Actually, drive both, and get what you want to Don't be swayed, unless you REALLY are concerned about the Honda being worth more than the Dodge in a few years Seriously, New cars are generally VERY reliable, no matter what you buy, not quite shure how Consumer reports gets thier info, but the consistantly rate American cars near the bottom, while J.D. Power, who just deal with straight statistics rates them just about in the Middle And the diffrence between the Japanese cars and American cars, mechanically, are not statistically very impressive. Dodge is owned by Mercedes, and the Engine in the Calibur is a multi-car multi-Corporation effort to compete with Honda's fantastic engine's, Mercedes, Mitsubishi, and Hyundia all went in to develop this engine together, I have not driven it or done much research, but I am Fairly confident, it will be pretty damn good So in Summation Get what you like, thats all thats important

crispy replied to USRoadTripper's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
YES!!! Great TR, these are the ones I'm waiting for, I have to ride these new coasters vicariously through the Other TPR members this year Oh well, Thanks for the Great Photo's Julie -
WOW, cool thanks for the Replies Yeah, I have been playing drums for about 15 years, although the last 8 or so have been very part time As for the premier Kit, they actually came like that, we were able to pick them up for about $350, and they sound fantastic, but are a bit diffrent looking, We have another set almost the same, but this one is orange, and normal size toms My brother is going to move to New Mexico, and we then plan on pursuing the band a little more.

CLIFF'S AMUSEMENT PARK PHOTO TR 4-2-06
crispy replied to crispy's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
no just this month, during the summer i believe monday and tuesday they are closed, but open all the other days of the week Also, anyone who visits will be suprised at how tiny the park really is, but they have the basics, and everything is very well taken care of I talked to one of the employees, and I guess they are trying to buy out all the land around them, which is currently occupied by storage buildings, but those people don't want to sell, currently the park sits on only 15 acres -

Sounds like its either fried, or uh, well if you get nothing its probably fried, sorry if it acts like its loading, its probably just the drive, and the solution to that is the same I lost my Xbox drive a while back, but since its basically a computer, it was SUPER easy and cheap to replace, I have no idea if you can replace the drive in a ps2

Well I went to Long Beach during the last week of Spring Break to record with my brother and our band Phoenix at Sundown, before you ask we play death metal anyway, nothing really went right, and it was enormously frustrating, but I did enjoy the visit I arrived on March 26th, and we went to "The Dungeon" to set up the drums, and practice a bit We finished up and came back the next day, and were able to lay down a total of six drum tracks in about 10 hours, seriously not to bad, we came back the next day, and the computer crashed, thank goodness we didn't lose everything, but it did cost us a day The rest of the time was us trying to catch up, it was not fun and alot of work, I was hoping to go to Knotts, but uh, that didn't happen, or there would be a totally awesome photo TR on the Rollercoaster section of this board, and there isn't Oh well, it was awesome to see my brother, and even though nothing worked as planned, I did enjoy my visit on to the pics If you want to hear what we salvaged from our week, go here http://www.myspace.com/phoenixatsundown Yippee, my last day was spent at my brother aprtment mixing down, yes we need Studio Monitors Singing, er uh, or screaming, or whatever you want ot call it Bass Tracks Acoustic, although here he is actually writing a song, ON THE SPOT!!, wow Guitar Tracks YIPPEE the computers working, laying down some drum tracks, where the hell are my headphones Me hitting T.J. in the Nuts with a sledge hammer for not fixing the computer fast enough me "escaping" For some reaon there was these chains on the wall, so we continued being dorks T.J. posing like a dork WTF!!!!, THE COMPUTER CRASHED!!!!! We lost the entire day, this is what we did Well, Audri just stole my DS and played Mario Kart the whole time the Firepod, Bass Stuff, and various music equipment used for recording and we got an awesome Spaun Snare right before we started recording Yup, we have a Mesa Boogie Triple Rectifier, woohoo My drums, ugly, but they are Premiers, and sound AWESOME!!!

