No, I'm not joking - Russia has suggested we nuke the oil spill. Or, rather, the well itself. This is following on the heels of Russia's use of military planes, helicopters, and bombs on ice-clogged rivers to prevent flooding. I'm seeing a trend here for Russia - any problem can be solved with a sufficient quantity of high explosives... and if it can't be solved by a sufficient quantity of high explosives, it can be solved with a good nuke.

Possible that the ECU is bad? I dunno, grasping at straws here - someone had this issue before IIRC, but I can't think of their name else I'd look it up for ya

9101 1288 8230 0126 2390 55 That's the number - their site shows it as: Label/Receipt Number: 9101 1288 8230 0126 2390 55 Class: Priority Mail® Service(s): Delivery Confirmation™ Status: Electronic Shipping Info Received The U.S. Postal Service was electronically notified by the shipper on April 25, 2010 to expect your package for mailing. This does not indicate receipt by the USPS or the actual mailing date. Delivery status information will be provided if / when available. No further information is available for this item. Nothing more

Aighty, well, Pathrider pm'ed me the tracking number, but there's an issue - it doesn't seem that USPS bothers with their tracking system (it's government work, go figure) Any ideas on how to light a fire under their ass?

4 door is roomier when getting into the back seats - if it's a wheeling vehicle, do you need the room? If not, go with a two door and remove the rear seats

Sounds like she has PMS... some midol and a nap would be best. No, but in all honesty - how can it lose compression, then get it back without anything being done?

Hm, crazy. I dunno, I still maintain it was the jersey barrier beside me doing 125 (espcially as the distance over time equation on the ticket itself didn't add up to 125, but rather added up to 163, which makes me think the radar gun was busted) but meh. 17 yr old vs popo, who's gonna win?

Wow... no such luck here... I get pulled over for all sorts of stupid crap - most of the time the "yes sir no sir" routine gets me out of it... cept my first ever ticket. When I was 17... My first day driving alone... lol. I was pulled over for doing "125 in a 35" zone... now, granted, I was speeding (was probably doing about 60 or so by the bottom of the hill) but as I was nowhere NEAR the redline for the truck, I HIGHLY doubt I was doing 125mph... in fact, I dont' think my truck could DO 125mph without exploding or something. Got 4 points, a fine of $250, and a stern talking to by the officer. I decided to take it to court, but they kept pushing the date further and further back till I had to go off to college (yes, over a year of "delays") so I decided to pay it and fskc it... *shrugs* Can a stock '90 pathy DO 125 even?

*nods* Once I get a shipping number or receipt, I can try to track em down. Pathrider, I forget, did you send to my house or my mothers house? They didn't show either place, just forgot where they were supposed to be And did you require a signature for delivery?

All sorted out No problem Pathrider - I understand the e-mail thing completely. Rest is taken care of via PM's - feel free to delete this post EDIT - again, just started to get nervous is all Partly because I have a tight time "budget" and partly because... well, I'm one broke azz college kid, lol. (especially after having to replace our washing machine, ugh!)

idle air control valve? Have you checked/played with the idle-adjustment screws? Maybe check/clean the MAF and T-stat? *shrugs* just what I can think of

Aighty Pathrider... need to know you're alive over there! You said 3 weeks ago the UCA's would be shipped, then sorta vanished; just wondering what's going on I really want to get the work done on my truck while I have my summer break free to do said work *pokes with stick* Heh.

To be honest, I'm &^%*ing impressed... this shows that A) they care about their customers enough TO knee-jerk about a POSSIBLE problem (oooh, a faulty fuel gauge and a brake pedal that wears out... scary... least the accelerator comes back up ) and They are ready to take action to fix said issues Bravisimo!

Just to clarify- we aint' been the premier country in the world for anything in at least a decade... unless "burning fossil fuels" and "consuming vast swaths of energy in a wasteful manner" is a premier topic

Not sure how Obama fits into all that, but otherwise I pretty much agree My reason for liking Obama is simple - he acknowledged he had a @!*%load to learn, and a @!*%storm to fix. He's surrounded himself with people that support, oppose, and critique his own views in almost all sections. I think that's a good start - if he can learn fast enough, he has potential. Question is - can he handle it... and that's where I worry.

That video you posted pisses me off... they got cuffed for THAT? REALLY? WTF! Goddamn some police officers need beat about the head with a sharp stick!

A-fskcin-Men brotha! Work hard and do it right... don't take jobs from legal US citizens because you're willing to work for pennies on the dollar...

Heh, that's the thing - it's only on road I'm worried about, with wet/dry traction. Once we get any snow or ice, I plan to swap tot he BFG A/T's

Huh... mostly I'm looking for a wet/dry pavement tire... no off-road ability at all. I mean, the BFG A/T's serve me plenty off road and in the snow so yeah.

I wonder if it has any frame rust...

Heh, sadly, where I am in PA... you don't get the warning. You're liable to be shot just for walking down the street... And I have no problem at all with people coming to the country... what I DO have issues with: People crossing the boarder and shooting our cops that try to stop them. People bringing illegal drugs into the country. People running the boarder, giving birth on US soil (making their kid a legal US Citizen), then going home. Illegal Aliens wanting jobs, health care, insurance, welfare, and other services they never paid a cent into. Criminals entering/exiting the country at will across the boarder. People entering the US to steal items (as is supposedly an issue in boarder-states) Need I go on? I mean, we aren't going to stop them by asking nicely... we GOT our freedom by fighting, we'll KEEP our freedom by fighting. Not by shouting, not by throwing our weight around, and not by letting anyone and everyone do what they want without regard for the law. No, we have to stick up for whats right and put our foot down... hell, the way things are going now, in three or four years, Spanish will be our national language... I mean, seriously... do you remember when you didn't have to do the whole "Push 1 for English" thing? Yeah, last I checked, English was our primary language and people should learn it if they want to live here. I understand HELPING them learn the language, hell, even putting other languages on important things (like restroom signs, highway signs, and the like maybe) but on soda bottles, textbooks, and other things? Hell no...

I almost think Wall Street is just as bad as the Border... but there is a simple solution for Border issues... self-actuated Metal Storm turrets every half a mile or so. Those 40mm rounds will make it half a mile, and nobody is going to get past an unfeeling, uncaring, self-targeting turret

The warning is just a formality - as most of them probably don't speak good English anyway, it wouldn't matter. And the 40mm shell ensures there isn't much left to clean up

my response to illegals crossing the boarder: They get ONE warning to stop, turn around, and go home... then they get a 49mm shell in the ass.

Heh, what exactly is an M/S tire then? I just realized I was confusing M/S and M/T... doh
