  1. My brother just showed me this and I was gonna post it. I had tears from laughing at this...
  2. Am I the only person who's never had a problem with IE? I've always ran IE and always will... :nod:
  3. Price reduced yet again to $11,800.
  4. Anthony is the biggest baller on CR... :nod:
  5. Yes, this is still for sale and you have a PM!
  6. How much do you guys have on the ground up there now?
  7. I really don't know how else to describe this, but I'm still laughing. Enjoy...
  8. Nope. 32 years old, married, multi-car discount, no points on my license. Heck, I haven't had any points on my license since I was 21. If I've said it once, I've said it a million times: 1. As a male, you are already screwed. Keep your nose clean. No more than 10 over the speed limit, don't drive like an idiot. 2. Don't drive anything decent until you are out of college and/or making some decent money. I'm sorry, but anyone paying more than $150 - $200 a month for insurance on a car is a sucker. I drove shit until I was about 22. Then my rates started coming down enough to where I could afford a decent car. At that point, it was $130 a month for a 1993 Cobra. And even that drove me crazy. Hence I only kept it for a few months. 3. Shop around for rates. Get on your parent's insurance if you can. And if you are military or directly related to a military member, get a policy with USAA. Twice for the hell of it I checked out rates from other companies. Both times when they asked me who my current company was and when I told them, they said this was a waste of my time, as no one beats USAA's rates. This isn't a slam toward you, but you thought I was 89, so I was just setting you straight. Just figured I'd give some good advice, as I've been in that position of trying to get insurance on a muscle car at that age... :nod:
  9. I can't believe I still have this thing. Price reduced to $12,500 now.
  10. Yup, that's when I started hanging out, too. Original member of CR, original member of COFBA, had my 2000 Formula WS6 when it all started, sold it back in July 2005. Raced it a few times on the street: Jeff's IROC, TurboTrio's Laser, Renner's 300ZX, a few others here and there. Broke the stock rear at Norwalk in late 2002, I think. Some of you might remember my Galaxie convertible I had as well. I sold it in 2004 to buy my '86 Mustang GT. :nod: I'm still working in IT as a software engineer, but I've managed to work my way up the chain a couple of levels. If I had to sum up my early CR experience, it would be in these two words: "Two weeks"...
  11. I pay $65 a month on my Cobra. Everything else is much cheaper... :nod:
  12. Exactly. I grew up in Rochester, NY. The winters here are cake compared to up there. I get a good laugh everytime they close schools here for like 3 inches of snow...
  13. Based on Greg's figures, I'm at 7% combined for the two vehicles I pay on (Cobra and Rainier), housing is right around 15%. Living below your means, FTW... :nod:
  14. LOL, my neighbor's daughter has that. He showed me one day and I was like http://www.wease.net/pics/erm-ah.gif

    LS1 owns me

    Actually, I didn't have Anthony's vast personal wealth to keep fixing my car everytime I broke it...
  16. Yeah, that seems about right. I've worked with some not so good ones (and some paper cert DBA's) who made about half of that and they were shit. I design better than they do, and I'm not a true DBA, but I know enough to be dangerous. I'm a software engineer first, I just happen to know/do a lot of other things. Best one I ever worked with was probably making $150K - $200K. If you don't mind the work, responsibility, and what it takes to be truly good at it, you'll do quite well for yourself. But it will take a good 10 years before you'd make that kind of money, because with that pay comes the experience you got in the meantime... :nod:
  17. Consoles suck. PC > * Like I said 2 years ago: Halo 2004 = Quake II 1997...
  18. Yeah, this is much more inline with what I've seen and worked with. FYI, any DBA I've ever worked with who was worth anything was paid 6 figures as a FTE or billed out at $100 an hour as a contractor... :nod:
  19. LOL, you've never met my wife. Many here on the board have. Ask Nitrousbird about her...
  20. I've never once needed a pass from the wife. Never will, either. She doesn't give a shit what I do, as long as I come home and do her...

    LS1 owns me

    Yeah, but at what cost? Reliability would have been much worse. Don't forget, my car can handle a lot more power without needing any kind of internal upgrades. And the money in my pocket that I saved wouldn't have been that much, when it's all said and done. Plus I got a warranty with my Cobra when I bought it. Which was still in effect with just the CAI and catback I had. I paid $22K for my Formula back in 2001, and $25K for my Cobra this year. Out of the box and modded, the Cobra is just a better car, in my opinion. If you can get over the little things people hate about the Mustang as opposed to the F-Body, like the shifter location and the (compared to the WS6) "normal" looks. Don't get me wrong, I loved my Formula. I was just ready to move on to something else. I also like how my car blends into traffic now. It looks just like every other Mustang, which I happen to like. Cops don't even notice me...

    LS1 owns me

    After owning an LS1 and now a Cobra I must say... You'll miss it. My Cobra is better on almost all facets than my LS1 ever was, except gas mileage. But who cares about that? Or maybe you won't miss it, I don't know. I happen to enjoy my 433 RWHP / 402 RWTQ with just a CAI and catback. But have fun with the LS1...
