  1. Even if it where nailed into the walls you just putty them and primer them when you move out. They have to paint the whole place.
  2. No, first on the list of people he will blow his car up trying to race.
  3. Maybe to have both OS on one system. If it works this way, why couldn't it work the other way (cheap Macs!).
  4. That and anyone who would get a chance to drive the S4 would gladly drop $50k on that car if they had it/wanted to spend that much money on a car. I got to drive it in the snow the other day, at about 85. I can’t think of another new car for near that much money that I would consider over it.
  5. Haha, funny update. We came back up here last week, went back for the weekend. Came back again today. The lady at the desk noticed the name of the guy renting the car was the same as last time. She said she went out and looked at the car we damaged, and didn’t see anything so she threw the paperwork out. This is what the mirror looked like, which we specifically told them about. http://img203.imageshack.us/img203/531/dscn80868ov.jpg
  6. I thought the AEM couldn't do true wideband, just what I've been told. Guess you learn something new every day. It doesn't do any data-logging. That's almost pointless imho. The Innovative starts at $349+shipping and the Zietronix starts at $279+shipping for everything you need, directly from the companies (probably more expensive than IPS could get them, if they can), for comparison. Just saw that the Zeitronix needs a laptop to data-log. I guess that's the big difference between those two. You can use a laptop to data-log live from the Innovative, but it can data-log on it's own too. Mike, how's the car doing? Haven't heard much about it lately.
  7. You better talk to Chris about something that large.
  8. You'd usually put the wideband somewhere further down for easy access. Easier to get a pipe off to put a bung in (or do it while on the car), easier to take in and out (the sensor), easier to wire. Your car would still need the stock o2 sensor generally speaking. You'd just have the wideband in as a separate system that doesn't interact with your ECU at all, only to monitor the o2's while you are tuning, and maybe as a monitor while driving. The wideband would not provide the o2 sensor signal to your (stock) ecu. I've dealt with the Innovative and the Zentronix a little bit. I like both of thoes well enough that I'd buy one if/when I need one. I personally like the Innovative a little better, but a lot of people don't like the fact that the controller and display are one piece, and therefore a little bit big. The Innovative seems easier to use/setup and has more options for data logging other signals (with the addition of other pieces). You can check out both of them, what they can do or can't do, and the avaliable accessories at http://www.zeitronix.com and http://www.innovatemotorsports.com/ I'm sure there are other good options out there, these are just the two that I've heard good things about and have had some expierence with. The more important question is why do you feel you need a wideband? They are fairly expensive. I think it's always better to have one, but people have went pretty damn fast in DSM's without them. Your money might be better spent somewhere else. I'm not sure I'm completely 'qualified' to answer that question though, you might want to check out Columbus DSM, but I'm sure those guys will chime in here too.
  9. Yeah, what's the point of buying at a B&M (no, not the guys who make shifters) store if you don't get any service there? Might as well buy online for a lot less $$$.
  10. Glad I'm not the only one who thought that.
  11. Call me, I think my parents might have an extra old one. Who needs a sprint phone?
  12. Holly fuck someone buy that.
  13. Awwwwhttp://www.number1spot.com/images/skeet_skeet_skeet-studio.jpg
  14. As much as I would love that... frankly they don't have enough room for something that big, or get enough snow on a regular basis to maintain even a regular (14ish feet) pipe, let alone a Super Pipe. It also wouldn't make economical sense for them to spend the kind of money it cost to buy one of those machines that shapes/grooms a pipe. I'm sure those are a very high dollar item, even for a ski resort. We went to Snow Trails for a year or two in high school. They used to have a (very small) pipe, it was never open, and when it was, it wasn't really a pipe. Same thing would happen at MRM. If you are talking about the run to the right of the Sun Downer lift (Regulator), that used to be the terrain park, back before they had any rails. Then the moved the park over and figured out it wasn’t steep enough for any real jumps so they took them out and only have rails. I enjoy hitting the rails, but that place needs some (big) jumps. They should turn that run back into a terrain park with only jumps.
