^^that's rough. Drinking + driving + speeding = death every time, you may get away with it a few times but it'll get you eventually.

Even though sometimes I hate what the police do I will say I did alot of stupid shit when i was a kid and if it wasn't for the police pulling me over I could very well have been like that young man.

He made a lotta stupid decisions Monday night, there's no doubt about it. It just always sucks when someone is taken so early in life.
I'm glad I nvr got into heavy drinking like some of my friends. And I'm glad I worked my ass off every summer for four years to be able to buy my car cuz that deters me from ever touching my car even if I have been out with some friends. I just wish he had had a friend like me there that night who would not have let him leave. Ish just got outta hand and now those who loved him are paying the price. RIP Jose...

So, when i lowered my car last week i only had about a 1/4 tank of gas...thought nothing of it.

Yesterday i filled up and the added weight of 13.5 gallons makes it so i rub enough through every turn that i throw smoke off the back tires.....



awesome.

Doubt it will do anything more than when it was at -1.5deg.

What kills tires is toe settings being out.

LOL me and my buddys got into that back in the day.

My friends would get so pissed at me because I would get lucky.

So what time tonight Blue?

P.S. do you work tomorrow? I think I'm going to go shooting outside of town here if you want to come around 9 am.

PSS. If i had the cash I would buy your toy, trade for ammo? =p I have 2k rounds of 9mm and a few hundred of other calibers to barter with.

Hi kids...

In the latest edition of 'How the State Legislature Screwed Up Oregon', the morons made it illegal for the gas attendants to top off your tank. So...if it comes to $44.02, you better make room for spare change because running it to $44.25 could land the station a huge fine.

God I hate this place.

What?! That's absolute crap. I don't normally have em top it off anyways cuz I usually pay with a card but that's hella dumb. I hate carrying around change. So now I can never fill up with cash. And we all know it's cuz some dumb kid at a gas station effed up one person's car by doing it so now we all have to pay the price.

Yeah our legislature may be nuts for a variety of reasons, but frankly I'm glad that I don't have to worry about those idiots topping off my car anymore.

It's so bad for the fuel pump. There needs to be space in there for the fuel to expand so the fuel pump has an easier job of equalizing the fuel pressure. It's the same reason why you should never run your car too close to empty. If there's not enough fuel then the fuel pump has to work harder to keep the pressure up as well.

I'm always having to yell at the attendant to not top it off. God I wish we could just pump our own gas.

Don't get me started on the Ethanol requirement....just a facade that makes it look like they're actually doing something about "global warming". Idiots.

When is his term up again? That man is a complete blithering idiot and a Communist to boot.

This new law dashed any hopes in my mind of that ever happening. Not only do they not trust the general public...they don't trust the 'authorized individuals' to do it right. This place is turning into a little socialist police state.

Well teddy is not the only communist, I mean BO is a card carrying communist and in fact gave lectures at ivy league universities about the "benefits" of communism. Lets not forgot he gave the states the power to pass their own environmental restrictions.

I don't like my tank being topped off for the same reason Jay pointed out, but the infuriating part is that they made a law about it. I mean we spend millions for those idiots to come together for literally 2 weeks out of the year and this is all they can come up with.

Portland has the highest unemployment increase in the nation, Oregon has one of the highest unemployment rates in the nation and all our governor can do is think about the environment? Seems like a cop-out to me...

You want some 9mm for .22?

I'll have to check my supply of .22, I think I have 1k.

Ouch, I'm sure you know but just surf Ebay. I got a ingalls kit for my car brand new for another 100 I think. Pretty easy to adjust, but I'd let a shop to the full alignment.

That's what I need to do next after the tint.


Clee, I have a new found respect for you.. NOBAMA

Ohhhhh, gotcha.

I couldn't figure out what you were trying to say.

My 870 only takes 3" but I'll go check the 1100 right now.


No dice Blue. Now how about some .22 for the Tec?

Yeah I have no idea, I would figure you do need a class 3, but then again that's only for buying them and registering them.

^ True, I mean I understand why the law is there in the first place, but come the hell on.

Does anybody know exactly where their salary comes from? Out of state idiots like to say that gas prices are higher, but those are people who don't leave their own state.

And also, I was probing this guy about the law and if at all I can pump my own gas, and he told me you're only allowed to pump your own diesel, why is this?

I'm sorry but I hate that arguing point. Minimum wage peeps losing their jobs is the cause of our economic crisis? Give me a break.

They believe it is less of a fire hazard than gasoline (true). I think it had a LOT to do with truckers getting regular gasoline put into their big-rigs but this gives me yet another reason to put an Audi A3 TDI on my short list of new cars to consider when I go trolling for a new car in a few years.
