    Just got this email


    Dear Mr. Chirdo:
    *
    Thank you for contacting me regarding your views on gun rights in the state of Texas.* Your thoughts on this important issue are greatly appreciated.
    *
    As a strong advocate for protecting our Second Amendment rights, I will support legislation that allows law abiding citizens of Texas to exercise their Constitutionally protected right to bear arms.* Additionally, I will oppose any attempts to reduce or appeal this right.
    *
    Representative Toth and Representative Laubenberg have filed bills regarding this issue.* HB 872, filed by Representative Laubenberg, aims to protect the right to bear arms through the Second Amendment, which grants Texas the authority to guarantee this right to its citizens.* In addition, this bill aims to protect our state's Ninth and Tenth Amendments rights relating to the regulation of manufacturing firearms, firearm accessories, and ammunition in Texas.* Representative Toth's bill, HB 1076, also aims to protect these constitutional rights, while additionally creating a penalty for state and local government entities that adopt a rule enforcing a federal statute designed to implement restrictions and/or regulations on firearms that do not currently exist under the laws of Texas.
    *
    Currently, each of these bills have been assigned to the House Committee on Federalism and Fiscal Responsibility.* You will be pleased to know that I am a co-author of HB 1076.* Rest assured that I will keep your thoughts firmly in mind if similar bills are assigned to the House Committee on Homeland Security and Public Safety on which I serve.
    *
    Again, thank you for sharing your thoughts with me.* Please feel free to contact me if I can ever be of service.
    *
    Best regards,
    Ron Simmons
    State Representative

    Or someone with an excursion that just needs parts? The situation seems really weird though.

    As long as that body shop isn't Blake's workshop it should be done pretty quick

    That would be awesome if it only took three days. I doubt it though because it had a spot that needed traditional body work. The rest was paintless dent repair; but it was a bunch.

    It is always fun borrowing a car and having to work on it before you can leave the drive way. Hopefully the car will be running ok until I get my truck back. It is nothing fancy - just a beat up late 90s Mustang with the V6.

    Because it's a daily driver it will stay at the end. Want to start some offroading but want to do the paint and need the suspension bad. The suspenstion is sagging everywhere 1" excpet the RR which is at 1.5. I'll try to make a meet and then go from there.
    Was looking at the ARB locker but can't seem to find what people are paying for install fees. I don't have the tools, space, time or know how to do it. I don't know that I want bigger than 265X75R16 and start playing more with my mpg's, was at 20 mpg's before the bigger tires.
    As far as the 4X4 mod I would have to meet someone who knows how, and for some reason would really want to help me out.

    I know, I realized that after I hit post.

    If you're halfway decent with a wrench you cab install the ARB yourself. What you do it swap 3rd members with the guys at East Coast Gear supply. For the locker installed in a third member and sent to your house its around $1550. Gonna need a compressor also though. I learned how to do it myself. Not really that hard. Pull out the out 3rd and swap in the new one, then send em the old one

    The VatoZone near my house pissed me off tonight. I was gonna use my rewards card to pay for some anti seize. I know that I've used the rewards card for over $800 worth of purchases on it. Went in there and they said I've only spent $110 with zero points to redeem. Come to find out points and purchases expire after 6 months and their is only a 2 week period you are allowed to redeem the points. I tossed it in the trash when he told me that
