  1. For the cars in the IS300/3-series/etc size range make sure they can fit car seats in the back. I don't know about those specific cars, but it was often a topic of discussion on the s4 board on audi world about which car seats could fit in the back. They were few and far between.
  2. Why'd you do that, I thought the Ford ECU was a great idea.
  3. 2JZ n' shit... waits for Howards head to explode.
  4. Says the man using a ford ECU in his chevy.
  5. Why would this be any different. Twin turbo v6?
  6. HOW in the fuck did you and your friends make it this far in life without doing something dumb to kill yourselves, like forgetting to breath?
  7. Plus uno. That's what I do. I was pissed when my old work laptop battery got bad enough that i couldn't even watch part of a movie on my plane rides. Got a new laptop a few months ago and the battery last forever. Can't wait to test it out on the next business trip.
  8. I think I heard someone in the crowd faint.
  9. Yup, we were a lot more sneaky when we did shit like this in college. :bangbang:
  10. Maybe GFS or that kitchen supply place down on west broad if those don't pan out.
  11. Never in person or a whole act, but I've seen clips like this. Suspension of disbelief is a little easier for me when they are in costume and the lights and sound are going. This guy is clearly a real person in this video which makes it hit more to home what they are able to do.
  12. Hmm, not sure what I'm doing for the game yet. Maybe, will probably at least try to swing by after the game.
  13. I kind of figured that. I and lots of other people I know have had really good luck with finding deals on waser & dryers on craigs list, so I figured I would throw it out there in case it hadn't crossed your mind.
  14. If you haven't already, check craig's list if you don't find anything here. We got our washer and dryer from someone on there for something like $140.
  15. Not sure exactly what color Jamie's car is, but it looks similar. That car could be an RSP (royal sapphire purple) car, and Jamie's color looks similar. http://www.twingles.com/ideck/supra/supraexterior_d.jpg
  16. So I can ski a little bit. I can bike a little bit. I watch this video and realize I don't have skills. I'm pretty sure you don't compared to this guy either. http://gizmodo.com/5404571/i-desperately-want-this-video-to-be-fake
  17. You really sound like you have enough sense sometimes to NOT be a Michigan fan.
  18. Really? Maybe there is no federally mandated requirement for such or standard test with the number/star put out by NHTSA or IIHS. I'm not sure on this either way, that's why I say maybe. That doesn't mean they don't take pedestrian crashes into account when designing the cars. Especially considering that most cars most makers make are sold in many places across the world, where other countries do already have requirements on vehicles for pedestrian crashes (I'm pretty sure Europe does). EDIT: Oh, you were talking specifically about GTR's. I get what you were saying now. I read that as a general statement. http://www.hondanews.com/categories/733/releases/5193 Pedestrian safety systems in cars are a great idea, some idiot might hit you or someone you love while you are walking one day and you'll be thankful that front of the car was designed with you in mind. I think Draco-Rex has the right idea, I bet those 'rams' pop up when a frontal impact like a pedestrian is detected and they act as shock absorbers if someone where to hit the hood, greatly slowing the deceleration of the object (body, head, etc) hitting the hood. That guy very probably got taken to the cleaners, or his insurance did. There are also mitigating factors in that price we don't know about. How much labor was involved with repairing those systems? Lots of times the ECU's for air bag systems (similar to this) are rated to be used once, or a set number of times due to the electrical stress on the 'firing' system. After that they will no longer operate, even if you replace the air bags (or in the case the 'rams'). In case anyone was wondering why the ECU needed replaced. We've all ran into cases where the manufacturer paid no attention to what it would cost or how much time it might take to service a system.

  20. Is his necklace made out of big paper clips?

  23. We found a really good deal on our current plac on craigs list with a private owner. Search for a google mashup too, not sure if they have on or not.
