How could you be taxed on something like that? :roll:



Jon, the IRS actually notified him that he would be taxed on the ball on a perceived value. Since he can not afford the taxes on the perceived value of the ball, he has put the ball on e-bay to get the highest bid. Some believe that ball will fetch half a million.

WRONG! WRONG! WRONG! Steel wheels on a car get torqued to a minimum of 70 ft. lbs. If the car is equipped with 7/16" studs, 70 to 80 ft. lbs., if you have 1/2" studs, 80 to 100 ft. lbs. Aluminum wheels go 15 to 20 over the previous specs. You're not puttin' spark plugs in, you're puttin' wheels on!

Ooops!
I read about alloy rims beetwen 70 to 90 lbs
and standard steel wheels 30 lbs/ft or "your arm force" with normal wrench.
so I always thigh like that.
So why the manufacture give to you a small wrench to replace the wheels?

Mitch, I just figured Andre was trying to kill Daisy. No idea why. I torqued them to 80 foot pounds. This Jungle is getting VERY dangerous.

No one can figure out the hot wheels on my brakes. So much for the experts, right?

Damn it, somebody tell me what the Labatts 50 is. I can see the case and the bottle, and the case says 12 bottles in the upper left corner, but that looks like a 12 oz. bottle, or is really a huge 50 oz. bottle. I could dig a 50 oz. bottle, less trips to the cooler. :)

That's OK, Andre. I just put 'em on with my Snap-On impact wrench. Brrrrrrap. Then Bap, bap, bap, with the air turned all the way down. Gentle, like Charmin. :wink: The big Snap-On gun has 650 ft. lbs. in forward, 700 ft. lbs. in reverse. Ya take off and put on 4 or 5000 wheels, I can usually land within 3-5 ft. lbs. of specified torque. :) :)

You know, I think if I'd a been the guy that caught that Barry Bonds homer ball and the IRS told me I'd have to pay taxes on it, I'd ask them how much tax on a ball that cost a Major League Team $4.00. They buy them buy the case, and I don't give a rats' *** if Babe Ruth came back from the dead and hit the damn thing, it's a friggin' $4 ball! Who the hell do they think they are, puttin' a value on something that may or may not exist. WTF! Somebody gives you a 3rd Rail steamer, the IRS says that some day it might be worth $1 mil, and you have to pay tax on it based on their say so. F#%k 'em!

Daisy, methinks you're in the cups! :wink: :D


One thing about drinkin' Miller Lite, you can just keep sluggin' 'em down, and nothin' happens. Kinda like drinkin' O'douls. (Sic) :lol:

I'm sure they've already thought of that, so, best to keep it low profile, lest they bring it up again. Someday, we'll probably have to fill out a 1099 for how many times a year we do it.

:lol: How much is the tax on 3 times. :P
