Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
That's what I thought.
I'm not building a new frame. I'd be putting everything back exactly where it is now. There's very little that's even gonna be a pain as far as clearance issues etc, and the couple parts that are, to me would still keep within the 'balance of the frame must remain whole' rule.
The only reason I wanna straighten those rails is to simplify making the boatsides. Even at its widest it's still narrower than a YJ frame so I'm not worried about that...it's more just trying to attach a piece of UHMW to a surface that's not planar.
I'm not done pursuing it yet. Pretty sure, regardless of what Rea says, there's nothing in the actual rules that prohibits what I'm trying to do.

my understanding of it was basically if it came from the factory with a windshied it always needs a windshied in place and up

KOH rule enforcement is a joke anyway. Everyone bends the class rules every year and they make up worse loosely worded rules for the next year. You'll def be fine, it's not some RA or FIA sanctioned event that have techs unbolting parts of your racer to check compliance.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
Like I said. I should have just XXXXin done it and not said a word.
That whole forgiveness vs. permission thing.
Just look at how many people actually have foam or baffling in fuel cells. I like how Wayne put it:
"I told the tech guy, 'yes sir, I am completely baffled'. I didn't tell him I was just confused."

Is that a springfield XD? I've heard of so many negligent discharges with those...
It's kinda funny that Keith is the one making the joke about that because I think I'm more strict with my firearms than he is his.

$200, I'm a cheap bastard and would rather make do with a mid 80s kingpin hp60 I got for $150 and it takes a lot to convince me to spend money on axles.
Probably worth $7-900 on cl if you find the right person though.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
Since no one's talking about anything and we haven't done one of these lately, how about another moral dilemma.
Some guy recently got busted for running a kidney transplant operation. He was paying $25,000 to anyone who wanted to sell a healthy kidney, and was charging a shit-ton more than that to anyone who wanted to have a damaged kidney replaced. The facility where he was doing this was clean, modern, and well equipped; the guy himself had surgical training and all of his patients - donors and recipients - had no medical issues at all from the procedures.
What they actually nailed him for was profiteering - making a profit by unethical means.
One argument is that a private-practice organ transplant setup takes viable donors away from the organ-donor waiting list and restricts access only to those who can afford to bypass insurance/hospitals/etc.
The other argument is whether human organs are something you should be able to buy/sell like any other goods, as there's not really a legitimate market history for that.
Honestly I think if you wanted to sell your kidney for $25k, more power to you. And if you're willing/able to pay $150k out of pocket to get a new one put in, good for you too. As long as I never end up footing your future medical bills if something goes wrong.
And if you're the guy that has the training and facility to make that happen, even better.
Thoughts?

I can't tell if its an M&P9 or the XD. Looks more XD to me too. I like the XD's personally but I think the negligent discharge is from idiots buying a cheap gun that looks like a Glock.
Lol I knew you'd find humor in it, that's why I said it was you. And definitely are the most strict gun safety person I've ever been shooting with. I'll admit I'm not the strictest, but I'll never point a loaded or uncleared firearm in the direction of anyone/myself.

I'm 100% with you. It's privatization like anything else. But I think we should have universal health care (not Obama care, the way the Netherlands do it) and then this stuff would be avoided. It does pull people out of a "donor list" which on one side sucks for people waiting, but on the other we have, for the most part, a private health care system. The way our health care is set up now, I don't really see why this guy could be arrested for profiteering.. it could definitely be argued nothing unethical was going on.

Nah, I have a LC9 on my hip right now. It's definitely some sort of American composite compact with a double stack mag.

He's already been tried and convicted...however the judge reduced his sentence from 20 years to 30 months. So I guess it wasn't *that* unethical.
Just an interesting story on the radio this morning.
