    Photos When Pigs Die

    Re: When Pigs Die Question: Did you manage to recover any of the bullets. I'm especially curious about what the 556 looked like. Also, did the 10 mm exit the hog's skull? Great work and thanks for the pics.

    High MPG beater the new status symbol. Show your's

    Re: High MPG beater the new status symbol. Show your's This thread should be titled why Hondas are the best. When I drove my Fit from Denver back to North Carolina it averaged 35.4 over the 5000 mile senic route I took. I wish there was an American car as good as the Civic or Accord.
