  1. I know little about pros and cons of late-model Mustangs, but I'm looking at an SVT Cobra and wanted to know the differences between the '01 and "Terminator"-supercharged 'Stangs. If I was going to buy a Mustang, I would definitely want to get a Cobra. I wouldn't be drag-racing, so ultimate HP is not the goal. Looking for a good, long-life powertrain for highway/crusing that AT WORST would do some autocrossing. Eventually, it parts may get pulled, refreshed, and put into a Factory Five kit car down the road. The '01s are noticably cheaper than the '03-'04s. Anything I should watch out for on a 2001 Cobra?
  2. I like it! So does Jeremy Clarkson...that makes it alright! :thumbup:
  3. http://www.columbuscarsandcoffee.net 8am to 12pm - Cup O' Joe, Lennox Town Center Here's to better weather on Saturday morning! Pretty good turnout this past week, considering the OSU game and threat of rain...
  4. +1. Lakeview RV Park. Last summer I got my SCUBA open-water dives done there that is about 40ft deep. Doesn't sound like much, but there is a sunken Frito-Lay box truck, an old twin-engined Beechcraft (complete with skeleton in the pilot's seat), and power boat all lying at about 25-35ft depth. Two days' of diving and definitely had a lot of fun. I've heard Gilboa is another great dive quarry...

  6. That's only if you add a road extension going down to the bottom, with an arrow pointing to the "tunnel" :fuuuu:
  7. Yes. I see a lever like that on an interior panel, I assume it's for a window. Happy Labour Day.

    Socks

    I was lazy over the summer and would just keep my dress socks on from Church on Sunday morning for softball on Sunday afternoon. The ump one time said that I really need to wear athletic socks. I said :dumb: and he indicated some dress socks have a dye that can leach into your skin and cause medical problems; they aren't made for high-wear situations. I lost that game, freaked out I was getting testicular cancer from my fucking dress socks. Needless to say I wear white athletic socks now.
  9. Awesome upgrade!!! Many happy miles to you.
  10. I didn't know r107s had roll-down qtr windows?
  11. You guys missed the VW Fox Caddy, custom turbo'd, Renault-wheeled BAUCE! BTW, OSU traffic Sux.
  12. This thing is teats. :thumbup: http://www.autoblog.com/2012/08/31/vw-zombie-rabbit-is-focus-of-latest-depth-of-speed-vid/

  14. My older brother has an RS4 as well. LOVE IT! Enjoy what is - and will always be - an incredibly fun to drive (and rare!) car. Many happy miles to you!
  15. http://jalopnik.com/5938900/for-11500-grab-a-not-so-grand-national-cavalier I check NPOCP on Jalopnik almost every morning, and while this price is hitting the pipe pretty hard I appreciate the amount of work that went into making a pretty cool car. Love the stick shift on a Supercharged 3800. :thumbup:
  16. That was the most amazing thing I've seen this year. Looking forward to him wearing horn-rimmed glasses and drinking a PBR. Maybe Obama can stimulate the economy by opening up a food truck business, biking around D.C. on a "fixie" :masturboy: Reddit = intarnet = super srs bizness. It's important this be his focus. HAI IT WORKED FOR WOODY HARRELSON :dumb::dumb::dumb:

  18. I still can trust Brian. To re-center the LOL Thread EVERY TIME.
  19. http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=why-european-diesel-cars This talks about what hurdles exist in the U.S. for a more mass-acceptance of diesel cars, but still doesn't go into why Euro diesel cars aren't offered in the states... Just because I woudn't buy a diesel Malibu doesn't mean I don't want to see one being offered in the States to compete against Mercedes and VW for a midsize sedan with turbo-diesel power...
  20. Aside from still being Obama's bitch, GM sucks because of the Euro offerings that aren't available stateside: http://www.autoblog.com/2012/08/29/chevy-to-unveil-updated-spark-malibu-diesel-and-orlando-turbo-i/ If the Malibu's sales suck in the U.S., and the same model was developed to offer a diesel engine in Europe, would it REALLY be that much more to offer a diesel/stick shift in the U.S.? What would the Orlando cannibalize stateside that prevents Chevy from selling it here? Aside from fleet sales, do they REALLY make enough money by having so many different brands, platforms, and competing products globally? I like what Chevy has to offer...the only problem is they only offer it overseas. Meet "New" GM, same as the old GM. :thumbdown GM lovers, please opine with facts about the cost to have a diesel meet U.S. EPA regulations...I still can't see the harm in spending a couple more bucks to truly have a global powertrain platform. On the plus side, Chevy is going to sell the Colorado in the U.S... http://special-reports.pickuptrucks.com/2012/08/2012-global-pickup-shootout.html%20 ...and I still have love for Cadillac and the CTS-V.
