    Gap the PLug !

    skip the iridiums as they're a waste of cash, a bitch to gap (you're not actually supposed to gap them), and can cause issues (glow plug effect, someone had the tiny electrode break off and cause damage...)

    Who Makes (Made) The Best Factory Turbo Car?

    Partial to the Supra as it's an amazing all around car (that and it's mine), but I respect anything fast and well done... especially boosted.

    5 Officers Terminated for beating an unconcious man

    It's not a hole, it's an off base comparison. Speeding and racing is not attempting to kill someone with your car. COuld it kill someone, yes, but it lacks INTENT.

    5 Officers Terminated for beating an unconcious man

    Actually I'd say rookies would have handled it better since they'd have more recent training. Complacency of sitting on their ass writing tickets all day and forgetting their training IMHO... I'll still restate, they had EVERY right to shoot him after he tried to run the officer down...

    5 Officers Terminated for beating an unconcious man

    tbc: military bootcamp compared to police academy is a totally different world. I have friends in both and I'd say the military friends are much better at controlling themselves even in everyday life. I know I'm the odd man out here, and I would have liked to have seen them NOT beat him, but...

    5 Officers Terminated for beating an unconcious man

    No, I just see both sides of the coin. On one hand we're losing our rights, and on the other hand criminals have WAY too many. He tried to run people over, sorry, he loses his rights to life, liberty and property at that point...

    5 Officers Terminated for beating an unconcious man

    Did you not watch the video? He nearly ran a police officer over, he AIMED for him. The longer version of the video (that I can't find damnit) shows him aiming for normal pedestrians as well. Trying to kill an officer with a car = leathal force can be used. LilMiss: I don't consider a...

    You have MUCH more training as well and you saw it day to day. Cops eat donuts and write tickets all day...

    Murder that isn't premeditated is homicide, COMPLETELY different. Rape I'm not going to get into and this is still all apples and oranges.

    5 Officers Terminated for beating an unconcious man

    No, as this wasn't premeditated. Murder is and rape usually is as well. 3-4 seconds from him landing to the cop being on his and he appears to still be moving. How could they have known? We can sit back and say all sorts of things about this, but NONE of us have ever been in the situation.

    They're human, there is no way you're going to control something like that. Unless we have robot cops...

    Can't find the full video, damn media is spinning this against the cops... This man was aiming for pedestrians, the cops had EVERY right to shoot his ass...

    5 Officers Terminated for beating an unconcious man

    They're human, ANYONE in that situation would have done the same, plain and simple. If he wasn't unconcious they wouldn't have been fired.

    5 Officers Terminated for beating an unconcious man

    Watch any other police chase and the same thing happens, it wasn't payback. Should the officers have had disciplinary action against them? Yes. Should they have been fired is another story...

    They were on him within seconds. Adrenaline going and all, they're not going to notice at first. Put ANYONE in that situation and it will happen the same way.

    5 Officers Terminated for beating an unconcious man

    Not that they knew that at the time... He could have been retarded too, but they wouldn't have known it. Like I said, he's lucky he didn't get shot like what usually happens in such chases.

    Your choice, but you still need gaskets, machine the head surface, ect... I wouldn't want to constantly rebuild a motor, I'd rather enjoy the motor than work on it...

    5 Officers Terminated for beating an unconcious man

    For once, I'm gonna disagree and say the bastard deserved it. He was aiming for pedestrians and nearly hit an officer. Trying to run the officer over is enough for them to have shot him. He's luck he's ALIVE, period. If someone tried to run me over and I had a gun I'd shoot first and ask...

    7mgte ski boat?

    Honestly I'd run a heat exchanger instead of messing with the head every season. Head work on a 24 valve head is NOT cheap...
