Jezuz! So what kind of beer do you drink on Tuesdays in the summertime when you are feeling happy and there's a half moon and it's overcast outside?

exaaaactly!

I just read this on http://www.duneguide.com/ Effen California and their clean air rules...even when it comes to offroad. Like these builders aren't hurtin enough already, they get hit with these fines now. http://www.arb.ca.gov/newsrel/nr040209.htm Penalties apply to 37 manufacturers April 2, 2009 SACRAMENTO - Last month the California Air Resources Board fined a consortium of sand car sellers $600,000 for its members' illegal engine and vehicle sales between 2006 and 2008. ARB investigators found that illegal engines and vehicles were being sold in California by several sand car manufacturers. The penalties from this case apply to 37 members of the newly formed association that were selling uncertified products."Industries that cater to off-road enthusiasts must also consider their product's impact on the environment," said ARB Chairman Mary D. Nichols. "Uncontrolled emissions from these vehicles add to California's already serious smog problems."As a result of the investigation, most major sand car manufacturers and some engine suppliers located in California formed the Sand Car Association. to ensure that its members build compliant products. The association's formation has resulted in industry self-enforcement and California certification of three engines for use in sand cars.For a complete list of the 37 manufacturers included in the settlement, click here. ARB is still investigating other sand car manufacturers that are producing and selling illegal non-California certified vehicles. Sand cars are off-road vehicles popular at state and federal recreation areas like Pismo Beach and Glamis Dunes. The Department of Motor Vehicles can revoke registrations of illegal vehicles; therefore, it is important that dealers and purchasers ensure that the vehicles are legal in California. Clean vehicle engines cut smog-forming emissions and improve fuel economy, reducing harmful greenhouse gases. Smog can cause respiratory problems, including asthma, and effects the lung function growth of children.The Air Resources Board is a department of the California Environmental Protection Agency. ARB's mission is to promote and protect public health, welfare, and ecological resources through effective reduction of air pollutants while recognizing and considering effects on the economy. The ARB oversees all air pollution control efforts in California to attain and maintain health based air quality standards. www.DuneGuide.com Sand Car Association Case Settlement for $600,000 Alumi Craft Inc., Santee, CA Buck Shot, La Habra, CA Carr One, Murrieta, CA CBM Motorsports, Ontario, CA Danzio, Lake Elsinore, CA DeJong Manufacturing, Murrieta, CA Demon Fabrication/Sinister Sand Cars, San Marcos, CA Desert Dynamics, Hesperia, CA Desert Off Road, Montclair, CA Desert Rat Buggies, Apple Valley, CA’ Elite Offroad Performance, Artesia, CA Extreme Fabrication, Riverside, CA Extreme Performance, San Bernardino, CA Eyeball Fabrication, Riverside, CA Funco, Rialto, CA Gary’s Automotive, Fontana, CA High Fly, Fresno, CA King Sand Cars, Apple Valley, CA Mosebillt Off-Road, Corona, CA Outfront Motor, Buena Park, CA Playtech Racing, Anaheim, CA Quicksand Performance, East Rancho Dominguez, CA Raw Motorsports, Temecula, CA Redline Performance, Anaheim, CA Revolution Sand Cars, Alta Loma, CA Sand Buggy Supply, Cerritos, CA Sand Cars Unlimited, Anaheim, CA Sand Limo by Joe Fab, Inc., Apache Junction, AZ Sand Storm Fabrication, Chino, CA Sand Rail Fabricators, Bell Gardens, CA Sand Trix, Gilbert, AZ Suspensions Unlimited, Corona, CA Trick Racing Sports, Yucca Valley, CA TomPro Design, Paso Robles, CA Toys 4 Big Boys, Corona, CA Turn Key Engines, Oceanside, CA Wicked Sand Cars, Riverside, CA

Now that you say that I prefer Corona light as well. I just recently had one and was suprised how much better it was than the regular.

ok no more submissions. Vote now.

