On any given ICE vehicle that has inline drivetrains, this isn't an issue. Unfortunately, the Corolla is transverse mounted ICE, which means the engine and drive train sit across the front of your vehicle rather than running down it. To fit a motor between the ICE and tranny would widen the drive train (and front of the car).
I find it interesting that cows would prefer to have cold air blown up their rears than into their eyes. On second thought, I don't really find that interesting at all.
Well, your post makes me think that Florida is just full of crazy. I mean, really, what are the odds that you will have a friend who is paranoid and a brother is has the same paranoia? That means one of two things: 1. You are living in a mental hospital or 2. You work for the government and they don't "know" it!
Ha! Well...eh...I work in a helpdesk world and we see failures all of the time. Granted, the classic BSD doesn't make its appearance as much, but we are now saddled instead with the stuck computer. Basically, MS replaced the mandatory restart with a locked up computer that can occasionally be recovered.
This is one of the most fascinating aspects of the conservative right. When the left were in power, the right had no problem stepping down to this emotional level. Now that they have power, suddenly this behavior is beneath them.
How is this justified? Granted, behaving this way is immature and I don't believe that it is the best way to move forward. That being said, it sure looks like the classic example of a hypocrite.
Oh, and war isn't the answer to all problems, which is the often repeated sentiment when I also broach that question to the same people you would like to ask. They say that they express this opinion in the context that recent events are always being structured around war as the answer.
That's a fun theory. Let's try it out. I run a very successful IT department and my degree is in History. Hmmmm. I have a collegue who is also very successful and has introduced many cutting edge processes. She also holds a history degree. I have never taken a computer class of any sort, not certs, nothing. I have been playing with computers since the early 80s though.
It doesn't matter how many certs you have. What matters is what experience you have and how willing you are to learn. I don't hire people based on their classroom education, I hire based on what they've done in the past and how they answer my questions.
I have removed my seats and occasionally hose out the interior as well. I own a Jeep and that is part of the joy of owning one. You can hose them out quite easily and the seats are easy to remove. Just saying!
This is true....and if I were in Cheney's boots, I'd sit tight until after I leave office and than enjoys the spoils of my labors. In two years, after he has left office, I'd like to have this discussion again. I would wager that Cheney will be right back at Haliburton or at the very least, receiving payment.
Time will judge the right and wrong and I fear that America will not look good as a direct result of the Bush administration's actions.
Okay, so a group of lawbreakers will be deterred from behaving poorly by a new law....hmmmm....there seems to be a problem with this idea...
The problem with these laws (all of them, guns, drugs, etc) is that the people who cause harm are people who ignore laws. This is no different than DRM. People who can break the law will get what they want while law abiding people get punished for doing the right thing.
So did Lincoln. Lincoln also violated many constitutional rights to preserve the Union. FDR may have violated rights, but to preserve the US. Nothing that Bush has done in anyway has helped to protect us. Quite to the contrary.
What evidence beyond very partisan websites do you have that the Clintons were involved in murder. That is a very big accusation. I wouldn't call the crap storm he went through "getting away with it" when the current president can "get away" with sacrificing over 4000 of our best in a war with no clear justification while at the same time engendering hate and ill will against America across the globe. Bush has literally and provable gotten away with mass murder.
How are Nixon and Clinton comparable? Clinton lied about an affair he had while Nixon lied about spying on the other party in an election!!!
What did FDR do that even remotely compares to leading America into a worthless, pointless war in the process increasing the threat to our people? I'm really befuddled by your comparison.
Now a better comparison would be Bush to well perhaps Lyndon Johnson. He declined to run again, Bush didn't.
No problem. I encourage you to build that forge you spoke of. Depending on your location, coal, gas or even charcoal and coke are readily available. A simple side draft forge is easily made by placing a pipe across a metal bowl with a supply of air at the other end. Best to you!
I don't know if you're in America or even east coast, but if you are, I highly recommend the http://www.folkschool.org/John Campbell School for solid introduction to blacksmithing.
I am a blacksmith. I use straight coal for my forging. The act of burning the coal transforms the coal around it into coke. This coke is what I then move into the fire. The water he was using was to keep the fire from expanding (probably had a poor fire pot or a side draft forge). Now I do use special coal. Metallurgical grade coal burns hotter and cleaner than heating coal.
As for using other fuels. I've successfully used charcoal in my forge. In fact charcoal has been used longer than coal. Charcoal was used exclusively in the production of iron and steel until the industrial revolution created a need for lower quality coal produced iron. Charcoal is (was) made by cooking wood until all of the non-carbon impurities are baked off leaving a very clean burning solid. This was done historically my building mounds of wood with a small fire at the center. They would them cover this with grass and dirt to keep oxygen from getting to the fire and causing the carbon to burn. These would be tended for days until the wood had completely charred.
Today's blacksmiths use gas forges and coal forges because they are easier to work with and procuring supplies is easier. Oh, and blacksmithing isn't a dying art. Don't let anybody tell you that it is. I know of several hundred blacksmiths in central Virginia alone. I live 100 yards from a fully functional blacksmith shop (though I don't work there, I often hang out there). There are at least four other studios in town. Hobby blacksmiths (like I have become since leaving the field and entering IT) are everywhere. Just search for blacksmith guilds and you'll see they are all over the place.
That would be like insurance companies wanting auto insurance to be mandatory.
In North Carolina (at least when I lived there), the Insurance companies basically got that law passed. If you don't have insurance on your car, you have to surrender your plates to the state!!

We prefer to let people go on Fridays....
Your own link shows that Australia and the UK both have much higher incidences of robbery than America, despite both having extreme gun laws.
So your point was...?
Amen!
Wait...

Your ideas intrigue me. I'd like to invest in your company...
Typical, Alway's bringing the President into the conversation....

You are naive, ignorant, short sighted, and have an offensive disregard for the natural world.
...but we like you anyway! :-)

HEY! Heeeeey...hey....
Rats....you're right.
Now "Dude" can be used as can "F#ck" in context all by itself.

My god! You just betrayed that you also read TFA! Mods! Ask this man to leave his /. card at the door!

Could be.... if you add fish to the name!
