Please...enough with the uniform thing...if we/they start worrying that a certain uni combo has an influence on how they play...then we/they are a bunch of "pansies" who don't deserve to win.

I liked it...but get rid of the wide stripes on the pants.

Can we go burgundy on the mask too?

I grew up on the old burgundy top/gold pants so I guess I am biased. Didn't like it when they changed. I like the spear combo and would like to see them go back to that actually...but use the current shade of red.

Agreed, however I wouldn't consider our prices ridiculous. Most people nowadays just plain old don't know about cars. There is a price for all of that knowlege, as well as the amount of back breaking work it takes to do it day in and day out.
Like I said before...I think the 950.00 to change brakes and rotors was a little ridiculous, I don't care how much knowledge or sore backs it takes. You don't have to know a lot to change brakes and rotors. I ordered everything and did it for 230.00. 720.00 for "all that knowledge".. I don't think so...I do think that quote was ridiculous.

I got a quote from a shop for replacing brakes and rotors on my Jeep Liberty. 950.00 parts and labor. I went online and ordered everything I need and did the whole job for 300.00...took maybe 2 hours.
I won't deny that people can do work for cheaper than at a repair station. You can do anything cheaper when you buy things online. The problem I see here is this. If you have 1 car and only 1 car, you can't affort to wait 2 days (at best) for this part to come in. If you have a job, you need to be at work. It's not a viable excuse to miss work because you have to wait a week for your part to arrive. That is where repair stations come into play. We (as an industry) provide speedy and professional service, of course there is a cost to that.
If you are a good do it yourselfer, don't have an immediate need for the car you are repairing, and don't mind performing the repair again if you make a mistake or get a defective part, it's a good idea to fix your cars yourselves. You will end up saving a bunch of money. Otherwise, you should take your car to the professionals.
As far as brakes. I wouldn't skimp on the price. I would buy original equipment (if Japanese or European) or top quality ceramic (if American). You'll save yourself a lot of embarrasment when your brakes start squeaking for no apparent reason.
This is true, I was just pointing out that if you have the means you can save drastic amounts of money by avoiding the ridiculous prices dealers and private shops charge for doing relatively simple repairs.

I just paid 650.00 to have a new alternator and battery installed. How big of a sucker am I?

Wow...is that the Docs house...plastic chairs and canned chips? I'm guessing that ain't Jim Carey's place. Its sad when a man that has contributed all he has is living no better than I am...Carey should have to trade places with Hawking.

I think the Dolphin helmets have had changes over the years. Seems to me that the dolphins position on the sun has changed....and the dolphin itself has changed come to think of it.

I modified my throwback that I did a while ago and tried to add the R helmet.
So this should be close to what we'll see.
I think this would look better if the yellow were changed to a gold...much like the 49ers use. Maybe gold helmet and stripes but white pants.

Gotta give this guy credit...he's trying hard.
