  1. http://www.blackstonesport.com/fbv_where.cfm If that list is up to day, I'm probably the closest one to you and I'm not very close.

  3. I was playing around on google and found some videos from an old friend's band. Lots of 80s and 90s covers and a couple originals as well. I miss the days of hanging out in the bar until 3AM at 18 or 19 years old with those guys. There was a solid, traveling fan base as well. The camera wasn't in the best place to get a good mix but it gives you an idea.
  4. I have three presets on my Sirius 1: Radio Margaritaville 2: Lithium - 90's grunge 3: Hair Nation
  5. Awesome. I love Dig. I think I still have one of the promo shirts they sent to the radio station for Dig.
  6. Musical genius? I'm going to have to disagree on that one. A friend of mine was a huge fan of theirs in the early 90s and I saw them a couple times. They were terrible live and Patton was horrendous. I may have just seen them on off nights, but most of the live videos weren't all that impressive. I truly think he is a musical genius but to each his own. Faith No More is an acquired taste, for most of the people I know its either you love them or hate them. You might not be familiar with most of his side projects where he is much more creative such as Mr Bungle and Peeping Tom, his solo work is also very good. I've heard the Mr Bungle stuff too and was even less impressed with that. Saw some clips on TV of one of the reunion shows and it was far superior to the older shows in musical quality and vocal clarity.

  8. Morello used to spend a lot of time making weird noises with his guitar, is he still doing that? He was probably the worst live guitarist I've ever seen when they played lollapalooza in 93 or 94.
  9. It snows 6 months out of the year where I live, but that's not my only reason for going AWD on my wagon. Unless your definition of "normal" still encompasses juveniles looking to see who's got the bigger foot at the stoplight. I can attribute my AWD to getting me out of several circumstances that 2wd vehicles could not pass where snow wasn't present. Modern stability control may be the answer, but more and more family cars aren't coming with optional AWD just for the snowbelt drivers. Then again, I can also attribute the damn turbo to my accident last year. I can feel the difference in traction when it is raining between 4wd and 2wd. I used to put my Rodeo in 4wd if there was anything more than a light mist and it made a huge difference. The only thing I don't like about my FJ is that it is full time 4wd and the mileage takes a bit of a hit from that.
  10. I've paid below book value on my last couple used vehicles. Given the overall lack of car sales right now, I would expect that most dealers would be willing to make a deal. from dealerships? thats awesome. i've never purchased a used car from a dealer, but i'll tell you this: they pay less than book value and charge more than.... at least in canada. and i know that from tracking my trading ins. Yes, from dealers. It happens all the time if you know what you're doing. If you know what they sell for at auction, you can usually figure out around how much they paid for the vehicles. Unrelated note, when I bought my FJ the salesman was a buddy of mine and sold it to me for $1k more than they paid for it and that was still several thousand below book value.

  12. Never buy anything the first time you see it. Check the book value on Edmunds.com and always ask for a carfax report. As for the salesmen, take their card and tell them you will call them once you make a decision. Then, actually call them if you decide you are going to buy from that dealer.
  13. Cool, I only have the 90/75, 90/100 and 1/2". Unfortunately I can't run it off the inverter in the FJ, we may have to locate external power.
  14. I'll bring my portable to the MSH skate <bing> Buy that man a beer! or 6 I prefer Landshark, I'll bring the limes.

  16. I think that is one of the reasons the Si-Core was a bust. They were hyped as the greatest stick innovation ever. Everyone fought to get one. Then a year later Si what? Yeah, but to be fair they did kinda start a pretty big trend. They made composite sticks feel alive. Same with the nike skates, one of the first lines started soft boot construction where they had stiff outer layers and gel on the inside at a time when skates were just piles of leather and other materials. Sure the skates sucked, but they spawned bigger things, thats why for me the sicore wasnt a bust. I'd have to say the o stick is a bust, the new ones wont catch on any better, its just a gimmick. I'll never forget the people raving about how much better their pro stock si-core was, only to cut the blade open when it died and find out it was just an orange synergy. They also had really severe problems splitting along the bottom of the blade, something Easton fought with for a few years after that. The first generation Synthesis blades still had the same problems.

    RBK 8K Helmet

    I generally don't respond to reviews but you should bear in mind that all helmets should be replaced every 3 three years of so.
  18. Most of the Wissotas I've used were terrible. I wouldn't touch one with a ten foot pole given the other options on the market right now.
  19. A little experience will help you learn when you need to spin the dial half way around or just a couple clicks. As a note, you rarely need to spin it very far.
  20. Wow... he broke his stick the week before, and shows up to pickup expecting to just grab one off the bench? THAT takes some HUGE balls, coupled with a complete lack of respect for anyone else. Nope, just indicative of the sense of entitlement a lot of people seem to have anymore.
  21. Most people I know that had VWs either loved them or hated them, I hated mine. Nothing but problems.
  22. Yikes....mine were $280.00 when all was said and done. <_< Hey, don't get me wrong here... Everyone can spend their money how they want and they can be happy with it. ...I'm just saying that $260 is more than I would pay for custom Franchises, unless I can customize EVERYTHING. I paid less than $260 for my eagles and I adjusted finger length, logos and added a single-layer palm to the stock options. I couldn't agree more. Now if I can just get a pair of the new AKs like David had.....
