    Yeah, I've seen that robot! I have plenty of drywall hangers that don't have a brain, they are called Mexicans! I can have 50 of them in about 15 minutes with a single phone call. What I need are foremen. I need guys that can read Architectural plans and know how to use the smart end of a tape measure. Ones who I can trust with a $2000 Hilti rotary laser and a $900 powder driven fastener gun.

    You guys wait, foreign workers are going to take over the trades shortly. I already have two jobs where I am working with Mexican superintendents and it won't be long before they are in upper management.

    Early PS3 could play PS1 and PS2 games. It actually contained PS2 hardware. Later releases of the "fat" version simulated PS2 hardware. I think when it went to the first "slim" version, Sony dropped PS2 support.

    PS4 isn't backwards compatible with anything. Doesn't even play music discs.

    I still play many older games through emulators. FFVII on my phone.

    So next week I have a frame inspection at Lia Toyota in Northampton. I have some rust on the frame that im not too happy about it. The question is. Should I take off my sliders or anything for the inspection? I dont want them to deny a new frame for something stupid if i really do need one. Can anyone weigh in on this?

    Seens how they have already admitted to the problem with the frames I believe you are fine. Shouldn't have a problem with anything attached to the frame. But u should get more insight seens how I'm going off of what others have been saying.

    I made my decision on tires.

    Cooper AT3 4S, 265/70R18

    They're as narrow as I can go while keeping the same weight rating I have on an SL tire, and they're about a half inch taller. Weight is 5 lbs heavier than the stock Michelins. I'm hoping they'll work out well.

    You'll probably see some MPG drop, between the added weight and the more aggressive pattern.

    I figure I will too, hopefully it is minimal in comparison to some of the heavier more aggressive tires I was looking at.
