hello everyone. my name is jimmy, and i am new to columbus racing. i currently drive an 05 sti, but i am truly at home in a v8. ive had 4 mustangs prior to this, a 93 lx, an 89 lx 5.0, a 90 lx with a 460, and an 02 gt. now dont get me wrong, i love my sti, but really do miss my v8's. eventually, id like to get another one. but enough about me, i currently know some members from here, and would like to get to know more

i dont know if this has been on posted or not, but here it it... the GF's sister told us about it. its pretty funny http://stuffwhitepeoplelike.wordpress.com/ check outthe top posts.

I got a 04 Cr250r. Im down to go to Wayne of wherever. If anyone ever wants to hook up and ride I try to go every weekend in the summer.

So I posted this as a DIY on the civic forum and I'm bored now so i'm posting it here to. What are your opinions on it? So I recently got my Garmin Nuvi 650 from Costco ($299 FYI!). The suction cup mount sucks, a lot, and not in a good way. It seems that the damn thing falls off after an hr of driving. So the next natural thing was for me to look for alternative mounts on ebay. I decided to go with the cigarette lighter mount. The seller is Trueion (trueion.com). The best way to look for this thing on ebay is 'Powered Garmin GPS Mount'. I got it for ~$20 after shipping. Well After getting it I realized it was complete junk, I wouldn't trust my GPS on it! I decided not to return it since the shipping was half the price of the item, by the time I shipped it back I would only get like $6 back out of $20. So I decided to take matters into my own hands and make my own mount.:cheerleader: First I went ahead and removed the center console that surrounds the shifter, this includes the plastic pocket/cubby hole infront of the shifter. Then I looked through my brackets and happened to have one in my bin of parts. You can get this at any hardware store, I actually think I got this one at Walmart. Below is a picture of the cigarette lighter mount that sucks. I took it apart at the elbow, this was pretty easy because its held up with wing nuts. http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c192/BertoBizkit/GPS%20Mount/DSC00010600x450.jpg The next step for me was to bolt everything together as I envisioned it and make sure it wasn't going to interfere with the cigarette lighter or the lip on the console bin. The two next pictures show me putting it into place http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c192/BertoBizkit/GPS%20Mount/DSC00014.jpg http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c192/BertoBizkit/GPS%20Mount/DSC00015.jpg Next you are going to want to get your drill out and mark up the holes using the bracket you bought and choose the right bit depending on the size of the screws you decided to buy. I bought some low profile head screws because I was unsure how the interface we are drilling into interacts with the rest of the dash. http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c192/BertoBizkit/GPS%20Mount/DSC00016.jpg Then mount up your contraption! I used washers and wing nuts. The reason I chose to use wing nuts was because they are easy to adjust and remove if needed. I can take out this mount in less than 5 minutes with no tools. Also the wing nuts are hidden under the bin lip. http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c192/BertoBizkit/GPS%20Mount/DSC00017.jpg The cigarette lighter section has little teeth at the elbow (tried to show them in the picture). Since I like to over engineer things I cut a peice of Dynamat and put it on the metal L-bracket to give the teeth something to sink into and keep the elbow in the bracket from wiggling lose with use. It was holding fine without the Dynamat though. http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c192/BertoBizkit/GPS%20Mount/DSC00018.jpg http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c192/BertoBizkit/GPS%20Mount/DSC00019.jpg The following are progressive pictures of how everything was completed and is put together! http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c192/BertoBizkit/GPS%20Mount/DSC00020.jpg http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c192/BertoBizkit/GPS%20Mount/DSC00023.jpg http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c192/BertoBizkit/GPS%20Mount/DSC00026.jpg Give me some Rep points I don't have any yet!

Alot of the companies around here are cutting back their flying trips. The dowside is the they are furlowing their pilots and some are even selling their planes. I have my pilots license and so do quite a few people I know. It is a pretty hard industry for jobs right now.

my friend, nothing has ever been proven to me except what i can see with my own eyes, smell with my own snout, hear with my own ears, taste with my own tongue, and touch with my own fingertips therefore i have concluded your moms chest is flat, she smells/tastes like bacon, she looks/sounds like a gorilla and her offspring has evolved into a more human like creature

um... you drive a camaro

i personally dont believe its a sphere or an oval nor do i believe that its flat like a disc. its definately an interesting topic that explains a lot of other things if you believe it. first the flat earth side: an article on a flat earth flat earth society forum very good arguements and examples here my theory in progress i personally think its a sort of upside down ice cream cone/ egg shape; here are some very crude 1am paint drawings- first the most common side: http://aycu30.webshots.com/image/46869/2001989089542278712_rs.jpg next from the top: http://aycu34.webshots.com/image/50033/2001914168326024866_rs.jpg african side: http://aycu32.webshots.com/image/48231/2001987387509738911_rs.jpg and bottom: http://aycu05.webshots.com/image/48404/2001942175354295679_rs.jpg since i believe every word of the Bible and take it literally i think that Israel, Jerusalem to be precise, is the 'center' or highest point also i think the earth sits on legs like a table and we are the table surface i guess, the purpose of the legs is to cause earthquakes and present the earth to God like a model or something, huge angels might be in control of each leg: http://aycu33.webshots.com/image/49712/2001247284611158646_rs.jpg
