  4. I've heard plenty of good things about TQs, so I went with a set of TQ Organic and Wagner rotors. Next week I should be putting them on.
  5. Maybe if you're blind. I expect better from someone as detail oriented as you.
  6. Saw the neighborhood Viper SRT-10 roadster again today. What a treat that always is. Saw a blue Camaro...first blue one I recall seeing.
  7. Wait, did the guy not pay for it for years or just a one year laps?
  8. Well he said he forgot to pay the bill and realized that was the reason for them not answering. People forget, it happens. Even so, I don't think a loss of home, all possession and pets while the firefighters watch it burn is justifiable. Make him pay fines or something. Or her's an idea. Incorporate the bill into the yearly taxes like the civilized world does. Then, unless he's evading taxes, he'd probably have paid for it with his taxes and wouldn't be without a home.
  9. I don't know, I watched an interview of him on MSNBC, I recall nothing about politics being mentioned. I recall him calling 911 and they wouldn't answer. When he realized it was because of the bill he said e would pay whatever it took to save his home, but that obviously fell on deaf ears. He also said exceptions had been made before and they waved the fee. And either way, what if their had been people in there? Their lives are worth less than $75. never mind that animals were killed. I'm sure people like CSpec could care less about them. However I think it's awful. From what I heard mentioned about the tea party, in another story, the news anchor likened what the fire department did to what the tea party what. Don't quote me on this though. I'd have to find that video and see it.
  10. Back in my day we used candles and that was good enough for us. Dang young whipper snappers and their new fangled electricity. It's mad I tell you, MAD. Why someday they'll all be running around with phones that don't require a cord to work, and news will be broadcast through one of those crazy video boxes instead of printed on good old paper like when I were a wee lad. And horseless carriages will replace horses all together. It's all MAD I TELL YOU!
  11. Yeah if it had BP's headquarters on fire he'd be sympathetic. Big corporation and all.
  12. Clearly not a fan a halfway decent packaging.
  13. Get a dash harness from another one. Swap the whole thing out.
  14. Cool, hopefully that puts and end to your issues.
  15. I bet you that if this way the mayor's home or the fire chief's home they'd have waved the fee for a day.
  16. They are absolutely terrible people. To allow a person's home and life to be destroyed, pets to be killed, then have the audacity to show up an to watch it burn. What if there were people in there? I guess their lives aren't important because of a stupid $75 fee. A fee the man was willing to pay, he simply forgot. People forget things, it happens. You don't let their lives be ruined because of it, at least if you're a decent human being. Maybe it's because I don't live in some backwater third world part of the country, but where I live fire department is a public service that is paid for by taxes, just like the police department. That stupid fee should just be part of the tax form anyway. Absolutely despicable.

  18. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/39516346/ns/us_news-life/?gt1=43001 Firefighters in rural Tennessee let a home burn to the ground last week because the homeowner hadn't paid a $75 fee. Gene Cranick of Obion County and his family lost all of their possessions in the Sept. 29 fire, along with three dogs and a cat. "They could have been saved if they had put water on it, but they didn't do it," Cranick told MSNBC's Keith Olbermann. The fire started when the Cranicks' grandson was burning trash near the family home. As it grew out of control, the Cranicks called 911, but the fire department from the nearby city of South Fulton would not respond. "We wasn't on their list," he said the operators told him. Cranick, who lives outside the city limits, admits he "forgot" to pay the annual $75 fee. The county does not have a county-wide firefighting service, but South Fulton offers fire coverage to rural residents for a fee. Cranick says he told the operator he would pay whatever is necessary to have the fire put out. His offer wasn't accepted, he said. The fire fee policy dates back 20 or so years. "Anybody that's not inside the city limits of South Fulton, it's a service we offer. Either they accept it or they don't," said South Fulton Mayor David Crocker. The fire department's decision to let the home burn was "incredibly irresponsible," said the president of an association representing firefighters. "Professional, career firefighters shouldn’t be forced to check a list before running out the door to see which homeowners have paid up," Harold Schatisberger, International Association of Fire Fighters president, said in a statement. "They get in their trucks and go." Firefighters did eventually show up, but only to fight the fire on the neighboring property, whose owner had paid the fee. "They put water out on the fence line out here. They never said nothing to me. Never acknowledged. They stood out here and watched it burn," Cranick said. South Fulton's mayor said that the fire department can't let homeowners pay the fee on the spot, because the only people who would pay would be those whose homes are on fire. Cranick, who is now living in a trailer on his property, says his insurance policy will help cover some of his lost home. "Insurance is going to pay for what money I had on the policy, looks like. But like everything else, I didn't have enough." After the blaze, South Fulton police arrested one of Cranick's sons, Timothy Allen Cranick, on an aggravated assault charge, according to WPSD-TV, an NBC station in Paducah, Ky. Police told WPSD that the younger Cranick attacked Fire Chief David Wilds at the firehouse because he was upset his father's house was allowed to burn. WPSD-TV reported that Wilds was treated and released.
  19. Maybe you should try another shop. Have you tried checking for codes? You can do so with the keydance. Turn the key to accessory, then ff, and do this 2 more times. On the 3rd time leave it in acc. The odometer screen will then go into diagnostic mode and display any generic fault codes it finds.
