  1. Winner, the new car is taller than 40 inches, 44.3. I still cringe when I hear someone call the new car a "GT40".

     

    Top Gear viewers win again ;)

     

    They went into this on the Ford GT episode of Top Gear.

     

    Also, compared to other Le Mans cars, the Ford GT is really slow....

  2. Ok, so I figured I would get this out of the way and be as unbiased as possible....

     

    I saw it yesterday, for free mind you. Brenden (77nova) works at AMC Easton and got us tickets.

     

    Corolla fanatics, yes its in the movie, get ready to sell your cars for bagillions of dollars. Oh and by the way its refered to as a HACHIROKU (verse).

     

    The story was so-so, I probobly liked it because I am hardcore into japanese culture. Brenden said he didnt like it.

     

    The action scenes were good, and I dug all of the cars that had been converted to RWD like the Evo in it. Brenden agreed.

     

    What I didnt like: That poor Mustang at the end that they put an RB26 in, however they justify why they did it in the story. Brenden said it was a straight up sacreligious, which I would of too if they hadnt given any reason for having used it. I also didnt like what happened at the very end. If you see the movie, you will know what I am saying. I also didnt like the main character's accent, it got on your nerves quick.

     

    I guess what I am trying to say is, much to my own suprise, that this may be the first of the Fast and the Furious movies that was done right. They go into very technical stuff about drifting, even explaining clutch kicks, power over, and ebrake control.

     

    Oh and I was also very happy to see that the Drift King himself, Keiichi Tsuchiya, is in the movie as a fisherman who critiques the main character's driving.

  3. I would 100% expect it to look better on a PC. I might try it out sometime. WoW seems to have taken over any PC gaming time I have tho.

     

    +6, I like playing console games that are meant to be console games, hitman is meant for PC.

     

    Also, it will look 6000 times better on a PC than it ever will on an Xbox.

  4. You can make your own omnidirectional wireless antennas for cheap. Ive been working on a directional one made from an old DirecTV dish. I hope to get it completed so I can find a nice high parking garage downtown and test it out ;)
  5. First things first, LAPtop.

     

    Second, BETHEL road.

     

    Third, IBM's used equipment page is where I got my laptop. Thinkpad R40 for $500 even. The only things wrong with these are usually minor dinks and scratches.

  6. What the hell happened to that BMW? My buddy and I were standing there going "WTF?????".

     

    It was a good day though, I left when it started to rain.

     

    Edit: Oh and my buddy who you always see me crew for said that he was going to let me Autocross his Fiero, so I may be competeing before the end of the year :)