LET'S TALK BEER. Ya can't ever have too many beer topics. I'm a Bud Light guy when I plan on drinking cheap and a whole lot of em, but I always love a Blue Moon w/ an orange. I also dig "Heffie" beers and Hornsby's draft cider as well as a couple other ciders I've had. I think PT's has a pear cider that's pretty good. Fosters is some pretty good potent beer , Coors Light is all good (almost the same as BL I guess and I'll drink it), I'm cool with Corona as long as you don't drink one with any other beer , Miller Lite is piss, PBR is ok beer (did I just admit that? ) , Heineken is nasty chit as well as Rolling Rock, Steel Reserve :B , Natty Light ya might as well buy Dasani. That's all I can think of right now. Let the beer chit talk and opinions begin. So....what's your favorite beer?

man that blows! I guess the dunes will be empty then!

4 pages of total entertaining bullchit though! Sounds like an "A" to me! :laughing:

I'm all about getting things off my chest, but people b*tch about stuff enough as it is on this site. Just start a thread about whatever it is. However, we're not going to make a designated section to encourage people to b*tch about stuff. I'd rather keep a more positive tone on the site and NOT have one.

I'm goin to hell.

Saturday Don the camp host came over to borrow the backboard and I think some EMT's that were at the race. The rumor was someone in the dunes broke their back. Anyone hear of that? I hope they were ok.

Get well soon Steve! I hope you heal up quickly. wtf you gonna bump this thread every year or what?

Very sad and tragic. It just bothers me every time I hear this stuff about people RIDING ALONE. NEVER ride by yourself. His life might have been able to be saved had he had someone else there to help earlier.

Oh so that must have also been your bro driving when I saw your car approach at the north pole when we were out there. I felt pretty dumb waving all obvious and chit just to be waved back at by everyone in the car and then the car turned around and left. "That must not have been Eric driving." I tried texting you because there was no way I was gonna hear you at Banshee hill on my phone but couldn't get a hold of you. Oh well, maybe next time, Eric. Oh come on. It wasn't that fast! Originally it was gonna be a 3rd gear ride, but then it turned into a 5th gear ride slowing down to a 3rd gear ride towards to end beacuse everyone disappeared. lol We did cover a ton of dunes in a very short period of time! I got back to Banshee Hill and realized it hadn't been much time at all that passed but we covered like 90% of the dunes behind Banshee Hill. Those dunes were killer! Dayum Ty! Be careful out there. Sucks to hear about your weekend. Hope you guys feel better soon.

:beer_bang: "pow pow pow....look at that!" 1-800-HO-FO-SHO

Looks like it's officially over a hundred out there as of today's highs. It seems like it might take another slight dip for those going out this weekend, but it's still gonna be warm. Time for the lake/ river and to head north for cooler duning. Oh and can't forget those epic early AM runs to D of course. :beer_bang: I can't wait for those.

couple more... oops

ShamWOAH b*tch let go of my tongue! :beer_bang: MARCH 27--Meet Vince Shlomi. He's probably better known to you as the ShamWow Guy, the ubiquitous television pitchman who has been phenomenally successful peddling absorbent towels and food choppers. Shlomi, 44, was arrested last month on a felony battery charge following a violent confrontation with a prostitute in his South Beach hotel room. According to an arrest affidavit, Shlomi met Sasha Harris, 26, at a Miami Beach nightclub on February 7 and subsequently retired with her to his $750 room at the lavish Setai hotel. Shlomi told cops he paid Harris about $1000 in cash after she "propositioned him for straight sex." Shlomi said that when he kissed Harris, she suddenly "bit his tongue and would not let go." Shlomi then punched Harris several times until she released his tongue. The affidavit, a copy of which you'll find here, notes that during the 4 AM fight Harris sustained facial fractures and lacerations all over her face (she is pictured here in mug shots snapped following busts in 2008 and 2005). After freeing his tongue, a bleeding Shlomi ran to the Setai lobby, where security summoned cops. Harris refused to cooperate with officers, who recovered $930 from her purse. "Both parties had a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage emitting from their persons," police reported. In a brief telephone interview, Harris declined to answer TSG questions about her run-in with Shlomi, though she did say she is considering a lawsuit against the pitchman. Asked if she worked as a hooker, Harris declined comment. As seen in the below mug shot, Shlomi was also injured during the fracas and, court records show, was treated at Mount Sinai Medical Center. While Shlomi and Harris were both arrested for felony aggravated battery, prosecutors this month declined to file formal charges against the combatants. Police records list Shlomi's occupation as "Marketing," but make no mention of his affiliation with the ShamWow or the Slap Chop, both of which sell for $19.95 (plus shipping and handling).
