I have some on order, should have it next Tuesday according to the email confirmation. Even though I live in a house with a hose I wanted to try it out. LOL
If you can afford to 4-wheel through the mud then you should be able to afford to drive through a carwash. IMO
Arie drives the F-150, read the article again
"It's great for families who live in condominiums or apartments who don't have access to washing their car with a hose," said Luyendyk, who uses it on his silver Ford F-150 Lightning Series truck.

I get 3rd most points overall and still sit at 2nd from bottom - sheesh
Anything with Neil Young has to be good.
Looking through Flikr saw this iShelf:
I honestly don't know. I thought we'd see it by now. It seems there are a lot of people who just think MSEP is a scam stock, which they are not. They have real products and real relationships. I guess once revenues start being reported and/or major news hits the wires then it will happen.
Drift Australian champ Leighton Fine has been added to Martini Racing's team. Along with Mark Philips his car will use and sport the GS610 logo. Here's his car, logo not on yet.
Lets have a great race today! This race is making me a ton of money!!
I love that penguin pic in your sig - I watch it every time I see one of your posts-ROTFLOL!
In the third biggest apparel retail IPO ever, J. Crew Group Inc.'s (JCG) shares rose nearly 28 percent for their trading debut after pricing higher than expected. J. Crew's performance is a bright spot in the initial public offering market, which has faltered since mid-May. But the New York-based preppy retailer, which has transformed itself from a struggling apparel chain to a fashion powerhouse, now faces pressure from shareholders to keep churning out fashion hits.
I see some talking about JCG here.

If anyone has info or news they would like to share. Thanks!

Dodge/Save Mart 350 started 5th finished 9th winnings $89,425
Me too, the name didn't even register at first, has he won anything in the last 3 years?
29, 20, 16 Pepsi 400 picks.
Boris Said??? Anyone think he'll finish in the top 10?
It is just wrong to state that MSEP is selling shares to run this operation. YES, they are using the stock program to fund operations as stated in the 10KSB, but the focus is not solely on that, it is on selling their new and existing products. Hence the recent PR's.
Yes - Dave has been nothing but kind to me too. I think we will see a good turn around here.
Although, I wish I could have gotten in on the $20 IPO. The funds that I could have used are in an IRA. Called my broker and they said they are not participating in this IPO... ooof.
restricted shares: 83,082,702
That's why I am not even a shareholder... yet. There's no rule that says you have to own shares to be bullish about a company or moderate it's board, right?
Don't have to calculate the present value - I can look at the quote and see .0025 is it's present value (unfortunately).
Valuation calculations take too many things into consideration, I have never seen one that is accurate. For instance GOOG $600/Share - Cramer made a ton doing this.

"Lastly and honestly, why don't they put GS610™ and Spray 'n Shine™ on eBay if they really wanted to sell a lot of it?"
FFF If you so desire an answer to your question why don't you just ask the source?
Call Dave, Rhonda, John or Jesse. Please let us know what the answer is.
TIA
Good night all
This makes no sense. I create and name all my folders in iPhoto. Delegating photos to their respective folders. I have over 6000 photos and know exactly where a certain photo is if I need it.
"What is needed is buyers and interest for the stock or this stock will go no where."
I agree completely hence the statement I made - "The stock will go up as revenues increase, debt is paid down and investors see something worth buying."
