  9. Ken, have it here. I have a stack of checks that will go in on Saturday.
  10. heh, you don't need to hit a car with a bike to mess yourself up. You can do that all by yourself with a regular concrete curb or guard rail will do, even if you have full gear on.

  12. I have another batch of stuff I have received in the mail this week. Will update the list over the weekend.
  13. man, that's some markup on those mirrors :leaving:
  14. Well, my opinion is the same here as it was over there... keep the seven, buy a used 4 door sedan. I've owned 2 buicks, both of which I bought used. combined, I've put 130K miles on them. Combined they cost me $14K to buy, never left me stranded, and in the 10 years I owned them, I only replaced 2 water pumps and 2 alternators. In addition to the van, they've served our family well. The seven is not going to win any head to head crash battles. I saw the arguments on the sevens list about how it's light and it will "bounce"... EVEN IF true, that does not make it safe. Assuming it does bounce around, can you imagine the G forces your body will experience? I wouldn't drive the seven everyday... it's a pain in the a** to haul kids in it - different if you were by yourself - back when I commuted, if the weather was nice, I always took my seven. It all comes down to risk and reward. I'm sure there are many parents who feel a mini is in no way safe enough for hauling kids. After all, if a F250 hit a mini in the back at 30 mph, the back seat passengers won't stand a chance. The same argument that's being used to justify why a seven is not safe can easily apply to a mini, smart car, etc... I CAN tell you this - I have never even thought about selling my seven, but I did briefly think about selling my vette. My kids were in tears :lol: They love the uniqueness of these cars in the sea of minivans and econoboxes all their friends arrive in. That's worth something
  15. Understatement of the year

    Just wow

    It's bad enough they really screwed this up... But, they're paying $1 mil a year to store $18 mil in supplies??
  23. There are many 3 wheelers with that config... wasn't the tri-magnum from the 70's that way? I think from a stability perspective, it's better to put the center of mass closer to being in between the front wheels.
  24. so you'll sit behind the engine, sort of above it? Have you thought about putting the engine in the back and sitting closer to the front wheels?
  25. heh, I just googled Dino, and this looks nothing like the Dino :lol:
