  1. A Jeep friend sent this too me. I found it too funny not to share. I am glad to know according to this guy, I qualify to own a Jeep. (My Balls of Steel are kept on my chest where I can show them off) http://enid.craigslist.org/cto/4119280944.html 1997 Jeep Cherokee (XJ) 220K Miles 4.0 L in-line 6 4WD AUTOMATIC Transmission Bright Red Straight Stock Crank Windows, no cruise, no tilt, no delay wiper, no nonsense POWER MIRRORS! Woo Hoo! $1750 Here's the deal, kids: This is a Jeep Cherokee. This is not a luxury SUV, or a maintenance-free disposable import. It has solid front axles, wind noise, and character. It's a Jeep. It rides like a Jeep. It drives like a Jeep. All of these are GOOD things. It is not new, it is not pristine, it is used. This will be apparent in the pictures. If you do not own a toolbox, have never changed your own oil, and are scared of firearms: THIS VEHICLE IS NOT FOR YOU. If you have been posting on facebook all about how excited you are for pumpkin latte season: THIS VEHICLE IS NOT FOR YOU. If you get offended easy and often, whine to your co-workers, and bitch a lot: THIS VEHICLE IS NOT FOR YOU. If you feel you are owed anything in the world & have a bullshit job where you fail to produce: THIS VEHICLE IS NOT FOR YOU. If you own a bieber album, white oakleys, affliction t-shirts, or those candy-assed stitched-pocket jeans: THIS VEHICLE IS NOT FOR YOU. If you consider the 2nd Amendment an anachronistic relic and have never owned a firearm: THIS VEHICLE IS NOT FOR YOU. If, however, you have BALLS OF STEEL and consider adverse weather an excuse to do stupid shit: THIS IS YOUR JEEP. Do you laugh at danger, and tempt fate? Have you ever uttered the words, "Hold my beer and watch this ..."? While bored at work do you pick targets at random and think, "I could hit that from here with the .22 ..."? Have any of your friends quit hanging out because you were too much fun? Do you have the number of a friend with cash memorized for bail? When you pass an abandoned flatbed farm truck along a fenceline do you consider taking on another project? Is your ol' lady really sick of the random piles of parts, greasy footprints, and empty beer bottles in the garage? -could you not care less? Do you have Jalopnik saved on your laptop AND smartphone? Do you own a service manual for every vehicle you ever owned? Do you still miss your first ride? Can you carry on a two hour conversation discussing tools, scars, and hi-lift jacks? Remember when tool companies had the balls to put half-naked beauty queens on their calendars? Do you consider the Prius an abominable affront to the Gods of displacement, torque, and All Mighty Internal Combustion? If you answered in the affirmative to the preceding: THIS IS YOUR JEEP. DETAILS: -I am the second owner. First owner barely got it dirty and engaged the front axles once. -I have remedied this excessive caretaking with muddy roads and a pile of fun. -The motor uses a little oil. How much? I don't know, I'm not collecting statistical analysis points. I check the oil, I fill the oil, I drive. Not enough to bother me. -It leaks a little oil. How much? Not enough for me to care. It has 220,000 miles, Poindexter! If you have a vehicle with 220K NOT leaking or burning oil, it's empty! -Rear bumper has a big-ass crease in it. I dented it backing into a concrete pole. Sober. We drove away giggling, for the record. Haven't fixed it. -Driver's side door was caught by the wind, whipped forward, got into the LF quarter panel. -Radiator has a small leak. Pinhole. I can replace the radiator or you can. Really doesn't matter A new radiator and hoses will run $145. If you don't want to replace them I will. Add $250 to the price of vehicle. This includes radiator, hoses, and labor (beer). A freaking bargain. -The badass little 4.0L bullet-proof in-line six starts and runs like the proverbial champ. -Tranny and 4WD operate perfectly -Tires will need replaced in a couple thousand miles. I haven't upgraded because I had plans: Had planned a small lift, upgrade to 17" Wrangler wheels, and more aggressive tires. Life got in the way - it ain't happening. -Zombie stickers on the right rear window stay. My daughter's idea, take it up with her. -Flogging Molly sticker stays as well. They kick ass, so there. QUESTIONS: -Why are you selling? I can't justify owning it anymore. Motorsickles, kiddos, work, travel, and beer have consumed my time and money. Someone else needs to appreciate the Jeep for what it is: awesome mechanical artistry. -What's wrong with it? Radiator. Small oil leaks. Driver's side door cosmetic issues. And it's pissed it has been neglected and parked. It needs rescued. -Does the 4WD work? Hell yes. Like a Dickensian Orphan. -Will you sell me the [engine / tranny / rear door / axle / etc.]? No. I'm not in the salvage business. Buy the Jeep. Love the Jeep. Give the Jeep a home. -Will you take [insert ridiculously stupid low number here]? No. If I wanted [ridiculously low number] I would have asked [ridiculously low number] Want a cheap car? Get your kid that lowered tuner piece of shit honda project down the road. I think I'm plenty cheap for this bad mofo. -Why is it still stock? Because I bought it for a daily driver with the intention of turning it into a project. I haven't had the time to do so. So I am selling it. -Can I put a 6" lift and giant tires on it? I don't give a shit. But be sure to use quality components and for God's sake - get it aligned after a lift! -Would this make a good car for my daughter? Hell. Yes. Not only a good car, a learning experience. Introduction to vehicular maintenance. Additionally, there isn't really enough room in the back for that little bastard she's dating to try anything. -Can you deliver? Within reason. I'd drive it a hundred miles or so. But really, you should come get it. Look it over. Have a beer. Etc. -Will you take a check / cashier's check / Western Union Transfer / Nigerian Promissory Note? Would you take a ball pein hammer to the forehead? No. I'll take Cash. Period. Bring cash or don't show. -Will you ship to -? No. See above. -No, really, all I have is [lowball dollar amount]? That's great, I don't give a shit. Unicef ain't running this deal, and until they do I want $1750. Why? Because I don't HAVE to sell this little beauty. Truth be known, I'd rather keep it. But if it's going to a good home - I will sell. Unless you're an asshole - then no sale. -Why are you such a dick? Everything is relative; you should see my friends. Any other questions, feel free to reply to this email and ask.

