I'm not sure I'm following you on this, Paul. QSL didn't plan and organize the event; it was set up by an individual (Anthony Stamm) working on the charity and he's being helped by friends in the G club, who hold a regular Friday night meet at QSL. He asked QSL and the club if he could do the show and they agreed.

 

I doubt that the organizer was hoping that a bunch of Pelotonia riders would bring cars out to a car show to raise money for Pelotonia. I think this is aimed at the car crowd who might want to donate to the charity but aren't necessarily involved in the charity in any other way.

 

If the weather's good, I would expect 30 cars or so. Even 10 cars raises money for Pelotonia, which is a good thing.

I always wondered why they are so many damn Infinity's there taking up all the good spaces on Friday nights.

Might be there weather pending.

PS - Where's the truck class?

Thanks Tim.

Exactly what he put, it's a 4-pin narrow RJ-11 type jack.

These have been sitting around the house for a while and i really don't have a vehicle to put them in so I've reluctantly decided to sell them. Both are no longer in production and imho, the end of an era for both companies.

First up is the Phoenix Gold Ti12D Elite. This is a monster sub and well known in the auto sound community, the last great product from a legendary company:

Subwoofer Size - 12" (41lbs.)

Peak Power Handling - 2000 watts

RMS Power Handling - 1000 watts

Voice Coil(s) - Dual

Impedance (Per Voice Coil4 ohms

Frequency Response20 - 80 Hz

Sensitivity - 86.18 dB

Xmax (millimeters) - 50.5 mm

Woofer Composition - Aluminum

Woofer Surround - Rubber

Recommended Enclosure Specifications

Top-Mount Depth - 10-1/2"

Cutout Diameter - 11-1/2"

It will go 4" peak-to-peak excursion and has been severely underrated at 1000W RMS, it doesn't come alive until you put at least 1500W to it, I've heard of people running 3000 all day long. I'll give a condition of 9/10 for age, it's never been abused and has mostly been powered by the amp below, it was briefly powered by a pair of PG ZPA's.

Next is the Soundstream LW1.2600d. This was the replacement for the great Rubicon Series, it's a little power hungry but it will put down it's rated power, unlike cheaper amps:

Twin Stack Technology (strap amps together for double power)

Direct Wire 0 ga. Power, 4 ga. Speaker Terminals (2600D)

RMS Power @ 2Ω, 14.4V 1,800

RMS Power @ 1Ω, 14.4V 2,600

Fusing 250

Frequency Response 15-150Hz

Bass Boost 0-18dB @ 45Hz

Subsonic Filter(12dB/octave) 10-40Hz

Again I'll do 9/10 basically for age and a couple marks from installation, but it's still glossy and looking good; guts are clean as well. This is for the amp ONLY, I don't have the little bass knob anymore, they're cheap anyway.

$250 Each

or

$450 Set + Small 1.0 cu. ft. Sealed Box.

Not exactly NW side but close. We use Complete Canine off Park near 23N.

We also have a dog that does not play well with others. Brad is the guy who owns the place and does behavioral management with the dogs as well as an obstacle course in the back; ideal for an aggressive dog. It's a small operation with fair prices.

Thurmans for sheer bulk of wing, they give you the entire "wing" with the little flapper connected to the end. But the sauce is reminiscent of Franks, which I think is blah.

For sauce, QS&L has the best sauces, but the wings are very small.

Like someone else said, QS&L sauce on Thurmans wings would be pure sex.

These things all piss me off. I especially hate the asshats that fly up on you when you're in the fast lane going over the speed limit, only to pass you, then slow down; and you seem to constantly play this game of tag with them.

I've also grown accustom to looking at the cars ahead of me before getting on the highway. If it's a minivan with the stupid 'stick family' stickers on it, or I see a blue flag hanging from the rear view, I bust my ass to get in front because I know anger is about to ensue.

I'd choose the V as well, actually I did. I test drove a G35. Major complaint I remember was the lack of visibility out the rear porthole, that's a small window. And the lack of major mod-ability.

The V was a good car, had a few electrical issues while owning it, nothing major. You WILL need a short shifter, the stock shifter is the slushiest piece of junk that should never have been put into a 'performance sedan'.

Presently going thru this same ordeal.

Get on the ODOT website and call the Title Department. Speak to one of the rude individuals and they'll give you an address to mail a letter to; no forms, no questions, just an open letter explaining the situation. You'll have to include VIN number, Driver's License number etc. or they'll throw it away.

Wait 2 months to receive a statement back saying you need to take legal action.

Then go to court. Which is the step I'm on and not sure where to proceed.

