If I wanted a CB750 I'd have my pick of them right about now...close to a dozen for sale locally. Don't want to go bigger than the 550 though

And have you noticed their questions are all pretty much the same..."I want to be really loud with lots of SQ"...

Obama is spewing Bullshit... I'm sorry

If he raises taxes for people/companies only making over $250,000 whats going to happen? The companies are going to pass their losses on to the lesser people which means the people that make less than 250k will feel the tax.

*disclaimer- McCain is spewing some bullshit too lol not trying to be bias*

It's ok to be bias. feel free to have your opinion.

That may be true and it may not. One good thing about our society is that if companies raise prices to make up for losses, people will find the product cheaper from another company, perhaps a smaller, start-up type place. Or mom and pop shop. Which that would be good for us. But if the big company has a large market share or near monopoly that probably wouldn't happen. People would just bitch and moan about it.

But really I think it's a decent idea. People who make that much money deserve it, IMO. Are they working a lot harder than you/me to earn 100 times the pay? In 99% of cases, no. But for companies I think it's tough. We don't want to penalize those that expand and grow because that's what the market is all about. But then it's those companies that make that much just by having a huge market share or what have you and gouge the consumer that I hate.

I have this thing about always seeing situations from both sides and hardly ever being able to decide which is better. It's a curse.

250k is way too low. Go out and survey what small businesses make and really hard working individuals. When you put your heart and soul into something versus someone who glides by you shouldn't have to pay a tax penalty. These are NOT the people we want to demotivate. The end result will be that everyone suffers as all goods will end up coming from overseas someplace if we demotivate the wrong sector.

you may be right about that. 250k is too low. And no I wouldn't want to demotivate people, the last thing I would want is more outsourcing and importing.

Anyone here have the abilities to test speakers and get the T/S parameters? I'd be willing to send them a box of 10 PA drivers (to keep) if they would give me the T/S and freq response results on them...

I am picking up a woofer tester 3 next week if that works for you.

tuna....vagina

whipped cream......

whipped cream in tuna.... that's what i got from it

other than the word whipped, none of those are adjectives....

I don't think it was sexual. I think the girl was just thinking moron, idiot, etc., for mistaking cream cheese for mayo.

stupid shop. Had to get an oil change at 5 after I got off work because I was already 1k miles overdue. I asked the guy if they would do me a favor and pull out one of my spark plugs so I could see the condition they're in. I bought this Explorer 15k miles ago and I have no clue when the last tune up was done (runs ok, just curious). Anyway, immediately the guy says no can't do it. There's one that's easy to get to, I just don't have a deep enough socket. I say ok, and go next door to the grocery store to get a few things. Come back 10 minutes later and everybody is leaving. The shop is supposed to close at 6. Yeah, you seem too busy to check my spark plug. Way to lose the possible tune up business, because now I'm just going to wait until I go home over thanksgiving and use my dad's shop to do it.

Oh, but they sure didn't forget to say I needed a new air filter even though A) the guy asked me if I wanted to change it right after I got back from the store, and I walked past them working on my car and they still had it in the air draining the oil. Nobody checks the air filter before draining the oil. and B) I knew it wasn't dirty. When I got home I checked it, and sure enough, it was as clean as it was when I changed the oil myself 3 months ago and checked it.

Go after the easy 10 bucks in the air filter instead of the 100 for the tune up. Nice business practice.

I try to as much as I can, but I live in a townhouse complex so it's not easy to do things or have all the tools necessary, and I only get back home to my dad's shop a couple times a year nowadays since I'm all growed up.

It speaks to the people who are jealous of others who have worked harder, smarter or both to get where they are. It says to the upper percentage sector that since you pay for 50% of the taxes of the entire country, and the rest of the country does not feel they should carry their weight, your taxes have to increase to make up for it. Take even more from the rich to feed the rest.

Thats Gold Jerry!
