That sounds ridiculous! On another note. Does anyone remember a post here about a pipe mount for storing wheels in a garage?

Is Off Topic: The Thread dead? Man I used to come here every night and read y'all's funny AF comments.

"Appraised at $75,000" lol by the owner I'm sure. Excellent condition minus the torn seat and nowhere near enough pics even for the asking price let alone at $75k car. Joker. To bad after modding a car you don't get the cost or time back, ever. I can hear him telling lookers, I have $$$ into it! Oh and the engine pic does seem to show the hood open further than the pic with the hood only partially opened.

Wow, quite a range of price, $50-75 on fb and there was one that went recently on eBay for $300 BIN. I'll have to unbox mine and take a bunch of pics. I'm trying to remember the details, I picked it up from a SS user in Florida who works at an auto salvage place but I can't remember who that was and I haven't found the PMs about it yet either it was from a low mileage GLT but it should be in very good condition.

What fb groups did you use for BST Volvo stuff?

What is a 16T with angled flange going for these days? I have a low mileage one that has been in a box for a couple years that I don't think I'm going to use.

I totally get the sarcasm, I'm in IT in a school system which means doubly underpaid. I don't oh yeah! about it because some of my fellow school IT peeps have it much worse and teachers would throw a fit if they knew what I got paid but the stress is crazy and not worth it. And yes, working in a closet to keep YouTube running smoothly and it always works so they figure WTF do we need the IT staff for, f$/& 'em! On another note, I ditched the iPhone and picked up a Droid Turbo 64GB. The first couple days were painful, I made the home screens 'kinda laid out like the iPhone icon arrangement (not because it was great but simply for my sanity finding stuff). Now after a few days of figuring and customizing, holy crap, I can customize this thing, wow! Thanks for turning me on the the Droid Turbo guys, it's great so far.

My Brother in law rolled a car; around a corner at high speed, down a bank and into a creek when he was a dumb teenager. No seat belts, broke through the glass sunroof mid-roll and was completely ejected and thrown free. The roof was caved in so badly, the responders told him if he had he stayed in the car, even buckled he'd surely be dead. I've always wondered what that was like being launched out of a rolling car, maybe even seeing it tumbling as your in mid-flight. Maybe busting through the glass, he wasn't conscious, I don't know. We don't talk about it so I assume others in the car weren't as fortunate. This was before I was even dating my now wife so I wasn't privy to the details and she says she doesn't remember.

What high end smartphone models do you like right now? I'm needing to replace a phone and don't care about OS wars or carrier preference. What brand and model of smartphone do you like? Why? I'm thinking 6S or S5. Plus and Note are too big but I will spend money on features and quality. Is S6 edge worth the wait? I actually hate Google and Apple but don't want a Windows Mobile phone, Amazon Fire phone or Blackberry that I can't get any decent apps for. So I don't really give a stuff about if anyone thinks Apple or Droid is better, they both suck and I can adapt to either. Show me your cool phones!

Testicle testicle one.. two.. three!? Is this thing on?

Vehicle brand public PERCEPTION. USA TODAY: Car brands with best, worst image with public http://usat.ly/1na1RuN Spoiler alert: Volvo is #8

In Montana, women used to be charged more based on actual costs but since it targeted women, that was ruled illegal and now insurance companies can't use gender to determine rates so yes, it went up for men to make everyone feel better. Funny, I'm all for equal rights but I never hear women's rights groups demanding to have more women in prison, driving dump trucks or die on the job (I don't advocate for this either of course). Only some things should be fair I guess. I wonder how it would go over for me to get into a women's locker room with a press credential and some cameras???

No salt here either. We have packed powder today and it has decent grip except at some intersections where people can't get going from a stop and polish it to a nice shiny patch of ice with their spinning wheels. In those areas we have trucks that spread sand and that works pretty well. We do have just a few major intersections where they use some awful sodium based liquid that is a oh yeah! to get off of our cars. Salt would just make a mushy mess, and kill fish in our river where it all would drain to. When it is well below freezing for days at a time or below zero for weeks on end, salt doesn't help. Of course an XC with good winter tires is my cure for all the bad conditions. As far as I knew, driving in today in the snow was the same as yesterday on clear roads. Yes I drive more carefully but unless I need to make an emergency maneuver (which I'm always mindful of), I can't tell the diff. I thought I would have had comments on my vulvapedia find in my last post. Imagine my surprise when trying for volvopedia.de and ending up at vulvapedia. Well Google, or G as I call it I guess does know what I want ;)

