  1. The poppet valves leak, and can leak anywhere into the manifold (they dry out, harden, then leak). Super common problem. Otherwise, it's a pretty common motor (excluding the OBD 1.5 stuff, which aren't better, just a PITA to find parts for).
  2. Yeah, it's fucked up how many people get kicked out because they aren't paying for their home, then trash the place. POS people.
  3. We just got married in Sept., both claim single, and have 2 mortgages and two sets of property tax to claim, so I am guessing our return is going to be VERY VERY nice. Probably put it towards a downpayment on our next home after we get our condo sold.
  4. Most of the online rips just aren't the quality I want, either overly or poorly compressed, dts tracks missing, no menu's, different movie than listed, etc. I'd far rather just burn the stuff the way I want it.
  5. Try not fucking whores and finding someone with some substance. Strippers aren't women with substance. Most are coke whores, ALL are messed up in some significant way.
  6. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonoma_GT FYI, the CPI motor DOES NOT share the internals with the LB4 Sy/Ty motor. Many of the externals are different too. CPI is known to internally leak too. Most powerful of the N/A 4.3L's, but also the least reliable. I've owned a OBD-I and...fairly rare I sadly found out, OBD-1.5 version.
  7. This isn't a new problem. For the past 3 months, they have been slow to send items. I found out that if the top of your list has short wait (or longer), they use it as an excuse to delay sending the next DVD's, regardless of how many available items are in your que. Well how in the fuck are you supposed to ever get those items that are a wait if you have them at the bottom of your que. This never used to be the case; I used to keep all my wait stuff at the top; if they didn't have the item, they simply went to the next available. No biggie. Now, the policy is different.
  8. That's why my wife and I bought our places that we could easily afford. Now I have the place I bought rented out, so I break even on that, and once we get our condo sold, we will be in the market for another house. This is the time to BUY BUY BUY. We just can't decide on the price range though. I know I want at least a 3 car garage, 1+ acres, fairly modern build, 2200+ sq ft (it's only the two of us, so don't really "need" more than that), full basement we can finish into a theater room. I think she wants a big master suite and BIG closet, and at least 3 bedrooms/2.5 baths. North Franklin/South Delaware area. Haven't found anything yet that hasn't been a rip-off.
  9. Sorry to hear this, that really sucks.
  10. I've been having the same problems. I'm about ready to switch to Netflix. Since I moved, the Blockbuster store isn't as convienent to get to (which is why I got rid of my 5 store rentals/month), so Netflix is about to get a customer.
  11. There were some leg injuries...I'm sure nothing too serious. From what I heard, only one engine failed, but I was under the impression most planes could still sustain flight w/ one engine (obviously the other under a lot more throttle).
  12. Guy got what he deserved IMO. It's not like they scammed some old people or something.
  13. I don't get why people do that to their dogs.
  14. Socialize her well and early with a lot of different dogs. Huskys tend to love all people, but not other animals (excluding the ones they were raised with).
  15. But 1080i > 720p. You you need a 1080i or p TV to view 1080i without the TV downscaling. IMO, anything 42" up needs to be 1080i/p
  16. Anyone who doesn't like the Transformers movie is an asshole. That's a fact, not opinion. Blade is also a good movie to test surround sound.
  17. Too bad it isn't for the Wii. Otherwise, I'd buy it and sell for a profit on E-bay.
  18. Now listed on E-bay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=200297895498&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT&ih=010 It is the cheapest overall Buy It Now on E-bay, so should be the first to sell for those not wanting to deal with auction BS. I will still end my auction early to Cols Racing people for $25.
  19. Harbor Freight. I got a pair cheap there.
  20. I'm thinking about doing an upgrade to my PC, on a semi-budget. The motherboard HAS to have the following (like my current one): - Two PCI-E slots, as I run two video cards - 4 SATA and 4 SATA Raid slots. - One IDE slot at least (though this I might excuse, as I could replace my one IDE device) - Accepts a quad core intel chip - Must be a good overclocking board. - Chip: quad core, intel based. I am currently running an overclocked AMD Athlon 64 X2 dual core 4800+. I've been noticing that with a number of things I do, I am really maxing out this processor. I'm going to start burning Blu Ray soon, and I think this is really going to become a bigger issue at that point. I'm not a PC gamer, so my two XFX 7600GT XXX edition cards work just fine. I'd like to keep the mobo/chip combo in the under $300 price range. I'm torn on the ram side of it; DDR2 is so cheap, but if buying a new setup, I should probably go DDR3.
  21. Really; I am a 3 minute walk from the boat house. Will have to go snooping around and check that out.
  22. That's why the NHRA has safety rules to prevent such things. Trans shield or blanket should have been on that thing. What a freaking mess!
  23. Picture 15 is my favorite. A cruise is a must-do item. They can be had on the cheap too. I went on one about a year ago; got a decent room for about $380/each for my g/f (now wife) and I for 5 nights. Spent another $250 on the boat. We drove down to FL to get on there, as we visted a friend down there for a few days before the cruise. Awesome food, tons of stuff to do. We his the sushi bar every night before dinner; that was great! You have to go on there planning to pack on a couple of pounds. We went to Key West, which was awesome since we knew someone there and got the local tour. Also went to Nassau, which kind of sucked. The boat was awesome enough to hang out on; I'd do a cheap cruise to no where even!
