Had to pull our semi out three different times today, an unloaded semi just gets stuck way to f'ing easy.

Chevy power!!!

Amazing what one can do when you just put 'er in 4 with a tow rope and give 'er hell.

Thanks for the link Matt, my roommate loves the extremely hot stuff that would kill small animals.

So what is everyones boner over sketchup for? I don't see what everyones affection with that program is. The number of plans that I've seen that are actually good plans drawn in sketchup is slim and none, sure it gives you a excellent idea as to what it'll look like, but a well drawn set of 2-d plans will do the exact same thing.

[topgun 262]

It seems like if a plan is drawn out in sketchup, it instantly becomes amazing.

Paper and pencil > sketchup.

Thinking about picking up an Alpine 7998 in place of the 9813.

$225 buy it now...

Thoughts on the unit ?

[ANeonRider 3]

Do you need to replace? I'd go 9833 or 35 before any of the newer decks personally.

[Adrian_D 520]

Just noticed the one on ebay...

Not in a need to replace it. But I always liked the look of the 7998.

Seems appealing to thiefs when closed

[ANeonRider 3]

Thats the 1.5 din right?

[ANeonRider 3]

Just looked, yep 1.5 din sized face... I would do that in a second actually, I forgot about that model.

[Adrian_D 520]

Thats the 1.5 din right?

Yes, 1.5 din face.

Probably going to loose FM radio which is what dad listens to when he drives the heep.

I'm tempted to just paint the front baffle as well and say screw oak. Then do a walnut piece around the speaker thats been turned on a lathe to give it just a little bit more jazz.

<-- knows nothing of wood lathe's

What sort of bit do you use? I have a 6" metal lathe and have thought about turning some legs for a project or two...maybe I should just buy some aluminum stock

Just not that expensive, a lot cheaper off of e-bay.

Ah, cool Rocklers headquarters is right next to my old house.

[///M5 2,833]

just one of those episodes when i want to move out of the country and forget about everything and everyone.

If hillary wins, I will have one of those.

Or Obama-bin-laden as well. Scary shit the Dem's have lined up.

[///M5 2,833]

Of course we get to look forward to Stuart Smalley here...

[///M5 2,833]

Got crap faced last night myself...slowly feeling human again.

[Adrian_D 520]

The Viper is spoken for

Too bad the buyer told me he got numerous pm's telling him the amp is junk / fake or otherwise. pucking pussies trying to fudge up the deal. Why can't they man up ?

That's why the Eclipse is sitting in the for sale section for quite some time.

[Adrian_D 520]

Codeblocks installed and running, time to study computer programming.

Should be easy since it's mostly high-school algorithmics and I'm using C instead of C++.

[topgun 262]

Last night was fun as hell, played a game called scrupples (sp?) and got drunk
