Now you're embarrassed about the shit that got you banned from another forum so you're trying to deflect. That shit won't go over here. And in the post above this one you insult the collective intelligence of CR? Good job.
The shit that I read on Jeeps Unlimited really pissed me off. It's part of the reason I don't like you, the stuff I read on other forums.
I am not trying to deflect anything. You have a real hard on for me and honestly outside of your casual jabs here I could give a lesser fuck about you. Jeeps Unlimited? you are pissed off about reading about my rear axle troubles in my 1995 YJ from 10 years ago?
ya know, internet stalking is considered harassing behavior. So it posting crap about me in other threads where I haven't even commented. I mean do you understand that this is becoming kind of an unhealthy obsession for you?
and you an I both know there are actually intelligent and cultured people on this site and in person they are quite lovely and most of them actually don't post that much or at all because the culture here sucks, mostly due to trolls like you.
Here is what I suggest. Go take a nap. have a drink. find another outlet for your frustrations. you have derailed this way to far and honestly everybody gets it. you don't like me. I don't think you can impress that anymore on anybody else. But your last several attempts to get me banned haven't worked for you and even if it is successful what have you gained? you worked so hard and spent so many hours toiling over a person you never met. good productive use of your time.

Damn near everything you say is offensive to someone intelligent and cultured, Newman.
there are intelligent and cultured people on this site? that I would love to see.
actually, you were one of the people when I first joined that I liked a lot of what you said and was disappointed at how much shit you got for it.
It's a shame that you and I don't seem to see eye to eye but then again I do make sport out of Mensan and his little crusade against me and that tends to draw out some ugly things.
Again, you guys are reaching so far you might sprain yourselves.
Just to be clear:
I know what the fuck you meant. Don't do it againThis is an open threat. This is no other way to take that. Considering you are not a mod I am just wondering wat it is exactly you are threatening me with? mod reporting? I think Mensan has that covered, I could comment on the sky and he would report me for being discriminatory to the ground. Come to my house and Kill me? could be seen that way given it's open nature and the general level of conversation on this board. how about we all just chill the fuck out?

He posted some racist shit on other forums too. I wouldn't be surprised if he were banned soon, possibly over this. I reported his post.
racist? hardly. and I see you are back to internet stalking again. Good for you. Coping with the divorce that well are you?

maybe not identical but it's a lot of the same concepts: 2wd, mud tires, and not lifted to the sky. if that dodge was built 10 or 20 years ago the same way I think they would just call it a mild prerunner.

needs more rally lights.
Didn't we used to call this setup "street legal stadium truck"? and before that "prerunner"?

I know what the fuck you meant. Don't do it again, Nedry.
or what?
I think you are trying to find offense for something that is not there.

The more you post, the more I want to put stickers on my car for Asperger's awareness.
People should know about your illness so sticker the thing up.

What was the pressure when you turned the key but didn't start the car? Should be between 35-45psi

Make another black joke...I fucking dare you.

People enjoy things differently, especially subjective material.
I almost feel I need to repeat it, as you probably won't understand anything beyond your own narrow, narcissistic viewpoint.
Movie has been on DVD for almost a year now, yet you expect every one else to be sensitive to your viewing habits and lack of common sense. Since "spoilers" are an equally objective thing how about you just not click on the link discussing the movie you want to see until you have seen it. I mean it's not rocket science here, that way the rest of us can have a good discussion and your precious viewing habits remain intact.

I have a fuel pressure tester if you want to check it. Come by and I will hook it up.
Misfires on old jeeps tend to be one of four things:
1) bad cam sensor inside the distributor
2) bad throttle position sensor
3) bad coil
4) clogged injectors.

You're a raging douchebag, therefore your opinion means nil. To me, and many others.
hello pot? This is kettle......
It's a movie, if you can't appreciate a movie because you know some small detail that happens in the beginning maybe you should go take up another hobby that is less intellectually taxing. It had really good cinematography, heavy handed use of blue filters, excellent performances, half way decent writing, and was light on the genre cliches. The story, including the dog, is actually the weakest part of the movie although it was pretty solid. It feels a lot like payback, the Mel Gibson version, although payback was a more clever and character rich movie.
No clay, the dog is a minor character and at most a partial catalyst. It's so thin they kind of have to remind you through out the movie that this is kinda sorta about the dog so as to keep continuity. The dog was a cheap trick to get you to instantly hate the bad guys and root for Keanu without you making cheap bill and Ted/matrix jokes and it had to be graphic because that is kind of a tall order in itself.

