There's a guy with a WRX in our neighborhood with a loud blow off valve. He drives through the intersection like a dick, like everyone else with a loud car/bike that comes past our house, but it's the least offensive of the bunch.

Bikes: I've lost count.

some interesting facts about our recent earthquake. It had a Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA) of over 2.2g. The September 7.1 had a PGA of 1.26g.
The amount of silt, thrown up by liquefaction, removed from streets and properties is currently 120,000 tonnes. The amount of liquefaction silt removed after the September quake was only 30,000 tonnes.

We've been clobbered really hard.

I'm having the same issue, and apparently no points on your driving record is good as well.

You're signing up for a triathlon and only doing the first two legs?


P.S. What did we ever do with ourselves in the days before YouTube?

Yes, it is. I used to hover around 8-10pts all the time. I bought an F-150, and now 2 years later I have Zero points. Plus plenty of room to haul around bikes. safely, and comfortably.

I didn't get that high, but I usually sported 1 or 2 points constantly, as soon as it would drop off I would be a Ned again.

Just picked up a new laptop, now I get to look forward to the fun of transfering everything over from my old one. The good news is that after I transfer I will no longer have to deal with that p.o.s. Dell anymore. WOOHOOOO!!!!!

Like I said, that's a weird sport combination. But not as weird as biathlon.

Is anyone into extreme couponing? At Facebook I see people posting that they bought $60.00 worth of stuff for $20.00. I'm still not sure how they do it.

The six can sound alright. Those Subie flat fours remind me of old VW Bugs.
