Well SC, I'm glad to see we can pretty much agree here. The current tax setup is a joke and a dinosaur. First we're over taxed, and the whole country suffers. It's been shown that a total tax burden of 25% (income, sales, property - everything!) provides the best economic growth, government...

Good post Nick. It's amazing how clear things can be in a well thought out example, and when you cut the traditional "Dems are for the poor, Reps are for the rich" stereotypes and simply look at common sense facts.

I've hated my auto, but I would like to change that. I've been thinking about the Suprastick, but it sounds like I have a couple of other things to do first. With the gas to the floor I can't get past 4,500 rpm in 1st gear and high 4's in second. I never come close to redline. Even with the...

I can't see getting violent over this, but a blow up doll? That's more my style, but I have a feeling human resources might have something to say about it...

:wuteva: Now what are you getting all nasty for? So because a few people I work with like to think their funny and I don't want to be bothered with taking my targa off and putting it on a couple of times a day when it's nice out makes me a pussy and makes MKIII owners look bad? That's...

Okay, I'll take your warnings - maybe nothing more than a capacitor. It's not worth much risk, I just thought it would be fun to put a harmless stop to things. Thanks to a couple of posts I'm starting to look into a cheap alarm system with a microwave sensor. I've been a little worried about...

:bigthumb: Now THAT's an idea! Has anybody ever figured out a way to use anything like a bicycle tire quick release or something similar for quick install/removal?

That's just no fun at all, and it's a pain I shouldn't have to deal with. I'd like to put an end to it nice and quiet, that's all. Ever get a good static zap climbing out of a car? I just thought figuring out how to let one of my idiot coworkers complete a circuit to the ground with just a...

I'm with you, Joel. I was thinking a "little" shock - like you get from a gag pen kind of jolt. There is no way I would mess with any electric fences and hurting somebody is definitely not a part of the plan. Of course, if anybody has any less shocking ideas on a deterrent, I'm all ears...

It seems that leaving the targa off at work is an open invitation to mess with my car (steering wheel & seats moved, wipers on, xm antenna moved to the door, etc). It's getting old and eI'm ready to strike back. Is there an easy and cheap way to set my car up with a battery so that anybody who...

Okay, I'll say it... Structural engineer = civil engineer Now don't go getting all 'uncivil' about that. :biglaugh:

Okay, yeah. A feller buncher grabs the trunk and cuts it, then flips the tree on its side and takes the branches off and cuts to length as it goes through the pinch rollers holding it. I'd like to see the video of what you're talking about - it's new to me, but the forestry department in...

I'm a Wood Scientist - B.S. and M.S. (no bs!), and work with engineered wood products as a technical service rep. I'm not sure that counts, but is probably one of the weirder technical degrees you'll find on this forum.

This is knows as a "Feller Buncher". Badass.

Nothing but compliments for me. Well almost - my neighbor swears at anything foreign but that's it. When you go from a base 4 door Saturn for nine years to a targa turbo in red you find out that a car can turn heads. Some comments: "Wow, is that a turbo?" "Nice car - you paid what? Where...

I certainly agree that SC laid down a well thought out and provoking position, but it is still problematic. The main problem with Libertarianism and his position that God would be happy with Libertarianism is that we have a moral responisibility to protect innocence (children, in particular)...

Hey, thanks for coming out Steve & Aaron - it was good to meet you guys. Dave, we can definitely do it again on a Tuesday, since it sounds like that works for you. Maybe with a bit more notice and a slight time adjustment a few more can make out it, too. Any word on a small Louisville...

Well put, MDC. Thanks.

:nono: Crickets chirping. Supracentral, I'm not upset at your attempt to touch a nerve, but your rage toward God and Christians in particular is sobering. I hope that something changes in whatever time you have left. For the rest of you who beat us down and insist that there has been...
