heh. while i install/maintain these things.......i have no desire to see them in all cars. if you knew how much of a pain in the dick they are.......

wait till the libs mandate that everyone has to have a breathalyzer interlock installed in their car.

that is if they're willing to put a used unit in. with them doing that though, they then give the same warranty that the yards give. which is normally 90 days. i've been there/done that. that is why i made the statement above. it's just not worth the hassle. then the person that mentioned the tranny on fleabay? ffffuuuuuggggggeeeeeetttttttaboutit! no way in hell would i install a fleabay sourced used or supposedly rebuilt unit. i've been in this business way too long to do stupid shit like that.

one thing I can tell you as a shop owner. I personally would never install a customer supplied used unit. no way no how. why? because it doesn't matter what you say. when it fails, and you've gotta pay me that 7 or 10 hours labor to do it again, you're gonna be pissed off at me. notg yourself for buying a used tranny. me. many shops won't do this.

do you remind them that the bigger their return is that that is that much more money they lent to the govt interest free?

as a hobby, it's a blast. but be ready to replace arrows. look in to 3d shoots. many gun clubs set these up for us a few times a year. i haven't done it in a few years, but they are a friggin BLAST. be prepared to replace arrows.

the added benefit will be that when the oceans all rise 97ft and flood all us land dwellers, you'll still be floating.

I think so. initial draw is 60#. as you draw, about halfway through the draw, the draw weight drops off. this is done through cams on each limb. I think mine were around 300fps give or take a couple fps. I only ever shot aluminum arrows. I used a drop away rest, and a 5 pin sight. as mentioned above though, this would be a piss poor choice for hd inside ones home...…...

actually, I was just thinking. last time I shot at longhorn 3d shoot, 50 was easy as I mentioned. they had a bison out at 75. that one took me two tries to hit. I was launching that arrow with a pretty high arc...…..

i'm about 165 and 6'2. I have my draw at 60#. both of my bows are hoyts with 75% let off. at 50 yards it's relatively easy to put arrows in kill zone. at 75 it's more difficult, but doable.

thing is with value of the car......it's what it's worth to you. not what it would be worth to resell it. is it worth it to you to spend the money to keep this car on the road. kind of a devil ya know vs the devil ya don't know. if you spend the loot to rebuild yours, will you get at LEAST another year out of the car? you want more than that, but 1 year is min. to make it worth the expenditure. has it been nickel/diming ya? good condition? these are the things you need to consider. i've tried to talk people out of doing this kind of work(which sucks 'cause i'm talking myself outta money). either way.........it' what it's worth to you, not to the guy up the street that may be looking to buy it.

crossbows i've heard are loud as shit relatively speaking. compound bo would be better choice. quick reloads, relatively quiet, and deadly accurate out to about 50-75 yards depeding on shooter and draw weight they're broadheads. they're for hunting.

by that standard the guy that breaks into your or my house isn't really to blame, but rather his environment is.

first and formost, check fluid level and condition. in all honesty though, it sounds like the tranny is shitting the brick though. 3400 with 3 year warranty sounds like they may be quoting you a jasper or atk reman tranny. if that's the case, while it seems high, it's not really that bad of a price. if they're quoting you a rebuild of yours, then that's about 1100 too high. rebuilding your tranny shouldn't cost any more than about 2100 to 2400. i deal with motortrans down here in marlton on rt73. i've got a car i farmed over to them that i gotta check on. i'll see if he's got any recommendations up that way for ya.

semi-auto ban attempt in 3 2 1

worst part is that they'll probably be using that money to pay off past debt rather than do the "repairs"

this is how we've lost most states so far....and it's how we're going to lose our great republic

see? wasn't that more fun?

nonono ya gotta say it right.

I took mom over to the Stratford diner just now. we were only in there for an hour or so...….car door handles were trying to freeze already

so far we ain't getting shit here in my little corner of nj

i saw those, and in fact ordered a cheap one. my point of being pissed off though is that just as recently as 10 years ago, there'd have been several stores i could just walk in to, pick one out, and buy it. right there. no need to order it from anywhere. pay cash, and have the product i want.

i don't have one of those adapters. i went looking through my junk stash last night after i posted this. yea...i saw best buy has them listed, as does wallyworld, and home depot. but i'd have to still order it. what happened to the days of just being able to buy this stuff? right now, i've just got a bluetooth transmitter sitting on top of the unit so it'll pick it up and playing classic rock on pandora. it feels like the days of brick n mortar stores are coming to a disturbingly fast end.

ok. where the hell can I just walk in to an actual store and buy one of these things? it's for a denon avr-1802. just got this receiver for cheap. but the guy didn't have an fm antenna for it. i'd really prefer to not wait a week to order 1 online. wallyworld doesn't have one in their store in Somerdale...…..didn't have time to stop by otrher stores. starting to get really fed the $#%^&^ up with not being able to walk in a store and buy stuff like this.

no. he'll ignore the laws. after all, when it comes down to it he's a criminal.
