  1. $16 federal return, $88 from the state. After preparers fees we got $20 even LOL. At least I didn't have to pay this year.

      Just means you didn't give the gov. a interest free loan! You did good.

      had to pay 300 of federal return last year...this year only 8€

  2. Anybody ever have a Charlie Horse? Imagine if the Hulk punched you in the thigh, thats how my left quad feels right now. Just a small injection, doc, says. Won't hurt at all, doc says. Fucker, I'm crippled LOL.

      That's where your muscle retracts involuntarily and locks up right?

  3. Why would I pay nearly $700 for a GT500 dual fuel pump setup (275 lph) when BBK makes a single pump, drop in replacement pump (300 lph) for under $400?

      Because they think we don't know better! I went with a BBK fuel pump for my 95 Gt I had. BBK is way better and cheaper.

  4. Damn tow companies around here charge $55-$75 just to hook up, then $5-$7 a mile after that. Im in the wrong business.

      Was $50 here... when i totaled my car. $50 to their lot since repair shop closed and then $50 to repair shop. A good... 15-20 miles each way.

  5. Anybody know how much 10ft of ofc shca weighs? Trying to figure out if a medium flat rate would be cheaper than my own packaging.

  6. Seems we just had a baby earthquake, smooth rolling one.

      is that a long block or short block?

    4. OrionStang

      Short. The other parts will be reused from my current engine.

  9. Mongols vs Hells Angels is getting heated down here again. Huge brawl on the freeway saturday, about 60 total bikers, leading to multiple stabbings. Then yesterday, a jeep cherokee purposely rammed a biker wearing Mongol colors as he sat at a red light on the offramp near the other incident. This is area where my wifes job is and the onramp I use almost every day. Fucking PD is all riled up as well.

      To add to the issue, there are plenty of posers who wear the wrong colors trying to be cool, and end up starting shit. We have whats called "Old Town" here, and its well known for wanna-be bike gangs.

      The good thing is the local police chiefs (Temecula and Murrietta) don't play that shit. They'll do all they can to keep any violence south in indian territory. Property values are way too high, and the vineyard owners accept their wine sales/value being compromised by MC bullshit. Its gonna be hot here this summer LOL.

  10. If you submit a resume and get a reply from the company a couple days later that includes "stay in touch", how long should I wait to call them back? 1 week, 1 month?

      Looks like a reasonable amount of time... Until someone says the position has been filled. The squeaky wheel gets the grease.

      5-10 working days is good enough to show interest but not to seem too pushy. You should be good.

      Decided to email the manager who last messaged me, and will call on Monday.

  11. After worrying about it so much, the new sub slid in with room to spare. Think I pulled a hammy trying to get the old box out, though.

    1. Kyblack76

      Kyblack76

      WOOT !, and sorry about the pull... lol

    2. OrionStang

      OrionStang

      All good. Its hard being fat and trying to contort ones body inside a Mustang whilst pulling an almost 100lb box/sub from teh trunk.

  12. Don't mind helping people, especially noobs actually trying to learn. But, I kinda hate being the middle man as far as finding gear and deals for the kid. I wish he would just give me a budget to work with, instead of having to okay every deal I find for him. It is gonna slam though LOL.

  13. A quote by Hany Rambod when asked about all the professional trainers and 'gurus' currently out there: "First of all I don't think there are hundreds of gurus out there; there is a handful. I think there are a lot of online guys that are famous because they spend a lot of time online. Sure they can be good at what they do, but unless you are out there getting people ready for shows and you are constantly working in this area you are an armchair warrior in my opinion. There ar...

      My point was aimed at the "pros" in the Health and Fitness section. Hany and few others have created the past 20 years of Mr Olympia contenders, while other fake gurus claim they are such because they have a ton of likes. Proof is in the pudding LOL.

  14. Can anybody else test or confirm this; Decaf zips 12-15 flex my car more but sound quiet, while 18-20 get loud as fuck with hardly any flex. I haven't gone through every song of every zip, just something I noticed today while demoing.

      Is this also into the the 20's and 30's? Or just in the teens? I noticed differences in zips also

    3. OrionStang

      OrionStang

      Like I stated before, I only noticed the difference in the aforementioned zips. I will check all the others, in order to keep consistent data.

    4. Joshua Dumas

      I can confirm this from my experience. Some songs are louder and some are more flexy. Yet they use the same frequencies.

  15. DC Kyle, where you at?

      Our PMs always took a while, not sure what you need but calling worked for me a lot when I needed an answer sooner.

  16. Just got an encouraging email. I am being considered for 'substation site rep' positions in the company I applied for. I guess there is something about my resume they like, because thats a position higher than what I applied for.

      It is cool, but until I get an interview offer, can't get hopes too high. Just keeping my fingers crossed.

  17. I think I hurt my Mayhem. Its making a noise that sounds like knocking on wood on certain notes. Its not popping, its not bottoming out, it actually makes a sound like if you knocked on an empty box with your knuckles. Triple joint has been suggested. FFFFFFUUUUUUUU............

      Check that the magnet is secured to the basket. Mine made the exact sound you are describing just before the screws backed out

      I mean if it's bad enough at low volume, then it's plausible haha

  18. I can't say it enough times, everybody has to have a dash cam. My insurance rates just went up $200 (per 6 months) because my collision was declared 50/50 at fault. That bitch fucking hit me and got away with it, straight up bullshit.

      Just a 16GB. It automatically overwrites at the end. You can choose between 2, 5, and 10 minute segments.

      They open at 7, ill be there at 6. Just got a notice from my lender that they never got the title. 4 1/2 years after I bought the car. Funny how it comes up when Im trying to sell it.

      Tell me about it Ken, they gave me 10 hours this week and fucking 5 hours next week. Kind of bullshit is this.

      OrionStang

      Well I was scheduled for 20(which would have ended up near 30) but we had two trucks cancelled. They are sending us almost double loads, expecting it to get done in the same amount of time. Then, "giving us the day off" when teh trucks are "cancelled". I see through bullshit, though. They think we're stupid or something.

    4. TRTC360

      TRTC360

      same thing they are doing here, instead of 4 nights with singles, it's 2 nights of doubles, and then they expect the work to get done before we have to take a lunch.

  25. So fucking happy, exhaust has been swapped and my bitch is running better than ever. Now, do I try to sell and get a new Shelby? Or go big boost on this one? USAA's car buying service found me one under $60k including my options, only 45 miles from me.

      The usaa price is not a firm price what tends to happen is they will guarantee you a car at xxx off from the dealer. Go to the next step with it and see. be prepared to get killed with offers though
