    1979 Chevy Blazer 4x4 $650

    I'm coming to IN for business in June. Will it drive back to VA? IM or post pics please.

    Whats your ethnicity?

    Pale and American, my blue eyes and brown hair have Irish roots. When I let it grow out, my beard is red and I start feeling all Nordic when I pick up my hammer.

    I was stupid. I'm going to jail.

    She knows she's loved. Trust me. ...although, if I could finagle a ride in a Blackhawk for her she'd know it even more.

    I was stupid. I'm going to jail.

    Thank you all. Things are already going well. I spent a wonderful sober weekend with the wife and son and I'm off to a better-paying job tomorrow. The wife's sometimes-infuriating stubborn-ness apparently applies to her love for me as well. I'm coming away from this mostly intact and lucky...

    I was stupid. I'm going to jail.

    Technically I was sentenced to 365 days in jail with 305 days suspended, 10 days mandatory sentence for the 2nd offense, 5 days additional mandatory for my BAC. VA takes off a certain percentage for good behavior right off the top (?). It worked out to the 7 days I served before bonding out...

    I was stupid. I'm going to jail.

    You'll hear no complaints from me. Nothing happened to me that I can't overcome. I'm just thankful that I didn't do anything irrevocable to anyone else. I'm fortunate enough to be back home tonight with a new perspective on life and my family. I respect the opinions of everyone who posted...

    I was stupid. I'm going to jail.

    It's very hard for me to bite my tongue against those who cast stones. I'll just assume they are without sin. For those who wish to write: K. Prickett c/o Amherst County Jail P.O. Box 598 Amherst, VA 24521

    I was stupid. I'm going to jail.

    I was in fact shitfaced. I had NO business on the road. I could make excuses, but there are none that make up for what I did. My guardian angel that night was the cop that pulled me over and prevented me from doing anyone any harm. I'd still appreciate some jail mail. K. Prickett c/o...

    I was stupid. I'm going to jail.

    As I understand it, in most Middle Eastern countries, the last time I used my head would be just before I became severed from it. I know I f'd up, and I've quit drinking. (This experience has cost me a lot more than $$ and 30 days of my life, [home, marriage, relationship with child, job] not...

    No more cat tracks on the hood!

    Yeah, nothing like severed cat head in your driver's seat first thing in the morning. :)

    I was stupid. I'm going to jail.

    Thanks, all. Support is appreciated. Recriminations are understood. A lesson has been learned. Keep it coming. Court costs alone would have bought me an MJ or a 3.5" lift and 31's. Damn my stupid ass.

    I was stupid. I'm going to jail.

    I made a really stupid decision, and luckily no one got wrecked, hurt or killed. I got a DUI this past Thanksgiving, and tomorrow I'm going to jail for 30 days because I was also stupid 8 years ago when I got my first DUI. I admit my stupidity and lack of responsibility. I ask for no...

    Questions that make you go hmmmm...

    Why was the sign on the door of the flight planning room at my last airport subtitled in braille? Just for information? How about all the signs inside?

    Looking for a good place to have my Cherokee repaired

    Is there a full moon out? A new user just asked a simple question, only got one politely worded suggestion to search, then an offer for advice and discounted parts from an experienced mechanic with mutiple references from other users. I've got this warm-fuzzy/surreal feeling. :)

    Personal Best. Taxes filed!

    January 20th and the itemized taxes are DONE! I'm even getting money back this time! God bless my company's decision to make the W-2's available online!

    Things you would change on your XJ?

    Disc brakes on all 4 corners. Coil springs on all 4 corners. No Infinity sound system ever. Decent bumpers with integrated tow-hooks/D-rings/hitch receivers like the (gasp!) H3. Rubberized/Rhino'd floors instead of carpet. Every bolt on the vehicle should be either 1/2 or 9/16 just like my old...

    this has got to be one of the worst stucks ever!

    I appreciate the re-post. I found the pictures amusing and would never have seen them otherwise, seeing as I don't visit every single Jeep site on the web and I don't read 2 year old "stuck" posts. Some folks waste more of their own time bitching about re-posts than the person posting it did...

    Royce Gracie vs. Matt Hughes in May

    The Gracies do kick ass in the ring/octagon/whatever. However, I stopped watching UFC years ago when they basically took over. Groundfighting and grappling may win the fight, but it's boring as hell to watch.

    Are Optima batteries really worth the $$$?

    I've got a red-top in the XJ and no problems since I bought it two years ago. The real testimonials are the electric vehicles (airline tugs and beltloaders) at work. These use anywhere from one to eight red tops. We use 'em hard and run them darn near dry regularly. In the last two years...
