VW = Complete turd.
Get them to replace the motor son. From what I know, you can't just replace the rings and go. It ain't that simple.

But I think I have more shots of Leh Keen going off on the straight at NJMP and making dirt clouds.
I know he had surgery, ****s still weak, lol. Thai and I got up close and personal with the FXDD Ferrari at one of the events at NJMP. I forgot which one. But the team was preparing the car. I think I got a pic of one of the techs polishing the wheels.

Besides it's nice having a safe for documents, cash, etc.
You think you're gonna have the safe open by the time they reach your ***? It doesn't take me much time to reach into my closet and rounds as its within arms length of my bed. I used to keep it loaded, but no longer do. My house has an alarm system with motion detectors, and sensors on all doors. You can't get pass any door or window without the loud warning. And there are two shooters in my house...

I am not sure you can split an HDMI signal (please do not use component wires, stick to a cheap HDMI cable). Personally I just have a cable box at each TV. You may be able to just run a cable to tv and watch your non premium channels. You probably could get a cable card for TV but all that is a hassle and will cost you $ upfront. Just pay the $5-10 box rental fee and keep it easy peezy.
If you need any HDMI or sound cables try Monoprice or Blue Jeans Cable. DO NOT pay a lot for HDMI cable, waste of $ since it is a digital signal. Monoprice also sell TV wallmounts on the cheap if you need that.

You think a professional thief cannot get past your security? Doubt it, someone who knows what there doing can circumvent a security system. Hard to circumvent a bullet to the chest though. We have 2 little dogs that bark at everything, so I would know if someone was in the house. My gun is in my office, so I would have to run out of bedroom, down my short hallway, get gun, load clip, pull the thingy on top back then bust a cap in the fools in my house. Sounds like I would be screwed too. Only way a gun is true protection is what Chu said, gun needs to be in close proximity to where you sleep. After typing this I am going to put it in my bedroom closet on a high shelf where my little dude cannot get to it.
Chu I have not shown my son the gun and will not show him until later in life. He is curious and I think the opposite of how you do, he does not need to be involved in firearms at such a young age. Maybe when he is a few years older I will have the conversation and let him see the gun. My father never showed me any guns, but I think I found his 22 in our garage when I was 12 or 13. When I found it I already knew all about guns and how dangerous they are. I was even playing around with it after I made sure there were no bullets in it. My point is I learned on my own, no one educated me on guns besides Hollywood and the video games I was playin.
When I first moved into my house I had a bullmastiff. I decided he was alarm enough and a great deterrent (138 lbs of muscle with a big head). Got my gun after 911 because I was ready to goto war with some Arabs, Red Dawn up in here!!

Aint no one gonna Tread on Me!

Mike, you make a good point about the professional thief. But I live in the ghetto. Any professional thief would not find his/her time spent wisely trying to rob a house in the ghetto. Having said that, the security system is just another added feature, not end all. My security system allows 30 seconds for disarm, and then automatically alerts authorities. In few occasions where I wasn't paying attention and didn't disarm in 30 secs, the alarm sounded, and a call came to my house within seconds. I feel a sense of comfort knowing there's something other than me awaken by the sound of intruders and caught off guard.

Also, we have a WII and I've heard you can watch tv, surf the interwebz thru that.
yeah you gotta rent a second cable box from verizon. get the whole home dvr its great, runs over the modem. i have been nothing but pleased with my verizon service...although it is a tad pricey.


heres my silly question of the day - stick on vs clip on wheel weights who runs what? i need to get two wheels rebalanced because my stick ons melted off.

stick on weights for the wheels. Use aluminum tape to hold them on. You can get the tape at lowes in the heat venting area.

Duct tape also works well in holding the stick-on weights in place.
