@Cgc, if you like that video then you are gonna love this. Its taken off the British car show Top Gear so theres a small chance you havent seen it already, but even if you have, it won't hurt to watch it again.
Put it on big screen, turn the volume up to full, remove all distractions, and enjoy.
(cut to 2.00 if you want to get straight to the action)
You're welcome.

The UK version of Top Gear is GREAT....the US version sucks.
I do think Jeremy Clarkson does his best NOT to like American cars, but whatever.
I'm not a big drift fan, but I could watch Ken Block make a car walk and talk all day long....dude is incredible.
LOL, thats a bit embarassing, sorry mate I didn't know it made TG over the the pond. Shame the US version sucks, I would have thought I would be awesome with all the big engine/muscle cars over there. In fairness to Clarkson, he does/did own a Ford GT but yeah, I suppose he can be a bit biased. As for Ken Block, the man is a legend, I could watch his gymkhana vids all day long.

my command station when i'm not juggling iron in a unitard on a unicycle
sorry crappy phone pics, but i'm not quite finished. but its good enough for a quick pic
the new chair is pretty comfy but it needs a bolt for the back so the back rest can be locked. going to take it to lowes probably tonight. not bad for $5 . i got it for my gf.
i still have to clean up the living room some, and the kitchen, then throw away trash in the car, and cut my hair. i think i might get it all done before my girl comes at 9pm tonight!
whenever i come up with extra money i'd really like to put this behind my desk
I have alot of ironmaster stuff and at some point will get their kettle bells but how come I feel like instead of me mastering the iron I feel like its mastering me? LOL :D.

No worries on being embarssed...you didn't know, and I was being a bit of a pain in the buss...lol.
Clarkson just seems to look for things to pick at US cars. Now, don't get me wrong European cars do have a "Quality" about them that American car have yet to incorporate....but I don't get the feeling of 90% of US cars are trash that Clarkson seems to have.
The US version...eh....Rutledge Wood just get on my last nerve. He's one of those who thinks he's funnier than he really is?
Holy NASA, batman.....Matrix563....uh, buddy....you starting your own space program there?

Yeah women will do that to you, next thing is that she'll be moved in and you'd better get that garage done because that's where all your gym stuff's going.

Don't you mean, "whenever I come up with extra money that I don't need to spend on exercise equipment", lol.
Command Central looks great btw.

European cars ? Like jaguars ? Every person that I know who owned a Jaguar, wished they also owned a flatbed, lol. Their cars leave alot to be desired the same as ours. Just sayin'....

Agreed. To stereotype the differences between euro and US cars I would say that US generally focus more on big engines, beautiful throaty sounds, aggressive styling, and raw power in the mid to top end motors. Whereas euro cars are more focused on nimble handling, power to weight ratio, subtle styling, and just a bit more consideration to fuel economy due to our high prices. Thats my very general opinions and there are many exceptions on both sides. I wish we could afford to own the large flatbeds you guys drive, but the fuel cost would backrupt most people.
@Matrix, my bro in law is building a computor next to me right now so I just showed him your setup. He approves.

Below is a photo from a hike I did in the Goldfield Mountains last Sunday. We hiked the Javelina Mine Trail and actually saw a few markers for the Javelina Mining Claim. I took some photos of the claim markers, but they're not particularly interesting - they're just some wood stakes hammered into the ground. Gold was actually found in the area at one time, but I don't know how well the Javelina claims did.

Might be a little lost in translation here...but when you say "flatbed" are you refering to just a Truck, or a flat bed truck?
Truck
Or Flatbed.

I meant to top of the two pics, we call them pickups, not sure why I called it a flatbed. Speaking of which I remember when Clarkson did a review of a ford pickup. It was meant to be the best seller in the US of all time. Not sure if its the one pictued or a different one but... it got a bad review. lol

I was talking about Large american trucks in general. My 2002 Suburban got the same as yours, but my 98 Dodge Ram was closer to 12 mpg, but it was a beast by all standards and had a 360 eng, manual and 4:11 rear ratio. It was definitely fun .

I came up with a new program Sports-Fit you it's a mix of baseball, basketball, football and hockey. You don't have to be good at any of it just do it. You will be judged on how fast you can get it done. at the end you will be named the "fittest man on earth"

When I was in high school and gas was around $1.00/gal. I had a '76 Chevy longbed that had a modified 350 that only got 8-9mpg. It was a very loud and obnoxious vehicle that I'm sure the neighbors were happy when it was gone.
