  1. Home: an old Dell Inspiron 1100 that is just about shot and a Gateway Convertible that has been one of the best computers I've ever had

     

    Work: Gateway m685 laptop that is gonna go any day now

     

    I've been in the market for a new one, but just can't part with the money for a Mac at this point.

  2. Not a chance it works. They won't even get outta the East. Bosh is not a superstar no matter what you wanna make him just because he joined up with the other two and he cannot guard any big guy aka Dwight "Superman" Howard or heck even Amare for that matter.

     

    And like it has been said, although it depends on the final numbers for the contracts, they are not going to be able to sign one more quality guy really which they are going to need. They most likely will have a lot of 3rd string guys as Bosh will push for a max contract because he doesn't have the endorsements and Wade will as well because this will be his last chance at a big pay day as he'll be almost 35 when the contract is done. So LeBron will really be the only one who could 'afford' to take a little bit of a cut.

     

    Plus at the end of the year, how many minutes are these guys going to have played? They won't have anything for reserves as they'll barely be able to have a solid starting 5, so each of the three will have to play min of 42+ minutes/game meaning they'll be absolutely shot by the time the playoffs come around. And if one of em gets hurt? That house of cards folds in a quick hurry.

     

    I may be wrong, but at this point, I still say they are looking at being 3rd best team depending on who they can get in for league minimum. Hope their begging skills are top notch! Maybe another 'me' player will join em... Iverson did say he wanted to come back and would play for minimum for a contender!

  3. Any SS Members from MN or SD/ND/IA/WI... Reading around alot of us came from the GTP platform and the local Grand Prix club is having a show/get together at a local park in the Twin Cities, would be sweet to get some of the SS guys out there.

     

    I was just in the cities this past weekend with my SS and had turned quite a few heads... haah,,, but sadly I only saw 1 other SS. When is this meet exactly? I'll be back out there before too long I think.

  4. 11/16...

     

    I have a couple of complaints though... haah. Dont all beaches look the same? Guess I've never been and could kinda care less! Times square doesn't look the same now does it? And Wrigley? C'mon, how freaking old are these pictures? Wheres the ivy?!?!

     

    Ok, maybe I'm just a little bitter. Ha.

  5. So this weekend I was in Sioux Falls, SD for a wedding and I ran down to the mall real quick. As soon as I entered the lot, my attention was immediately grabbed by a blue SS at the end of the parking lot. It was bone stock with a stripe down the side and a soft tonneau cover. I parked next to it and waited for my party to get done in the mall, hoping that the owner would come out, but sadly I had to leave before they came out. The license plates were for Lincoln county SD so if its anyone on here, gimme a shout. Thanks.

  6. This is what I run. Can Am Renegade 800...

    Hey, how do you like this ride? I've been lookin at em for a few years now, but at the time I just couldn't pull the trigger without riding one... hopefully I'll be able to come across one in the near future, but I'm looking for thoughts. Thanks!

  7. So where are you at Tim? I haven't seen you on here much lately? I thought of you guys here a few weeks ago when I made a quick trip up to Bismarck... Plus what happened to you wanting to do another meet down in Hills? We gonna have to aim for an August date there as well?

     

    I could do it later in the summer. I won't be back until August. Ill be off the entire month of August so...
  8. Fargo is a good place. I went to school there - graduated from NDSU Fall '08. I have a lot of friends back there too yet, so I would easily be willing to come up if you can get a couple others interested. Heck, I'll pry be up there at some point this summer as I have a buddy getting married at some point. All I ask is that its after tax season! Keep me in mind!

  9. Personally I hope they bench him for 2 races. Thats uncalled for no matter who it is. Its a joke if they don't. I understand racing and that sometimes accidents happen, but Edwards clearly tried to take him out and wreck him. To me it doesn't matter what the result of the crash was.

    what do u guys think ab what happened with carl edwards and brian kaslowski(sp)?????????

     

    rumor is they r thinkin ab benching carl for bristol

  10. First week results:

     

    We have a newcomer atop the leaderboard (I think Bison 1040 here) followed by Bob, Shuan,

    myself, got vortec, Rudykazoo & CPR.

     

    Still got room for more

     

    Yeah, hot rod, thats me! Just thought I would track this thread down and make sure everyone is following whats going on!

  11. :withstupid: Not to mention, they are notorious for flipping over also.....

     

    True statement. Plus if you even have to consider going through more than a dusting of snow, these things will get stuck - the wheelbase is so short they don't have a chance. Also Jeep Grand Cherokees are nice, but they ride like a lumber wagon - similar to a Durango.

     

    Stay GM.

  12. Yeah I've thougth about the Explorers also. I keep checking vehicles out on eBay lol :jester: .

     

    That would be the worst idea ever. Those Explorers are POS's to be sure - no handling, bad gas mileage, and crappy rides. Like others have said I wouldn't touch em with a 10 footer.

     

    I currently have a 2005 Chevy Trailblazer LT (leather, 6 disc, etc) with 70k for sale. I put it on here awhile back but didn't get any interest. Bad part here is that I'm in SoDak. Gas mileage isn't terrible - bout 13-14 in town and avg 20 hwy. I personally really like it, but am upgrading so I no longer have a need for it.

     

    I guess for comfort, ride and mpg I would probably look at the Tahoe a lot closer. My dad has a '95 Suburban that still gets 18 on the hwy. Those Tahoes were very similar, although once ya get to '96 or later the mpg falls substantially due to the vortec.

     

    I guess I've never been scared of looking at wrecked vehicles either if you know what to look for as you can find some really good deals so that may be an option as well, but of course its up to you. Just a thought.

  13. I just found that truck a couple of nights ago on here. I mentioned to my wife about doing it to mine to match my 72. Not going to happen.

     

    Different look for a SS for sure. Just do it and pay the consequences later! :jester:

     

    By the way, I like that picture of the stadium in your avatar.... Absolutely the greatest place to go to for a football game. Nothin else like it.

  14. Well guys I have two vehicles currently for sale as my mom wants to upgrade to a Cadillac SRX so I thought I would toss these on here and see if anyone was interested. Thanks.

     

    2002 Cadillac Seville SLS with less than 50k miles.

    Here is a link for it: '02 Seville

     

    Also I am selling my 2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer LT as she currently drives it but will no longer have a use for it. It's got 70k miles with gray leather, and a 6 disc cd changer. It books for $15k, but I'm looking to get $13k.

    This is the best pic I currently have, but if you're interested, I can get more!

  15. Can't you fellas wait til after tax season??? Jeez. Being an accountant sucks. I would try to represent the blueneSS, but if its before the 15th, ain't no way I could make it. Also sounds like a fun trip to get the TA outta the snow bank, but cripes thats a long haul with no way to get any time off.... Lemme know if things change!