I just picked up a 900SE Turbo for $1800 with 93k on the clock. It's got a couple small issues like an exhaust leak, paint flaking and a missing moulding strip. I know I could patch it up and make a profit but I kinda like the little thing.

I've looked around and the parts aren't as bad as I thought they'd be for a Euro car and everything is so accessible, it seems easy to fix. Took 5min for new plugs.

And no I'm not talking about Red Lobster *ick*.

We're going to have a boil this weekend and a friend of mine ordered 20lbs. of crawdads overnight from down South. I'd like to pick up some shellfish but don't know of anywhere other than the usual Whole Foods, Earth Fare, Giant Eagle, etc.

A co-worker said some place called Franks Seafood is great but he said it's in a shady area.

Any suggestions?

Just this past October I used Uship, the one that has become famous from the show 'Shipping Wars'. I got a 1/2 ton truck from St. Louis for $325.

Other times I've used Able Auto I believe? It's been a while. Had an RX7 from Cali for $700 and another RX7 overnight from Alabama for $500.

I think HTC really hit a homerun with the One. The phone feels so solid and looks so good, the chassis and the screen. The sound production is awesome for a phone. It's just a breath of fresh air, especially seen next to Samsung's typical plastic fantastic, un-realistic AMOLED phone.

Plus the fact that just like their cars, Asian companies send us de-tuned products. If we got the Octa-core S4 it'd be a valid argument.

I was planning on getting the S4 until I held it and the One at the store. The problem for me with the One is the screen is a bit smaller than I want. I'm going to hold out for a while, I know the LG Optimus Pro is coming out in May, might check that out, it's a Note 2 contender.

Ha mine has a sportage awd. Does yours feel a bit slow?

It's not bad for a 4cyl SUV, but it gets cranky if you try and drive it hard. Trying to accelerate fast and a 1-2nd shift it bogs down pretty bad.

I've see a lot worse for a lot more!

How is the metal under the front foot area?

 

KillJoy

Soft On the driver's side. Might be taking offers on this POS.

Now that Winter has come and gone it's time to trade my Winter beater in for a more gas conscious vehicle.

It's a 1996 Jeep Cherokee Country, Dark Green Metallic with Matte black Hood and Roof and Black Wheels.

The Good: It's the 4.0 inline-6 and it only has 124k miles on it. So this thing has a LOT of life left. 4x4 seemed to work great during the snow. The electric windows/locks all seem to work fine. Fairly clean on the inside, small seam starting to come apart on the driver's seat bolster, but nothing terrible. It has a CD player and is pre-wired for audio. No leaks that I've seen. Was told this was a Southern car and there is no noticeable rust that I can see.

The Bad: The most obvious is the windshield, it didn't bother me too much, I know it's unsafe and whatnot but I drove it maybe 150mi since I bought it. I've had multiple quotes for around $200. The roof liner is missing, might be an easy fix if you know what you're doing, I don't have the patience. The Jeep does vibrate on the Highway above 60, although after I inflated all the tires to a more nominal pressure it got a lot better, so it might just need a wheel balance. Other than that there are a few dings and dents here or there.

It's not by any means a prom date, but it would make a fine 4x4 project or hunting vehicle.

Price is $1300 FIRM.

I might have a vehicle for sale. Depending on our snow forecast.

'96 Jeep Cherokee Country.

The good: 4.0 straight 6, 124k miles. not rusted, fairly 'clean' for the age. 4wd works. Electric windows/locks work. Wired for audio.

The bad: The windshield needs replaced ($200 quotes) I don't mind it but I guess you could be pulled over for it, doesn't have a headliner and vibrates a bit on the highway.

1300 Firm.

I'm in the same boat, I have a $15 flip phone for crying out loud. But hey, it's a good party phone, don't care if it gets tossed or falls in the toilet.

Anyways, for the question at hand I'd go for the GS3/Note2 personally. Like others have said, the iPhone is very simple to use, guess that's why both my parents have them, but to me it's difficult because it's so simple. I like freedom in my electronic devices and half the time I spend on an Apple is wondering why it's not letting me do certain tasks or trying to figure out how to do them only to find out that it won't let you.

If you aren't in a hurry I'd wait a few months. This year is going to be the year of 5" and above smart phones. LG has a 5.5" on the plate, the new Galaxy S4's are coming, Sony has a 5'er, there are a few Chinese brands that are in the mix (dunno if they'll come to America).

Also check out the HTC 'One' that is coming soon to most carriers, it's supposed to 'de-throne' the S3; Quad-core, 1080p, and a snazzy aluminum chassis.

Doesn't seem to be, the Sniper looks like a "theme" RAM, for those into case modding.

I've had nothing but great experiences with Ripjaws over the years.
