Um, it's on sale at BestBuy for 499. That's cheaper than you can get through the partner program, and you'd still have to pay delivery.

That sounds dumb. I would rather tear down and build a motor that was still in one piece and save a ton of work.

Technically, intercooler is still cooling the air, but in those cases they are spraying something on the intercooler in order to make it cooler, which in turn cools the air inside. It could be sprayed with anything (CO2, O2, H2O, meth, washer fluid, etc), it doesn't have to be nitrous, in order to help remove the heat.

No, you would pour Mt Dew into the intake while trying to flex your one sleeveless arm and yelling, "DO THE DEW!"

Autoblog has a couple good galleries, and Loeb's car has been posted around a lot. Rhys's car is a rebodied 2006 Daytona Prototype and has a turbo Hyundai V6 (stroked to 4.1L) making 895 HP and is RWD. Loeb's car is an AWD 875 HP twin turbo 3.2L V6 Peugeot. (0-60 in 1.8 sec, 0-150 (top speed) in 7 sec)

Agreed. Reading that forum makes me cut myself.

Oooo, political meme's! My favorite. That's right, because Obama told the police to do this, and were at his immediate direction. Has he even made a statement about this incident? I think it's safe to say that this would have happened no matter who the president is at the time.

Not what I expected from a "Free: Organ" thread on CR...

The difference being Kimi is actually funny...and not French.

Loeb is an amazing driver and the outcome is not shocking, although his time is unreal. The biggest shock to me was I actually saw him crack a smile after winning.

Thanks for the advice. I've had my agents calling him for ~5 days and he won't answer his phone or return calls.

I'm honestly shocked that you were able to spend 4 hours going through a home during what was supposed to be a showing, not an inspection, and that the realtor with you was allowing you to go through everything to that extent. Taking the electrical panel cover off, or opening to furnace is well beyond what is acceptable at a showing. There's no need to go to a showing with a bag of tools. You are not under contract with that home owner so there's no liability for screwing something up, and you have no license to do that type of work. I'm all for do-it-yourselfer's, but you don't own the home and have no contract. I don't trust weekend handymen opening up my furnace and poking around when it's the safety of my family that could be on the line. Yes, the window had a hole put in it, he pulled the dryer out and possibly screwed up the vent, and for some reason he pulled the foam insulation off some of my hot water pipes. It pisses me off because these are beyond what's typical for a showing and now I'm worried about what else he did that I haven't discovered yet.

So you have done all of that during the initial showing, not after an offer was accepted and it was time for an inspection? It bothers me because during a home inspection I am allowed to be present or have a representative there in order to address issues that are found. I care because when I have 6 groups of people scheduled to go through my home that day that he is moving stuff around. I actually did not know this window was soft, but the night before it rained very heavily and a birds nest got swept away from somewhere and clogged my gutter, causing lots of water to run down this window just hours before. The window is in my bedroom and this is the first time I had heard water run down like that. I think this contributed to it being soft and I would fix it anyway. Up until a week ago I was going to live in my house forever. It was on the market for 48 hours and it sold.

I understand the need to view a home a second time, but they never mentioned the damage that was caused, or any other reason besides it's over-priced. The realtor then dug out a comp from over a year ago that was in awful shape and sold for 30k less than our list price, ignoring the 3 homes in the last two months that sold in 3 days at list price in my neighborhood. I have too, but it's all things on the surface. I have never felt the need to pull a clothes dryer out from under a countertop in order to look behind it. Or remove foam pipe insulation from my hot water line in the basement (which was also something I discovered the day after).

Why be open ended? I should point out that we are not under contract with his clients. Would that change your response? His clients viewed the home once and said they were very interested in making an offer and wanted to visit once more in the evening to write it up. After that my home is damaged, things are moved, and they suddenly think it's "over-priced" and don't want to make an offer. My feeling is that they used the second showing as a home inspection which is inappropriate.

This is the first post you've ever made that actually made me LOL.

Last week I put my house up for sale. On the first day it was listed one guy came to look at it twice. After the second showtime I returned home and they were still in the house. So I circled around the block and parked on a side street and could see them in my back yard with the realtor standing in my landscaping poking at my windows. They were in the house for an hour (for a 30 min scheduled showing) so I'm not sure what they were doing. I went to my back yard to find that he had pushed something into the wood window frame and made a large hole that now needs repaired. The wood may have been a little soft, but he would have needed to push pretty hard to cause this. I also found that he had pulled out my clothes dryer and possibly messed up the dryer vent. My issue is that this was a showing, not a home inspection, and now I'm afraid he did more that I have not found. He did not alert us to the damage he caused and many other people viewed the house after (under contract now). If damage is caused during a home inspection the buyer could be held responsible for repair, but during a showing is there any recourse? Is he allowed to do this?

That was all good advice, and I will add that if you know the sex of the baby you should start buying clothes out of season. i.e. Buy next years summer clothes in fall, winter in spring, etc. You get huge deals when the stores are clearing out last seasons clothes, and you know you're going to need them. Buy a good car seat and stay away from used ones. If they have been in an accident or are beyond a certain age you are supposed to throw them out. Not only do safety regulations and technology change, but plastic gets more brittle over time. Congrats and good luck!

Speeding tickets. Also, fixing shit that breaks on my house, for instance I have to tear down most of my basement and re-do it because the douche before me did such a poor job, and in the next 5 years it's going to need a new roof.

They went covert.

I heard they'll weld your drain plug in so you never need another oil change.

I heard he's growing organic cotton in his garden just to make himself pick it.

Only if you keep her.
