Sad to say, now that I think about it there's a guy I work with whose daughter burned up two engines by running them out of oil. I guess there are people out there with IQ's lower than idiot lights. Makes me want to cry.

Tranny oil instead of engine oil is only half the problem here. Who the hell equates oil idiot light with CEL and just ignores it? It would be fun to create an account somewhere and come up with something this stupid just to see if it ended up in OT here and every other car forum. I just...

Can't be real. It's just too damn stupid...

All in all, to answer the original question, caliber size is one consideration, but like option 3 in the poll said, "Both have their place". I think it comes down to more of a prioritization of the following: Caliber (big & slow / small and fast) Purpose (Concealed Carry vs Home Defense...

FWIW, here are the reasons for the choices I made: * 9mm Cougar 8000 for home defense: This was my first pistol, and I bought it in 9mm, because it was the highest powered caliber that every adult in the house could shoot. My wife and stepdaughter are both comfortable with it. It's all...

Maybe a little off topic, but I have always wanted to see a cross breed of a male: chihuahua with a female English mastiff Mix up the world's smallest and the world's largest dog breeds and see what comes out! I don't know if this has ever been done, but I want one! :D

That is the best thing I've seen in a LONG time! :bigthumb: Wasps are badass!

Uh, wouldn't that be the right lane there IJ? :sarcasm: Seriously, lets just hope this sets an example for the rest of the country and that it gets followed. I only hope these dingbats who think the law is 'absurd' are in the minority, but somehow I doubt it... :nono:

...and I'm just agreeing. It must be intoxicating to know you have the power to upset and intimidate an elderly woman. The rest of us can only dream...

So one of the cylinders gets the "master rod" (i.e. the thicker one that's fixed at the crank)? If that's right is there something special about that particular cylinder? It seems to me it couldn't work like that... I might have to take a look at howstuffworks.com, because me head's starting...

Wow Aaron... I'm shocked that this crap happens anymore and bothered like hell that it's this close to home, not that location matters. It's probably a good thing it didn't make the news because that's probably what the tards wanted, but bad that the cops don't know since she needs to be...

I looked at the Mil Pro a while ago, but it was sie by side against the KT - BIG difference when you're used to dropping a pistol into a pair of jeans you're outgrowing. :) I compared specs between the Kahr and MP the other day, and they are definitely very similar. The main dimension that...

I've carried my KelTec P3AT .380 religiously in my pocket for as long as I've had it - maybe 9 months now. I am a serious fan of small autos because of the ease of concealment, and I think I've decided the perfect carry piece to graduate to is this... Behold the Kahr PM9! I am...

I'm betting on Jay Junior or maybe Billy-Bob. One thing's for sure; he'll be a 1J freak. :biglaugh:

Instead of starting a new thread, can sombody tell me anything about Mahle piston rings? Good, bad, worth it, don't even think about it? It ain't going big like JE, Jay, but at least they're not ebay cheapies either. :D Check 'em out...

You hate the 7M, and been there / done that with the 1J. It's time to 2J Vixen's car!!!!

Yessir, definitely considering it. :) Thanks Doc - that was just the input I was looking for. :bigthumb:

So at "only" 400 hp and not trying to run higher engine speeds there aren't any known cases of failure due to reusing stock studs/bolts? That's what I suspected... I was planning on running stock cams and maybe upgrading the valve springs, but no higher revs. If the mains are not known to...

You an me both :yumyum: Sushi has turned into my all time favorite!

I'm ready to take my block to the machine shop, but I need to decide whether I'm going to reuse the stock studs/bolts or upgrade to ARP's. In the end it boils down to assuming risk of failure on the stockers, but I need to know what the risk actually is - especially at 350 to 400 whp. Who...
