Any fellow car nuts out there?? If so, what do you drive? If you dont have a car, what would you like to get? Just bought a 1991 BMW 525i for a project car. In great shape, needs nothing really, so going to jump right into modding it. Current plans are: 1. EAT chip 2. 3.46 LSD (stock is 3.23) 3. Schrick cams 4. 6 puck clutch 5. Black paint 6. OEM wheels from the current M5 7. HIDs and clear corners 8. AC Schnitzer front bumper After that is done, going to drop in a big brake kit and some coilovers. Possibly a turbo or supercharger down the road. Goal is to simply update the exterior, and achieve a squeaky clean interior using mainly OEM parts in the interior. Ultimately, want this to be my "fun car"...something to take out on those days when I just feel like going out on a long, pointless drive in the country. Also have a 1999 Mercedes ML320 as my daily driver; haven't done much to that other than some a/v stuff. Just got it last month; wrecked my 08 C class on New Years day. Got rid of my 1993 300ZX a while back. Was my baby!! 388 HP @ the wheels, Ferrari Yellow paint. Pics coming soon!

I don't think that's necessarily true. We certainly didn't have anyone better than Dumervil before we let him go. We probably have a plan for C, but I don't think that guy is currently on the roster.

A couple more DBs wouldn't hurt either; preferably from Bama

I have to agree with everyone here. This was just an incredible value. This defense is going to be absolutely sick. Steal of the entire draft.

I have mixed feelings at the moment. Really had my heart set on one of the three WR yesterday. Humphrey, I feel the same as I did about Mosely when we took him...great talent but not a glaring need. But considering what was left on the board, 100% he was the right pick. Actually liked all of our picks aside from Bowers, but that's probably because I know little about him. Our offense is screwed. Even if we get Mangold and Boldin, unless Perriman steps up and we find a 3rd day gem at OG or RT, we're in for a long year on offense.

Well, last year I was very excited when in the 2nd round we selected a raw, athletic pass rusher with some good tape indicating high upside. Then we moved him to ILB for reasons still beyond me, and kept him there when he predictably struggled, and finally showed a little something when he went back outside. Hope this is not deja vu.

i thought that dude's cat walked on his keyboard or something

been trying to figure out what the heck that dude said. I'm still lost Been insanely busy the last few months, then when I finally have time to come back on the boards...well, you know... Whatchu thinking of the draft so far??

This was a guy many projected going to NO at #11 overall. He was good value where we got him. I won't lie, I was extremely disappointed that we did not get one of the three WRs, I was certain one of them would fall to us. My predraft wish list, Humphrey was #6 on that list. So if I look at it from that perspective, it would be easy to be upset with this pick. On the other hand...Of the guys left on the board, who was a better choice? Allen dropped like a rock because he is this year's Myles Jack. Foster, who I love and feel like was born to play on a 2000s Ravens D, has personal and health issues that can't be overlooked in a 1st round pick. Howard, okay, I can get on board with that, but we already have Gilmore and Waller behind Pitta. Really, I think he was absolutely the right choice when we got on the clock. This kid has been compared to Jimmy Smith by many people. He isn't as good a pure cover man as Jimmy, but I think he is just as good, maybe better, a press corner as Smith is -- and that is saying something. And he can hit like a truck. I saw bmorebird22 talk about how he fits like a glove. I think that is spot on correct. And think about it...We all recognize how much fitting a scheme affects a players development and performance. With all this raw talent and athleticism, as well as only being 20, this pick may well result in multiple Pro Bowls.

what?

There's no way he's still there at 24 - 28. Only reason he lasted this long is because of the qb and wr runs

Wonderful news! I understand the business part, but really, it would seem so unnatural to see Webby wearing any other uniform.

Well, the comment wasn't directed at people like you, who believe he is a quality QB. So, you value him along the lines of say, Rivers, Romo (pre-2016), Cam, etc...no way a guy like Rivers or Cam goes for just two 1st rounders. Or, as you mentioned, if Garrapolo is worth #1 plus another high draft pick, then Flacco is worth much, much more.

Davis is who I'm hoping for. If he's gone, then Ross would be a great consolation prize.

You are right, this offense needs a playmaker, not a move the chains guy. Like I said, Ross is probably the best playmaker in the draft at WR, and that 4.22 burst is a huge reason why he is such a beast in the red zone as well. I don't care how it gets done, jump balls, YAC, whatever, just get it done. Ross gets it done,

I'd take Ross in a heartbeat. Would we not add Marvin Harrison just because Harrison's skill set doesn't complement Perriman and Wallace? LOL! And obviously I'm not calling Ross the next Marvin Harrison. This offense needs playmakers, and Ross is probably the biggest one at WR.

Solid signing. Now the defense just needs a pass rusher and I'll be really stoked.

It's absolutely hilarious that some of you guys think that Flacco is so worthless, but we'd get two 1st rounders for him despite being so worthless. Which one is it?? LOL!

The most immediate issue I see is being hosted on boardhost. It's going to limit the software and features and the like in many ways. I'll PM him and talk to him about some concerns and we'll make sure we get this kicked off good and proper, the Ravens and their fans deserve nothing but the best!

I've been away from the forums for a couple months so I am "out of the loop"; whoever owns the message board can contact me at andrew at diamondphp.com Please point them to this post, and let them know if they need help with backend development, server administration or whatever, just get hold of me. Just want to add, my concern is that this isn't something we can run on some $9/month shared server. This will require proper planning and hardware; I don't want us to go through the time and expense of building up a new home, only to have to do it again in six months because the new home can't handle the traffic due to hardware or software limitations (not saying that applies to the site you linked to, but thinking aloud here)

If they actually go through with closing the boards down, want you all to know that it was a great pleasure to have met so many cool and knowledgeable people. I always loved this place, and the people in it. Thank you for having me. BOLDnPurPnBlacK has suggested he may create a message board for us to migrate to. I will gladly do so if he decides not to or if issues arise where he is unable to. Any suggestions for the new forum name?

This is all because of Flacco's $120M contract.

Do it. And if you need assistance of ANY kind, no charge, I am a web developer by trade, have been so for nearly ten years. I was also part of the team that did the makeover for RSR a few years back. PM me if interested. In fact, if you don't I think I likely will.

I agree with your opinion on Jones being the top CB in the class. Would be very excited to get him.
