For sure sounds somewhat Valley Girl as in: For sure man barf me out and gag me with a spoon.

This was interesting. This letter sent to Tennessee Senator Bill Frist from a retired border patrol agent, and it has more common sense than all the bull being spewed from the Senate, with the exception of a few sensible representatives. Dear Senator Frist: There is a huge amount of propaganda and myths circulating about illegal aliens, particularly illegal Mexican, Salvadorian, Guatemalan and Honduran aliens. #1. Illegal aliens generally do NOT want U.S. citizenship. Americans are very vain thinking that everybody in the world wants to be a U.S. citizen. Mexicans, and other nationalities want to remain citizens of their home countries while obtaining the benefits offered by the United States such as employment, medical care, in-state tuition, government subsidized housing and free education for their offspring. Their main attraction is employment and their loyalty usually remains at home. They want benefits earned and subsidized by middle class Americans. What illegal aliens want are benefits of American residence without paying the price. #2. There are no jobs that Americans won't do. Illegal aliens are doing jobs that Americans can't take and still support their families. Illegal aliens take low wage jobs, live dozens in a single residence home, share expenses and send money to their home country. There are no jobs that Americans won't do for a decent wage. #3. Every person who illegally entered this nation left a home. They are NOT homeless and they are NOT Americans. Some left jobs in their home countries. They come to send money to their real home as evidenced by the more than 20 billion dollars sent out of the country each year by illegal aliens. These illegal aliens knowingly and willfully entered this nation in violation of the law and therefore assumed the risk of detection and deportation. Those who brought their alien children assumed the responsibility and risk on behalf of their children. #4. Illegal aliens are NOT critical to the economy. Illegal aliens constitute less than 5% of the workforce. However, they reduce wages and benefits for lawful U.S. residents. #5. This is NOT an immigrant nation. There are 280 million native born Americans. While it is true that this nation was settled and founded by immigrants (legal immigrants), it is also true that there is not a nation on this planet that was not settled by immigrants at one time or another. #6. The United States is welcoming to legal immigrants. Illegal aliens are not immigrants by definition. The U.S. accepts more lawful immigrants every year than the rest of the world combined. #7. There is no such thing as the "Hispanic vote". Hispanics are white, brown, black and every shade in between. Hispanics are Republicans, Democrats, Anarchists, Communists, Mar xists and Independents. The so-called "Hispanic vote" is a myth. Pandering to illegal aliens to get the Hispanic vote is a dead end. #8. Mexico is NOT a friend of the United States. Since 1848 Mexicans have resented the United States. During World War I Mexico allowed German Spies to operate freely in Mexico to spy on the U.S. During World War II Mexico allowed the Axis powers to spy on the U.S. from Mexico. During the Cold War, Mexico allowed spies hostile to the U.S. to operate freely. The attack on the Twin Towers in 2001 was cheered and applauded all across Mexico. Today Mexican school children are taught that the U.S. stole California, Arizona, new Mexico and Texas. If you don't believe it, check out some Mexican textbooks written for their schoolchildren. #9. Although some illegal aliens enter this country for a better life, there are 6 billion people on this planet. At least 1 billion of those live on less than one dollar a day. If wanting a better life is a valid excuse to break the law and sneak into America, then let's allow those one billion to come to America and we'll turn the USA into a Third World nation overnight. Besides, there are 280 million native born Americans who want a better life. I'll bet Bill Gates and Donald Trump want a better life. When will the USA lifeboat be full? Since when is wanting a better life a good reason to trash another nation? #10. There is a labor shortage in this country. This is a lie. There are hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of American housewives, senior citizens, students, unemployed and underemployed who would gladly take jobs at a decent wage. #11. It is racist to want secure borders. What is racist about wanting secure borders and a secure America? What is racist about not wanting people to sneak into America and steal benefits we have set aside for legal aliens, senior citizens, children and other legal residents? What is it about race that entitles people to violate our laws, steal identities, and take the American Dream without paying the price? For about four decades American politicians have refused to secure our borders and look after the welfare of middle class Americans. These politicians have been of both parties. A huge debt to American society has resulted. This debt will be satisfied and the interest will be high. There has already been riots in the streets by illegal aliens and their supporters. There will be more. You, as a politician, have a choice to offend the illegal aliens who have stolen into this country and demanded the rights afforded to U.S. citizens or to offend those of us who are stakeholders in this country. The interest will be steep either way. There will be civil unrest. There will be a reckoning. Do you have the courage to do what is right for America? Or, will you bow to the wants and needs of those who don't even have the right to remain here? There will be a reckoning. It will come in November of this year, again in 2008 and yet again in 2010. We will not allow America to be stolen by third world agitators and thieves. David J. Stoddard U.S. Border Patrol (RET) Hereford, Arizona

Where did you find that? I thought foreigners could not buy property in Mexico.

