    The Pay-for-Speed Candidate

    How do you figure that driving above the speed limit (90mph in this case) is a right? In our society driving is an opportunity for those that show enough competency to pass a driver's exam, have access to a vehicle that passes safety and emissions standards, and then follow the rules/laws...

    The Pay-for-Speed Candidate

    You have to hand it to this guy for trying to be creative, but getting this actually into law would be difficult at best. In theory it could be very safe if people actually used some common sense, but how often does that happen and you'll end up creating some huge speed discrepancies on the...

    WA Sighting thread.

    Seriously? :eek: That makes me sick to think about. :frown: I hope it isn't too bad and is repaired well. I really miss having the car here.

    WA Sighting thread.

    Sounds like my old car that we recently sold to a WA resident. Good to hear it's on the road and getting noticed.

    Don't hit ever hit a woman. Especially when a Former UFC fighter is nearby.

    Yep, and it was reported today that he'll be fighting their Lightweight Champion, Eddie Alvarez, in a non-title bout on October 21st. Probably a smart move by Bellator to build upon this notoriety, not to mention this is the fight they wanted to put together when signing Roger.

    Ufc 117

    Yeah, it definitely wasn't luck that Silva got the submission as it was skillfully done and just shows the importance of BJJ. I'm not sure it's totally accurate to say ONLY a champion can pull off a win like that, but it certainly goes a long way in defining a champion. A Shogun/Silva fight...

    Stock Seats

    We have a set of stock black seats that were from our '93 if anyone is interested in them. Like most seats that had about 50k of use they have some bolster wear and probably need to be recovered. With the weight of them I can't imagine shipping them so if anyone in AZ wants them let us know...

    Ufc 117

    Very enjoyable event from start to finish really. I couldn't believe that Chael didn't try to pass into half guard. He seemingly was able to pass with some ease in the 1st and didn't make any real efforts in the rounds following. I kept waiting to hear Lindland mention it to him as he was...

    Our NSX is Gone

    Wow, you have photos of pretty much everything don't you :biggrin: Yep, that was our first one and we still miss that one too.

    Our NSX is Gone

    Yep, I remember that, although I think he was actually in Fountain Hills. We've definitely had a great time hanging out with all the Phoenix crew and were fortunate to meet so many great people like yourself. We'll definitely try to stay in touch although the last couple years that seems more...

    Our NSX is Gone

    Great shots as always Eric. We had a ton of fun on the CalCoastal drive and of course NSXPO '05 too. That last shot above from NSXPO '03 was actually Chris' car although we bought the body and many other parts directly from his car. We were at NSXPO '03 though with our '96 Red/Black and...

    Our NSX is Gone

    Yeah that was a lot of fun, especially the karting. Heather did pretty darned well like she normally does although she did have somewhat of a home track advantage (well all the Phoenix/Tucson NSXers did). It's hard to imagine it was five years ago almost isn't it? I wish I could have made it...

    Our NSX is Gone

    Those pictures bring back some good memories! That first night eating at Sapporo was definitely fun and it just continued throughout the event. If we make it to NSXPO this year we'll definitely catch up with you and Tina. I actually just ran across the picture you took of me in your driveway...

    Our NSX is Gone

    Welcome to town Chuck and Penny! It was a pretty sudden sale and I was kind of in shock it happened. I even thought about telling the buyer we had reconsidered but once he booked the flight down of course we were committed and we know it's the right decision for us at the moment. You guys are...

    Our NSX is Gone

    We'd like to think so Hugh. We're definitely not going to stop looking and posting on Prime, but even that is more difficult to find time for with the one and soon to be two kids. Hopefully we'll make it for NSXPO this year, but with the second child expected only about a month prior it is...

    Our NSX is Gone

    Sold the NSX today. :( Heather and I definitely have mixed feelings and hate to see the car go. Having owned two NSXs over the last 7+ years we absolutely enjoy the car and this community immensely. We've been fortunate to meet so many incredible people and lifelong friends. From Heather...

    How to prep the BBQ for the Summer

    The africanized honeybees are absolutely more aggressive and defend in larger numbers, but their overall reputation seems quite overblown by media hype. I've personally been quite close to several colonies and balls of bees without issue and watched the bee expert literally walk right up to...

    How to prep the BBQ for the Summer

    I think it may also depend on the area though. Here on the NW side of Tucson in particular we have a pretty large bee population that continues to flourish. Most reports I've ever seen say that nearly 100% of the local bees are africanized too. Having been out several times with a local bee...

    NSXPO 2010 - AZ Oct 27 caravan to Las Vegas

    We won't know until much later if we can make it up for the event. Heather's due in late August so not sure how the timing will really work out and all for that and my work schedule as well. Hopefully we'll be able to make it though as it should be a great event.

    ufc 111

    I think GSP is getting WAY too much bad publicity for being boring and not finishing fights. If you look at his record his wins have only been by decision 35% of the time. Just because 3 of his last 4 have been via decision doesn't mean he's not looking to finish. He absolutely destroyed...

    Car buying suggestions needed

    Many good suggestions already listed. FWIW we looked at several of these cars about a year and half ago basically for the wife to drive daily and ended up with a Lexus ES300 with very low miles for under 20k. Overall she actually liked the Sonata better than the ES300 (responsiveness, interior...

    21% paycut on Monday.

    You can check into this further actually if your company is operating under a Section 125 (cafeteria plan). While I'm not a tax professional my understanding is that under the cafeteria plan guidelines employers must offer participants a choice of at least one taxable benefit (cash) or a...

    Track in Benson???

    I hadn't heard of IMR actually and just checked out that website. Turns out I know the owners from growing up in the Seattle area. I played youth football with the minority owner and the owner was one of the coaches along with my dad. Crazy small world I guess. I might have to check it out...
