  1. New Jersey Borough Bans Outdoor Drinking Games

    in New York / New Jersey

    Posted

    BELMAR — In an ongoing effort to rein in rowdy renters and visitors, the borough has banned outdoor games involving alcohol and plans to establish taxi stands around bars.

    The "beer pong" ordinance, which was adopted on July 27, prohibits any alcohol-related games or contests from being played outdoors in locations such as porches, decks, lawns and front and side yards, or anywhere that can be viewed by the public or neighbors.

    The games, which the ordinance says are increasingly popular among summer renters, can expose "families and their impressionable children to foul language, rowdy and disorderly behavior" and "detrimental" cases of alcohol consumption.

    The taxi stand ordinance, which also was introduced on July 27 and will have a public hearing on Aug. 10, would designate late-night cab stands on the west side of Ocean Avenue, the north side of 13th Avenue, the south side of 16th Avenue and the west side of Main Street.

    The ordinance is intended to improve traffic flow around bars and restaurants and decrease resident complaints in neighborhoods where late-night patrons often have to walk around to hail cabs. Taxis and livery vans would be forbidden from picking up or dropping off passengers from 10 p.m. to 4 a.m. within 300 feet of a taxi stand, except if the area is full. In that case, taxis would be allowed to pick up and drop off customers nearby.

    "I think they are both to serve an important purpose," Mayor Kenneth E. Pringle said of the ordinances. "It's just part of our ongoing effort to continue to improve the quality of life in our neighborhoods."

    As Belmar sheds seasonal rentals for more expensive year-round homes, the warfare has intensified between traditional enterprises and some permanent residents — often newcomers who are less tolerant of boisterous activities.

    For the first time in years, some Belmar homeowners objected to the liquor license renewals of D'Jais on Ocean Avenue and Bar Anticipation near the Lake Como-Belmar border. To the delight of some full-time residents, the borough introduced an ordinance that would establish permit-parking zones to limit overnight parking by visitors on residential streets. But last month, officials abandoned the plan — at least for this year — after protests from borough residents and business owners.

    The two new ordinances received a warm reception from a few residents attending the July 27 meeting.

    "I just want to say thank you," said Johanna Corallo, of A Street, addressing the mayor and council on the beer pong ordinance. "It's a great ordinance."

    But, with the ordinances, Belmar is trying to drive out young visitors, who spend "top dollar" on housing and drinks in the area, said Michael Todd, a summer resident who has filed a complaint against a Belmar police officer for issuing summonses to him and a friend while they were playing Wiffle Ball outside.

    "It's making it unbearably annoying," said Todd, 27, who lives with 17 people in a 18-room summer rental. "I didn't know Belmar all of sudden turned into a big dictatorship borough."

    New Car and Driver Sept '05 they test a Audi RS4 against the current M3 and a C55 Benz. The first thing that caught my eye was the estimated price of $80,000 for the RS4. :jawdrop: The C55 and M3 are 13.3 secs for the 1/4 mile and the M3 is 13.6. 0-60 times are 4.8 secs for the Audi and M3, the C55 is 4.7. I would rather save $20,000 and buy the Benz or BMW anyday. Not impressed at all. :yuck:

    The all new M3 with a 400hp V8 will crush this RS4 considering it hardly beats the current M3. There is also no way BMW will push their price up to $80,000 as Audi has done with the RS4. Good luck to Audi with this one.

    bullshit BMW's holdup the best the longest ...

    i was a valet parking attendant for like year and a half. Benz's fall to pieces quicker than BMW's.

    I don't doubt it but how fast do Audi's fall to pieces? I am sure faster than either Benz or BMW.

    Engineers attempted to keep the weight down by employing aluminum on body panels and suspension parts, but the car still weighs a rather chunky 3600 pounds. We predict that the upcoming 400-hp V-8 BMW M3 will be at least 150 lbs less. Audi claims the RS4 can achieve 62 mph in 4.8 seconds, which is about what we predict the next M3 will do. Even if the RS4 can't shake an M3 on a road course, it may be able to beat its BMW counterpart on looks--a revised front fascia, larger tailpipes, and lightweight wheels effectively portray a much more aggressive stance than the common S4. We'll find out who takes the next round of the classic Ingolstadt-Munich rivalry as soon as we can get our hands on both of these highly desirable Teutonic muscle cars.

    Will this really beat the new M3? The fight will continue.

    The RS4 sits an inch lower than a standard A4 and the suspension, hood and front fenders are aluminum. The substitution of ultra-light RS buckets keeps weight down to 3850 pounds. The engine develops an M3-withering 418 hp at 7800 rpm and cracks 100 hp per liter. It delivers 90 percent of its 317 lb-ft (at 5500 rpm) of torque peak between 2250 and 7600 rpm. The rev limiter is set at a barely believable 8250 rpm. And if you think the 4.5 seconds Audi claims for the 0-to-60-mph sprint is impressive, 0 to 124 mph in 16.6 seconds turns the M3 into a distant spectator.
