I am a fan of both. For different reasons. Most of my ARs are "retro", but I do have an M-4-copy as well. I also appreciate the ruggedness and simplicity of the AK platform.

I may revisit this subject later, given your experience...

OK, Turbo-4 or V-8?

Turbo4. Im biased, and ill tell you why. Given the same ammount of money thrown at both (lets say in a t-bird for example) they will make similar power. I like telling people after a race that its just a 4. the look on their faces is worth the extra aggravation. plus, i like making more than a 100 ftlbs of torque more than a similar horsepower v8

What's a good home welder? I'm looking at the Hobart 140, cause it's flux/mig, goes up to 1/4, and runs off a 115v. But I do have a 230v outlet...

The hobart is a great welder. Other recomendations i would make would be either the Miller Millermatic 185 or the Miller 130xp. All three are great general purpose welders between 300 and 1000 bucks. All will weld 1/4 with ease. If you do it right, you can even weld thin metal like floorpans at higher amperages because they 3e so easy to use.

why do i have to give up 30% of my paycheck for it to only be given to wastefull government policies that support generations of leaching baby making factories?

why do people buy into a government that would rather spoon feed drivers licenses, an income, free tuition, 100% medical, housing etc. to crim. aliens baby making factories and their offspring, and scumbags of the like while i have to struggle along, busting my ass to pay my mortgague, my ins. fuel my car, feed my family, heat my home, pay my bills, figure out how im going to put my children through college etc.....

immigrants are great. its the free loading crimigrants that some of us people hate. earn your way, learn to speak the effing language, pull your own weight and your good with me.

who can possibly think its fair otherwise? how, and why?

i get a little pissed off when my own president thinks my children should speak another language (other than the one of their own country) to accomodate people like this.
