  1. Upper righthand corner, took me awhile to find it too.
  2. http://www.popularmechanics.com/automotive/new_cars/4237945.html?series=19 Economy, green, longevity, power...all pluses (sp) for the diesel.
  3. I wonder if it is ethanol powered? (C2H5OH) Definatly could benifit from some fender flares and fatter/stickier tires. If you did race him I would request a 2 lane gap in between cars so that he MIGHT not sideswipe you off the line.
  4. http://www.videosift.com/video/Feb-20th-Lunar-Eclipse-Timelapse Nice quick video for everyone (myself included) that missed it.
  5. Buy it, use it as a tax write off, keep the graphics (not on the car) and sell it in a few years as a collectors item.
  6. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&viewitem=&item=260213483739 One of a kind. Only 2008 available in this color with a special graphics package. Sure would be nice to own. (The graphics can be seen in the last slide of the slideshow.)
  7. http://www.denlorstools.com/home/dt1/page_6807/honda_and_acura_timing_belt_helpful_tips.html That is a similar tool and it in use.
  8. Snap-On, MAC, etc. etc. etc. make a special tool to hold the pulley on most Honda/Acura vehicles. If you look at it and it looks like a socket then I have a tool that may be of some help. My dad had an Odyssey with 100k on it and even with this tool and a impact it wouldnt come off. We ended up towing it on a dolley to the shop half torn apart to heat the bolt and get it out. I would highly recommend a plan for worst case scenario to have the ability to access a good impact/air supply and if needed an oxy/acetelyne torch. If you need to borrow the tool let me know I am sure we can work out a place to meet or I can stop by and drop it off for awhile.
  9. They have a dealership in Dubai. It was also there for the Dubai Auto show. Looks like they did the 24 hr 200 mph at the Arizona proving grounds. http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/coupe/112_0410_exotic_coupe_comparison/field_of_dreams.html The Aero weighs 2850 or 2/3 of the Veyron 4158. I still think 103 ft. is pretty impressive for no ABS.
  10. The Veyron requires 31.4m to stop (103 ft) and that uses a rear wing turned 90 degrees vertical to aid it. I would say the same stopping distance without the wing in a similar car is PRETTY GOOD. I didn't say OH MY GOD IT STOPS IN 103 FEET!!!!! HOT ROD Solstice Corvette Z06 Carrera GT Enzo Murcielago Braking, 60-0: 95 110 101 106 110 Price and performance wise it falls right in between the Carrera GT and the Enzo. According to Edmunds a stock Sky takes 134 ft.
  11. TRC is on the wrong side of the country (not a problem with enough money) and only one time in the history of TRC have we allowed any type of high speed exhibition. It requires the rental of the entire high speed ring and special safety crews. That would mean being willing to pay more then Honda, the federal government, trucking companies, and anyone else that happens to be using that area COMBINED. Anything over 99mph is strictly prohibited without a full out exclusive purchase.
  12. They told me the same thing but I did some reasearch and found out my package was in Columbus off Roberts Rd. and could be picked up after a certain time (presumably when the trucks have returned for the day). I went down there and had my package the same day as the first attempted delivery.
  13. First you complain that it doesn't have that stuff and that the Veyron does then you say even worthless cars have that. Then you change your story to that is just a parts bin car and a ripoff profile. Two years in NASA Langley wind tunnel doesn't sound like a ripoff to me. Not to mention almost every supercar could be called a "ripoff" of a profile...it's called a wedge. Not to mention I cannot find anywhere that Bugatti took the time ti actually qualify for the world record under strict conditions unlike the Aero which has. It was even done on public roads not some perfect surface test track like all the Bugatti top speed runs.
  14. http://www.shelbysupercars.com/press.php Goes into detail about all the testing they have to meet including ALL DOT AND EPA compliance testing. Personally I would like ABS, Traction control, and Stability control but a 60-0 stopping distance of 103ft. is still pretty good.
  15. Audio/Video: Navigation System, 10-Speaker Premium Audio/CD/DVD System, 7.5" Video/DVD Screen, Automatic Back-Up Camera Standard EquipmentIncludes: Air Conditioning, Power Windows, Power Mirrors, Tilt-Steering, Cab-Controlled Front Air Lift Straight from Shelby's website. A/C, power everything, 10 speaker audio/video system and a back up camera makes for one hell of a tin can.
  16. We should end affirmative action no matter who wins. We need EQUAL treatment not special treatment. This should go across all lines race, sex, etc.
  17. Flag it for best of Craiglist
  18. It has nothing to do with Democrate/Republican/Libiterian/Green parties. It never once bashes Obama other then saying that NO ONE is representing the "Angry White Man". It even says that Republicans don't even like their parties candidate.
  19. Good Read. http://www.aspentimes.com/article/2008198091324
  20. I forget the guys s/n on here but, he has a flat black 240 with gold lettering (it's pictured in his sig). He knows and lives right by my friend John Hartman and he has those parts. I would call him but I lost his number. He had a turbo motor ready to go in his and then he totaled it. I sure he would sell those parts or the turbo motor setup if you wanted to do the swap and get more money out of your car.
  21. Was he a member on this board? Where did this happen at? My prayers go out to his family.

    The Lion's Den

    Wanna know something funny about that new law? I heard on the BLITZ that this pornstar was headlining at Columbus Gold. She said she had to wear little skin colored stickers over her nipples to prevent the "topless" part of the dance. YET, according to Columbus law a female could stand outside the club completely topless? Makes sense to me...NOT!

  24. I agree that it sounds like an impeller issue. Another way to check the head gasket would be to use a combustion gas detector. I know most home mechanics don't have one but, you might be able to find one to borrow on here. I have one out in Marysville if you are that way. All you do is let it warm up and open the thermostat then use the tester to check for combustion gas in the cooling system. Have you checked the cap? You said the system holds 13 psi but, does the cap. My father's truck keeps burping coolant into the resevoir and eventually emptying itself and it is just the cap. I finally went and bought one so hed quit buying more coolant.
