  1. Why do I feel like I would have kicked someones ass?
  2. So my sister has a HUGE problem and Im looking to see if the huge expanse of knowledge and talent that CR has to offer, can come through for me this time. Here's the problem... The hard drive in here computer is broken. its not corrupted, not demagnetized, that swing arm inside of the unit itself is broken. She has EVERYTHING to do with here business on there, all of her photos, music, everything. Someone quoted her $2400 to fix it by opening up the case in a clean room, removing the disk drive and swapping it into a unit that did work... is this the fuckin deal or what? Is there someone out there, that can do this, that would help a brother out... I know that someone out there does this kind of stuff but I cant remember who... The main things she wants back, is her business files, and her photos... the rest she doesn't really care if its lost... not as important. All I know is that the HDD is a Western Digital 250GB... any ideas?

    Torco

    I know that station south east of Trials used to sell Sunoco race fuel... dunno if they do any more though.
  4. You need to get rid of the bananaramadingdongcockblockmobile and put whatever building in a FC.
  5. Thorn, get in touch with my sister for website design... http://www.boscstudio.com This is what she does for a living... and shes pretty damn good. And if you want to get the name out to businesses... PIZZA DELIVERY Do you have any idea how many coupon toppers go out the door of a good pizza delivery shop? My old store did about 3000/wk. Not only do people go to homes, but to TONS of businesses. Im sure if you set up a simple system for a store, they'd do your fliers for a year.
  6. So to me, the researches have proven that women with cats are more likely to put out. Awesome.
  7. Theyve been calling it the "Civette" since it was black.
  8. yes but emissions wasnt the point. The point was FUEL CONSUMPTION. ZEV cars have ZFC. Carter knew back in 79 and 80 the shit was going to hit the fan YEARS before Saddam even set fire to the oil fields and fucked things even worse. Thats why avg fuel milage under his term went from around 15 to about 22 and its been roughly the same ever since. This is because of the piggy back mandates by federal government for vehicle classification... the reason for the PT Loser to be classified as a truck, the development of whats now called a cross-over, to help boost the EPA's standards for class fuel economy. Its always been about fuel consumption... emissions was the idea that started it all, but if that was the case for the follow through, they'd just ask GM and Ford to build propane taxi's or have Volvo build a propane bus or something that the city itself could use to be cleaner. By having ZEV's on the road, they were reducing fuel consumption drastically, and with as many drivers on the roads as there are in CA... that would have been a massive difference in just a years time.
  9. As i get older, i just want a simple house, on tons of land, so i can just be stupid all day and no one can say shit
  10. Yes, Regan and Bush halted the Energy revisions put in place by Carter in 1980. Had the budgeted programs been followed, there's a damn good chance that we would have already had electric cars in the late 90's w/o the CARB mandate... and CARB isn't the one who took the cars away. CARB required manufactures to sell a certain percentage of zero-emissions vehicles in the state of California, or they couldn't sell cars there. What happend was, the manufactures, led by GM, teamed up with the federal government and tried to sue the state government... well as it ended up, the federal government forced CARB to hold a hearing to revise the mandate and determine its constitutionality... it was rolled over and removed from the mandate list and then the manufactures just crushed the cars. If CARB had held its ground, things may have been different. Why did the manufacturers crush the cars? After market. Think about all the money made with maintaince on a gas powered vehicle... you're talking about crushing deals with AC Delco, BOSE, Autolight, etc. billions would have been lost up front for an unknown... so they opted for the big bonuses.
  11. The main problem is this. No one cares. Who remembers this? http://americanhistory.si.edu/onthemove/img/media/xl/503.jpg This was in 1987... 22yrs ago. We had the technology back then to run 90mph for hundreds of miles using one charge and the sun. You cant tell me that in 22yrs, the technology has had enough time to develop... BULL SHIT. People stopped caring about it and just didn't bother with it. That's Regan and Bush Sr. for you. Think about a 1987 Corvette... and a 2009 Corvette... you don't think that if any of those car companies invested half as much money in R&D in a solar electric car, as GM did into the Corvette in those 22yrs, there couldn't be on available for the masses? Any answer but no is the wrong answer gentlemen. And then we have the EV1 story... 1994, 15yrs ago... The EV1 was born due to a mandate by C.A.R.B. Then in only 7yrs, they were all crushed. Perfectly good cars. Plenty of interior space and storage, quicker than a 300zx turbo, and 120mile range, more than enough for a normal day. That was 15yrs ago... BEFORE the Tesla Roadster. People see $$$, not realism. People stopped caring. now if you want an electric car, you have to build it yourself.
  12. Awesome, now it looks like a 1990's Camaro
  13. Step 1: Pull up to line until top pair of lights is lit. This is called pre-staging. Step 2: Wait for vehicle in other lane to light his top pair or set of lights. This is called gentleman's staging, and is the proper etiquette shown in professional sport. Step 3: In a reasonable amount of time, finish staging by illuminating the second set of staging lights. Creep the car forward when you do this. If the lights go out, back up and try again. Step 4: Prepare for launch. Get your revs to the proper level quickly... you have but MAYBE 3 seconds before its time to go! If youre an automatic, you should have already been building boost or brake torquing your way to the stage so you should be on the stall of your converter now. Step 5: Wait for the lights to start lighting up. The first large yellow light will light up. exactly .500 seconds later, the second will light... .500 seconds after that, the third, then .500 seconds after that, the green will light. Top Gear Top Tip: Leave on the THIRD yellow. As soon as you see it light up, GO! It will take about .200 seconds for you to react to the light being lit and another .300 seconds for you take take your foot off the clutch, add a whole lot of right foot to the equation and the car to transfer its weight and actually leave the line. Now, just don't crash. Use common sense in the shut down area and yield when you know you should. Drive SLOWLY up to get your slip, and SLOWLY back to the staging lanes. People walk everywhere... DON'T SPEED!
  14. LOL at all the fake roof mounted antenas as fins all over the place
  15. Video is gay. Guy has serious talent, music from Tokyo Drift makes it gay.
  16. Genesis Coupe? Im pretty sure that the track version is fucking amazing with RWD, Brembos, and 306hp.... :gtfo:
  17. Brian, my little sister is a history teacher at Sycamore in Cincy... if you'd like, I can give you her number and maybe get some ideas from her as to how you can fill in the gaps so that your daughter doesn't fall behind. She's definitely smart, but if the teacher isn't into it... there may be things you can do at home to fill the void until she move on to a new teacher. I will say Holly can teach anyone, anything, except specialized science i.e. physics, chemistry, etc.... she may even be able to teach you how to drive
  18. yep... you know theres shit up there... why do you think NO other country has set foot on it? Because we own it... and theres some dude selling property up there too.
  19. Thats because they can get a monster turbo for like $100. Everything is cheap as shit there... Costa Rica too... i rmeember about 10yrs ago, you could go to Costa Rica and retire on about $50k.
  20. Damn i thought the Binary system was the largest... guess i havent been keeping up on my astronomy
  21. infinitely adjustable angles, speeds, and can crash multiple cars at the same time, into each other, walls, animals, or what ever they please. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qIQ2VI7pJ1o&feature=related The car they roll in the beginning is a Phase 1 V40... and as you can see, you could easily open the door and get out if that happened to be you.
