Yeah pigeon, I'm watching you!

Actually, I know you just love my car and want to buy it. You're putting a deposit down on it. (I know...pretty bad...)

Just tropical storms/depressions benefit everyone water-wise around us. Carolinas, GA,AL, MS, and sometimes LA and TX if bands are thrown out that far.

^ True, hurricanes suck but I'd rather deal with those than a tornado or earth quake.

Don't forget to add blizzards to the list. At least you have plenty of time to prepare for a hurricane.

Been in three hurricanes (Charlie, Francis, and Jeanne in 2004). Got hit with Charlie's eyewall as a Cat 2. Not fun during or after. Think mid-August in Orlando with no power. Bought a generator in time for Francis and Jeanne. Live and learn...

The more you post, the more you lose. So stop posting so much and your points will go up.

Yeah that gun thread moves slow but we have some knowledgable people that visit here and its all in the A-zine family.

I just sold my twin beretta 96g's a while back.

Working on getting pieces to build my next AR. And we just nailed with high winds, hail and tornado warnings in West Texas, Southeast New Mexico Monday. I would know I was standing outside during the whole storm.

Unfortunately my job requires not to be a pussy while watching lightning strike the ground within a couple hundred yards while outside on metal equipment working next to a drilling rig standing 100+ feet high lol.

Thank you SIQ.

sounds like a hell of a job. Also, I'd be in to see pics of this AR build, my brother just built one in a 6.8, probably my favorite assault rifle body.

I can't stand emailing retards. Work is definately annoying today.

It's funny when we were young learning calc and trig we always said "I'll never use this"

That turned out to be true for me but I swear some dumb mf'ers used that thinking in elementary but yet those same fuckers run companies.

Who the eff dosent know basic math, or runs a fuckin winery and dosent know gallon configurations? How do you make money retards!!!!

Yeah I was really gunning (pun intended) for a 6.8 SPC build but I have 20 - 30 round mags for my AR in 5.56 so I will be pursuing a .300 AAC Blackout round since I will only need the upper receiver and really only the barrel.

I just installed the front A-Spec under spoiler for my TL Type S, but I can't get the front spoiler to sit right on the bumper! The stickers that the spoiler attaches to the bumper don't stick very well and there is a gap between the bumper and the spoiler. How do I get that to sit right? I followed the directions on the PDR instructions, but it does not want to be flush.

^you peel off all the tape? clean the areas with alcohol before pressing the lip on?

since you already have it on...i would leave it. just get some emblem adhesive and something thin (like a Qtip) and apply the adhesive on the area that isn't flush...then press and hold until it bonds.

also you gotta keep in mind that everyones car is a little different. nothing will be perfect.

Would Goo off and then emblem adhesive work? What would be a good brand?

3M double sided body panel tape is the only way to go.

I would actually take all the OEM tape off and replace it with wider, better, 3M tape.

Goo Off will help but I have to admit that tape can be a PITA to get off 100%. But since it's new it may not be that bad.
