  1. No, that's completely different from what I said. The guy had his hand in his pocket and was heading towards his vehicle. There's no telling what the motorist could have done, he could've taken off and then the police officer would have had to engage in a pursuit which would've endangered the motorist, the occupant(s) of the vehicle, other motorists, the police officer as well as other police officers who would've joined in the chase. The police officer was completely right for what he did. If the police officer is suspended or punished in some other way, it would be a travesty to not only the officer in question, but police officers everywhere.
  2. The police officer did the right thing. There's no way of knowing what the motorist was going to do. As I always say, better safe than sorry.
  3. Pretty good! But, where's take five?
  4. Quarters Baked Potato or mashed potato
  5. That's pretty funny. Although he should be glad he didn't get caught doing "the monkey." For those of you not in the know, "the monkey" is when you sh!t in your hand and throw it at the toilet. I've yet to try it, and I don't think I ever will.
  6. Meh, even a V8 isn't enough to overcome the embarassment of driving a honda. (Yes, I meant to not capitaloze honda. They don't deserve the time it takes to press the shift key)

    What I mean is, a button that allows us to turn multiple page posts into one long stream. It sure would be easier that clicking through a dozen pages. If there already is such a button, I apologize for my ignorance and beg for your forgiveness. And, if you could point it out to me, I would be very appreciative.
  9. If that was for sale, I'd buy it, return it to stock, and then go see the guy again and ask him what he thinks of my work. I bet his reaction would be hilarious!
  10. It's a hydraulic clutch. So, there's no adjustments to do. Besides, it's only in first gear that it does this.
  11. Hello all, I've got a 1991 Ford Ranger with the standard transmission. My porblem is that it's difficult to put into first gear. Almost like it's catching on something. Perhaps the synchros are bad? The other gears do this also, but not nearly as bad. Sometimes I've got to jiggle the stick around and push hard to get it into first. What do some of you recommend I do about it? This truck has got to last me a few more years until I can afford a new truck. With it's decent fuel economy (around 24 city) and cheap insurance (around $80/month) it's a big money saver, but a pain in the ass to drive. Any opinions on a route of action?
  12. Although a television commercial about checking for buried power lines before digging will tell you that a telephone is the most important tool in your box, I'd have to agree with you about the impact wrench. Although I despise people that use them to "torque" lug nuts. Besides, who keeps a phone IN their tool box? That commercial seems fishy altogether. The guys shed is like 5x8x6, yet he pulls a 15 foot piece of pvc pipe out of it.

  14. If you go to the top of the forums and click on "FAQ", you can go on down to a question titled, "What are referrals?" It reads as follows:
  15. I know this is an old post, but I just felt like commenting: I'm surprised a forum for women doesn't have a "bitch slap" smiley. Or a "topless pillow fight" smiley. Carry on folks... [edited for grammar mistakes]
  16. I say be like the guy in your avatar and fill the guy with lead. Seriously though, talk to the guy and see if you can't get your money back (or atleast most of it). One thing you should definitely not do, is talk bad about the shop to other shops. If another shops asks you about the previous shop, simply say you were not happy with the work and change the subject. I've found that often times other shops will not want to deal with you if you're the type that badmouths others because they'll be afraid they won't be able to please you and you'll badmouth them as well.
  17. No need for sarcasm. I did not mean for my post to offend you. I apoligize if it did. You've been a member here for a long time. You should know by now that anything on the internet that people find interesting has probably been posted before.
  18. Very nice truck! Is this your first diesel?
  19. This makes four times that this link has been posted. http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=127430 http://forums.hybridz.org//showthread.php?t=127323 http://forums.hybridz.org//showthread.php?t=127311 Who wants to bet it'll be posted a fifth time?
  20. This makes three times that this link has been posted. http://forums.hybridz.org//showthread.php?t=127323 http://forums.hybridz.org//showthread.php?t=127311 Cool pictures, nonetheless.
  21. That's awesome! Great choice of music for the video too! I was actually listening to that song before I played the video.
  22. What's the big deal? I mean, the guy used bungie cords AND duct tape. That sounds safe enough to me. He also had the kindness to duct tape a towel on the kids head to protect him. If that's not a good father, I don't know what is. BTW, I'm kidding. The guy should be strung up and beaten. Then his bike should be destroyed in front of him. Or better yet, destroyed with him on it. I tell you what, some people.
  23. Trade it in on an '06 350Z! If you want something more practical, how about an older Q45? Or maybe a new Altima or Maxima? How about a G35 Sedan?
  24. I not sea the bid geal abot gramar an dspeling. I meen" who cars? Reely? But seriously, I think people should atleast attempt to get their point across with somewhat correct grammar and spelling. One thing, though, I don't see any of you with your talk of spelling, grammar, and being clear of what one is saying, is the fact that many people don't seem to know what things are called. These people give things nicknames that other do not understand. One I don't like is, "dizzy" in reference to a distributor. Countless times I've seen people ask what a "dizzy" is. Why not just say distributor? Don't have time to write it out? This is sort of the same thing that others have mentioned about the usage of a single letter to mean an entire word. The one I dislike the most out of any nickname or what have you is the use of "motor." The word is engine. Say it with me now, E-N-G-I-N-E, not "motor." I sometimes wonder if these people know the difference between a motor and an engine. Here's a quick definition, a motor converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. An engine converts chemical energy into mechanical energy. Thanks for reading! BTW, the only problem I have with writing, is when to start a new paragraph, as you can see.
