Where we're going, we won't need fries to see



We were having a clearout at work so I scored this headlight from a Jaaaaaaaaag XF that I intend on building a torch out of.



Thing is I was warned that the little silver box which appears to be a converter (12V battery to 35W@42VAC) seen to the side was dangerous and indeed the label states "Do not open" and "Death or serious injury can occur"
How dangerous is it providing I insulate it and don't open it/short it out?

You don't have to get a shelter dog, but please do not buy a $400 dog from a "breeder". You are guaranteed to get a horrible inbred dog that probably has more behavioral issues than any rescue and will have health problems. Especially if it has mini anywhere in the name. If you are set on buying a dog, do your research and find a reputable breeder. Its gonna cost a more money, but it will be well worth it in the long run.

yeah exactly, I'm only looking at breeders recommended by the AKC and none of the Web 2.0 breeder sites since I don't want a neurotic inbred dog haha. my mother in laws dog may be that, but since it's a cavachon (bishon frise or however it's spelled and King Charles ) it more than likely isn't and is possible a puppy mill dog :(

They've had that for at least a few years now. :v: You can also do a 30 day permit, but the car can never have been ticketed for expired tags. I've never used the 30 day permit before though, only the 5 day.

Well, poo poo. I should have done the 30-day, then I could be driving the damned thing while waiting on the paperwork.
<looks at link>
Ah, 30-day costs $25. 5-day is free, and is good if the seller keeps the plates (which they can do in TX.)

T-Square posted:

Wait, so am I the only one who just drives whatever I happen to buy home without doing anything? I feel like if we had to get some permit or some poo poo, the second I purchased one the dickhead from craigslist that I had planned to buy the car from would flake out or something.

Never have registered anything until after it's gotten home.

First time I've done it. I only did it on this one because both the reg and inspection where out of date.

Once you figure out what breed you're looking for if you need info on breeders let me know. Mom breeds dogs and is on the road showing them most weekends, she knows the top breeders for every drat breed as well as the ones to avoid.

Awesome! My brother and sister in law are looking for German Shepherds, so if she knows any good breeders I'd love for them to not get an inbred dog like many GSD's tend to be :)

and if she knows any toy poodle breeders I'd love their information as well :3:

Lady down the street from me has some kind of Rotti/Husky cross (A Ruskie? :ussr:). It's a great dog, really friendly, but I'm glad I'm a big guy, because he loves to come charging up to you and give you a hug, and he's got some power there. I kind of want to see him do it to my neighbour's kids and scatter them across the street like skittles.

Even a lot of "purebred" breeders are terrible. AKC unfortunately doesn't mean much, terrible breeders can register with them. As much as there's a hate on in AI for Pet Island, go in there, post sensibly, be open to criticism, and there's a ton of good advice. A lot of people there know a ton about various breeds, and can often find/help identify decent breeders, or at least point out red flags. The rescue route is a phenomenal one, my dog is a rescue and I don't think I could get lucky enough to "buy" one of her attitude and awesomeness from a breeder.

For this, definitely post in PI. There are a handful of people who love GSD's, and will definitely help you find a good breeder that doesn't have terrible dogs. A shep is a breed to make sure you know what you are getting, or better yet, go the rescue route - there are a LOT of people who get shepherd's without knowing what they are getting into.

And I will check out adopting, I'm open to the idea but i dont mind shedding dogs and it would be nice to not have to deal with a crying puppy for two months.

I want another Rhodesian Ridgeback. I'll take any suggestions, doesn't need to be show quality (read: show quality price) but well bred is good.
Because counter surfing is fun. Had one growing up, I swear that dog ate more meatloafs and casseroles than we did.

Here it is in Parker, CO:

(yeah, it's something like a foot to 15" shorter than an ACVW.)


Closer in size to my lawn tractor than one of my other 4x4s.

I had plans to put the spare engine in after cleaning it up and moving all the external parts to it, but was hoping it wouldn't be so soon.

april fools suckaaaaaaa (it does have a hell of a rattle coming from the timing chain however, so the engine needs to be worked on regardless.)
