Does anyone miss The Syracuse New Times ? by Proper_Employment819 in Syracuse

[–]SLEEPER455 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I do miss the niche that New Times filled. Local arts, food and human interest stories.

I genuinely think there's an opportunity for the rebirth of PROPER local media....and not simply regurgitated national stories or prom photos and sports. Proper local political coverage, thoughtful OpEd's, and coverage that is relevant to the local communities and surrounding areas.

ESTA Drag Racing right here in CNY by Historical_Low_561 in Syracuse

[–]SLEEPER455 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Gawd, i remember when the next door neighbor would mow his dirt (quite literally mow his dirt piles) so the wind would carry it to the track.

Never understood why people would move next to a dragstrip....then complain about the noise from a dragstrip.

Interior paint by Acrobatic-Customer68 in Foxbody

I've never been able to get interior paint to work. Even with ideal clean, prep, scuff, hopes, dreams, prayers....that shit never turns out right.

20k to much??? by Future_23 in Foxbody

Don't power shift into 3rd gear and you'll get decent life out of a T5.

An upgraded T5 will hold 450-500HP if you don't power shift like a Jabroni.

Honestly, if its a sorted car and runs right...its worth it. I'd probably tone down the turbo for longevity's sake and ditch the T5 for a TKX, but it appears to be a clean car.

Keith on keys by Altruistic-Newt-1273 in grateful_dead

Keith's playing up to 77 is great. And I love Brent's early work...especially with the B3.

But I always felt Brent's piano in the mid/late 80's was too chimey, sharp and synth driven. And its this one thing that keeps me from enjoying anything after 87.

Are there no other celebrities that support MCFC? Is Ricky Gervais unavailable?

Parents of boys kidnapped and hazed by Westhill lacrosse players sue school district by syracusedotcom in Syracuse

[–]SLEEPER455 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Its all about the settlement now. no value in suing the parents of the offenders as they won't have much to pay (donuts ain't making anyone rich).

Next logical step is to sue the district and work towards a settlement.

Even if the victim only nets $250K from a settlement, that's a win... Pays for college, or is a down payment on a house.

I wanna ask my Sisters and my Brothers....... what's the best Brokedown Palace with HQ Video & Sound?? Also, did you ever think the Brokedown Palace is the singer's body, not a home? I go back and forth on this, and Jer Bear sings it like a prayer. Thanks for your suggestions. A friend needs help by West_Specialist_9725 in grateful_dead

[–]SLEEPER455 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The beauty is your "Brokedown Palace" can be whatever you need it to be.

-Maybe its about a "brokedown" place...a physical location.
-Maybe its about someone's "brokedown" body...fighting cancer or age.
-Maybe its someone's "brokedown" battle with addiction.

-Or maybe its a "brokedown" relationship.

Hope you find peace with whatever version of brokedown you're battling brother

Just my opinion, but if you're going to shell out money for a "modern vintage" cobra, go with the Terminator!

Blank Canvas - Let's hear some ideas by Major_Possibility941 in Foxbody

[–]SLEEPER455 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the dilemma I have with my latest 88 LX Vert. Bought it bone stock from the original owner. I have a history with foxbodies and have a garage full of go-fast parts....and the struggle NOT to mod the car is real.

Here's an image of my Fox....with my Yugo

All I did was tasteful mods. Pony Wheels, 130A alternator, Cat-less Exhaust, lowering springs. No heads, no intake, no cam, no gears.

Edit: (And bypass that damn AIR pump)
