12/22/2008 12:38:45 PM This actually deserved its own thread.  Any time there are elves dancing, I have to laugh.  [FLASH width=400 height=300]http://www.youtube.com/v/UfNEnXKhf_k[/FLASH]
12/22/2008 12:09:23 PM Hot on the heels of "Movies that describe your sex life".  Get to it guys.  I'm just going to start with one for now. Me Myself, and I - De La Soul
12/20/2008 2:55:04 PM Under no circumstances should you go to the mountain! Chest deep powder and no lift lines is very dangerous.  You do not want to get any leg burn from endless lines of champagne powder.  The tree runs are a little too epic right now, you may be overwhelmed with joy, which can only end in you hitting a stump.  Let me continue to explore and report further before you decide to head up and potentially ruin my epic day.
12/17/2008 10:16:58 AM Last years snowfall in Portland [FLASH width=400 height=300]http://www.youtube.com/v/x0AO3xKWqOE[/FLASH] Yesterday (1 inch of snow or so by the way) [FLASH width=400 height=300]http://www.youtube.com/v/CXFZMGddENA[/FLASH]
12/14/2008 3:26:05 PM The snow storm knocked power out at my house.  Now when I turn on my Dell computer it goes traight to the screen that says "Windows error recovery" and gives me the 5 different ways to restart the computer (safe mode, safe mode with networking, safe mode with command prompt, something else, and start windows normally) No matter what i do it just keeps cycling back to this menu.  I put the Vista disk in to try and run windows repair and it never loads.  Just goes to that screen.  I have tried each and every menu option and they don't work.  I have disconnected the computer from everything for a while to make sure there was no current in it and it still doesn't work.  Ideas?

12/8/2008 6:11:32 PM I have just realized how much of a role model and influence Al Bundy has been on my young life.  I know most woman cant understand what he has done as a role model and influence for the men of America.  But when Al Bundy was no longer on the air, it was like the voice of all men across the country, was suddenly silenced forever.  Here is to Al!
11/29/2008 1:59:53 PM I don't see any on the site, any ideas when you guys might be getting more in?
11/23/2008 12:20:36 PM I know, I'm lame for counting down the hours  But I LOVE 24 and its been a long wait!  Still trying to figure out how to get the 24 ringer on my Iphone.
11/20/2008 4:56:12 PM You knew I had to do it!  We need to get some snow so I can get my mind out of the gutter
11/20/2008 10:58:10 AM Black BNR32 had a good suggestion of starting my own thread.  Better than thread jacking everyone else.  After 140,000 glorious miles in my beautiful black on black M5, I feel it may be time for her to go.  While I have seen E39 M5's get over 200k on the clock.  None of the service guys around here have any experience with them, and its getting to be a pain in the neck to take care of it.  I frequently have to tell them what needs to be done on it.  I have two options, either learn to do it myself (good luck, the GT1 computer needed to read the engine is upwards of 20k I hear) And lets be real, I'm just ready for a new pair of shoes.  I had an order on a new Skyline GTR and sold my allocation amidst concerns of servicing it.  Those concerns turned out to be totally right and I'm thankful I didn't pick that car up now, plus making a proffit on something I didn't even really own wasn't a bad deal either.  I really love my M5 because its basically the ultimate in power and subtlety.  It handles incredibly well, is luxuriously appointed (dash is covered in leather, roof is alcantra and seats are Ostrich Skin).  I feel it has timeless styling.  Its super powerful, gets good mileage on the highway, has enough room that i can travel with it etc.  Not to mention occasionally lighting up the rear tires for an entire city block is fun. -Its built like a bank vault.  Entire car is so solid, no rattles or squeeks anywhere I have a big truck that is there for all my camping/snowboarding/home depot trips.  So while I don't want a pure race car, I don't need something with 4 doors.  Things I dislike: -Tough to service and expensive.  I don't mind the cost so much, I do mind waiting for parts, waiting for appointments, and having service tech's get it wrong when they do fix it.  -City mileage is about 12-14 mpg -Consumables are a ton.  Tires are 2 grand a set, and I go through rears in about 10,000 miles (can't rotate them due to the camber).  Brake jobs are 1600 bucks per end, 250 dollar oil changes etc. -Radio sucks and I can't replace it, no bluetooth, can't watch movies on the screen and the nav system is a few years behind.  I keep updating it with new drives, but the new I-drive BMW's are way more advanced.  -Kinda big and heavy for a sporty car.  There is something to be said for being able to fling a car through corners.  Mine has a full Dinan Stage III suspension, so handles very well, but you can still feel the weight.  Also, its more fun to drive above 100 mph than below it due to the weight, which also is strangely unsatisfying sometimes.  Possible ideas for replacements: -2008 STI, awesome deals on them.  Great engine, tons of mod potential with suspension to dial in handling.  Probably pretty reliable.  Downsides.....Well, Fast and the Furious comes to mind, but the new one looks pretty sleek and subtle.  I am kind of a tech geek, so all the differentials and various modes would be fun to mess with.  Hatchback kinda cool too. -2006-07 E60 M5.  They are all over for less than 50 grand now.  Get the new V10 engine, all the electronic updates.  More room.  Put an exhaust on it and it sounds like an F1 car.  100k warranty.  Downsides is I'm stuck with the servicing costs again, they are far less reliable than the E39 version.  It drinks gas at about twice the rate mine does.  Tires are hugely expensive  (I'm just assuming this, haven't checked yet).  Mod's are a ton of money for BMW's.  I do love the new interior though and I actually like the SMG tranny.  100k car for half price and only a year or two old?  Not bad. -2008-09BMW 135i.  Newer, much smaller and lighter.  Nimble handling, can chip it and make 400hp.  S
10/30/2008 12:27:15 PM Ok, these really only have about 25 days on them.  No smells or anything like that.  In really good shape actually. The only thing that is wrong with them is the back part of the inner tight squeeze sock has detached from the back of the boot.  So when you put the liner into the boot, you need to hang onto the sock thingy to keep it from getting scrunched down under the liner. Its no big deal, and you could probably just staple or stitch it back in with about 30 seconds of work. They are black, I'll post up pictures later on, all i ask is you pay shipping for them.
10/20/2008 8:20:04 AM Come on guys, what are you going with?  Right now the Shaun White Target edition is leading for me, yes I am selling out completely.
10/17/2008 8:33:24 AM Here you go guys, all up on ebay, starting at 1 dollar with no reserve 2006 Burton AG 1 piece, all white.  Super rare, if you remember the Kier Dillon add's from the first year of the Vapor.  This is what he was wearing 2006 Burton Idiom 3l jacket.  Can't say much here, basically brand new and top of the line protection.  Try buying a new idiom jacket for less than 500 bucks without a hookup. 2006 Burton Ronin 3l pants.  Macdaddy lime green with yellow pinstripe ones.  I wore these with a half life jacket for ultimate in visibility on the mountain.  Look brand new, no stains or anything. Here they all are in my auctions http://shop.ebay.com/merchant/phosheezy12 Email me any questions if you have any or need more pics