  15. You obviously know a lot about skiing/snowboarding if you think two fifty degree days are going to wipe out a ski ‘resorts’ base. Part of that 7 inches was ice when it fell, and the natural snow quickly turned to ice. That stuff stays around a lot longer than the inch of snow Columbus probably got. My point of that was the few spots that were starting to show some grass will be nice and covered now. Every single run at Mad River has been open this last few weeks despite the 40 degree days and almost constant rain. Actually I think the first or second warm day after it’s been cold is some of the best times to hit the hill. It’s warm enough to wear only a t-shirt, but the snow is usually still ok. You will just get wet if you fall very often. It is supposed to rain on Friday night, Saturday day though. Skiing in the rain sucks. No 300ft hill is going to have a top anything for ski resorts, including the park. Maybe 4th best in the east. No place without a Super Pipe is going to be considered a top park in this country, or ever host any big event.
  16. http://www.skimadriver.com Map http://www.skimadriver.com/trailmap.asp http://www.snowtrails.com Map http://www.snowtrails.com/images/stories/Stories/snowtrails_map%202005-06.jpg I prefer Mad River because of the layout, it is much easier to get around. I've never had to hike across the bottom of Mad River to get anywhere; I've definitely had to do that at Snow Trails. I don't mind hiking that much if I'm up on a mountain, but that's ridiculous to have to do at a 300' tall molehill in Ohio. Take a look at the trail maps on both sites and you'll see what I mean. Snow trails has a dedicated noob area that's probably better for people out on their first day (Possum/Bunny). It's much larger and a little steeper than the true bunny hill at Mad River. Mad river has a really small bunny hill, but it's useless to really learn on (Fanny Hill Beginner Area). The Fanny Hill Beginner Area also uses a towrope; I'm a 'beginner' snowboarder and fucking hate those things. I can ski up those things backwards, but I've been skiing for 10 years, I can't make it up them on a snowboard. Mad River also has easy runs that I would suggest people to start on instead of the beginner hill (Summit Trail, Family Comfort Zone, Sundowner, Valley View area), but the traffic is probably higher and harder to get around than on Snow Trails bunny hill. Anyways, if you have skied/snowboarded one day and need to go on any 'bunny hill' in Ohio, you should probably give up. Synopsis, if it is your first day and you will only stay on the bunny hill, Snow Trails might be better. If you've gone a few times, and can make your way around a decent amount of the hills, Mad River might be better. I say might because there's not that much of a difference between the two places as far as their terrain and how big/steep they are. I just think the overall layout of Snow Trials is horrible. Mad River also got 3 inches of natural snow, and made 4 inches last night. When I went to Mad River last weekend, some grass was starting to show in spots. I’m sure this new snow will take care of that.
  17. I'm seeing the pictures just fine. If Cleveland keeps going the way it has been, it will be a desolate wasteland in 20 years, much akin to Flint. I'm glad you enjoy living in near a city like that.
  18. You can't compare used care values to new.[/beating dead horse]
  19. My statement is what is somehow defined as a 'suburb' of Cleveland is moronic. There are towns two or three towns from Cleveland and half an hour drive that are considered suburbs. I don't care if that's how the census derives it or not. Suburbs of Columbus directly border the city. Post up some facts. I am. This should explain every reason why Columbus>Cleveland regardless of 'population' if you aren't a moron. That has obviously been in question since the day you were born so I'm not sure that these will help you at all. Average household income in Columbus in 1999. http://pics2.city-data.com/hin/16902.png Average household income in Cleveland in 1999. http://pics2.city-data.com/hin/16890.png The distribution in that graph is just mind-boggling. I bet there are second world countries that look about the same. On Topic. Wasn't someone saying the Hypereutectic pistons couldn't take any power in that car.
  20. The Russian Hack adds a soft button that says "Suck".
  21. Oh for fucks sake. You morons up near Cleveland consider something that's half an hour from the city a ‘near suburb’. That's why that number is so high. Suburbs of Columbus actually border Columbus. What a novel idea. Much more important is the fact that for the last two censuses the population of Cleveland and Cuyahoga county have drastically dropped. That city is going down the shit hole unless something changes. The real average income has continually dropped; the real average house price has continually dropped. Exactly opposite of what’s happened in Columbus. But oh no, your 'city' is 'bigger', it must be better. I wish I lived in Cleveland, it’s so much better than here. On topic. Holly fuck that was cool. Glad to see someone moding it like it should be moded.
  22. Joe only knows you (and I) aren't because he asked me on Sunday. He thought we might have been from that thread too.
  23. Wow, I just looked out of the window and the ground was covered. You should become a weather man.
  24. You're 18, you don't even know how to drink yet.
