They look pretty, just gonna offset the rest of the dash/AC control colors now.


I'm guessing the red light on the oil pressure is on due to not having the sensor hooked up?


Are the gauges something YOU are doing, not something included in the BP kit?

There are seriously bigger issues in the current arena the media should be more attentive to.

well, im just imagining what these folks might be thinking. i dont think im too far off. i sympathize the folks that trusted him.
He certainly wasn't a role model, per se, to me, but I trusted him. And he disappointed me, though maybe not as much as other people. I just feel that the fact that he cheated at a sport shouldn't significantly alter the impact he had on people's lives outside of the sport. I think stripping him of all his cycling achievements is perfectly appropriate, but the media coverage is not. Obviously he's a very public figure and there's a very grey area here, but these are just my thoughts on the matter.

As much as people in life annoy, anger, appall, and sadden me...
I find there is some balance in life and that I am regularly entertained, calmed, amazed, and honored by people

yes he was. Unfortunately, the sport made all of his accomplishments null and void so that argument is null and void...

I'm pretty sure all the kids doing the madden competition were on steroids and I heard some had injected speed directly into their fingers right before a match to make them faster

And yes, media coverage in this country is just as appalling as the political system

sorry kids, not fine with me. not here to preach, back to off-topic.
It's definitely not ok what he did by cheating in professional competitions. Not punishing his career would be the worst message to send. His cycling career is zilch now, as it should be. Done. Over. I'm just not going to crucify the guy because he made a mistake in life. It's all the lying afterward that I have the biggest problem with because, like Ms. BC said, he had us going for a good while... that probably ended up being the worst message. If you make a mistake come clean; the bigger the mistake, the harder it is, but you'll get a lot more credit for coming clean quickly. The way Lance drug (pun intended) it out just makes him look like a slimeball

no more preaching and back to off-topic
