    Kit cars

    Has anyone done a kit car? A friend of mine got a custom Cobra that's about 80% complete. He spent 60k on just that. I'm curious if anyone has a from scratch experience? I keep looking at the Labroghini Diablo kits.

    Hi-Def Security Cameras?

    Your right on every account. I have even seen people put up dummy cameras in hopes it sways vandals. Thing that sucks is I have busted people breaking into our soda machines at our amenity center with a clear picture of them LOOKING at the camera but unless it is big news it doesn't get put on...

    Hi-Def Security Cameras?

    The one we have at a high capture rate with the hi res camera stores about 14 days using a 160 gig 8- channel dvr. It's a Speco DVR PC8 using Speco CVC-550EX bullet cameras with IR. You can also set the time when you want to record and use motion to start recording.

    Hi-Def Security Cameras?

    We have them at our amenity center. We use the hi res which uses a lot of storage but you only need enough so that when an event happens you can scan through it and make copies. Who cares if it records for 30 days if nothing happened.

    Roth IRA

    What are the advantages of a Roth 401k? My employer matches up to 6% but I put 10% in my 401. Should I be taking that additional 4% and investing it in a Roth 401? I don't qualify for a Roth because of the income.

    Career choices: recommendations and advice

    He can go to college for the first 2 years and take core courses without declaring a major. He will need a undergrad before going to medical school anyway. Typically people will not go to the same school for grad work.

    Remotes

    I want to get a new remote to control all of my gear. Do any of them really control every function of the original remote? How can a 100 dollar remote replace and do EVERYTHING my other 8 remotes can?

    Woman drinks so much water she dies

    I have heard of this because there have been several reported cases of parents forcing their kids into drinking excessive amounts of water causing death in the news. One was of a sitter that did it to a child who had wet their pants.

    NCAA Football 2007 Season

    "It was really frustrating," Ginn said with his head down, as a big protective boot sat by his leg. "I know I hurt it on the celebration, but I really don't know exactly how." Strange.

    NCAA Football 2007 Season

    I heard it was celebrating the kickoff return then he came in for their first real offensive play and showed he couldn't move. I have yet to see what really happened or the extent of his injury. I really do hope he's okay. I hope Ron Zook takes pride in recruiting some of these guys.

    Would you sell your home for $1M?

    Where? How long ago? Why? Where are you now? I have been in North Florida since 77. It's gotten better with time. We moved from R.I. and while I miss the scenery I don't miss the cold or the economics. I can afford to go to a cold area any time I miss it too much but I love playing golf year...