Always remember if something sounds to good to be true it probably is.

SWEET!

This season was over for me Easter but it will start again in the beginning of October.

I personally appreciate good service and I don't mind paying a little extra for it.

Great minds think alike.

The fact that you get poor customer service anywhere is ridiculous and uncalled for. I really believe that it happens because noone will do anything about it. I'm one of those jerks that when I get poor service I complain to the management. Most of the times I'll give a place 2 chances to screw up and then I'll never go back. I know that means nothing to most buisnesses but if enough people did that these places would realize that they aren't doing us a favor by being in buisness. They are in buisness because they have customers. On the other hand I'll give praise where praise is do. The company that built my car made some mistakes in their choice of parts. I got ahold of the people at Jamar to resolve some problems. These people in my opinion bent over backwards to take care of the problem I had. The owner, Rod, was very concerned about his products and why they failed. He hooked me up with some new upgraded parts at a fair price and for that I'm grateful. You can't beat a lifetime warranty.

WOW! It looks like you guys had a great day.Those are some great pictures.

WTF? You obviously don't understand what is going on with the CBD. I or nobody else is saying don't conserve and preserve your area but for you to call yourself and enviromentalist is crazy. Ken you know me so don't take this as being mean spirited or anything like that. We are talking about the people that want to take away your rights. There has to be a balance and that is not in dispute. What is in dispute, and I'll use Dumont as an example,the motivation for their actions. The motivation behind these so called enviromentalists is not conservation but it is renumeration. The Mojave preserve in Death Valley has thousands of acres that nobody even wants to fly over in an airplane but these ecoterrorists want to close the few places that are still open to ORV. They will do studies saying that in these dunes is the only place that some endangered plant or animal lives. What they won't do is study all the other thousands of acres where these plants or animals live. Another thing they do is say stuff like "This species of the fringe toed lizard is only found at the Dumont dunes. It is different from all the other fringed toed lizards so it should be designated as the Dumont fringed toed lizard. Now since there are only 5000 of these species of lizards that live only at the Dumont dunes, the dunes should be considered an endangered species habitat." And then guess what happens, study after study by both sides of the argument. Legal suits are filed on both sides and the attorneys make their money. It's all BULL SHIAT. The Dumont Dunes were not even on the CBDs radar until a fee program was started. Now guess what? They know people are willing to pay to play. You need to read the whole story about what they did at Glamis. Alot of the area around the dunes at Dumont that is off limits used to be open area but has been closed to appease the ENVIROMENTALISTS. You have a sport that is the fastest growing family recreation in the USA and the areas to ride are getting smaller. Yes we need to conserve and preserve the areas we ride in but it is your right to be able to ride. And for the people that say "Well they won't/can't close Glamis" Guess what THEY ARE just a little bit at a time.Then it will be Dumont and then Armagosa and any other place people want to use ORV. I imagine things like boats and snowmobiles and any other types of motorized sports will eventually be challenged. Al Gore made statements to the fact that if he had been elected president he would eliminate all internal combustion engines. This is ridiculous but that is how your enviromentalists think. My whole point is if you say you are an enviromentalist I guess you'll be getting rid of your ORVs because you can't have it both ways.

Do you need someone to massage your tailbone?

I myself prefer a bigger car so I would choose the Sandwinder especially if they're the same price. The Northstar can probably run pump gas but the Subaru will definitely need race fuel. Plus a blower is bada$$ on a Northstar. That Subaru is pretty quick but I don't imagine it would wheelie real easy. That you would have to talk to the owner about. Ask for some action pictures.
-
Those guys look like Rocky the flying squirrel.
-
The Northstar is not a bad choice in fact it's a very good choice. Also a 300+ hp turbo Subaru is a good choice. And you can't go wrong with a Sandcars.net car.
-
I would go with the Sandwinder. It seems that the Alumicraft car has been driven REAL hard. You do understand that a Northstar is not a Chevy motor. It's a Cadillac motor. For that kind of money I think I would be more inclined to buy Joeduners car.
-
If that's the only choices that I had,I hate to say it but I would get the Honda.
-
More like sliding and the front wheel grabbed.
-
Sandwinders are real nice cars. They are very comfortable and are very wide. The first one I looked at was at the Extreme Motorsports show. And then later I stopped in at his shop in Phoenix. These cars are big at 56" wide in the drivers compartment. As far as Alumicraft goes I would say they are a top ten builder if not top five. They are usually top quality cars.
-
Yeah what Pete said!
-
I would also agree with that.
-
Cool video but would I do that? Let me think. UUUUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH NO.
-
As Wingnut would say NICE!
