Nice car. Tires get expensive fast as the rims get bigger.

Pics or it didn't happen.  :)

    Which is why there's noise ordinances....   Like I said, if this place doesn't have one now, it will soon thanks to this guy. 

    Comfort and accessibility.  There's plenty of more conventional carry options that conceal just as well and are way more comfortable and accessible. 

It's his property and he should be able to do what he wants with it.  But my guess is noise ordinances will shut it down.  If there's not a noise ordinance now, there will be before long.

CYA is exactly what they're doing.  The value of those cars is nil in comparison to the expense of lawsuits should some moron hurt themselves in one of the cars.  They don't meet federal safety or emissions standards and are a huge liability because of that.   I dealt with a handful of prototype cars during my time in the auto industry (a Viper was one of them).  The vast majority of those cars were complete basket cases and a total nightmare to do anything with.  Simply registering them (even in TN!) was a major PITA because of all the paperwork involved.  We had a BMW Z3 that the local dealer refused to work on.  After a few years, most all of them got scrapped.    And while I think the Viper is a really cool car... the early one's were complete POS's.  It's a parts bin car with a big motor, zoomy bodywork, and a huge price tag.  They were rattle traps, rode horribly, and generally just fell apart with any real use.  Later versions were/are much better cars. 

I renewed it at the office and it went smooth.  I got their early and was 2nd in line.  Even with the fact that mine was the first renewal that particular clerk processed and she had to ask a coworker a few questions, it took maybe 15 minutes.  I got it back in a few weeks. 

Wow.  That article brings up lots of questions for me... but I'll just say I'm glad she caught him.

Glad it's not neurological.  My 6 yr old has made us wonder about his vision a time or two given a few strange things he's said.  But whatever he was talking about either wasn't real or went away very quickly.  Good to get the little ones checked out regardless. 

  I've spent a bit of time in all three of those places, but not lived in any of them.    Mt. Juliet is just a suburb of the greater Nashville area.  Until you live there a while, you won't know where Mt. Juliet begins/ends and where the next community on the list begins/ends.  That said, it's a nice enough place.  Too busy for my taste, but all the amenities of the big city are nearby if you want them.   Lebanon has a smaller town feel.  Its close enough to Nashville to be somewhat convienent, but far enough out that it's not quite so busy.  It's grown a lot over the years but still seems to have that small town vibe.  One of my good friends lives near Lebanon and several other good friends grew up there.    Tullahoma basically exists because of AEDC.  If the base wasn't there, Tullahoma would still be a cross roads.  Nice enough little town.  Kinda in the middle of nowhere, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. 

I'm sure the folks behind the counter are getting a kickback for their trouble. 

    Don't like the law?  Tell them to change it.  If they won't change it, vote in someone who will.    http://www.legislature.state.tn.us/legislators/   Don't like the school policy?  Tell them to change it.  https://www.cmcss.net/aboutus/schoolboard.aspx

During a run to raise money for the Pat Tillman Foundation, a 95 year old WWII vet came out in full uniform to cheer on the folks running past his house.  You can guess what happened next...   :usa:     http://www.thepostgame.com/blog/good-sports/201403/408k-race-san-jose-world-war-ii-veteran-salute-pat-tillman    

This wasn't a college, it was a high school. Knives of any sort are banned. If you have any knife at a school, you have intent to go armed (which has never really been defined).

What they said.  If it's not obviously corroded, I'd just shoot it. 

If you have one piece of heated gear, get a vest. I'd have to agree on the hard tail idea... Sounds like a quick way to make a good back go bad.

I know I flew back and forth to Detroit several times before TSA in Detroit finally found a big, cheap Swiss Army knife copy I'd left in my bag. It had to have been there for at least 5 or 6 trips before they found it. It had been there for years and I'd completely forgotten about it. I put a cheapo in there on purpose so I wouldn't care if it got lost or stolen.

    Could be that the spring is supposed to be that way.   Fully compressing the spring causes the metal to yield slightly.  Repeating that a few times causes the metal to work harden and "take a set", so it is different from when it was new.  A thoughtful designer would know that's what's going to happen and compensate for it in other ways.   I had an application in a previous life where this was exactly the case.  The act of installing the spring in it's assembly over stressed the spring and caused it to yield.          Keeping a little oil on a steel spring is always a good idea simply because it helps prevent corrosion.  It only takes a little corrosion pit to start a crack and kill a spring in short order.  Spray your garage door springs with WD-40 once or twice per year and they'll last longer. 

I am an engineer and have designed a few springs.... A properly designed spring will not weaken by being left compressed. And by "properly designed" I mean designed such that the stress in the spring when compressed to the max in its application is low enough that the material doesn't fatigue significantly over time/cycles. Sometimes it's not physically possible to do that. The requirements of packaging, rate, etc. may be such that you simply can't get there and the spring will eventually fail in one way or another. And while a spring may be designed for "infinite" life, sometimes they don't get made correctly. The temper may be off a bit or it may have some corrosion or something like that. When people disassemble anything with a spring in it, they tend to like mashing the spring completely flat into "coil bind". That's generally a really bad idea. If the spring doesn't go into coil bind in its application, it's likely you're over stressing it by doing that and causing permanent damage to the spring. The same thing goes with extension or torsion spring. Stretch or twist them too far and you'll ruin them.

My motorcycle needs one of those stickers.

I did the opposite and rode street (sport) bikes for 15 yrs before getting a dirt bike. It's been quite the adjustment as (nearly) everything is backwards now. But I can certainly see the benefits of riding in the dirt.

Unless you just want to shorten it, counter boring it is a lot easier.

Both mobile and full site working fine on my eyefone. I installed the update the other day.

Among the many reasons why I wear a full face helmet...
