shifting poles

Post by solanoid »

I am sure many of you have heard that the earths polarity is shifting (as it does only once every 26,000 years)

Let me ask, how many of you are seeing your vans compass switching from north to south constantly? When I first got the van it was normal, now it cant sit still.

is it just me?

So... What about "Comet Elenin", the brown dwarf?

There is this amateur Russian astronomer by the name of Professor Leonid Elenin who has discovered, on the 10th of December, 2010, a rather large comet coming toward Earth. Apparently he has made certain observations as he has been monitoring it: Every time the Earth, the Sun and the Comet line up we experience an earthquake (Japan, New Zealand ~ to name but two). Not much talk about this. There is talk, however that Elenin might be more than just a comet, that perhaps Elenin is a brown dwarf and somewhat larger than has been admitted.

NASA's press release on the subject: "Comet Elenin - Preview of a Coming Attraction"

Inside Information Daily: Is (Comet?) Elenin Causing The Devastating Earthquakes?

This just in.....





Looks great, nice simple design. If I wasn't so conscious of vehicle length I would be on my knees trying to get one. :-D

I tend to parallel park with about an inch between bumpers back and front so the more compact the better. That's not to discredit the size of the vehicle with a mod such as this though just a personal preference considering what I use the vehicle for. :-)

9 inches of extra length is nothing considering you gain 30 inches of cargo space in the rear.

Not much but I think I would be contradicting myself if I was to add length to my vehicle as my main argument for getting an L300 over an L400 was the difference in Length vs the interior space. (well and the looks...no offence)

I've got the cargo space covered up top at any rate :wink:

Wow I had forgotten how tedious the threads on this forum are. Its already struggling to stay on topic in page 1.

I really enjoyed working with Jesse on his truck and my van these past couple of weeks, although I'd rather show our works when they are complete and painted and ready for public consumption.

Also, to those who have nothing constructive or non-rhetorical (*cough* nxski *cough*) to offer, I suggest that you avoid the compulsion to click reply and instead spend more time reading posts from experienced guys like David and Jesse who know how to edit out their brain farts before clicking submit.

Thanks for the 'on topic' reply

A simple statement pointing out that it does add a little bit of length to the vehicle is completely on-topic. Also, responding to a post about a hitch mounted carrier should be considered constructive. I shouldn't have to defend myself when others accuse me of not knowing what I'm talking about. I may be younger than you and not as experienced in certain aspects but that doesn't mean that what I have to say lacks credibility. You have already stated in a previous conversation that I think I know everything because I'm young, which I certainly do not, but I would also like to point out that despite having an age advantage you also do NOT know everything.

With that out of the way, back to critiquing... :M

Actually it kinda does.

Your enthusiasm is great, when you aim it in the positive direction.


"The full name of Doc Brown from Back to the future is, Doctor Emmett Lathrop Brown. Emit Latrop backwords is Time Portal." <-- off-topic yet amusing and useful. no harm done.

"Even though it is physically impossible, I insist on parking in spots that are only 2" longer than my vehicle and I could not possibly imagine parking in a larger spot. THEREFORE your tire carrier is implicitly crap. /smiley" <-- useless drivel and sure to drag the thread away from where the OP was hoping it would go. trollish even