Well, I believe we are going to Santa Cruz, and so we may hit up the SCBB, and maybe PGA I may try to get to Denver to hit up the parks, and to watch a MLB game with the SF giants we really didn't plan a very big year this year, Corina wants to go back to school and get her degree, so we are actually cutting back on expenses thank GOD for the Rattler Coasterlover420, I'm not sure I'll make it this weekend, but maybe, i'll let you know. -
The South Park movie was pretty damn funny I'll wait and see, with some of the more gifted writers working on this project, it may be pretty good

Most Improved Theme Park?...
crispy replied to Movieguy's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Well, I'm not sure if its even close it "most improved", but Cliff's has actually gone from a full on kiddie park to a family park they've gone from Uncle Cliff's Kiddieland to Cliff's Amusement park, Adding a CCI Coaster, a set of water slides, and pretty much remaking the entire park into much more of a regular park, all while staying in the same location -

crispy replied to crispy's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I would pick you up at the Albuquerque Airport, its not really very busy, and not a very big deal, say like picking someone up at LAX as for the slides, yes you get more wet on the black one, but during the warm summer days, the line for the black slide is sometimes twice as long as the line for the Green Slide, but they are both fun -

crispy replied to crispy's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Yes Guy, please let me know, I would love to meet up with anyone at Cliff's. The park was very empty, and SUPER clean -
Well, they are bringing back alot of the old writers for the movie, like John Schwartzwelder I am cautiosly optimistic, the show is still pretty funny, but not as good as it once was, that said, its been on for 16 years, how many great storys can you write about a family

Well, we made it to Cliff's, and almost met my first TPR member at Cliff's, oh well, I'll catch you next time coasterlover420 Anyway on to the day We arrived an hour after opening to find about 50 cars in the lot, nice and empty, which is nice, cause it provides walk on rides to the Rattler We first hit up the Log Ride, which is my Daughters favorite ride, that or the Water Slides. I ride once then Corina, its a fun little log ride, with a short drop, but My daughter LOVES it. After that we headed over to the water slides, I went once down the "green" slide, then Corina talked Mickey into going down the Black Slide, which is totally dark, and I have witnessed many chidren crying thier eyes out after that slide, but she did GREAT, but would not go on it again I then Abandoned my family and got two walk on Rides of the Rattler, WOW awesome, good airtime, and not to rough, although during the last helix, I did notice a bit of a rough patch, but to terribly bad After that we went to the Kiddie area, and saw a very you kid on the Frog Hopper, his sister would scream, then he would copy her, Mickey rode alot of the rides, and then we hit the Train, which is back working WOOHOO It looks great, like most rides in the park, it looks immaculate. This was the baby's first ride on anything, and he enjoyed, that and hitting his sister. Mickey and Corina went on a few more rides in the kiddie area, and I took the baby on the Merry-go-round, he was kinda eh about it, but it was kinda fun to put him on some rides, we then went on a kiddie truck ride with the baby, and after a bit of fussing, he seemed to enjoy it I then abandoned my family onace again for more Rattler rides we finished up with another green tube slide ride, then a last ride on the Log Ride ....anyway, on to the pics Picture 149.MOV finishing up with the second smallest coaster video ever, this one goes out to Wally, enjoy anyone need a job? Here is the Rock-o Plane-o, still looks perfect Actually he notices everything going by, and enjoys himself I tell him to have a good time OR ELSE! Little mans first real ride, and he's not so happy This is that cute kid, he was copy his siter, he actualy seemed somewhat indiffrent about the ride Corina and Mickey, spinning very fast The Kiddie area provides some great views of the Rattler They did a great job restoring the train Mickey is having fun, looking cool in her new shades, while her brother beats her Damn, got a good pic of the Rattler from the train Little mans first trip on the train, or anything for that matter HOLY CRAP, the train is working LOTS of Hair-time, and it still runs super fast, and never lets up, AWESOME!!! oh, the first drop, in the back, is awesome Abandonment, to ride THIS I left my family here, hey how the hell does thier grass look so good, ours still looks like ass Black Slide- more wet, totaly dark inside, freaky and a total blast Green slide, not dark, and fun The slides were great fun well, I got her arm to go with me Yes its a fair coaster, but its in great shape WOOHOO, down we go Yes honey, I brought the Camera Ahh the log ride....... prepare to do WHAT??!!! As you enter the very small park, its kinda hard not to notice the Rattler

What's your closest coaster?
crispy replied to FishyFish's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I guess I should be honest and Say that the Galaxi coaster at Cliff's is Closer, but only a few yards diffrence is the NM Rattler, and its a tiny bit better, so I'll go with that one -
Your favorite coaster tunnel
crispy replied to chavslayer's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Um, I think you are all forgetting the Abandoned mine at Uncle Bernie's in Florida Uh for me a close second would have to be the SCBB Giant Dipper, but really there is no comparison to "Abandoned Mine" coaster -
No, i can understand why they would have the lift ride at the new park, Cliff's was way to small for a ride like that, glad it will get good use Hopefully they can get a great wooden coaster as soon as possible, then I can drive down and ride it, WOOHOO
