    Buying a car?

    Ohhh come on, in no scenario is 50 more HP a bad thing! It's an awesome car, and im so glad we have a smaller lighter RWD car on the market now. TRD is already developing a supercharger available from dealerships, i think the numbers i saw were an additional 30-35hp/tq. Rumor has it an STI...

    Buying a car?

    Toyoburu needs 50 more horsepower. Still, its bad ass from everything i have read. I saw my first one on the road yesterday, it looked fantastic.

    100% yes. A lot of it is where you live though. I don't know a single person around here that does not own a gun. Hell, I'm sitting in my car right now and have 3 in the trunk and 1 on my hip. I don't carry often though, was just doing some work late in a shady area of town.

    Buying a car?

    I'm not a big fan of electric, but the Tesla S is rad as hell. Way out of my price range but I think what they are doing is good for the market.

    Buying a car?

    If that thing had the 6 cyl from the new es350 I would go buy one tomorrow morning. Sucks I can't spend my money!!! Found a nice 08 Mini S with 40k miles for 13.5, think I can get it for 12.5. I think I will pull the trigger on it. Drive it for 2-3 years and save up 20k for down on whatever...

    I like that! Hatches and wagons make my pants tight. I would probably kill someone for a new Audi RS4 Avant. Please dont tempt me.

    Buying a car?

    This is what ive always heard too. However you can offset costs by learning to do it yourself. A lot of the issues they have are electrical, power window switches, power seats, door locks etc. Usually a pretty easy fix if you take the time to learn. If that doesnt appeal to you at all, then F...

    As a generalization across the country? Yes i think they do. In the areas of the country with the most violence? No, i dont think they do at all. Look at the worst places we have, Los Angeles, DC, Chicago parts of AL and LA... It is poor white trash/ethnics/martians that are horrible parents...

    Buying a car?

    I drove for almost 2 years on expired tags when i moved back from Florida. I was involved in an accident in FL, took out a small citylight pole avoiding a drunk driver and somehow Orange county decided to bill me the 76k to replace the pole. I had no idea for a little over a year, and didnt find...

    I agree with you Aych. I really hope i dont come off as some uncarring bastard, because i really do care. But... Shit happens. It sucks, it really does, but until our society as a whole changes it is going to continue to happen. Throwing more money at issues and preventative regulations RARELY...

    Such a joke. So it's the AWB with 1 restriction instead of 2. Go go Illinois. Look, I get it if people don't like guns and don't want them around. I have no problem with honesty. But trying to bring something like that to legislation under the pretense of stopping gun violence. Don't fucking...

    Ecco's are a bit more expensive, but like Tarrant said, they last. My current pair stood up to a year and a half of owning a restaurant and are still in good enough shape.

    The Aurora think was a nightmare scenario all around. I had some in depth conversations with everyone from SWAT, to LEO admin and even a few active spec ops type guys and the general conclusion to that scenario is nothing short of a prepped entry team could have done much. Crowd + smoke +...

    See, i still disagree with this completely. On some level you are correct, as we can generalize everything. If you take Suzie who bought a Glock for home defense and has kept it in a drawer by her bed for the past 5 years then yes, you are right. However if you take someone who is a...

    Just wanted to mention Ecco dress shoes. I've been wearing them for 2 years now and have been extremely impressed. Ultra comfortable and wear very well. I'm retarded and have identical styles in black and brown. I need driving gloves. Must be very thing and form fitting. Non lined. Looking to...

    Does anyone have a Mini? I'm looking for an 07+ Hardtop S model. I drive about 200 miles a day and want something fun to drive that still gets good mpg. I've done my homework and haven't found any glaring issues, maintenance is a bit higher than some but they sound fairly easy to wrench on...

    Buying a car?

    Taking into acct that car sales are doing pretty good right now, I doubt you will get the kind of deal you are hoping for. You will no doubt get something, but I doubt it's more than a few percent. Unless you have a particular new model in mind, find a 2010-12 model something with 10k miles...

    You are right, it is generalizations on both sides. And my social circles are not representative of the whole. But saying this as someone who has spend thousands of hours shooting with and training officers, I am amazed by thier lack of skill and training. Our auxiliary police chief shot...

    Gun control

    This absolutely untrue in many areas of the country. I would much rather have 5 random folks from around here in that situation than 90% of any law enforcement officer. I have nothing but respect to any officer of the law, but the overwhelming majority are worthless behind a trigger.

    Buying a car?

    I don't think you can buy a "bad" new car today, so it all comes down to personal preference. The Optima is IMO the best looking non luxury mid size sedan, but it doesn't drive as good as the Accord or Altima. Both the Honda and Nissan just feel more connected to the road. One new car in...

    New Accord is getting freaking great reviews. The V6 is damn quick. Its funny when a V6 family sedan starts getting better performance numbers than supercars from the 80's.

    Gun control

    Access to small arms means the ability to gain access to larger arms. In any event that US soldiers were ordered to attack civilian targets with heavy arms/armor there would be instant defections and the military as we know it would be in complete disarray. There have been a number of scenarios...

    I'm 99% sure it was some 55 or 62 gr milsurp ammo, which is pretty poor for wound trauma. But against 50lb kids a .22 LR would have been just as effective.

    I would like to see CCW live fire requirements beefed up some. Require something like an IDPA or USPSA classifier that calls for a few reloads and transitions. The cost would have to go up, but I think it would be worth it.

    I really don't like the Mini coupe, just looks ugly IMO. I love the regular ones though, will be picking up an 07+ Cooper S in a few weeks. I wouldn't even look at a non S model though.

    Yeah, shooting is expensive. Even reloading my own ammo I go through $500 a month on a good month. Most self defense type ammo is roughly a buck a round.

    Gun control

    If you shoot a box (50rnds) of ammo a month you are getting roughly 10x more trigger time than most officers. We have a few officers in our local competitions, and from what they say your average patrolman is EXTREMELY unprepared for any type of armed conflict. Our local PD's require...