Above that post, maybe you should put SPOILER ALERT.
It's in the first 15min of the movie and the performances sell it more than the words. I think part of it was in the trailer, He didn't spoil anything of note.
The movie was kind of awesome, lots of car eye candy as well but disappointed that there wasn't a muscle car chase scene since a few make some great appearances. There is a car chase scene and it's pretty violent and fantastic but I kinda wish they had put some of the old stuff through its paces.

Does anyone remember that movie on the Bradley with Carey Ewes (I think that's him)? He played a Air Force officer that was overseeing the M2 project. Holy fuck, military be dumb...speaking as a MSgt in the air guard.
you mean Hot Shots!?
just kidding. The pentagon wars, right? it was an HBO movie. Funny flick.

+1 fucking thousand.
The less "Geneva Convention" matters in modern warfare, the more I want new tech put on A-10 Warthogs for close combat support.
Next up, I want a turret-mounted rail-gun, mounted on the side of the airframe and operated remotely. A-10 goes all BRRRRRRRP on heavy equipment, then loiters around a hot zone, with a gunner firing at smaller targets using a "drone-like" interface at a remote command post.
The military rarely makes wise decisions when it comes to their equipment. Since we are talking about the A-10 let's talk about the competitor CAS aircraft based on an aviation legend that never made superceeded or replaced the A10 even though it had two chances to. the Piper PA-48 Enforcer
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piper_PA-48_Enforcer
the A1 Skyraider was the Close Air Support predecessor to the A-10 but was really WWII tech aging out of the fray fast. While the A-10 was being considered at the same time David Lindsey of Cavalier aircraft was pitching a repowered Turboprop P51 Mustang II called the Cavalier Turbo Mustang III. The advantage was an operating cost below any jet aircraft being considered. Lacking the political clout to pull of a sale to the gov't, David sold the concept to Piper who in 1970 made a full court press to sell it as a CAS in direct competition to the a10. The A-10 won and began operations in 1972. Piper continued to lobby for re-evaluation all the way until 1984 and in 1984 when production of the A-10 ended they launched another full court press to try and pitch it as a CAS aircraft. The Air Force didn't bite. If you want to see one of these retooled P51's there is one at Dayton, It's pretty neat except by the time Piper was done the plane was only 10% p-51.

There is no value in purchasing a new EV or hybrid. The technology moves too fast and you have to claim the tax incentives on your taxes at the end of the year. There is plenty of incentive to lease one because a) the tech moves too fast, b) you can claim the incentives immediately at signing and it lowers the monthly price, c) the cost savings in operating cost can offset the monthly payment by a significant amount, d) the cost of any out of pocket past warranty repair to the battery or drive system is huge so there is no value to have one out of warranty. The volt battery alone is now at $2300, it used to be $5K.
my father was seeing between 40 and 60 miles out of a charge between his two cars. Actually with each software update his range drops a little. Then again he is almost hypermiling now in the way he drives. He isn't over-inflating his tires with nitrogen or anything but it has become a video game of keeping the green efficiency ball in the green at all times.
The volt will automatically start the engine occasionally to keep things running even if you are only using battery charge to move the car, it is part of the programming. However, it uses very little fuel to do this. Dad puts fuel stabilizer in his. he fills it anytime it hits half a tank and that's still at least a month or two between fill-ups.

If the car is Uber approved,
How do you find out if a car can be uber approved? In NY it's easy - they all have to be "livery" cars so 2011 or newer if getting new tags or 2009 and newer if operating on existing livery tags. P2P in ohio doesn't seem to have any vehicle requirements other than a 3rd party safery inspection and I couldn't find anything about UBER's requirements on their site. Do you have a link? Can you talk about what the approval process was like?
you can setup deals outside of the Uber system, schedule a pickup then use the uber system when you pick them up to cover insurance and billing. I do this for friends or people I have met through Uber for Airport service. I drop my little brother off every Monday at 5am at the airport who lives with me, he loads up Uber that way IBM is paying me but Uber gets 20%.See that is the rub because I was thinking about using UBER as a lead generator for the ride, not just the payment and processing. If it was setting up before hand I could just get the P2P license and not have to pay uber any money at all but then it becomes a full time job lead generating.
Thanks for the info though.

