Oh, my father got insurance figures for some cars.

For reference, I believe a Lancer Ralliart was about $1500/year.

My 1998 Grand Prix GTP is $1183.
A 2008 Subaru WRX is $1923.
A 2007 Infiniti G35x is $1794.
 
That WRX certainly shows the habits of those who drive it; the Infiniti is just a very expensive car to repair; my Grand Prix still goes into insurance figures as a supercharged vehicle. The Ralliart also shows how new its design is, their information isn't very complete, but it's much the same as a WRX, a turbocharged rally car design.
 
When I decided to buy—at the end of December, when salespeople are desperate to meet their quotas—I faxed seventeen car dealers and told them exactly which car I wanted. I said I was prepared to buy the car within two weeks and, because I knew exactly how much profit they would make off the car, I would go with the lowest price offered to me. The same day, as I sat back with a cup of Earl Grey tea and a Taco Bell burrito, faxes started rolling in from the dealers. After I had all the offers, I called the dealers, told them the lowest price I’d received, and gave each of them a chance to beat it. This resulted in a bidding war that led to a downward spiral of near-orgasmic deals.
In the end, I chose a dealer in Palo Alto who sold me the car for $2,000 under invoice—a nearly unheard-of price. I didn’t have to waste my time going to multiple dealerships, and I didn’t have to bother with slimy car salesmen. I went into only one dealer’s office: the winning one.
 
I honestly think right now if there was a Zaxby's scented perfume, it would allure me more than the most expensive European brand in existence.

Damn, that's some awesome work.

Palo Alto is a lot more conducive to that than Statesboro, GA, or Tewksbury, MA.

I fucking love Google search.

Search: Olympic rings.
Search does not give the results I want, another term comes to mind.
Highlight Olympic, leave rings, type the letter g, and it fills in gymnastic rings, by reading off the intact second word.
 
Okay, spacing is variable, but given that it appears the joists are 16" center to center, I can hang them about 17.5" apart easily enough.
 
If I hung secondary joists and shot the strap mounts through both, it'll provide more strength to it, and increase the spacing to 20.5".
 
The reworking of this room has become considerably more complex in the last 12 hours (despite sleeping for 7 of them), but it has also been considerably improved in terms of usefulness, safety, and optimization of space.
