Just sent mine to you. But the photo release form link is broken

Thanks for doing this griffGirl. Looking forward to the voting round

Sooooo....

Any movement on this?

Have been enjoying last year's for 10 months...want to make sure there's another 14 pics lined up

I know a bunch of people who hunt. Deer, moose, etc. They always, always, always eat what they shoot. And it's bloody delicious meat, too.

I'm going to stay out of this thread after this...I've said my bit

But...

Many mental illnesses do not show. How much of someone's life do we actually see? I bet you have secrets, could keep secrets, could have a part of your life that is entirely private. We normally judge someone based on instinct and extremely limited information. More often than not, the reason that this judgment is correct is simply that most people are relatively ordinary. Many people with non-criminal mental diseases - such as depression, anxiety, anorexia, bulimia - are able to hide them for many years from people very close to them.

Therefore, some people might be properly mentally ill and we'd have no idea...especially if we force them to hide it. And yes, it is extremely hard to pick them out for preventative treatment.

To my mind we need a combination of both prevention and cure. A society of open tolerance with a fair chance to heal yourself and make good, followed by a swift, severe and cheap death penalty.

But I am reminded of a documentary I saw about a man who molested his own kids because of a brain tumor. He had the tumor removed, the need to touch his kids went away. Then he started doing it again and they looked..the tumor had grown back. Some collateral damage is allowable, but this kind of story does add a certain twist to it.

And now I'm done. Really.

Exactly. But is it the death penalty? Rational, sane people respond to a threat such as the death penalty. If sex crimes are the result of a kind of insanity, then it's not clear they'll see the death penalty as a threat.

As I understand it, the need to get caught is what motivates some people to commit a crime. Serial killers, for example: getting caught and being killed for it is part of the reason (thrill?) of killing.

It sounds wrong to say it, but more than likely the only people who know what they need to NOT commit a sex crime is sex criminals.

I think you'll find I'm not too wrong in saying that the European perspective is very similar. Sex crimes are some of the very worst crimes imaginable simply because of the innocence of the victim and the f***ed up nature of the crime. I, myself, am utterly appalled and saddened by this and can imagine that this has really hurt you - as a father, especially.

As far as the death penalty goes, I don't know. Death is a way to protect the innocent from future crimes and make the public feel safer, and feel that justice has been served - a justice that matches or exceeds the crime. This is a good thing. It is not, however, a deterrent - sex crimes seem to come from a severe mental illness and, just like homicide, there is no evidence that the death penalty stops people doing the crime. And the problem with the death penalty then is that there must be one victim before there can be punishment. Surely the best thing is to prevent all sex crimes. This cannot be done if the solution is revenge.

To eliminate all sex crimes there must be exploration and understanding - the problem must be understood. This is harder, because it means that we need to be able to talk about it. People who suffer the mental problems that lead to sex crimes need to be able to talk about it with someone. This stretches our tolerance much farther than it has ever been stretched. But it is only through openness and therapy that ALL children can be protected.

That is the rational side of it. But I know that just like you, and everyone else I expect, I'd want to kill the ****er, too

Edit: just wanted to add - I do recognize that not all sex criminals are mentally ill - some people are just plain bad.

Definitely a pre-facelift SS-II. But you have an SS-III steering wheel. And I think those are TRD skirts...the SS-II came skirt free.

You also have the biggest spoiler I have ever seen!

Nice looking car, though, with some good mods already done.

What are your plans for it?

Awesome pics of some beautiful Celicas.

And great pics of Calgary, too...I'm so homesick!

I have an auto GT and definitely don't have that problem. Have you checked the transmission fluid? Someone with more mechanical knowledge can offer better advice, but I reckon it definitely should not be doing that.

Calgary, AB

Now serving a long sentence in the UK

Really great work. Please keep us updated with the install...looking to do the same thing myself and you are saving me loads of experimentation time.

I think the front end would have to be redone a little, but that wouldn't mean getting rid of the twin headlights. Fundamentally, the 6GC is very similar to the latest Aston Martins, the Bentley Continental GT and the Hyundai Coupe.

Check and see what kind of suspension you have. I am not 100% sure about USDM cars, but the 99 might very well have superstrut on it. If it does, make sure it's been sorted and you have receipts for fig 8s, banana arms, drop links etc. Renewal is between 60k and 80k (miles) depending on how it was driven.

The first is very common...it's a good look, but won't stand out any more.

The third is good. Chrome lips aren't my first choice, but they are good looking wheels.

I think the second is the most up to date and would look very good with painted calipers.

These aren't hard to find, are they?

Like these?: left and right.

Sadly, also no Mr Lube in the UK. Drive thru oil changes? Much too convenient...we like to pay more, waste time, and get less

No really.

No worries. Good luck finding skirts, and post some pics

He makes them, so I'd think they're in stock all the time.

You could get them from the UK: http://www.hediko.com/96-99%20Celica%20Parts.htm

He often lists them on eBay, too.

He's a member of CCUK, and the fitment on these is excellent.

Only splitters, though.

They're pretty rare, man.

You can buy aftermarket splitters easily enough. Someone on here, I think it's doggy (or something like that) does them...I think...could be wrong. But the skirts are not so easy.

It's a personal thing. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Coke or Pepsi.

I love this body kit, but I'd never put it on my car. It's too extreme for me, but you're right, it is very pretty.

Google is your friend

Very true. Car is you. Make your car what you want to be.

However, it is pretty rice And your car would some serious body kit to pull that decal off. That's my opinion, though, and as such worth exactly 2 cents.
