plenty of people were still unprepared for sandy. i recall seeing all the wailing from people 'cause they couldn't get gas, they couldn't charge their phones, etc......most were totally unprepared for that from my viewpoint. then there was the looting.

what woulda happened if there were say.....a dozen sandys in key places all at once?

that's the one down by atco raceway "?

would this not be perfectly legal in commifornia? and also allow us to have more than 1 or 2 evil features here in pfrnj? https://www.ammoland.com/2016/07/englands-sort-semi-auto-ar-15-type-rifle/

quick update. i bought the milwalkee impact gun. also bought a 1/2" chuck drill. the drill came with smaller batteries, but i can plug the bigger batteries from the gun into that. i've only used the gun 1 time so far this morning. i took the new gun, and the snapon gun over to a taurus that i needed to remove the tires from. the snapon took 1 to 1.5 seconds of hammering to break the nuts loose. the milwalkee did it almost instantly. it's also higher rpm, so once broken loose, they were off the studs much quicker. i'll post up something ore detailed after i've used it more. i always feel like a dumbass when i ask questions like i did in the op.....but this one turned out good with tons of great info, so as always, thank you guys all for all the info and advice!!

that was the whole idea of the exercise. I always found it to be a blast. I love this particular cfi too, 'cause he doesn't teach like it's a job. he teaches like he's teaching his son or daughter to fly.

shit! you see that sky? solid cloud cover. probably around 5k agl. he went ifr and lost it I bet.

that video shows it already in what is essentially vertical descent just before it blows.....

dude, you've no clue. I've had cfi's take me up in to clouds. I had one had me fly out over the ocean(only about 1/4 mile) at night. one used to do an exercise with me to simulate me having fallen asleep. he'd have me wear the foggles(google it, lolol), then hang my head down eyes closed. he'd make like we were on a roller coaster. accelerate, decelerate, climb, dive, turn, etc....then I had to regain control. it is utterly amazing how badly your mind can trick you in an airplane. one of those times, I was getting cocky, 'cause i'd recovered unexpectedly fast. so he started talking to me about other things. asked me about drag racing. i'm explaining how bracket racing works to him, when he interrupts and goes...….how come you're in a turning descent? what happened you may ask? since I was paying more attention to talking than flying....I let my mind/body tell me what to do. they kept telling me we were climbing left. so I kept correcting by pushing slightly forward and turning right.

sounded like he was in a dive. engines sounded to be way over-revved. they said it broke up in the air in an article i'd read, but that's not very common. i noticed it's raining. wondering if he flew into a cloud, and lost his orientation.

this i think i may grab to put in my gethome bag......

thing is.....i seem to recall one of you guys had started a thread some time ago about collecting knives. i'm no collector by any stretch(although i do have a few fairly nice i think bayonets). i figured that if you guys are collecting, then you've got great knowledge on something to carry. and i need to get it quick. i friggin feel nekked without a knife in my pocket.

nope. i was/am pissed off that i lost one i paid 80 bucks for. and i bought that one 5 or 6 years ago

it is true that the non-turbo subbies are a little under-powered. not by so much though that it's a factor. their turbo cars are good(they don't suck oil like owdies). the wrx and sti's are amazing. the manual trans versions though can break trannys. a friend broke his tranny while still under warranty, and subaru didn't want to do anything. i think they said he abused it. that said though, one does not buy a subaru for performance(for the most part). if you want performance, you go mustang/slomaro/challenger/charger. the challenger/charger i believe are available in awd also. if i were in the market for that type of vehicle i wouldn't hesitate to buy one.

ok. somehow I lost my trusty Kershaw. so I need a new one. need to be able to open with 1 hand. not looking to spend lots of loot on this. it'll be in my pocket every single day and used for whatever comes up. would be nice if it held a blade too. suggestions?

that was aimed at the "Subaru is the only maker" part. you are otherwise correct. it is not acceptable. i'm not totally sure of what the cause is that so many manufacturers are having this problem. I think it's probably a combination of a few things. hypercritic(probably spelled wrong) pistons. low tension oil rings. probable leaner a/f ratios resulting in much higher combustion temps. among other things. and Hondas are about the best out there overall. but they're expensive to fix now.

awd is a fantastic "extra" in the rain too. i think you meant to say "owdie"

MANY OF the manufacturers are saying things like that. a local pd i do work for has a 2016 tahoe. it goes through about 1.5 quarts a month.......according to gm 1qt every 1,000 miles is acceptable. they say to expect higher consumption if it's driven aggressively. wrong

tell us more? i hadn't seen or heard of that one yet?

while i whine and bitch and moan when my accountant tells me what i owe.......i don't like lending them money interest free. now on the other hand if i were to get a refund with something good.....like say......8-10% interest.....then i'd be happy to let em borrow that money.

asfar as an awd vehicle, you can't beat a Subaru. only problems I know of are oil consumption. they've had issues since about 2011. I dunno if they fixed that yet.

no. if the coolant freezes your water pump will not turn. if your pump's timing belt driven, then you're screwed....if it's serpentine belt driven, it'll burn then break the serp belt. neither will let the engine overheat so badly that it'll set the car on fire

101.5 this morning said it got up to 10 alarms, and that a parking garage at terminal c at newark airport is on fire now? also said that they were pulling water from the river?

heard them talk about this on 101.5. I can't even imagine those firefighters being out there in 10 degree weather...….

long as they're rebuilding it, that's a fantastic price. it's a lotta work. if i remember correctly, you've gotta drop the entire engine cradle outta the car to get the tranny out.
