  1. No point in discussing this. If being on the same forum as other LSIS is not your cup of tea (this isn't directed at just Terry), don't waste your time being aggravated here. There are mailing lists / forums that are more suited to that purpose. Terry asked to leave the forum. Locking this one up.
  2. based on my driving skills, I have decided preparing my suspension for high speed offroad excursions is the way to go
  3. guys, I'm inclined to leave the posts as they are. If you've made a post that's not contributing to the thread and want to delete it yourself, do so. As long as it doesn't escalate, I'll let it be. I'm certainly open to a discussion on this, but not here. If you'd like, PM me, or start a thread in the members only section on the topic. calling a stalker a "storker" isn't particularly helpful. at least some of the folks here who don't have a caterham certainly could've chosen to buy one, or even get it built by experienced hands. if there is one thing true about a seven is that it is more tunable than anything else on the road, and it can really be an expression of whatever the owner's desire is. some people just want to drive what they got to the best of their ability - others want to mod and experiment - others want to take a saw to it and try out their fabrication skills. Is it more likely that a showroom stock caterham is better behaved than the car I built and aligned in my garage? probably. Is it impossible that a home built seven can outperform a caterham? No, it's not impossible. This is a great topic with a lot of good posts... keep building on that
  4. Just checking in... starting at page one to see what it's all about.
  5. or that... whatever is cheap and effective.
  6. http://www.cnn.com/2014/01/16/justice/ohio-dennis-mcguire-execution/index.html?hpt=hp_t1 They're experimenting with new drugs because they can't get the old ones. Why not just use a bullet? This has nothing to do with the gun debate or death penalty debate. But if you're gonna do it...
  7. Right now it's down right nippley outside.
  8. It'll be -4 (temp, not wind chill) here in VA. Kinda ironic one of the global warming zealots was stuck in ice and had to be rescued this week.
  9. Merry Christmas to all of you
  10. All we're missing is for a jester to come out on the balcony at the white house and read off a scroll. Administration just announced ANOTHER EXEMPTION! LOL BUT BUT BUT It's the LAW OF THE LAND! How the heck can insurance companies forecast what the cost model for these plans are?
  11. very cool. that song is in my playlist. edit: actually the version I have is by Commander Cody
  12. define "tight". Who's driving each car?
  13. I'm certain of this too... only because the field is dominated by liberals. I used to listen to NPR almost exclusively, and read other sources- used to think they have a very balanced blend - but there is a definite bias in their reporting too... mostly by omission of opposite views. You're correct - every system of government has its problems. The real choices are not republicans vs democrats. In my view both are out of control - both are big government (and big business/big union)- both put too much power in the hands of the federal government - both are corrupt. Some of this is the inevitable cycle of rise and fall of societies. Today we are like the fat kid in a room full of twinkies and unlimited video games. anyone can tell the solution is to take away the twinkies and replace the game console with exercise equipment, but the kid ("we the people") just don't have the will power. The solutions are actually fairly simple to start: institute term limits for congress reassert the powers states have under the constitution (as an example, good luck getting congress to pass term limits for its own members - best chance of this happening is through state ratification) undo all the harm that's been done to the senate. that's a critical part of check and balance of federal power, and it has been reduced to a miniature version of the house. We need to go back to state legislatures picking their senators. Senate was supposed to be comprised of people held accountable to state legislatures - to make sure other parts of the federal government don't just keep taking power. Enforce mandatory waiting periods on voting on bills after their text is ready to be voted on. No more "you gotta pass it to see what's in it". To me the surest sign that the Tea Party is not the problem is the debate it has created within the republican party. It's abundantly obvious that recently democrats are one solid voting block, towing the party line. While there is chaos on the republican side, and that's costing them effective "opposition", I see this chaos as part of the examination process of where things are heading. Clearly if people don't want the Tea Party candidates, they'll all get voted out in '14.
  14. yup, between big corporations, big unions, big government... the only guys not at the table are ordinary citizens. It's awesome.
  15. You're completely wrong (no you're not, LOL. You hit the nail on the head). Still - policy aside, it doesn't excuse this administration's "He knew nothing" answer to every bad thing that pops up.
  16. Agreed, TARP was another load of crap. I just don't understand why anything this president does wrong is countered with "But Bush..." Did anything in the article or my post say something about Bush? As for war casualties, 75% of Afghanistan casualties occurred in 5 years of Obama, compared to 7 prior years. Is he to blame? no. He is supposed to make decisions about that - it's his job. I don't necessarily agree with it, but that is in no way as bad as the other stuff going on.
  17. That's why this section is separate...
  18. ... and just to put things in perspective, what he has done with the IRS, with refusing to enforce laws, etc... is 10X worse for our republic than any war.
  19. This guy could literally stab someone in the oval office while Monica is under the table, and people are like "But Bush..." I was not in favor of the Iraq war. I thought focus on Afghanistan is what was needed. But just in case you forget, this is the guy we were dealing with. http://tinyurl.com/lpysjxm.
  20. after all, there are so many. http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2013/12/05/obama-lived-with-kenyan-uncle-prior-to-law-school-white-house-says/?hpt=hp_t2
  21. That's pretty common with C5s and C6's as well. you'll melt the rear brakes in hard track driving with all active stuff on.
  22. i'm sure the cams are stock Tom. just some exhaust tips and a turbonator.
  23. and so it begins. COOL
