Oh yeah, Isle of Man is on the bucket list, spectator not rider!

I had a change of address a while back, same town different street. The PD didn't want my old one back so I keep that one with me just in case I'm at a shop and want to see something or if I see ammo somewhere. The new card is laminated and locked up safe at home.

Oh and Operation Petticoat. Silly, funny movie. Filmed in 1959 with the moralities of the day. A little refreshing I think.

Another vote for Kelly's Heroes, one of my all time favorites. Sand Pebbles is pretty good. Not funny at all, very tragic and a fairly accurate depiction of a time gone by. Plenty of good older movies out there to watch. Having a 21 year old son I've learned that part of the issue is getting past the film technology of the day. If you like Casablanca, and Bogart in general, check out African Queen. Classic Bogart.

Happy Birthday!! Like many have said, 30 is nothing. Wait til you hit 50. When you hit 50, it hits back!

As others have said, what makes a person do something like this? My heart goes out to all those affected.

I gave up on gas grills a while ago, charcoal all the time for me.

And just about the same time of year. I wonder if there is some correlation between Spring and pizza?

And let's remember not everyone agrees on what is the "best" pizza. Personally I like thin crust and slightly unusual toppings. Of course that's not to say I don't enjoy a good cheese pie too. One of the places mentioned, Chimney Rock Inn, makes the most amazing thin crust, Baked Potato Skin Pizza. OMG, it's delicious and why not? A pizza with potato skins, cheese and bacon. Now I'm hungry.

Great thread, I'm always looking for good pizza so....... Another +1 for Chimney Rock in Bridgewater if you're in the area. DeLucia's Pizza in Raritan, best thin crust I've had. Lastly, Cassie's in Englewood. A little pricey and definitely not a pizzeria but VERY good pie.

A friend of mine works for them, they're heading to Virginia.

One person's opinion. I have worked in the service end of the car business since 1975, started with domestics, spent some time with Asians and then the Germans. One of the many things I have learned in my years is that not everyone appreciates all makes and models of car. German engineering a myth? Hardly, but certainly not for everyone. If you cannot appreciate the engineering that's fine, but it is not a myth. Indeed, what is in todays BMW or VW will be in the Asian cars 5-10 years from now when they reverse engineer it.

This just made me laugh. Come on, you know it's true. http://www.inautonew...t-the-first.jpg

Did a search to see if this was posted before and didn't find it. Sorry if it's a repeat but darn funny. Sure does look like she's shooting a Beretta.

You're a lucky one! The Lexus will cost less in maintenance. German cars are not for everyone.

Not sure what you mean by "worst". Do German cars, in general, need more repairs than Asian cars, yes, absolutely. But road test a Nissan, or any Asian car, and a VW/Audi, BMW, MB, back to back. Some will notice a very distinct difference, others will not. The ones that notice the difference are doomed to higher maintenance costs for the rest of their driving lives. Those that don't will be very happy with an Asian car that almost never needs to go into the shop. No wrong or right, good or bad, it's just the way it is. Well, at least my $.02 (after being the business for over 35 years).

Well........ There really isn't a "typical" mileage allotment for leases. The more miles per year the more the monthly payment. Dealer's like to quote the monthly price for a 12,000 mile per year lease because it's a lower payment. Just remember if you go over 12,000 per year you pay a penalty for every mile over. I've seen leases as low as 10,000 per year and some company leases that allowed 25,000 miles per year. I would say that most people get 12,000 or 15,000.

If you're looking for efficient check out VW diesels. I have a 2013 Jetta and average 45 MPG.

Let's not forget Home Depot and Lowes. Usually pretty clean and I've given them enough of my money over the years that I don't feel bad in the least if I stop in just to use their facilities.

This is like the Fisher Space Pen story. During the space race of the 60s NASA awarded a $1,000,000 contact to a company that could invent a pen that would write in zero gravity. The Fisher Pen company won. The Russians, meanwhile, used pencils.

Thanks guys, it's a Remington 1100 20 gauge.

Okay, I posted the same question in the Ranges and Gun Shops thread as I think that may be a better place. Sorry Moderators, please delete as you see fit.

I looked around to see if this was asked before and couldn't find anything. And I'm not sure if this is the correct sub-forum. I need to have a shotgun stock shorted to my LOP. (God blessed me with short arms) Any recommendations for a gunsmith in the northern NJ area to do such work? I live in Somerset county and work in Bergen county. So anything north of say, Flemington, is fine. Thanks everybody. Chris

Okay, 2 things, "southern BBQ"?? There's some eatable stuff here in NJ (born and raised btw) but I bought a smoker years ago and make my own, much better. Just fyi, if you think Dave's is good, you've never had GOOD BBQ! Rodizio? Fernandes is hands down the best! Been to the new Sayerville location twice, not bad, but Newark is better.
