  1. Even worse, why is there braille on MOST ATMs when they do not have voice prompts? Do you really expect the guy to be able to guess which button means "No, I do not want another transaction." ?
  2. I lived there for a while growing up too... where are you from?
  3. I'm not really looking to trade... but I will consider a trade.
  4. Okay, folks.... had a buyer, but the kid's dad decided the car would get him in trouble, so here goes. 1990 Ford Probe GT Red/Red interior 173,XXX miles 5 speed Power windows/door locks Pop up/removable sunroof Body is clean and rust free, paint in good shape except for small spot on hood I'll elaborate on later, interior also in nice shape considering its age. Turbo spools properly, and it runs very strong. I've been commuting in it for the last few weeks, it's a fun little beater. It's not perfect, however... these are the things it needs that I know of: Tires Exhaust manifold gasket (Common problem for these cars, it shuts up when it gets warm) Power window on passenger side works, but goes up & down cockeyed... (I haven't bothered trying to figure out what's wrong with it.) The muffler has a small hole in it, and isn't loud; but the hanger for it rattles when you start the car, and it's annoying as hell. Heat shield for the manifold/turbo - it's apparently been missing for some time; it needs replaced not only because it burnt a small section of paint on the hood, but because it torches a set of plug wires about once a month. smile.gif New: Battery Spark plugs Wires (twice) Oil change 500 miles ago with Castrol Syntec It will have new belts tomorrow, because the alternator belt was pretty nasty when I got it, and it's down to two ribs at the moment... needs done. Pioneer remote control detachable face CD player... animated graphic display; don't ask, all I know is how to turn it on and stick a CD in it. That's it. I think I've made it sound worse than it is.... it's really a very nice car as far as these go... most of them are junk. Asking $1100 obo, price is pretty negotiable; trades considered. Buckeye has dibs on it though; if he doesn't want it, other offers will be entertained. smile.gif I'll post pics when I get home from work tomorrow. [ 25.

  5. Excellent idea, but it's flawed. Should they suspect it's you, and the powers that be are able to prove it, they can charge you with mail fraud. They tried that about 12 years ago with me, I did it to a guy I went to school with. All of those "Bill me later" magazine subscriptions kicked ass. Had I not been 14 at the time, I might've been in some trouble; as it stood, 90 hours of community service was all I got. smile.gif
  6. My buddy has a godawful Dukes of Hazzard orange '79 Ram.. I'm sure he wouldn't mind helping out. The Sundance might be eligible too, with its mismatched fender. Let me know, and I'll renew its registration so you can park it there. smile.gif I hate busybody neighbors too...
  7. If it is, whoever did it is *really* good. Look closely at the reflection in the quarter panel of the station wagon next to it....
  8. Best ownage ever: Type in "balls"
  9. HAHAHAHA!! I was just playing around with that... the command "Get naked" is pretty funny... try it. (although the bouncer sucks. smile.gif )
  10. Now it's from "Here comes the hotstepper" by Ini Kamoze.... as disturbing as it is that I know that, what do I win? smile.gif
  11. I would consider him an option. I'm from NYC, and I know this man to have strong convictions and integrity; things our current President does not have a clue about. (IMHO) Despite the fact that I am a Democrat, I think he's an excellent candidate. As for him winning by a landslide, you're right; but only because this country is too goddamn closed-minded to vote a woman with the aforementioned qualities into office, no matter how right she is for the job.
  12. Now taking bets on any network station with the guts to predict Florida... smile.gif
  13. A new car, available at a Chevy dealer, with a warranty, $145K, will put a serious hurt on a Hennesey Viper that costs more... doesn't sound like a bad deal to me. Of course, I don't have anywhere near the capital required to purchase one... smile.gif
  14. 255,000 miles on a 92 Nissan 4X4... after that, it took the following to kill it: 1) Go four wheeling a quart low on oil 2) Go four wheeling with a leaking radiator 3) Roll the truck on its side, (While four wheeling) submerging it in water. 4) Debate on swimming back in to shut it off, because no oil is pumping through it while on its side. 5) Decide against it for fear of hydrolocking the engine. 6) Drive home. 7) Drive another 1000 miles without adding oil. 8) Notice rod knock, ever so faint. 9) Add two quarts of Lucas. 10) Run its guts out for overheating. (It did it to be spiteful smile.gif ) 11) Laugh. Repeat steps 9 - 11 until putting a rod through the oil pan. Nissan > * IMHO
  15. Someone on that site has an unhealthy obsession with that Christina chick...
  16. I think it was being towed by GM because its dirt adhesion test results are being evaluated. smile.gif No, seriously... that sucks, man. Sorry that happened to you, regardless of what you were doing. Young guy + Corvette = Police hard-on when you're doing anything wrong. You've got to learn to drive like your grandpa if you want to own a car like that. What you can get away with in your mom's Taurus doesn't work in your 'Vette.
  17. Warning: The following post is written in true Corvette asshole owner fashion. Reader discretion is advised. C6 @ $43,000 > That Saleen @ $45,000(Although it's not bad looking; something I didn't think was possible with the '05s) Make that car $39,995 and Saleen is the winnar. That is all. smile.gif
  18. Depends on the temp outside. 13-14 degrees initial timing works well if memory serves me correctly; however, you lose your ability to run 87 octane.
  19. Fuel pump relay... what year 'Vette are you working on?
