  1. its the 2nd.  The steering is too tight in general.  I don't think they did any work on the steering though.  I actually trust this body shop, and it won't cost the manager anything to fix it, but it will cost the insurance company.

    Other than that, it really looks great.  I'll need to detail the interior, cause it is black, and they got a lot of dust in there.

  2. Well got my truck back.  Still 5000 worth of damage, but its all fixed.  They used all new factory parts.  I ended up getting a new set of Ford chrome running boards since they only match OEM parts.  They look just as good as the old ones. The bed isn't exactly straight, probably off my 1/2 inch.  You have to really look for it to notice though.   

    I have another problem though.  The steering is really stiff.  Body shop manager said that it probably has air in the line from being in the shop.  I drove 35 miles home, and its still the same.  He said if it wasn't normal by monday, that he'd take it over to the mechanical side (same shop) and get them to look at it.

  3. Not that I think we should be teaching kids that young about sex, but I think this raises an important question about sex education.  Obviously we've been doing it wrong for a long time.  I think it goes back to the fact that in this country, we treat sex as though its bad, and try to bury it and hide it.  I think thats the reason teens are doing it.  It's part of the teenage rebellion. 

    We celebrate violence on TV, but God forbid a nude butt show up on the screen.  Then you get 150 parents calling the local station to complain about seeing something that every human being has, and what 15% of our population is.  An ASS.....

  4. What exactly is this bold statement he is making?  "I hate America, I don't respect it at all.  I'm running for President with the sole purpose of handing it over to terrorists." 

    Did ya ever stop and think, maybe this guy is just kinda stupid.  Not that he isn't intelligent, just no common sense.  

    This raises another point.  All this post 9/11 pseudo patriotism is getting annoying.  I love this country as much as the next guy, but it's gotten to the point where you cant criticize our country at all without someone questioning your loyalty.  Before 9/11, nobody would give a damn about this photo.

    Perfect example would be those damn swift boat veteran's for truth.  How does someone who skipped Vietnam to do blow, have the balls to march those guys in front of him during the convention.....and over half of the country ate that BS up.....

  5. Well, its still in the shop, and they've got me in a rental.  (giant dodge RAM lol)

    I'll know the total amount of damage and repairs when I get it back.  Hopefully that will be early next week.  After the final cost is in, I can make my diminished value claim.  I think Nationwide is going to give me some hush money before that.

    If they screw with me, I think my arguement will go something like this:

    Sir your client was drunk, T-boned me and aggrevated my sciatica, left the scene, side-swipped 2 cars, hit 4 other parked cars, and hit a house.  You have 2 choices, go to court and lose, and pay my attorney and court costs, or shut up and give me my god da** money....

  6. If you do find one, it won't be good quality.  There are some programs that use a p2p type of system to broadcast TV, but the quality isn't there.  I was more interest in the Panthers vs Colts game.  I think the Panthers have the potential to have a huge year, and they looked like it tonight.  I was also looking forward to the Tennessee game, to see how our boy Chris Johnson was going to perform.  He showed he can outrun any defender in the NFL.  He certainly did it in college...  He is going to prove a lot of big mouth analysts wrong..

    Hooraaayy for football season...

  7. I think that students in public schools should be allowed to practice their religion or culture how they see fit.  Whether that means carrying a bible, or wearing a headdress.

    As long as the schools, or teachers aren't forcing or teaching any religion, Im fine with the rest.

  8. Im fine.  Luckliy he actually had insurance, and a license.  He won't now, since Hit and Run is a felony in NC.  I don't know if he was drunk or what, but he was definately stupid.

    The bed is bent, I can tell because it is not even on other side.  And it doesn't feel right when I drive it, so Im pretty sure the frame is at least slightly bent.  I hope they total it out.  At least now, I have an excuse to get something good on gas.  I don't want to buy a 4cyl truck, so it looks like I'll get a decent car, and try to find a cheap truck soon.

    I'll find out tomorrow.  I'll definately be in a rental though...ugh....I hope its something nice, like a Camry or Accord.

  9. So yeah I was a victim of a hit and run accident today.  The guy ran a stop sign and T-Boned me.  He proceeded to back up and flee the scene, only to hit a couple of other cars after he got away.  Funny thing is, a cop was standing at the intersection when it happend, so he radioed it in.  They caught him within 5 minutes.

    Im perfectly fine.  So much for my truck.

    Anyone else ever been hit and run?

  10. Thanks for the insight Sequoia , (  Btw GD =general discusion ) as it is the portal to the world for TMN ,and the stats are still dropping , my main concerne is the aim of terroism is to destablize the goverment of the attacked country , a form of sowing the seed of discontent  , it is a proved, cost efective way of winning ,the only efective form of defence is to turn the other cheek , hard enough to do , but it then throws back the message that it didn't hurt , no reaction is the  finish of the attacker ,  but throw a bomb back and kill one  terorist  and a dozen will spring up to take his place , just my thoughts

    I do some times forget your president is a queen ,

    Our Prime Minister is just that , the number one minister , and could  be fired at anytime , the military is under the comand of the Queen , the Queen could suspend parliment at any time it got out of hand , but then you could argue the Brits live under a herditary dictatorship ,  if push came to shove , LOL , most UK folk would stand by our Queen on that ,   

    Our Police are unarmed , we have a total of around 70 gun related deaths a year ,

    mostly due to Drug gangs figthting over an area ,, well It saves the taxpayer footing the jail cost , :evil6:

    and with a camera on very street corner ( one to every 14 Brits ) the police can put their feet up and have a coffee back at the yard  :lol:,

    If that is the case, then everything I was taught in school about the UK is completely wrong.  I was taught that the royal family had no power, and that all power remained in Parliament.  Figures....what does that say about our educational system?

    Mudman, I think that was his point.  Im no expert either.  THe only thing I can think of was the date he posted about when Islam was founded.

    And for the record, I didn't say I was pissed.  Thats not to say im not annoyed, but it would take a lot more than this conversation to piss me off.
