Any suggestions on a very low profile battery? Mine is located on the firewall "shelf" and has near zero clearance from the engine cover. Thanks Bruce

Just curious - why can't you use a bike helmet in a car?

Are you sure JB Weld won't fix that? It is pretty good stuff. Maybe 1 or 2 gallons?

I guess his tires are are warm enough now for a 1/4 mile run.

I have the carbon fibers form Sevens and Elans. Like them very much. They mount nicely in conjunction with the hinges on the wind screen so no holes drilled and doors still work.

I really did not want to start bitter arguments. Just wondered what people thought about the fact that there now and has been for quite a few years, never enough money to do things when in the 1950's and even 1960's I never heard anyone comment about this. Towns had polcie, but now can not afford them. Towns repaired roads but now...

I used to dislike these. I even insulted someone unintentionally who just bought one. That said, I find them rather cool now.

I didn't know Honda made an R car. Oh wait. a ZONDA. Yes one sharp car alright.

Any time I drop off a car for any work, the dealer gets only the key and nothing more. Not even a key fob, which does not answer the question. A few lawyers may make some money on this one.

All I can say is get in one once and drive it!!!!!!! Bruce

"I think you'll find that local government provides a lot more services than they did back then" I imagine it does it some areas, but when I look at the small towns in my area where I grew up, I don't see any increase in services at all. Seems either about the same or perhaps less since, once again, they can't afford it all. Here is another question. When I went to high school, we were absolutely not allowed to drive to school. Now that high school has a HUGE parking lot filled with the cars and trucks of students. It is my understanding that the school must provide enough bus seats for all students. I think someone with an IQ of 100 would see that is a HUGE waste of money. Why aren't these things stopped? If you want to drive than you fill out a form saying you do not require a bus seat and cut the number of buses to what is needed I am guessing that up to 40 % could be eliminated. That is a huge savings. Are other schools the same? I hear people complain about the waste of money in all kinds of areas and it seems everyone agrees but nothing gets done to stop it.

Here is a question not designed to start an argument or huge political debate but something that I have tried to understand. Why is it that communities can no longer afford anything? When I grew up in a small town of only 1200 people we had 2 police, now none. Can't afford it. Schools can't afford more teachers and even have to cut back in many areas including teachers. Roads can not afford to be repaired. Yet I remember none of these problems in the 1950's, even perhaps '60's to '70's. Swimming pools close. Can't afford to keep them open. Recreational parks can not afford to stay open or keep maintained. General repairs on bridges etc. Too expensive. The list seems endless. What went wrong and why?

94th Aero Squadron Restaurant - next to Miami Airtport. WW I theme. Have not been in awhile.

As the population of this earth increases, so does the population of complete idiots.

If I read it right, the SUV ran a Stop sign or stopped and continued without looking????

Would LOVE to do this but won't be back until June 6th. Oh for a private jet. Any chance the annual event can be moved to June next time? Or we can just have our own event as last year.

We all get these but this one was written in such a strange way I thought I would share it plus my reply. Good day, I am Mark Reginal, GOVERNOR,ATM CARD (BCEAO) .I am serving verification documents to the White men Mr Eric Cole a nationnality of United States and Mr Alan Mills also from United States who stormed my office in bank of the Black Gentleman (on white African attire). the black man Mr Fred Johnson claimed to be your representative and the supervisory Engineer that supervised and certified your money execution that was shifted from the previous Paying Institute to the ATM Company They said that you ARE dead and before your death, you appointed them as the next of kin to your payment with Registration No; Eg2272 ,Security Code No: 01721457 and PACKAGE No : JKT0014523 in amount $ 2.5m USD fund presently under our custody. These two whitemen and the black gentleman quickly applied that your Inherited fund should be presented to them at the spot. The Official responsible for the presentation of consignment quickly granted approvals to their application and order for the transfer of the fund to their below account which they said that you are the owner, NAME Earl Green ,ABA ROUTING NUMBER : 111322583,ACCOUNT NUMBER 001-3552,BANK NAME : AMERICAN STATE BANK,BANK ADDRESS : 1401 AVE. Q, LUBBOCK TEXAS,ATTENTION : TRUST DEPARTMENT (Mr. WARREN )FOR BENEFIT OF : (BBC PARTNERSHIP ) . When the ATM Company DEPATMENT(BCEAO) airway bill Note was submitted to my desk for final Approvals before forwarding it to them for endoresment and for the transfer to be made to they submited above account,I noticed that there are discrepancies as there was no evidence of authorisation letter from you for the change of beneficiary. I urgently summoned The Official responsible for the presentation of the fund and directed him to stop the movement of the funds and at the same time placed a stop order instruction on the funds pending when your views and comments are received with regards to this matter. Please call me urgently for your comments which will be highly appreciated, but we will not hesitate to continue the payment transmission to them if no response comes from you. Then i will no that what they said is truth,contact me immediately as your silence will be a clear indication that you authorised them to effect the above changes . Yes I am dead so give them the money. My ghost will be over to see you soon to verify this..

100% first time.

It is one month closer now. Just keep it in mind.

Always good to keep abreast of these things.

Fun to read but it is an urban myth.

Dean - the first few in your list are all close by each other. Across the river is the battleship New Jersey. If you like that kind of thing , it is a great piece of history. Bruce

I have never seen a complete explanation. Does the car actually accelerate on its own or does the pedal simply not come back when ones foot is removed?

This all brings up a question - what driving shoes do any of you like best? Bruce

Hope it is by June for our long overdue ride!!! Bruce