We get a good LOL out of watching most of the country freak out about 1" of snow and 30 degrees F closing schools. I know they're not used to it and such but still hilarious. We go to school in -20 F, feet of snow, whatever. I've been here since '84 and don't remember school being closed. Our attitude is you're in Montana, it's going to snow and get cold, deal with it! At a recent council meeting, something came up about plowing residential streets and the mayor said, “This is Montana, I think the thought of clearing residential streets is totally out of character.” and I couldn't agree more. Of course two of my three vehicles are AWD with good tires and I know how to dress me and my kids so bring it on. We're expecting more tomorrow. I hope I get to blast through some big drifts! But that's not why I'm here. I was trying to go to volvopedia.de and landed here: http://www.vaginapagina.com/index.php?title=Main_Page

1.5-liter three-cylinder turbo produces 400 horsepower from a 40kg engine More power per kilo than a Formula 1 engine Sounds pretty amazing. In tech I see a lot of concepts that never come true, I hope this one works out. It is a far cry from the 3 cyl I had in a Subaru Justy that felt like it was powered by a lawn tractor engine.

Billings drivers paying lowest gas prices in nation http://billingsgazette.com/news/local/billings-drivers-paying-lowest-gas-prices-in-nation/article_b9eaa5a8-48f1-5642-89a5-895b43e9d2c1.html I know some of you, no all of you have it worse but I've never had the privilege of lowest in the nation so go me! Usually we are on the tail end of the trend of whatever the national average is doing. When prices are rising ours usually rise a bit more slowly than the average and once we top out above average and prices fall, it takes our prices forever to get down to or below average. Of course this is the crappy E10 that I try to avoid but still, no complaints. Our E0 Premium is about 30 cents higher than the lowest posted unleaded price.

I'm guessing you didn't go with mostly naked women your card, did you decide? Don't you have some nice pics of your S70? Maybe time for a wash wax and photo shoot. Oh and have fun in SoCal, wish I was there!

That doesn't look good. I hope it's something survivable. I've been moving all weekend, two solid days of moving all my sheite in and out of trucks. I hate this but it's a nice upgrade in size. Going from 2000 sq ft to 3000 and 1/4 acre lot. Room for the wife, three kids and the dog. Oh and from detached single car garage with long single lane driveway to attached two car garage, nice! Now I can work on cars in the winter. Wait, I need a mini-fridge full of beer and a space heater. Adding to the list...

Wow, I see tankers in and out of the tanker base here in Billings (KBIL) all the time. I'm sure most people have no idea the difficulty and dangers these crews face on a routine basis. Around here it's still vintage propeller based bombers like the Convair 580 or the Lockheed PV-2. I remember the video of a wing breaking off of a retardant bomber, a C130 if I remember correctly, sad sad sad. Now if we could just upgrade the fleet for these crews. Nothing but respect for these guys and all firefighters.

I agree. Around here, you don't have to go far from the cities or interstate to find "No Service." When we go camping it is a back to nature experience, whether we like it that way or not. Generally it is advisable to turn the phone off, not to avoid the office (that will happen anyway with the "No Service" wilderness mode) but to save battery life, especially since it can die faster when hunting for a signal. This at least leaves hope that in an emergency, you can hike to the top of the nearest mountain and maybe get a text out. Even in poor coverage when a call may not be successful, SMS will often work. Of course my ham radio license gives me other alternatives to this problem (handheld radios that can still reach repeaters, even in very remote areas or HF radio) and the SPOT products (APRS). So it is electronic but I don't constantly find myself checking VS on the handheld radio :)

I almost pulled the trigger on this the last time I was there. Now I wish I had done it. Next time I'll either do this or a NASCAR experience at the speedway. The DB9 and Elise both look like great choices. I'm tempted by the Vette too but it's just not as exotic. I hear that about being daycare for someone else's vaca. I've been there too. Even a simple day off, since my wife stays home all day, she thinks if I have a day off, it is her day off. She does need a break too though. Thankfully she's cool about me doing this kind of stuff when we travel. If the exotics don't work out you could do this: http://www.digthisvegas.com/

Congrats on the new job. Now we have a source for all of our Honda parts like radio lamps Buying and selling houses is not much better for nerves. I close on two houses and we have to be out of our old office building at work all on the same day! Guess who gets to move all of the computers, phones, switches, routers, etc. then go to two closings while making sure everything at work is "up." wheee!!!

Ok, sorry I meant turbo cars in general and I'm not commenting on Timbo specifically but the peeps who pull waaaay more than a small turbo charged car should and drive thousands of miles in the boost. Not a jet ski or tiny trailer but the 6X12s fully loaded with furniture and books and shi- uh stuff up big hills, over revving to keep their normal speed up and hot summer temps, A/C on etc... Those are the engines I worry about. And yes, I know many diesels are turbo charged but we all know I wasn't meaning that even though I guess I did basically say it. BTW, don't put all the heavy stuff at the back of the trailer. I understand wanting to save the rear end of the car but you should have about 60% of the weight in front of the trailer axle and the rest behind. If the tongue is too light the trailer could have issues with sway. See the billions of articles on RV.net
