    Login problem

    I keep having a problem when I try to log into the site. When I enter my SN and password into the upper right hand corner where you'd typically enter that information, I will, and I get the "Thank you for logging in XCELR8" prompt, but when it re-directs, it sends me back to the forums index...

    (56K) Christmas in February?

    Well... sort of. Because I was deployed for the Christmas holiday, my family and I didn't get to exchange gifts until I returned two weeks ago. My parents decided to give me money towards a watch I've wanted for about 10 years--the Omega Seamaster Professional Chronometer. We had to drive to...

    (56K) The coldest place on Earth*

    *well, not exactly, but it damn sure felt like it at 2ºF and ice for as far as you could see. Two Sundays ago I went to Michigan for a visit with my family. The day I was driving home was the day Virginia (and pretty much the entire east side of the country) was experiencing those 40MPH winds...

    (56K) The arsenal--2008 edition

    So, I'm in the market for a new 1911...

    ...and I can't decide which one I want. The Kimber is gorgeous and has a great reputation and the S&W has a worked trigger from the factory and great looks. That said, I ask the opinion of SVTP. Kimber Grand Raptor II: Approximately $1,400 Or Smith & Wesson Doug Koenig Edition...

    Help me beat this damn game!

    I'm embarrassed to say this, but this dumb ass flash game has sucked me in and frustrated me more than ever because I can't beat it! I go bankrupt within a couple of "simulated" years! What's the trick? Here is the link: http://www.vinylarmy.com/home/help/mcdonalds.swf

    Proxy bypass?

    Does anyone know a way to get around internet filters at work? I've googled various proxy bypasses and that's yielded zero results. They're all blocked too!

    (56K) The latest edition to my arsenal

    Well, I finally got some balls and picked this up today at the gun show in Norfolk. I got a pretty good deal on it. I've always wanted a Colt and a 1911, so I thought this would combine my two desires. It's chambered in .45ACP. I have yet to shoot it, but by just dry firing it, I can tell...

    (56K!) A hot air balloon, an Air Zoo, a frog and a big ass truck

    I thought I’d share some pictures of one of my family’s hobbies. I’ve been participating in the sport my entire life and acquired my Private Pilot’s license just prior to joining the military. Anyways, here are the pictures… along with a couple random ones. Yup… it all fits: It’s a...

    (56K) Washington D.C.

    My mom and dad came down from Michigan for a visit so we decided to check out the Mariners Museum on Saturday and Washington D.C. on Sunday. I've been through D.C. numerous times, but I had never stopped and seen the sights until now. I can say that I'm completely humbled by what I saw. We...

    (56K) A Cobra and a Mach1

    I met up with a friend today to take some pictures of his car. It's one of the cleanest '96 Cobras I've seen. Oh, and I jumped in on the pictures too.:)

    (56K) My weapons

    I just recently picked up my Smith & Wesson M&P AR15 carbine and took some pictures to show it off. While I had that out, I figured I'd take a couple pictures of all of them. Smith & Wesson M&P AR15 carbine .223: Henry Golden Boy .22LR: Walther P99AS .40S&W: Walther PPK/S .380:

    (56K!) Pictures from my "vacation" to U.A.E.

    For the last month and a half, I was fortunate enough to go on a government paid “vacation” to U.A.E. All of the pictures are not of sensitive areas/things etc, so no worries. Anyways, here are the pictures. Enjoy: This is the lobby to the hotel of the Armed Forces Officers Club On...

    (56K) I guess I have a thing for Walthers...

    I thought I'd take some pictures of my weapons to show everyone. Apparently, I'm a Walther fan, but I can honestly say it's coincidence. I just liked both these guns and they happened to be Walther products. I wanted the PPK/S ever since I saw my first 007 movie. It's a great weapon to carry...

    (56K) Azure Blue Mach1 photoshoot

    I spent some of the money I made over in Kyrgystan on changing my Mach1 from its terribly stock condition. I managed to slip out between thunderstorms today to get a few pictures. My new modifications are: black FRPP FR500s (18"x9") with Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 rubber (275/35-18) MRT...

    (56K!) Pictures from my deployment to Kyrgyzstan

    I was gone for the last 5 months on a deployment to Manas AB, Kyrgyzstan. It was a very humbling experience. When we arrived in country, it was -15ºF, when we left it was 110ºF. We were pretty safe from the enemy here, but our main concern for security was organized crime and terrorism...

    best wheel?

    I'm in the market for wheels, but I can't decide what I want. At first, I thought I wanted the authentic FR500s, but the increased price and limited size (18"X9" only) kind of steered me away. Now I'm looking at the replica FR500s that are much cheaper and also come in different sizes. My...

    Zaino

    Alright, I've heard so many postive things about Zaino, I figured I'd give it a shot and see what all the buzz is about. I've been a long believer in Meguiars products, but if there is better on the market, then I'm all ears. I went to www.zainostore.com and looked at the products they have to...

    Synthetic oil from the factory...

    I was discussing with someone earlier today about the proper procedures of breaking in a new engine. I was under the impression that a natural oil was required until ~3,000 miles to assist in getting the rings to seat correctly. The reason being was because sythetic was to slippery to achieve...

    teachers v. educators (funny)

    According to a news report, a certain private school in Washington recently was faced with a unique problem. A number of 12-year-old girls were beginning to use lipstick and would put it on in the bathroom. That was fine, but after they put on their lipstick, they would press their lips to...

    H&R spring questions

    Okay, like I mentioned in my earlier thread, I'm getting ready to lower my Mach1. I plan on going with H&R SS springs but I have a few questions. According to maximummotorsports.com, the H&R SS springs are a 1.75" drop. Is that a 1.75" drop on a GT or a Mach1? The reason I ask is because a...
