  1. Give it a couple more years. I don't think we'll be in that conversation until 2019 at the earliest... And that's if a lot of these guys reach their potential.

     

    OMFG. Five years? I'm sure there are a ton of suits in the arena who hope you're the typical fan, but come on, young laddy. You might have that much time, but I don't! (And, importantly, I don't think GMTM would agree with your assessment.)

  2. I get the 10 points back for making my minions do my research for me. bwwwwahahaha

     

    Doesn't "economically depressed" here or there get a little old? I mean, yeah, it is. But depressed is a pretty strong word. Maybe I just don't notice it anymore. I can't think of a time in my lifetime that this region hasn't been let's say recessed, or recessed-feeling. But, jeez, it's not like it's Calcutta. We're not all eating dirt, and liking it.

  3. I like having Ghost around here too. But I look at it like this: If I couldn't say it to a co-worker at a job, I'm not going to say it here. And I hold others to that as well.

     

    There are hundreds of members of this forum, and hundreds more who lurk. What if the first post they read is a long standing member making casual racist comments? Maybe we just lost Mike Grier as a reader?

     

    Mike Grier don't read.

  4. It's nice to see so many visitors dropped by to pay their respects (rubber neck). There's a 78.2% chance Joey B. finally had chz off the dude, literally or figuratively. Or nfreeman. The whole mod thing was probably just a smokescreen so nfreeman could do it.

  5. I really think you're worrying too much about it. When it dies in rural PA and you have a 50/50 chance of being shot by the 3-toothed farmer as you approach his home for help, that's when you should worry.

     

    But there's also a 50% chance he has a hot daughter, and there's pie.

  6. I have a 2006 Matrix with 135,000 miles. I've never touched the timing belt, I do need a new serpentine belt, but that's nothing.

     

    How do I know if my timing belt needs to be replaced?

     

    There may be some warning signs — squealing, etc. — but I think they just go.

     

    You guys are not helping! Now I really want to gamble. I think the Hyundais are reliable cars, and I have a hard time believing the timing belt is likely to break so close to the mileage it's supposed to be replaced at. I bet Hyundai knows that the likely danger zone is well into the future. Underpromise, overdeliver, something like that.

     

    You bastages. Your cars have timing chains, not belts. The chains never get replaced. (But please confirm this; I pretty much looked at the first site that came up in my search.)

  7. Cars. Urg. My car (2007 Elantra, yay me) just went past 90,000 miles. I know it's due for a timing belt (and probably was at 60,000 miles if I considered my driving to be under severe conditions, which I don't, even though Hyundai probably would — driving on salt covered roads, etc.) but I am putting it off. Don't want to spend the $500, which seems like highway robbery. I guess I'm pre-emptively complaining about the fact that the belt will break one of these days and cause untold engine damage; I"m also complaining about the fact that I'll probably replace a belt one of these days before that calamity happens that probably has tens of thousands of miles left on it. Is inspecting the belt a reliable way of determining how much life it has left?

  8. I think we all know the answer to the first question.

     

    I wasn't clear. I know why he's getting the attention. He's a minor celebrity. Maybe it wasn't right to call it a perp walk, unless someone in the investigation tipped off the media.

     

    I guess what I'm asking is why Vanek would be brought in as a witness, above so many others. Number of bets? Amount of bets?
