  1. I still have heartache over the black 98' SV that sold here by member DangeRUSS (RIP to him) for $108k maybe 5-6 years ago. I'm guessing this is the same car as I believe that's the one Roy bought. At the time it had black matte vinyl on the front bonnet and possibly rear decklid (can't recall). Even given the market back then (which was much lower) that car was priced low.

     

    I was scheming left and right over how I could pull the money together for it, but with my wedding on the horizon I once again convinced myself it just wasn't the right time. :(

     

    If this is the same Diablo, Russ bought it from a small dealer in the Chicago suburbs for $80K +/-.

  2. Doesn’t suicide also generally preclude one from collecting on most types of insurance? If that’s true - then whatever insurance is in place for the surviving family is null/void - further adding to the difficulty of what has been thrust upon the family.

     

    I’m not sure suicide = insanity but I agree it’s selfish when there are dependent minors involved.

     

    I never watched Bourdain. Knew who he was.

     

    Every life insurance Policy I have had excluded coverage for suicide for 2 years after which claims become uncontestable. So, it depends how long the policy has been in place.

    I enjoyed his perspective on life until now. RIP. Those demons are horrific.

  3. Be careful with any document safe, ala Sentry safe. The Sentry fire safe I had removed the blue moon phase ink from a very expensive yeager lecultre watch I had. Moisture in the safe mixing with the air born fire resistive packing caused a chemical reaction that attacked the watch. By the time I realized the problem it was too late and it had to be sent back to Switzerland for repairs costing thousands. Make sure the safe is a watch/valuables approved safe.

  4. Sounds like that Rotten Tomatoes voting is being manipulated by some major disgruntled SW fan. The movie was horrible though. I'm anxious to see what Abrams cobbles together for the next one after he has lost most of his cast. I guess if you are the adolescent that Lucas originally targeted these movies to, it may have been entertaining.

  5. Yeah, I would just stick with a flat white ceiling. You could look at a suspended fixture system commonly used in offices. LED fixtures with great light output and longevity. See www.fluxwerxs.com for some ideas. These are very compact fixtures (5"-6" tall). There are many companies producing fixtures like these.

  6. :lol2: what do you get your talking points and news from "Late Night hosts" as well? Please, blaming the tool is an intellectually weak argument and simply laughable.

     

    You can't legislate the hearts of men. Evil will find a way. Whether it's a truck like in European attacks, guns in England and Australia (where they are shockingly heavily regulated or banned) or airplanes. Separate your emotions, pull your head from the echo chamber and look deeper than the lame statement "he has guns."

     

    Ok, do you think he would have parked himself up on that 32 story hill if he did not have these types of weapons then? I don't watch TV at all. It is a waste of time. I am not on Facebook, I have no Instagram account like the rest of you.

  7. If he is actually using a large belt fed SMG, I completely agree with you......

     

    Thank you. We need to find out how he acquired this equipment. Yes, we have gun problems here, but handguns are rampant and there is no way they will be eliminated ever, so the problem persists. The use of the guns, however is 99% used by gangs, drug dealers, etc who have "reasons" for shooting up the neighborhood. Until these users disappear, we will continue to have deaths related to handguns. 57 deaths last month, a total equal to this destruction on a monthly basis.

  8. That's rational......And completely irrelevant. So in your thoughts, he just killed because he had the guns. Coming from a Chicago native, you wont be the first I'd ask on how to handle this situation as your city is the pinnacle case study on how more laws and gun control DONT work.....

     

    I would like to see a handgun do this damage from 1,000 feet. You don't get it do you? He needed these big ass weapons for one reason only and now we all know why. There is no reason for them to exist. To shoot milk jugs in the back yard?

     

  9. What in the hell could have driven this guy to do all this?

     

    He had guns. He amassed an arsenal of killing machines. He was normal. He wouldn't hurt a fly. He had guns. He killed with them. He was a gambler. he had a girlfriend. He had guns.

    Yes, he had big powerful killing machines. Whoever sold him these guns needs to hang in the center of town on a pole by his balls.

  10. They know. Trump has found a companion with the same Narcissistic Personality Disorder as him. NPD is a condition that has no cure, so the rhetoric from both sides will just continue on and on. It's so much fun to watch I can barely contain myself.

  11. Here was Walt Disney's philosophy to success: DREAM, BELIEVE, DARE, DO

     

    You need to DREAM about what you want to become or where you want to be.

    You need to honestly BELIEVE in yourself that you can make it happen.

    There will be plenty of people standing in your way and DARING that you will fail miserably in your goal.

    You need to finally proceed with your plan and just DO it.

     

    One of my current clients is the craziest and most driven guy I have ever known. His name is Jim Liautaud. He owns a sandwich chain of restaurants named Jimmy Johns. He is the epitome of this philosophy and gets things done by not asking but doing. To this day he has absolutely no business plan and he has close to 3,000 restaurants.

     

    I know you guys will do well because you are driven.

  12. The idiot continues to amaze me with his antics. He is going to blow off his hand if he keeps playing with these bottle rockets. Meanwhile, my daughter is now at Yonsei University and starting classes on Friday, so that's nice for dad....

  13. No, I believe the threat on Guam is a real threat, but while that situation is unfolding, maybe a different missile is launched from a different location/method at an unexpected target?

     

    IDK how hard that would be for NK to pull off undetected with so much defense around the area.

     

    Didn't a NK representative say that the missile could "pass by" guam due to GPS coordinate input error? I believe so.

     

    Still hoping this all blows over. But all the top brass is currently in SK. Doesn't seem like it. Just waiting on NK.

     

    Okay, I see where you are going. Seems like that is a good strategy if you are really playing for keeps, but seems like the little man is just trying to play war games out in the open. I suppose the US/Sk/Japan are prepared for that type of end around. I hope it ends soon, as my daughter heads over to SK in 7 days. Not really happy about any of this, obviously.
