    I love it! I got it tinted today - and I waxed it again for the second time since I bought it - (trying to get 4-5 coats on it before bug season)

    Put the BT tech plate in - got mudflaps and my sharkfin on the way... Just put in a leather steering wheel and debating the coastaltech mods....


    I got 75MPG for a 10 minute stretch - was crazy! Pulse and Glide baby!!!!

    Still trying to figure out how the hell to "Warp glide" or "Deadband"

    Most of what is in that speach... is true.



    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(robincx @ May 9 2007, 08:48 PM) [snapback]438689[/snapback]</div>

    Oh yah - Forgot - I'd rather give my hard earned dollars to the Japs instead of OPEC scumbags.


    Thanks for playing...

    The ignore feature works well on this site. I'm going to have to start using it again with his current track record as an indicator of his personality....

    Hey - that's not nice..

    I'm just another person having fun in Fred's House of Pancakes...

    Just because we vote differently doesn't mean I'm any less of a human than you are..


    CERTAINLY not grounds for ignoring me... *sniffs*

    I mean.. I thought "you people" were supposed to be all caring, loving and accepting of any culture or something like that.... Doesn't seam the "liberal" way to go around ignoring those less fortunate than you...

    Now does it...

    "Oh, that is all well and good, but, voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country."

    Thank you for the PM. :)

    I had WILDKOW on ignore for awhile too because he posted similar things frequently, same with dbermanmd. I've gotten to know them better and actually like them despite our diametrically opposed views. Differences of opinion are fine and in a lot of cases good for us. Promoting negativity or inviting hostilities is just not my cup of tea. Go post up a pic and join the darkside of FHoP, Wildkow would love to have ya. ;)

    Hey bigmahma! :D

    Nice post, can’t wait to see a impersonator do this and dl it to youtube! I see you joined the priuschat folding team, thank you very much. It's nice to see someone really concerned about science and willing to do something other than talk.
    Good luck with this crowd hope you have a thick skin because as much as they like to talk about tolerance and respecting others POV, very little of that happens here. <_< Usually as soon as you start hitting them with the truth they start talking about the ignore feature. LOL! :lol: But don't worry they never do it becuase now they have another poster they can insult which is their favorite passtime. :rolleyes:

    Wildkow

    p.s. Oh BTW, the rule against personal attacks on this board only applies to conservatives and independents (with non-liberal POV's) not liberals. :p

    The "truth" is rooted in biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics and implied through history. Learn those subjects using an organic mindset and you'll realize how rediculous our economy really is. ;)

    Unless of course it's for real then the people just stick their heads up their nice person or into the sand if its available and hope it goes away. <_< :lol:

    It was actually an interview during a break in the trials.

    "Why, of course, the people don't want war," Goering shrugged. "Why would some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best that he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece. Naturally, the common people don't want war; neither in Russia nor in England nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist dictatorship."

    There is one difference," I pointed out. "In a democracy the people have some say in the matter through their elected representatives, and in the United States only Congress can declare wars."

    "Oh, that is all well and good, but, voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country."
