  1. You know, the little electric ones for home made clocks? Where can those be had localy?
  2. Contemporary Defense Finance = spend spend spend, without reguard for where the money will come from.
  3. +1 on AA. I know a couple people that it helped out quite a bit. Much better people now, and way better off.
  4. the illest flavor....ill like dissentary.
  5. Folks this aint for me, It's for Elena as a daily driver. As much as I do care about modability, I dont care about modability. Just looking for a 4 door car with enough qualites that its likeable...and wont break down alot.
  6. I had no idea my exhaust was carrying a charge. http://www.eautoworks.com/html/ORD-1-1-1-27026.cfm
  7. hotwheels are toys. Legos sell good too, do you want to drive big technic lego cars? How about Barbies RV?
  8. Hate to burst your bubble people, but the design is alomost 5 years old, and it what the GTO should have been: http://members.tripod.com/GRK_Taz/cars/l_pontiac_gto.jpgNeeds refined, but much less goofy. The Monaro should have been brought over as a Monaro. The GTO should have been that, seated on a C6 platform.
  9. The smaller mountain on either end (twin sisters peak) is the "joining point". Print that off, join it together as a loop, and you have a veiw to hang around your head.
  10. 360 deg from 12500' http://thewoodomain.net/files/11/longspan.JPG some passing clouds owned my lighting on a few of them.
  11. Wow automotive tastes are on the decline. That thing looks fucking rediculous. Nevermind anti-retro, it's proportioned like a fucking hotwheels car.
  12. That is everything everwhere always. If you look at the aerdynamic signature of your average speedboat, you'll find the drag coefficient is comperable, if not less, then you average drop top car. Moving through the air, that thing was a miata. Now, you have the hydrodynamic drag of the water, which is a significant force, yes. But when a boat like that is up to plane, it probably has about 6-10 square feet of contact with the water at most. The amount of drag on a boat at 16 is much less then a boat at 20. So wht is it that hatchabck festivas can hit 100 mph with 100 hp, but a boat like in the vid needs 500? Because boats are screwed, litteraly. You use hp much more efficiently when you're driving wheel. When you're putting it down through a pair of screws, inefficient isn't even the word. Put a diff and some wheels under that boat and it'll do way more then 100mph on the highway...if it dowsn't lift off the ground. You're speed on the water is reliant on your screw design and how fast you can spin it. If you have a singly drive, 3 screw tranny, you need a bunch of torque just o spin the gears and overcome the parasitic loss, hens to offerings that Joe mentioned. For something small like what is in the vid, the motor should have no trouble spinning a single, or even a double screw setup sufficiently. In reality we shouldn't even be attempting to discuss this untill we know what power the boat in the vid actualy makes, anf if its spinning a prop or jet drive.

  13. Home. Leave at 7am, you'll be there by 10:30. Stay at the show 6 hours, plenty of time, and be home by 8pm, including a dinner stop.
  14. No it looks like a cross between an A4 and a Silver Arrow. http://www.bavariaring.de/assets/images/Audi-10gsc-AUTypC-1937-2.jpg
  15. Were tehy both Yamaha motors? I gathered that parts would be expensive, they probably cant touch the benz parts, though. I'm more concerned about how often I'll have to buy said expensive parts.
  16. Sure, they both look good on paper, but those of you who've owned one, how have they treated you?
  17. The camera I have, older then I am, still takes professional quality pics. http://www.luminous-landscape.com/images-11/1976_ae1.jpg Fuck yo dijital.
  18. Science Abuse

    wow

    they shouldn't give stupid'anyone guns, can I get an Amentment? Must posses IQ of 120 or higher to own a firearm or operate a motor vehicle.
  19. For the first time, I actualy could see the likeness: http://thewoodomain.net/files/11/caymen904.jpg Guess I just had to see it in person. It'd still need some subtle rear aero to make it closer.
  20. The Auto Union is strong with this one: http://thewoodomain.net/files/11/autounion.jpg You can do retro without looking bad. you just have to have produced sexy cars in your past.
  21. That's why Retro is best left for customizers, not manufactures. thats an old Sema car
