Tried out the projector lights I won last year just for the heck of it. First of all, the fitment is next to crap. Couldn't get them to go all the way in. And second, I really couldn't tell much of a difference from the dark smoked ones w/ silverstars I got from AM. I'll sell them real cheap. 
Not a very good business model you've got there. Telling people how ****ty the product is BEFORE you try to sell it.

Polaris ATV with airless tires hits the road
Published November 18, 2013
The non-pneumatic “tires” (NPTs) are comprised of a tread band supported by a polymeric web in place of an air-filled carcass. According to Polaris, they can withstand a direct hit from a .50 caliber round, or a railroad spike-size puncture and continue for hundreds of miles without failing.

I was wondering when we'd finally start seeing those tires on real, buyable vehicles. 
Can't wait to get these for streetcars. It seems I get a flat from a nail or glass or something every few months in this city. They're no 50cals but still :P

I don't think they've announced a price on these tires alone, but I'm sure they will be out of my price range!Luckily I haven't had a flat tire in the last 25 years or so, lol. Mr. Jill gets them all the time in his company truck.

Lee, will you do me a favor and PM me your sweet potato casserole recipe again when you get a chance? I thought I saved it, but I can't find it. Sorry

I'll just put it here so if anyone else that wants to try it they can. I know Nathan made it, but I don't know if he can eat it anymore.
4 cups of mashed sweet potatoes. You can use canned sweet potatoes, but I prefer fresh ones. They make the dish turn our more firm and robust. I can't really say how many to get because it depends on size. Peel them, cut them into small chunks and boil them with a pinch of salt like you were going to make mashed potatoes.
Mash them like you would regular mashed potatoes.
Add 1 cup of regular white sugar.
2 large eggs.
1 tablespoon of vanilla extract.
1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
1 stick of real butter (not margarine) (approximately 1/2 cup)
Mix all of them together with a cake mixer until smooth.
Pour/spoon into a buttered casserole dish. A smaller deep dish is better, like a deep 8x8 or 9x11 is best so the topping covers it better.
The topping.
1 and 1/4 cup (packed) of brown sugar. 1 and 1/2 cups of chopped pecans, 1 stick of softened/melted real butter (approx. 1/2 cup). Mix all together, and spoon it onto the top of the potato mix you have in the casserole dish, try to get it covered as evenly as you can.
Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.
Optional if you like marshmallows. After baking it for 30 minutes, take the dish out, sprinkle the top with miniature marshmallows (however many you'd like), and put it back in until they start to melt and brown.
Now here's one thing to note. It is really sweet like that above, therefore I normally use 5-6 cups of sweet potatoes so its not as sweet and the potatoes tend to be thicker, which I like. And the butter in the potatoes, you could probably cut that down to 3/4 or maybe even half a stick if you wanted to kind of watch what you're eating.

Same would happen in winter. I could see those getting snow in the bottom and freezing over so in the morning you'd have an ice chunk for a tire.

For an off road vehicle that sounds like a bad idea. Unless the close in the sidewalls. Drive that through some thick mud and seems like its gonna get stuck in the tire.

I'm not too big on casseroles and really haven't had sweet potatoes since a kid at home. But the marshmallows linked the synapses and now I remember having something like this at home with Mom's cooking. I guess I'll have to make one...

To me its more like a desert than a casserole entree or side dish, but it goes so good with a ham and turkey for some reason.
