  I had a plate on the front of my car. And I'm not even American :P   (It was from the site Kieefer mentions above. I can't recommend it, it faded really quickly)

I'm seeing more of the ol' Gadsden around.

  Glad I am not the only one who was thinking this.   Getting into this kind of deal with families is what turns minor disagreements into full-on disputes.   If you want to go in this direction, either buy two parcels of land or parcel off what you do buy immediately with no debts outstanding (between you. To banks on an individual basis is OK). Recognize that each may wish to sell their parcel at any time for any reason and agree that if that happens, you'll part amicably.

Dang. I think the kit I bought has something like that clamshell. I guess I may be working out how to print something up.

Hmm. No emails. I'll give them a call tomorrow.   (I'm thinking it was D&T arms I picked. The invoice doesn't state which)

I'm a procrastinator so nothing yet. Should be by the weekend though.

Considering that so many people are pleased because they get a rebate, that may not be as helpful as we'd hope.

Good deal?   https://www.primaryarms.com/RRA-Entry-Tactical-R4-Upper-Half-p/ar0841b.htm   (Can't be, it's still available)   Cheaper still   https://www.primaryarms.com/ATI-16-Complete-Upper-Half-p/atihd1001.htm

They shouldn't be living in DC. A month or two every couple of years should be sufficient. In fact, these days, they should be telecommuting.

Oh. I wonder if that was the call I got about 30 minutes ago but couldn't answer. Probably not. Wrong area code.   Nope. Ignore this post.

Nevermind :)

Nice deal. OOS now on the uppers or I'd jump in.

  When the FF set things up, there was not universal suffrage.   I'd like to make "No taxation without representation" reciprocal. "No representation without taxation". If you're receiving money from the government, whether it be welfare, as a politician or working for a government contractor etc, no vote for you. That would sort things out quickly.

I hope someone goes back and checks with him again when there's a Republican president.   FWIW, I'm not a big fan of term limits for any position. They're just a band-aid for a bigger problem. Though possibly a necessary band aid.   If you've ever worked with someone who's given in their notice and just doesn't care... Imagine that's for four years.

Soooo many reasons not to go to these things.

Tragic, avoidable but probably does not reach the level of criminal IMO.

Sure. But you used solid numbers. Perhaps you could reformulate the query? If I get what you're asking though, I'd probably respond that people should avoid maneuvers that cause other to have to swerve or adjust their speed drastically, avoid obstructing traffic and avoid putting others in danger by following too closely.

Oh, and slow passing people, passing slowly means you are hanging out in another vehicle's blind spot for a stupidly long amount of time. You're asking to be side-swiped.

From your post. 75-70=5. Other speeds may also be acceptable but I was replying directly to you. From direct observation, I would say that 2mph was too slow. That's below walking speed. It's not unusual to see cars that would be able to have a quick hand of bridge with the driver of the vehicle they're passing also. If I am travelling 2mph or less faster than the car in front, I will typically slow down to their speed. If/when I decide to overtake (typically because they drop their speed either because they run into slower traffic or just because some people just have really bad speed control), I will bump my speed up to pass them smoothly and safely. Not particularly because of other traffic in the passing lane but just because hanging out next to other vehicles is a dangerous and unsafe place to be (and in the case of those poor speed control people, they will usually see me passing, suddenly notice their speed has dropped and add a little more gas themselves).

  I'd say a 5mph difference is sufficient. I don't mind what speed anyone is doing in the passing lane as long as they're actually passing (and pull over when done). If it takes a mile for you to pass a vehicle, you're not passing. Even worse is the ones who almost get there and then slow down and start dropping back. What is going through these peoples minds?   Note that these slow passers are also the assholes who will box you in at 70 and run you right up to that semi in front of you doing 60. You can't drop back because there are people behind you and even if you could, there are probably people behind *them*. Your options become 60 or 80.   We all have a right to be on the road (min speed 40 on interstates though I'd say if you're going that slow, you're also doing something wrong) but we also have an obligation to allow the smooth flow of traffic. If there's twenty cars lined up behind you and a mile of open road in front of you, again, you're doing it wrong.   As for pulling out in front of me into the passing lane, It depends. If I can decelerate easily to their speed just by letting off on the gas, it's probably good. If I have to brake to match their speed, not so much.

You should have pretended to shoot him with a bow and arrow.

Hey, I added the address I gave to my Paypal account and the money showed up so I guess we're good to go. Over to you, guys. Sorry for the confusion.

I kinda messed up the email. Trying to work it out (or if the email auto-resends, I will get it this time) but I see where the email tried to come in so if longshoot is keen to pick them up, that's fine by me.   Edit: Looks like there's a "remind" button on the paypal page somewhere. Longshoot, if you could click that, I think it should resend the email.