In states that do emissions testing, AWD vehicles cannot be tested obviously and they submit to a "readiness test". The car has a set of internal routines (catalyst temperature within xxx time etc) that are scanned using ODB2.
In NY, for OBD2 vehicles that is true. If your vehicle was OBD1 (like an old subaru) it used to be you had to find a shop with an AWD dyno, but eventually they started giving them an "low enhanced emissions inspection" because nobody had one. most of the OBD1 vehicles are aging out of the testing population, 25 years old is the cutoff.
What is a Low enhanced emissions inspection? If you vehicle is between 20 and 25 years old and made with the following equipment from the factory each item is visually checked to make sure it is present and working:
Functional gas cap.
Catalytic converter.
Exhaust gas recirculation valve.
Positive crankcase ventilation system.
Air injection system.
Evaporative emissions control.
Fuel inlet restrictor.
Thermostatic air cleaner .
you can stop laughing now.

So I had this thought the other day.....
I know there have been some interesting uber rides recently like people giving rides in exotic sports cars and such - is there anyway someone can use uber to do classic car rides or wedding hires?
I heard recently about two different weddings where the parties used uber to get their wedding party to and from the event and that got me thinking....say you had something like an old rolls or jaguar, could you use uber as a way of getting bookings for people's events like weddings, etc?
I know Uber was supposed to be doing something like Luxe for specialty cars which is how you get around the year and door restrictions but never heard if they rolled it out or not.
just thinking out loud here - now que the endless stream of CR wonks who are going to tell me it's a bad idea even though they have never tried it.

I like the Volt, but I'm not willing to pay for one. It gets a little more affordable and I'll have one. I hope they ard our future, save the gas for the toys.
If you have the specific set of circumstances that maximizes their usefulness they really are great. My father is on his second one and hasn't had a single issue with each, except for where my mother hit a curb at 50mph recently and they may total his new one for suspension damage. He can plug in at work and home, and his commute never exceeds the battery range. He went almost 6 months without ever having to put actual fuel in the thing which worked great.
I borrowed it a couple of times and it didn't work for me when I was living in brooklyn because I had no place to plug in at home or work and when you aren't using the electric charge it's just a very heavy compact car that gets only average gas mileage. I will say that the low centrally mounted battery pack makes the thing really tossable and fun to drive but a wrx or gti it is not.
I will say that trunk swallowed my giant scale Ryan STA R/C plane (wings off obviously) with 3 people so it has some cargo loading. I mean I wouldn't put a transmission or engine block into it for fear of ruining the carpet but it could probably hold it.

My experience working at Nissan.
that will do it. Was it just cheap components? half baked electicals? user error? or all of the above?
not calling into question your credibility, just asking for specifics that would make it a big steamy pile. I now know three people who have one, one of them on his second one and none of them have had any problems.....but they are all IT people so...

Leafs are large piles of shit....
based on what?

LI still has a high cost of living unless you get deep into Suffolk county territory (e.g. mastic beach). $120K a year out there is just middle middle class.
As a long island native (2 years of high school in nassau county and technically Queens is part of the island even if it is NYC) I can tell you it is a lot of fun and way more culture. Plus Englishtown and Atco drag strips are close enough (westhampton was my home track but it's long gone now). Scott Schafiroff and Jack Merkel's shops are on long island so it isn't like there is no drag racing community.
If you are single, don't have kids, and have no ties - go live on the island for a year and see if you can swing it. Might just be fun. Sometimes you have to be flexible with your living arrangements to get ahead (says the native NYer who came to Columbus just for a job and a foot in the door at a company that is primarily based in NY).

FWIW emissions testing in NY had to be done with a dyno for years. Any certified shop could do the test as long as they had the dyno. It was a specific map that you drove. Many shops got really good at cheating cars past the NY emissions tests by tuning for the test. As far as I know nobody ever got caught doing this and there were some carb'ed cars that would have never passed without some work. You tune for the test, you pass the test, you reset the tune, and charge the customer 1 hour labor plus the state fee.
But VW does it at a mfg level - and it's $18B. Lolz.
This country has no idea how to handle vehicle emissions at a federal or state level. At least we can blame the republicans for creating the clusterfuck at the federal level.

yes they would magically invent that term that was coined last week 10 years ago just because of this truck. lol.
I'm not saying I don't like it, I do. It's just a new name for something that's been around for a while is all, plus I like it better when it actually ties better to racing - because racing makes everything better.
