Despite the length of time chiropractic manipulation has been in practice, there are few agreements in studies and surveys about efficacy, long term results and cost effectiveness.
I used to go to the chiro-cracker twice a month, felt good for a few days but never healed anything. I bought an inversion table and haven't been back since. It cost the same as about 6 visits. Should I call my Teeter Hang-Ups "Doctor"?

I've done a lot of hands on research into this subject While implants may look okay they don't feel okay. Over the muscle are the worst. With the under the muscle kind you just end up feeling the muscle. With stock boobies, you feel what you're supposed to.

I think this goes to anywhere for anyone: No one should ever be allowed to put non-Mercedes rims on a Mercedes or paint a Mercedes in a god-awful color such as these people (which we may describe as ignorant, unintelligent, and just plain disgraceful): MERCEDES BENZ R350 ON 30" ASANTI RIMS!!! WETTT!!! WETTT!!! - YouTube
good way to ruin a Benz. I'm fine with seeing some American cars looking like that or maybe an Asian car but a European car should never be done. I would be in favor of a law banning it, as classy vehicles should never be ruined

Curiosity did kill the cat. Why not you?

What was it? The nipple rings or the shark tooth?

I actually like the color. The rims are idiotic. However, it's an R-class, so I could give a crap how it gets molested.
