I've always liked yous guys customer service. The only reason I don't order from ya 100% of the time is that I wish you stocked more OEM Volvo parts on the website instead of the brands like Scantech, etc.. Oh yeah, and you should sell more Saab parts too .

Last I checked, Switzerland didn't have a ton of gangbangers "livin da thug life"... just saying. Other than using this point for argument, I agree with your stance.

Haha, no. I don't like them either. All I'm really pointing out here is that you have to take anything and everything from any news agency with a grain of salt... and that it's not difficult to "report the facts" and sway the viewer because of the facts that get reported. Not saying the delivery guy is the bad guy. Never have, never will deliver pizza.

They forgot to mention that a gun was found at the scene, from other written reports I've read. And yes, the neighborhood people that saw nothing are victims, sure. And while CNN does not directly say so, they imply that the pizza guy made them victims because of his vigilante-like behavior, and had the robbery been successful, everything would've been just fine for the neighborhood. The pizza guy just highlighted the fact that there was a problem, that would've otherwise gone mostly unnoticed. News agencies can report whatever facts they want. The fact that they pick and choose only some of the facts, and say them in a certain way, can have significant impact upon the opinions that their viewers form from the stories. A more conservative agency (haha) might have the story go something like this: Two men, one of which was armed, attempted to rob a pizza delivery guy last night. The delivery guy shot and killed one of the robbers, while the other escaped. They then might go knocking on doors interviewing people until they find some guy that's glad there is one less scumbag roaming the streets now, commending the delivery guy for his work. End of story. Most people hearing that story would form a hell of a lot different opinions from the people who watch CNN. Also, by stating one of the robber's ages, an irrelevant fact, they tried to paint a picture of a pizza delivery guy completely lacking any sort of compassion for what some might presume is just a troubled youth. It's just too bad he didn't shoot the other robber.

And in turn, making the pizza guy look like the bad guy... because he fired shots to protect himself.

Those poor robbers.... according to CNN, they're the real victims here. http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/us/2007/1...ery.murder.kmov

I have to wonder about the operations of tasers. Are they set up so that the officer can control the shooting of the probe and the shock seperately or is it just a one-step sort of thing? I'm assuming the latter.

That's kinda the way I was leaning. Yeah, he should've taken the guy and showed him the sign first... case would've been made, but the guy shouldn't have walked away from the cop like that.

and Yeaahhhhh, so......

Something like 45 to 50 percent of crimes in Sweden are commited by first gen immigrants. There have been very in-depth discussions about this over at the prime English-speaking meeting place for expats, The Local. EDIT: In fact, they had an article about immigration today, from a neutral and factual view today. You can read it here.

Much better, it's a good bit further north on the east coast, unlike cities like Lund and Malmö, which are in the southernmost province of Skåne. You can think of it (Malmö) as a border town, much like some of the ones in the Southern US, which are stricken with poverty and crime due to the high volume of immigrants.

Jupp. Everyone knows though that Malmö is not a good city to live in; too many invandrare in such short time is causing many problems. Maybe the new government with Reinfeldt will stop letting so many people in the country.

WTF? Most awkward post of the month award?

Negro Modelo FTMWF!

Surely you understand why it costs $2 million to put someone down, right?

Tehe. Look at the dates of the previous posts . But yes, big holla (could I get any whiter?) to Chuck for getting everything back up and running.

Who is Speed Motorsports ?

Sandy patches seem to get in the way of a lot of 16 yr olds.

S40's are truly the bastard childs of the aftermarket when it comes to Volvo's. I mean, you have your RWD guys, your FWD/AWD guys, your P2 snobs , and then there's the ones with the S40's. It's like tuning an expensive Mazda 626 or something weird like that. They just don't associate with the others. For example, last time we were out at the track, we had 4 or 5 850's/70 series lined up and randomly, we see this S40 make a run down the track. We're all like, "WTF, you guys know anyone w/ an S40?" We even motioned for him to come over, but he ignored those requests and kept doing weird stuff w/ the car to try and improve its time like taking the hood off and then the exhaust. Oh yeah, original car in question is fugly. Windshield banners = rice also.

haha, thanks Kev. Yeah, tan interior + black car = not so great. Black interiors are ALWAYS better.

Try and negotiate the price on the basis of the o2 sensors. $5k is about what I paid for my car with similar mileage a couple years ago. Also, have your friend go with you and look for standard problems such as engine oil leaks (specifically the rear main seal), working A/C, etc..

Wow, so uhh yeah. September 23rd, I wake up to the sound of thunder and look over at the alarm clock.... 7:26 pm. Damnit! I overslept by about 6 hours. I'm told it stormed most of the day. So what did you guys end up doing? Aye, my best time was a 9.5 something. Having major ignition cut problems during WOT due to the current state of my wires me thinks. This is what's causing the instability on the AFR's. So Jon, what's the state of things on the Kingsborne wires?

No way in hell is that $9500 in damage. I'd say $7500 tops.
