Yeah, the Zonda might be fast, but it looks like someone went through every concept car aimed at the ricers in the past ten years, chose out the most offensively nasty pieces, copied them out of carbon-fibre and cheap 70s pleather purses, then assembled it using only a sledgehammer and a drum-brake tool. Those HVAC vents look like they raided a salon hair-dryer chair. And where the hell did they get the old slot-machine grip on the E-brake from? That thing is as out of place as a Sikh at the RNC.

Looks like you spun em. Are there grooves one the outside, and are there still tabs?
-
Umm, half-and-half? No thank you. The only decent thing Pimp My Ride ever did was NOT do that half-and-half Escort. I don't care if he stuck in a roll-cage, it's still attached to a compromised body.

Is there a difference between 92 and 93/94 octane?
GonneVille replied to Buck531's topic in Passing Lane
Yeah, you should see a difference, IF you're getting real KR. If your torque management is pulling timing, it will show up under the KR meaurement for whatever reason. Also, is it constant when you're on the throttle, or is it something that appears and fades quickly? If running 94 doesn't fix it, run it by Dyno Brian. -
There's a Jeep-only yard out by Springfield, but I don't have any contact info for them. They are in the yellow pages though.

Yeah, that explains why the Cadillac Allante was such a terrific car. As for my own preferences: http://www.koenigsegg.com/cars_2_2.html Ferrari and Lambo can't hold a candle to these guys. Their third car broke the speed record, and every single moving part in the suspension is adjustable.

You know, I think...yes, yes, I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna break ranks and actually show a little human dignity here. Happy Birthday, Colleen, if you can get through four pages of this crap.

Ahh, you're no fun. Leghumpers are funny when they get cockblocked! I won't cockblock somebody if they're serious, but leghumpers are open season all year.
-
Wait, how am I a leghumper? I was distinctly playing the role of cockblocker there.

Is that like some kind of tampon/pontoon cross? Like, a vaginal flotation device? If so, I don't think they sell marine safety equipment there. Besides, I think a vaginal flotation device would be kind of counterproductive as a safety device. Although, it could be kind of fun to watch...

And this is WHY newbs don't welcome newbs... May the fail be with you...

BTW, no-one in their right mind can call me a yuppie...I'm a truck-driver by trade, and live in a medium-OK apartment complex, and drive a ten-year-old Buick. I hate going to WalMart because of the people I see there. White-trash, redneck dudes, and ugly, prematurely aged chicks with five kids that dress like wannabe gangstas-and/or-rednecks and sluts. WalMart is like the ultimate definition of everything LOW about America. Low-class people(not necessarily poor, just lacking class), buying horrible products from a massive, impersonal, community-wrecking corporation. And the people that WORK there are either indifferent, rude, or incompetent. Drewz2nr, no offense to your bro, he may be a good dude, but he works for and with a bunch of gobbling ass-hats.

Except that the unused power can't "go back to the device". The magnetic field uses the same amount of power whether it's used or not. So you'd either have to pay a lot of money to transmit power you don't use, or turn the device on and off whenever you use it. How is that more convenient than just plugging stuff in? Myself, I have the charger for my phone wrapped around my bedside lamp, and I use the phone as an alarm clock, so it's natural just to take five seconds and plug it in. The only possible apps for this are: Airports, but the magnetic field strength would have to be EXTENSIVELY tested to make sure it doesn't interfere with any equipment. Coffee shops, the only eating establishments where computer use is encouraged. And the only reasonable way to make money on it there is by using it to extend the amount of time a user can stay on your pay-for-it WiFi. The cubicle maze. Ok, yeah, there's a legitimate possibility here. A network of these in an office/cubicle floor would simplify power wiring tremendously, allowing companies with a free-flowing office philosophy(i.e. IT development companies) to further that goal, but only if the company commits to buying a lot of new equipment outfitted with the system. Most offices won't because they already distribute power conventionally. Also, you wouldn't want to have one of these anywhere near your server room. The drawback here is this, no matter what you do, this system simply can't be as efficient at transmitting power as copper and steel wiring.

x2 on this one. My Mom spends hours going through there every couple months. Not only will they have your wax string, but you should take a look at some of their plated wire. Great stuff for a lot of apps where you need cheap tying wire that won't corrode.
-
I'm allergic to make-up...no clown suits here. Besides, I'd never own a Ford product.
-
Yeah, well when you hit 18, and your girlfriend is still 17, you tend to want to know about this shit. Her Mom didn't like me at all and threatened to have me charged. I looked it up.
-
BTW, you'll never see cars powered by this. A magnetic field powerful enough to transmit that kind of power over long range would wreak havoc. This is going to be confined to small area and low-power applications like mobile electronics. Even then, I don't expect it to amount to anything more than a curiosity. Without a way to meter usage, it won't catch on with businesses, which means it won't be common in public places, which means there will be no point to building it in to products.
-
Yeah, if you're within two years of age. And even then, you can still get hit with Corrupting a Minor. It doesn't matter what the age of consent is, no matter what state you're in, no matter how enthusiastic the girl is, you can still catch SOME kind of charge if she's under 18.

Don't ever use a downtown meter with your plate hidden. 90% of plate tickets are written by parking enforcement cunts. Also, You guys with last gen Firebirds, and GTPs, and the like with pop-out covers for the plate recesses aren't the ones who should really be bitching. You guys don't have to drill fucking holes in your bumper to put the fucking plates on. BTW, for those mentioned above, just stick the plate on, and pop the cover over it when you feel the need to show off.
-
x2. Those motherfuckers took in a whole pile of stolen VETERANS GRAVE MARKERS. I've been tempted more than once to Molotov the place just to reduce the local crime rate.

You have just earned my everlasting enmity. Lucky bastard. http://gonneville.smugmug.com/photos/204101078_tGF5i-L.jpg

RESISTANCE IS... ...well...actually pretty easy....

Oh, kinda like the GNX is a hot-rodded Grandma Regal? Or the Superbird was a hotrodded Belvedere? Besides, what's wrong with hot-rodded grandma cars?:finger:
