Trouble Maker

What snow? Are you smoking crack or something? Sorry, I’m just disgruntled about not having anything to ski on.

Today and tomorrow are industry days. I work in the industry.

Arguing about which side of town is better is dumb. Are you guys going to start shooting each other over which side of town is better? Even dumber, arguing about 'your' side of town being better when you live in an apartment (probably for one year, then you'll live in another part of town), or where your parents own a house.

I'm going tomorrow.

I’m having trouble being creative with a theme. I am going to the auto show with work tomorrow. The first half of the day we have to do some stuff that’s pre-asigned. The second half of the day we get to go look at whatever we want. The catch is we have to do some really simple report on it (not a chance in hell we could just look around for shits and giggles). So I’m trying to come up with some creative theme. Something based around brakes or casted aluminum parts would be ideal as that’s what our specialties are, but anything is ok. Any ideas?

I think maybe they had to drive back too.

Yeah, and last time I checked Michigan still sucked.

I knew someone would post this but I didn't feel like typing anymore when I typed that. I completely agree that Jason should have called and let them know and that is a very good business practice and how a place should be run. I think on the business side he completely dropped the ball on this one. If it were me, even if I didn't call to check, I would want some sort of compensation. On the other hand, the guys from Cleveland completely drooped the ball on the common sense side on this one. If it were me, I would have definitely called to check before wasting half of my day. Hell, I do that when I'm getting something worked on 20 minutes away and it's 'supposed' to be done. It wouldn't have been that hard for either side to pick up a phone and hit the key pad 10 little times. All's Jason not calling cost him was looking a little bad on here. The guys from Cleveland cost themselves, at least 20 bucks in gas, at least 10 in food, and however much 5 hours of their time and their frustration over the situation is worth. Considering that most people in Cleveland make 6.75 an hour, that comes to a grand total of about $100.

You mean you drove all of the way down to Columbus to pick up an engine that was supposed to be done but you didn't call to check? I think you are the ones that need flamed, but I think driving 5 hours instead of making a phone 30 second phone call, then being dumb enough to admit it to a bunch of people, is punishment enough.

Why should a company apologize for making a 'car' that they can't keep on the showroom floors?

Ok, I can believe all of those about Mr. T... but Vin Diesel, come on. Have you ever seen that guy 'run'? Vin Diesel!=bad ass

[beating a dead horse] You CAN NOT compare a used cars value to a new cars price!!11! [/beating a dead horse] Yeah, I think there is a better value in used car than new cars period. That’s why I bought my car three years old coming out of a lease a few months after the new body style came out. But if you want to compare something, compare apples to apples. How much is a Scion that is as old as the cars you guys are talking about? Note for anyone dumb enough to actually take that time to answer that question: It’s rhetorical On topic: I think they look decent stock, not my style, but they look ok. I have never sat in, ridden in, or driven one though.

I don't think it's that easy. IIRC somehow with the XBox being stock, the dvd-rom, hard drive, and mobo are ‘married’ to each other. If you want to replace one, you need to replace them all with a set from Microsoft. This cost more than a new XBox. You can mod the XBox and replace any of them as need/wanted. This could be wrong; it’s just what someone told me. Kind of makes sense, otherwise you would just be able to clone the HD and put a bigger/different one in there. As far as what's wrong with your unit DJ, I’m not sure. The dvd-rom would be my first guess too, but it's just a guess. I haven't had very much experience with working on any XBox’s.

Clapping anytime during a movie is fucking stupid. You can't and aren't interacting with what's going on. You clap when you are watching a live performance and you like something that has just happened.

I have the same problem using Firefox and I literally just started using it yesterday.

It doesn't look that bad in person. That is a really bad color on that car. I don't think these are supposed to compete with anything like the HHR or PT Cruiser. These (this and the Toyota Yaris) are supposed to be 'smart cars for America'.

I just got one. http://www.myspace.com/47696372

...see sig, that is all.

Unfortunately I've been too busy to catch any of it this year, the Ausie V8 series is a blast to watch too. You should check that out. They were still a much better channel before Fox bought them.

Ant=skinny fuck. Your waste is 4" smaller than mine now.

Awww shit bitch... http://img236.imageshack.us/img236/1016/nutsonclark2jp.png

I was going to say the same thing, down in Cancun. I bought one and my brother bought one. They are sitting at my parents house right now. Very cool to see in person.

Look at your 60 ft's and I'm going to assume your stock end ratio is lower (numerically) than that. That's probably 95% of where that difference is coming from.

If this is true, I'm assuming it will be at NAIAS. I'll have pictures of it next week for you guys. I'm still saying that if it's there, it will be purely a prototype market feeler. Maybe only close to looking like what it will actually look like.
