If I unplug my modem overnight, when I plug it back in in the morning, I now have a new IP address that was different than what I had.
So your address is unrelated to your computer.
But... your internet provider knows who has what address, so if you were naughty they just have to look up who had what and when.

If I connect my phone with the data connection from Verizon, I get yet another IP address and even that one will constantly change every time I lose a connection and get it back.

Ip adress changes with where you get the internet.

That's what I was thinking but wasn't sure - that the clear is fading/hazing over time.
I went to a top notch 30 yr shop and they were pretty adamant that clear doesn't blend in well so they shot several entire panels. Maybe shops that do blend clear have the problem of different fade rates.

Lee I wasnt trying to sound like I was starting anything.
Yes white is the hardest color to match period. Also if kept up with the detailing and waxing the colors would never fade at a different rate. And yes plastics do take colors differently that is why you will see brand new vehicles with slightly different shades of colors.

I've noticed that the front end on Camaros seem to be the worst about that, going all the way back to the late 70's. When the new ones came out I was shocked to see they still had the same problem. Red, yellow and silver on the new ones seem to show it the worst, and the ones that have the problem stand out like a sore thumb where the nose piece meets the fenders and hood.

I've got a sickness. It's some kind of car fever. I see cars and I want to buy one, even if I don't need it. The big problem is that I have a hard time letting cars I have go, I just want to buy more. Well the addiction has come to the edge. Literally. The Edge. I saw a White Platinum Edge Sport with those good looking 22" wheels on the road yesterday, and it looked fantastic. So I started looking around, and hit the build and price on Ford's website. Holy ****!!! Msrp for the one I would want is $43K!!!

I think you've been hanging around Gary a little too much.

Jill looking at the damage I can tell you that a body shop can just paint the bumper and it be fine. You wouldnt be able to tell that there were scratches and scuffs there. Also I can tell you that the car that hit you has your paint on it too. So just maybe kinda keep an eye out for a car with red marks on it.
Also sorry to hear about this happening. I hate people that dont take responsibilty for what they do.

On the upside (if there is one) since I'm having work done on the bumper, I'm having him take the front plate off and fix where the holes are and I'm going to buy a show n go retractable license plate holder.
I hate to disagree with you, but I had to sell my GT/CS with 1500 or so miles over an incident like that. Yes, I am particular, but it just didn't work out for me. I couldn't live with it (but I am a perfectionist ocd freak like Gary). Check IV for the story that's been told before. 
I wish it was possible. I really wish we had security cameras on this building. I remember years ago I saw someone hit a car in the parking garage where I used to work and then take off. I got the tag number and had the building's office look at the security camera to prove the hit and run. It was a pain for me because I had to take off of work and go to court as a witness. The lady was appreciative though!

Tornado warned part of the storm is headed in my direction, though there's no warning here yet. Getting some incredible lightning footage though!

I know. I was debating this. That's alot of coin, but if I can drive it for 200,000 miles then it might be worth it. I need to look at them again. Do you have a link or know where to search?
I'd really like to have a 60/40 front seat like I had in my 2001 F250 and then a 60/40 middle and then the rear seats. Plus I'd rather have the old 7.3 instead of the 6.0 but those are older.
We spent a lot of time in the Expidition the past week and I'd like to get some more room and a diesel and right now my Expi with 50k miles is worth about the same as a 2004-2005 Excursion XLT.
Plus the wife drives the SHO a lot and I'd gladly let he drive it whenever she wants.
As long as she doesn't make a mess of it like she does with there Expi. I mean geez throw something away in a trash can once in a while. She hates for me to drive her car because i ***** about the mess every time i get in it and then proceed to clean it out at every stop trying to get rid of trash.
