#2 2.2 kg/cm^2 should be about 31 psi, I believe. I am currently running about 40 psi using 10W-40 synthetic oil at a constant highway speed, but I was closer to 30 when I was using 10W-30 syn. I might get corrected here, but I believe those pressures are typical. #6 I agree with...

Just to keep things complicated, don't they have a drag strip at the track near West Point that might-could (translated for you Alabamians :icon_bigg ) use? If it ended up where we could race near Louisville, would anybody mind if a non-Supra showed up for a run or two? My step-daughter's...

Ahhh, but I didn't say what the majority of people would do - just a very sad few. Again, I would challenge you to show me "responsible" meth use. For things in which there is absolutely no value to society what-so-ever, make it illegal.

Argumentum whatthefukium: If you can find somebody who will do something, then legalize it. Can anybody else see the problem with this line of thinking?

I want a new job. :icon_conf

I respectfully disagree. It does in fact harm many people other than the addicted. Lack of empathy does not change the fact, nor does pretending that it isn't true, nor does dehumanizing the victim. All drugs, really? Crack? And if so the benefits have been what, exactly? Have you...

There's a big difference between alcohol (or even marijuana) and hardcore drugs. The former can be used moderately and reasonably - they can also be abused, but you're right - prohibition of alcohol was a really stupid idea. I travel for work quite a bit, and if there's one thing I hate, it's...

No more bikes for me. :icon_cry: I had a really bad problem with shoulder dislocations from the last one I had - until I had three screws put into it. I miss it...

I seriously wish it were as simple as "just tax it", but there are a couple of problems, and I will jump on the biggest one first: 1. It is inaccurate to say that drugs/drug addiction only hurt the addicted, and it is a disservice to every spouse, child, parent, sibling, or friend who...

You don't have to rely on JJ or Adjuster on the possible consequences of too frequent oil changes. I've done some reading and found other studies that supported waiting 6,000 miles or longer. Do some Google searching. I think I've seen enough to be convinced, and I've decided to run 10W-40...

A little off topic, but I saw a red NA targa parked at the Gaslight Festival tonight just up the street from the school where mine was parked. It was dark, but looked like the cleanest I've seen in a while. Anybody here?

Nick, I'm looking forward to the post. I have always believed that bleeding heart libs make a lot of noise, but it's the "heartless wealthy right" that actually gets it done when it comes to charitable donations. Edit: Oh yeah, and remember that nobody gives money charitably to the...

Well that's a start toward accountability at least. And it has the benefit of not requiring a bloody revolution like my idea :biglaugh:

Just for clarification Aaron, I never looked at the 10% as "forced charity". I did look it as a civic responsibility to support the societal needs that the government has no real interest or business fulfilling. Remember that this premise means no more than 20-25% total tax based on...

Add half as much fun to drive to 97sti's list of auto disadvantages. 5 speed swap is HIGH on my list of priorities. Anybody in Louisville with a 5 speed to sell might want to start thinking of an asking price - it will be within a year...

I should have probably posted on the Money/Root thread, but I was taking a break at the time, whew! :icon_bigg I can almost agree, but I believe that money is neither good nor bad - it's just a thing. People decide whether to use it for good or evil, just like any other inanimate object...

Libertarian, eh? That's interesting, because I thought of it as capitalism at its purest by taking power from the government and letting the free market dictate social policy - something the world has always said 'has' to be handled by governments. IDK, maybe that is libertarian-like, but...

I just got finished with 2 weeks of jury duty and 3 hours ain't a thing. Get there at 9 am, 40 out of 250 get called right away and the rest of us sit there until noon when my number gets called and everybody else goes home. Break for lunch and come back at 1:00. Sit until 3:30 and then find...

Well, I hoped this political thread would just be for fun for a change, Weezl. ;) I was just asking for some of the people who had spoken up a lot - not because I have a beef with anybody. About the big business end of politics, this concept would pull a lot of the $$$ right out of the...

So I've had this crazy idea of the perfect government for a while, shared it with a few people for fun, had some interesting comments, and wanted to see what some of our politically outspoken members had to say about it. (ahem, Supracentral, Nick M, Weezle, Joel W, and a few others...) The...