  2. Then your shit is probably available to hackers. More to come. https://www.trustedsec.com/news-and-events/ "We’ve also identified some significant ones that we can’t post online due to the critical nature of them and attempting to contact the development team for the website to remediate.

  7. the only reason they keep this stuff under wraps is to protect big oil profits, if they can keep us in the dark they can buy the oil at 1/2 or 1/3 of the price as it becomes available and keep prices up.

  9. Dude you make shit wayyyyyy too complicated, and there comes a point where a person stops being a human being and they have no further purpose on this Earth. You wanna pay for worthless pieces of shit like this to stay alive and get 4 hots and a cot, then you might have your morals out of check. Many women choose to have a legal abortion and they must live forever with that decision, yet you do not agree with killing a seriously deranged and evil premeditated murderer of an innocent CHILD? "Are you a hardcore extremist who believes punishment deters crime or are you a progressive who believe the whole constitution is an out of date document written by racist white folk"? What the hell does it matter concerning what my political stances are, and you seem a bit bitter throwing around the racist white folk comment. I am an eye for an eye kind of guy, this country has become too soft and is run by a bunch of paid off politically correct pussies. There comes a point where somebody no longer has any rights, so that is when you dig a hole with a backhoe and put a bullet in their brain. I am all for Pentohal and military style torture to get the truth out of certain offenders and those charged with murder........now THAT would get some very positive results and stop drawn out court proceedings.

  10. What's good for the goose is good for the gander. Regardless of crime or punishment, EVERYONE is innocent until proven guilty. All you've done is read this on a new site - what if they are wrong? What if the police are wrong? That's why we have courts and due process.

  13. You are using only 2 fingers on the clutch & on the brake aren't you? Remember to slide your fingers over the brake lever while blipping the throttle. Practice, practice, practice. Why would you need to be braking & downshifting at the same on the street?
