  2. And a 2nd spare tire. That way you can avoid being charged big buck at an out of the way tire shop. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?
  3. She bought me a GoPro, and I bought her a Carmen Electra stripper pole. I kid you not!
  4. oh man, i remember the jim jones thing... thanks for making me feel my age. on the mac thing, you will like it. we are a PC/Mac family, and we all get along.
  5. DeLand. I was trained there... did 8 jumps a day in January. :) ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?

  7. yup my biggest problem at the moment is whether I can make the drive from LAX to ONT through LA traffic and not miss my connection to SEA that,.. is all about timing. i live here. go middle of day... leaving 2 pm at latest... or you gotta wait till after... hmmm 6:45pm ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?
  8. I dont have a shitty job, well, then hopefully, you like your job even more. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?
  9. So I know as skydivers, we all crave not to work and jump all day. On Sunday I watch this story on 60minutes, and it made me appreciate the fact that I have a job, even if it is only contract work, its a paying job. Take 15 minutes and watch, I think you will look at your shitty job in a new way. http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cbsnews.com%2F8301-18560_162-57330802%2Fhard-times-generation-families-living-in-cars%2F%3Ftag%3DcontentMain%253BcbsCarousel&h=dAQGK_HwbAQFgFfrDo8Sws4uLESmsdBXRvzJ3Z1QuhJtSBw ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?
  10. this come through on FB... very fitting to this discussion. and i totally agree with what he has to say. http://player.vimeo.com/video/20789680?autoplay=1 ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?
  11. Sounds... great? and the old ones corner like shit,, great for straight line drags in their day but not much else. with a few mods, it corners "ok." however, yes, i like to tell people it likes to go fast, real fast, and does not like to turn or stop. but i am from an era of stoplight to stoplight racing... for pinks and cash. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?
  12. agreed. i can't believe the power modern bikes have....unreal. what i like about the older VMax is that it is a squirrelly ride... like an old muscle car, big power, frame that can't handle it, crazy wobbles... keeps you thinking. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?
  13. Been riding for 24 years... still have this one, and a XT 550 which is in pieces in the garage. I read the article and had to go for a ride on the VMax. Really rode hard and only average 20 mpg. . Carbs? yeah, it has four pain in the ass carbs... good thing I know the tuner people at Yamaha Motor corp. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?
  14. I do that in my manual xmission car. I don't know how the big trucks work, but at least in Saabs, once you know your RPM's, you can shift seamlessly without a clutch. Downshifting is a practice of perfect throttle blip. no kidding! ever since i learned to float gears in a kenworth, i only use the clutch to get started...and the best part, my wife can do the same thing! :) ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?
  15. Way too Stepford for me! hahaha!. all kidding aside. driven both. prefer manual when no traffic, automatic in traffic.. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?
  16. i drive a sexy automatic... my wife. :) ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?
  17. no shit.. just tell some crackheads that there is a bunch of metal laying around and it will be gone by morning. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?
