    Wanted: Late 70s/Early 80s Japanese Car

    Yeah, I know all about K-Cars. You can get turbo ones cheap and they can be made to go like stink. However I want something quirky. I think I may end up shelving the idea until I have a little more money in my pocket. Taking the bus to work (yech) means very little mileage on my Jeep...

    The Economy

    Nothing personal taken. I respect your opinion and also the fact that I have no desire to change your mind, nor do I feel like I have any right to or would even be able to. Politics and religion are two issues that are always divisive and don't serve to better any discussion about the Pine...

    Your Topozone.com Replacement

    Printing from it is dodgy at best. One of the first options you see should be portrait or landscape.

    The Economy

    First off, what makes you think that I am wealthy? Obama is planning on raising taxes on those who make more than $250k/yr. I am a single income household. I make under $100k/yr. We barely scrape by. So while I may have a nice income, it's mostly spoken for, and taxed all to hell. No, he's...

    Gentle Reminder about the Image Gallery

    You can host non-Pine Barrens photos at flickr or any one of the other free image hosting sites. The forum is not the image gallery. Two separate things.

    Pine Barrens Clean up Oct 26th.

    Okay, that's good. Because it seems like the state is doing whatever they can to discourage motorized recreation in the Pines. At the same time this cleanup saves them thousands of man-hours of time and money every year.

    Pine Barrens Clean up Oct 26th.

    Does the state ever give you guys an official 'thank you'?

    The Economy

    I don't know how they fix it either. All I know is that Life Was Good (tm) under Clinton, and Life Has Sucked (tm) under Bush. I like Obama's message. It seems like he's going to win, and it seems like the Dems will control Congress as well. They'll at least be able to get things done, versus...

    The Economy

    I don't mind if the people who make $250k+ a year pay higher taxes. Generally those people end up paying a lower % of their income in taxes than the middle class do. I also realize that if I want top notch services, the money has to come from somewhere. People keep saying that taxes are too...

    Wanted: Late 70s/Early 80s Japanese Car

    Sent him an email, no answer. I'm not in any great rush either.

    Preserving Amatol

    In most cases that's all you can do. It's sad to see the state that the Brooksbrae Brick Company ruins are in compared to 5 years ago.

    The Economy

    Ugh, that's what a high budget LIP video would look like. Of course the type of people who show up on TheStreet.com TV are going to be against Obama's plan. They're going to end up paying more in taxes. For anybody to say that we're in a worse economic shape than 1929 is ludicrous. We...

    Pineys in Maine?

    I have some Hunter S. Thompson to read but maybe I'll grab one of these from the library. Which do you suggest to start?

    Where? Do you have a link?

    The Economy

    Yes. My family and I are going to be killed by roving motorcycle gangs looking for rice and beans when the economy collapses. I feel better already. :clint:

    Wanted: Late 70s/Early 80s Japanese Car

    Old AMC Eagles are cool, too. If anybody sees some old Japanese car or an Eagle on their travels, let me know.

    You just wrestled the title of 'most depressing poster' away from Tom with that one.

    Wanted: Late 70s/Early 80s Japanese Car

    Yeah, this is the one I'm looking for. It's the generation before.

    Tom, that video is awesome. When the economy is good, though, you're going to see more cupcake cars:
