes sense now...

Elaborate young grasshopper!

All this talk of pussy, been talking 'bout cats.

Okay maybe not, but methanol is.

 

 

Anyone out there have a recomendation for a turbo charger for phones?

The G4 didn't come packaged with one..

Contact HTC...
Ha! I do miss some of the refined details of the HTC.

 

 

Love my M8.

Have any of you guys ever driven a Tesla?

 

Yes. It is a bizarre experience. You are off like a rocket in nearly total silence. Just a bit of road noise and motor whine. It feels really solid. The ride experience is actually very nice, overall.

 

I go to a lot of TEVA (Triad Electric Vehicle Association) meetings as part of my marketing for hybrid and electric car repair. There are 4 people who own Teslas that are part of the club. I actually have gotten to experience some really cool electric and hybrid vehicles and concepts with the club.

Much like keeping marijuana illegal, it all comes down to money and a lack of knowledge.

Actually, the issue with weed is how little it could really be taxed. It is super easy and inexpensive to grow. IIRC the total cost of growing weed is less than 5% the cost of tobacco. Taxing a nearly free to produce product in a manner that the market will deem acceptable is a difficult task. In all seriousness we would toss some seeds in the fields when we were kids, come back 2 months later and pick buds. It requires almost no effort, no prep, no cost.

What is your opinion on the hybrid QX60?.."HEV"

Seth, a friend is dealing with what I assume to be a busted wave plate in her 07-08 equinox.

Do you know what she should be charged for that repair? She was told it would probably need a new transmission also. And they(dealer I believe) want $4000.

That sounds crazy high, but I know nothing.

 

Wave plate warranty has been extended on 07-10 vehicles to 10 year 120,000 miles.

 

Price is about right. Damage should be significant and the trannys are not really serviceable. Trans rebuilding is almost a thing of the past... very few out there doing them.

Cost is only for ammo keeping the vultures out...Just recently I have watched the state helicopter fly all across my land and up and down the mountain that starts on my land and made loops over me outside on the patio...I will take you some picks this is almost everyday occasion..Close to harvest season here so the birds can see fields above..But they never have no luck a few years ago one took a RPG I will see if I can find a link..

I have wildly varying opinions on Nissan HEVs. The design implementation is fantastic, using mostly Toyota's platform... same battery, inverter, transmission. I am a big fan of how Toyota implements their hybrid design. Nissan uses them as a massive boost for their hybrids, relying more on the gasoline engine with a battery boost, which translates to excellent performance, and stunning throttle response. The Altima HEV is a fucking beast of a 4 cylinder off the line, but has tremendous manners in traffic. But they have big issues with their auto stop programming. Leave it to Nissan to fuck shit up from a programming aspect. They use auto stop so much that carbon buildup is causing massive engine damage, with replacement coming early if you don't do extremely frequent intake maintenance, like cleaning on a professional level every 15,000 to 30,000 MAX! Also they are having dry trans sump related failures as the come into gear dry and rolling, which beats the fuck out of the clutches. I have no real personal hands on with the QX, but expect the same issues/drivetrain/logic and therefore the same pattern failures.

Nicotine isn't the most addictive.

 

 

 

I quit heroin much easier than nicotine, and it was no short term low dollar habit. Between coke and heroin I was on a $3-500 a day habit, so yes I have synapse issues associated with long term and hard core heroin use... Nicotine still owns me to this day.

Exactly point number 1. They still can't make the kind of money they want to on it.

The knowledge is due to the dumbasses who blame everything wrong in America on the evil marijuana

I help with all the production and engineering of the QX60.. Pathfinder and the 4 and 6 cyl Altima's front suspensions and Murano now being they have economized the bushings same fucking part as the QX60

All HEV's for the QX60 goes to Russia nowdays.

I'm happy LSD, DMT, psilocybin, and mescaline aren't like that.

Thanks. She is at 134. Completely fucked.
