dang.. you do the steering wheel test to make sure its straight? make sure to check painted spots for build up.. most people arent that picky but i am.. also if you get a sunny day make sure to look at the car at all angles to make sure the paint matches.. get an extra set of eyes if you can..

Who the fuck shoots children? Too bad the ass didn't live long enough to ride the lightning.

Def considering strongly the pick up of a piece and a concealed carry permit. You just can't go anywhere anymore...

well everyone is beating two drums now, gun control and end of the world.

You know, most crimes like this committed with guns are not obtained or carried legally. So if you took every law abiding American's gun away, the criminals would still have them and be even more likely to use them... just sayin....

You don't want the CCP. Every time you get pulled over and PoPo runs you DL the permit comes up. Then they come back and ask you if you have a weapon in the car, etc. Major PITA. They don't have a smile on thier face anymore. I don't know if what they do if you are packing because I don't take mine to work, but I'll bet they want to secure it until they are done with the stop.

so very true.. it takes someone to pull the trigger just like it takes someone to drive a car.. yet we license idiots everyday. i think if they want to crack down maybe have a psych test done or something.. but even then no one can predict who will snap.. anti gun extremists are worse then the door to door bible thumpers though

not necessarily.. you can advice the officer that you carry then they may just have you come out of the vehicle.. it all depends.. the first thing is to not get pulled over to begin with

^ trouble is I drive like an Italian.

I'm changing up the home audio again. Gonna be crankin' two amps. Running out of space in the cabinet, VHS player might have to go. Thinking about putting in the bedroom.
Do you think Carrie will believe me when I tell her that I want to watch all of her old Disney tapes in bed?

Luckily it looks like everything will fit after-all.
I will need to slide the last amp from right to left, instead of straight back, so it will fit on top of the other one.
Just waiting on the patch cords via eBay.

just read posts on AZ MDX forum. Never been there before.
Newest thread is 2013 owner bitching because he has to use sub-menu on MiD to find outside temp and that the door courtesy lights are dimmer than his old 2005 Pilot.

First and Last peek at MDX forum.

I have a new/used set of speakers coming. It's kind of a gamble, but I can just turn them around and move up to the Klipsch if I don't like them. 9.2??? Now I know why I'm seeing so many receivers on eBay.

I'm just screwing around with things I wanted to own when I was 15, and now I can afford them. My family room is too small for a real multi speaker experience.

Was watching an HK 7.1 with two HDMI imputs on eBay, but it was quickly over my budget. I'd like to eventually go that route, but probably wait to add that with a 3D TV. There are many other toys I'd like to have, but I hesitate to blow mindless amounts of money right now. My 5 year plan includes setting up my own business, which is not cheap. So I'll live with the old (2007) technology for now.

youre gonna want something more then just 2 hdmi.. most the new stuff is 5+ hdmi in and 1 or 2 out.. i would prefer 2 out.. was looking at a recent article i guess with a 9.2 in a normal house invironment is useless. so might just do a 7.2 instead to have the double sub feature saw a pioneer elite i like toss up between that and a yamaha.. i guess sony has a comparible one too.. UGH decisions..

Yep. Was very disappointed when I tried to use the 3rd plug on the back of my newest HDTV (in the bedroom) only to discover it was a "service port." I didn't realize that the 32" TV's typically have only 2 HDMI inputs on the back. If you have all the usual toys in your cabinet that brings you up to at least 2 HDMI plugs. You are SOL if you want to add another system (such as X-box + PS3 + cable). I just wanted to plug in my phone cradle.

most 42 and below only have 2 hdmi because people dont use them as play tvs or main tvs.. usually the 46+ size is the typical main tv where you would see more plug ins.

Don't know what the rating is, but there is reman on eBay right now for $555. Very tempting, but again...I have trouble just getting old stuff in the cabinet without hearing someone bitch about me spending money on such items. She doesn't want me to sell the Bose speakers that were simply a cheap solution until I got something better. But I'll get even by giving them to my slacker brother-in-law for Christmas, that will really piss her off!

Wonder if ol Jay Z has ever taken a moment to think about how his music and his industries music has influenced young people... Oh right, made him a bunch of money so it doesn't matter...

In case America is wondering, it's never guns that are the issue, it usually poor parenting and mental illness. However we cannot put the deranged in asylums because that's in humane. Instead we'll let them roam the streets and commit in humane acts against others... Way to go hippies. Lol

Sorry folks, some people are just plain screwed up, mean, evil, whatever you want to call it. We as a society need to establish who these people are and take care of them as appropriate.

damn! have not sold items in ebay for years and it seems like seller fees hiked up alot!
sold my iphone for $315 shipped and they are taking away $29 in fees plus another $9 for paypal. wow..

not only i'm amazed at seller costs, but also resale value of the iphones. bought mine used for $300 more than a year ago. sold it for $315 shipped (minus the fees...).

thing I don't like CL is too many people calling/messaging about the item and setting up a time to meet up with no guarantee of selling.
