  1. I forgot to post pictures of my new car purchase from last month , I just got back from a fun little road trip in it:) Here are a few photos 2007 BMW Z4M coupe fueling up in the wee hours of the morning last week interior bronze color up on ramps for an oil change it spent some time catching rays at the beach recently and, the most important part - the old S54 I6 engine out of the E46 M3
  2. If you can go in late May, that would probably be best - especially if that means you can visit Cedar Point and Great Adventure on weekdays when kids are still in school. I think Hersheypark is weekends-only in May. On the topic of Auto vs Manual, its actually rather easy and care-free, especially since a rental car will be new and well-maintained. The transmission is not worth worrying about! The drivers in New Jersey, however, may be (I'm not sure how good or bad drivers in Brazil are so even drivers in NJ may be ok to you)
  3. just buy piers a drink next time and it will all be good
  4. Sundays are generally pretty light early on, people like Jesus a lot down here..
  5. again, fuck the government for several reasons, but at least this gives me a reason not to learn how to pronounce the name
  6. ^ That's the best idea, I've personally done it with no problem. Lugging around an SLR all day is why I eventually bought a point-n-shoot, it got old quick. I never liked the idea of leaving it on the station though, at a certain point, you just have to ask yourself, would you also leave $1000 cash on the dock?
  7. By this statement (which I very much so agree with), you should be saying the same thing with regard to the victim, right? I mean surely he is familiar with the fact that his amputated legs have changed the function of his body, shouldn't he have some sort of duty to ensure that he is ok to ride? Maybe read a warning sign regarding bodily restrictions, check with a ride op, or perhaps just play it safe and not bother? Otherwise, the way I see it, you are just transferring all liability to the ride ops, and permitting a lack of accountability on the part of the victim, right?
  8. Legally, I think a defense lawyer could quite easily place some of the blame on the rider himself fixed. at the very least, I'd sue to recover funeral costs if someone was horribly negligent as in this case. If I were his widow, I'd have to consider replacing his lost income stream somehow too.
  9. Cheers! I shared a couple brews yesterday afternoon, and finished with a Two Hearted for dinner. I didn't even realize it was another beer holiday!
  10. let's just say I wouldn't bring it up to a chick I'm trying to hook up with
  11. Not many things I really care enough to seek out anymore - Canadian Mindbender, Liseberg, and Nemesis are the only few I can think of. Throw in the Intamin woodies and a couple of really f'd up rides and pretty much any small, weird Euro park here and there, and I'll be happy.
  12. Don't get me wrong, I love Schwarzkopfs as much as anybody. People have even gone out of their way to rub it in my face when they ride one I haven't done (Lisebergbanan and Olympia, for example). However, I'm not blinded by my fanboyism. SDL is lame - if rides like SooperDooper and Revolution came to define his career, he wouldn't have very many fans.
  13. I don't know where I want to go more, that, uhh, "gentleman's" club, or that sketchy park... ps - I'm at least half shocked that the rides in the park didn't have the confederate battle flag instead of the modern American flag..
  14. Is the Air France jet a Concorde? Very cool, I'll have to check it out next time I'm in the area. Didn't even know of this place until recently
  15. I have to disagree, its just stupid IMO I do love seeing any sort of kirmes report though, thanks
  16. And the Schwarzkopf is one of his weakest. Just because is was made by Schwarzkopf, doesn't necessarily mean that its good
  17. you're right, my bad! - US Army Medical Department "Acceleration Effects on Military Pilots" You can read all about the effects on the body here
  18. I would not be so quick to apply a blanket statement to the question posed in the title - sure, we are talking about a relatively mild and short loss of consciousness, but this is a fairly young field of science. Just look at where studies on concussions and brain trauma have gone over the past couple decades. I would also suggest that there are underlying biological or genetic features that can vary each individual's reaction to such an event. An enthusiast may be more "conditioned" to handle such forces, a member of the general public may not. In short, I wouldn't say anything too definitive.
  19. I understand, but in today's world where people change jobs every few years, and career changes are commonplace, who cares? I'd wager very few people, even among college grads, are truly dedicated to a field. I find college can actually widen one's scope - there are fields that I never would have imagined I would like that I'm now interested in. I do like when I run into people from hs who give me odd looks when they find out [i'm 25 and] just now entering my 3rd year of college. I think to myself how much I money make and just ask them how the job market is and when will they be done paying their student loans..
  20. god bless Laura "these people are cool?" "well, most of them"
  21. Great report! Glad to see NY approves of lemonade stands - you have to report to the government down here if you want to operate one
  22. There are some amazing cars there, thanks for sharing!
  23. I hope you're not just teasing us with your avatar...
