It's amazing to me that my 2010 tune is still going strong. Thanks, Mike.

Twain was so right. Get rid of the electoral college, get rid of political conventions, ban all private campaign financing, and we might end up with a democracy.

If the OP was being sarcastic as you suggest, he did a great job of sucking me in.

Well, both can be dangerous - a casual drinker may fall asleep at the wheel. The daughter of a friend was killed in an accident when her not so sober friend was driving and fell asleep at the wheel. Broken neck.

 

Sure, that can happen. All I'm saying is that we should be careful not to throw the baby out with the bathwater - don't go too far restricting liberties without weighing the real benefit. In this case, I'm advocating the targeting of habitual offenders since getting them off the road will realize the greatest gains toward making the roads safer. Look at open container laws, for example. I should be able to drive down main street in a convertible waving a Martini over my head as long as I'm not legally impaired. Open container laws were invented to allow cops to harass kids (I'm 70, BTW) - these laws do nothing to improve safety. Then there are the anti-switchblade knife laws - completely useless and on the books because some dumb old lady freaked out when she saw "West Side Story."

"Stop Drunk Driving!

 

This is my common sense, and reasonable, solution to reducing deaths from drunk driving. Deaths from drunk driving kill and destroy thousands of families each year, and are completely preventable. No longer can we stand by and allow our children to be put in harm’s way by a drunk driver.

 

Therefore, my proposed solution is reasonable, easy to implement, and keeps our children safe.

 

To begin with, we need to ban vodka. This drink is dangerously potent, at 80 proof, and is highly popular in bars and clubs because of its ability to be added to nearly any drink. Colorless, vodka can also be used to trick people, as alcoholics use vodka instead of water. You can see this at any number of public and kid-friendly sporting events. This is dangerous, as these drinkers will then drive home, endangering other drivers.

 

By removing this highly-potent alcohol from the shelves of bars and restaurants, we’ll make the roads safer for our children.

 

In addition to banning vodka, I propose that we eliminate large glasses from bars and other establishments that serve alcoholic beverages. Large volume glasses only allow drinkers to get drunk quickly. There is no need for 16oz, 22oz, or even 32oz glasses. If I can enjoy my wine in a 4oz pour, then 4oz is good enough for anyone.

 

The only people who should have access to these sizes of glasses should be food critics, as they require the beverages to last the entire course of the meal they are reviewing. Festivals, sporting events, bars, and private brewhouses have no need for such large glasses that only serve to make people drunk.

 

Clearly these two proposals can be accepted by any reasonable person with common sense. Please remember that drunk driving kills our children every year. It’s completely preventable, and easily done if these solutions are enacted."

Ban Vodka? Maybe you should join Mothers Against Rational Thinking.

 

Statistics show that the vast majority of fatal alcohol related accidents are not caused by casual social drinkers who happen to grab the wrong glass or drink Vodka instead of Jagermeister. They are caused by habitual criminal offenders who should have been taken off the road after their last DWI conviction. Back in the 1970s or 80s, Car and Driver did a well documented series on this.

I'm sure the answer is buried somewhere in this thread, but - will this TMIC fit in the stock location on a 2005 LGT?

I do remember a thread about some company that was prototyping caliper brackets that looked pretty good. Can't find the thread, but I'm guessing they never made it into production. Good that the backing plates are off, and that you have actual data showing results.
