  1. Did it come with a purse to match the interior leather?
  2. Check this out for more reference: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/autocrossing-and-roadracing/2843828-i-tested-michelin-pilot-super-sports-california-speedway.html In addition, the OP was talking about road noise. I could almost guarantee the PS2 would be significantly quieter than the NT05 due to the tread pattern.
  3. The PS2 is not what I would call an all season tire, furthermore, dont be fooled by the treadwear rating. The zo6 sizes they offer are actually a 'special' compound for the PS2, because they use those tires for dot tire spec class racing. Unless you are talking about R compound (or other competition spec) tires (which NT05s are not), even in the dry, you will be very very hard pressed to outperform the PS2s Here is hte 'new' new PS2 (the super sport) even TireRack loves them... http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tests/testDisplay.jsp?ttid=148
  4. Not sure if you follow 1Lap, but there is a reason the fastest vettes were running PS2's If you happen to have SPEED channel, this weekend be sure to watch the Optima Ultimate Street Car Invitational. The winning car (a cincy car no less) is a C6ZO6, and he is running none-other than PS2s... they did quite a bit of tire testing before the event and the PS2s were by far the fastest tire... the one that was behind it quite surprisingly was the BFG KDW TA
  5. Wild Wonderful Whites of West Virginia, best documentary EVAR
  6. If you think it is fun now, wait until the pavement warms up... it makes a HUGE difference believe it or not. Also, regarding noise, there are a few things: Get good tires. Since you daily drive a lot, I recommend Mich. PS2's anything else is really a compromise. you can also do a lot to reduce the road noise with some good sound deadening over the rear wheel arches, and rear trunk area. On the c5z, a trunk partition makes a HUGE difference, but not sure if it is as effective on the c6z since it is a hatch. Oh, if you have TC off, you still have active handling. The C6z has one additional mode over the c5z... It goes like this for you: TC/AH on - (normal mode) TC off / AH on - (one push of the button), maintains a more aggressive active handling, to keep you from having a bad day Competitive Driving - (two pushes within 5 seconds): TC off, less aggressive AH to allow you to do more, or have a bad day if you cant control TC/AH both off - (hold button down for 5 seconds) Its all in the hands of the driver... max fun, or max damage.
  7. buy my shit, assholes make an offer that interests me at least, or DIAF.
  8. two advanced degrees, still want to watch movies/tv... And at least it is good to know that the problem isnt just that I suck at Netflix... it really has serious flaws... I guess if i want to watch movies, I will have to stick to paying /view from Amazon/Sony/etc...
  9. So, regarding Netflix... i am on my "free trial" portion, and I am kind of underwhelmed... First it seems like the movie selection isnt great... Seems like several of the 'recent' movies i have searched for are not available? I saw Iron Man was on TV the otehr night, and thought "hmm I will just see if it is on netflix later"... I looked, and not found? Same with (I know it has to be bad) GI Joe movie that came out a few years ago? Is this just because the trial version is limited? Also, the category listing / browse function seems to suck, compared to say, Amazon movies. In particular, I really just want to browse through new releases, and by new releases I mean newer movies that have been released to dvd/interwebz. The "new releases" category on Netflix is just the random movies that are being released to it, and in no partiular order... a movie from 1967 will be right next toa movie from 1999, next to a random indy film from 2009.... it makes no sense to me!
  10. You mean in the theoretical world where that girl would go anywhere near you, let alone hold a converastion with you? <3 you DB

  13. Yea, you can't even begin to blame that lose on the refs, they played some ugly basketball
  14. Hey Dildodus, putting *NSFW* then just attaching the picture 10 lines below that, does not help, when you still have to scroll passed it... K,Thx,by Half of NWS is the picture itself being on the screen, the other half is for those of us who have IT robots scanning our pc's....
  15. Oh yea, i forgot about that, good point!
  16. didnt they just get busted for something else too?
  17. If you mean after BK said "fuck you, Im off to ND" then I would agree... before hand, not so much. We had a top 10 FBS offense, 6th in passing yards. Our average scoring drive was under 2 minutes. Which also lead to poor defensive stats because our defense spent so much time on the field they got tired.... but we were really good defending hte pass, as well as near the top in sacks... but against the run, not so much (which is what OSU was fairly good at) So I still say it would be a good game. Hell, i think our Sugar Bowl performance would hve been MUCH better against anyone but a pissed off Florida team. (other than what would have been a pissed off Alabama team). Just think, we were like 1-3 points shy of going to the NCG that year... holy hell that would have been disasterous :lolguy:
  18. Yup, when Miami was very dominate, they were in the BE, then jumped ship. And yea, I know what you are getting at with the Cincy fans in both 2009, and this year. But think of it from the perspective of being proud to be "good" in a sport that they have struggled to be good at. Pride overtakes sense at times. But I would also argue that both in 2009 and this year an OSU vs UC matchup would have been a great game. I know most of the OSU bitterness comes from the "bUCkeye state" t-shirts... which were over the top, but a brilliant marketing ploy to cincy fans. Also keep in mind, in Cincy there is always a desire to rally around a winning sports team, especially in football, since it something the city strugges with, lol. The rallying around hte football team also coincided with the fact that most UC fans needed something to latch onto after Huggy was ran out of town and our basketball dominance suffered tremendously.
  19. This is true... but you have to keep in mind, the BE wasnt created to be a football powerhouse, they have always been a dominate basketball conference, that was what they were there for. That is what got UC an invitation to the conference. I think for hte last few years they ahve been trying to build the argument, but it will never be a winning one. There is just not football pedigree in the conference. Every time a school gets to where they show they can be dominate and very good in football, they run off to a football conference, because hte $$$$ are much larger in football than in basketball.
  20. Pssh, I would totally tell her to go away and leave me alone. I have always dated and gone on dates with much hotter and classier women. But I would not be surprised at all if such a plain girl wanted to get with me... I have ot tell women like that all the time to get bent.
  21. I know, just trash talking. And yes, our record shows we are not a top football conference. We fair well against ACC opponents (which was where I was directing my comments) but as I have argued in the past, though a loss is a loss is a loss, most games are still competitive, with some blowouts out of hte "bottom" BE schools...
  22. Yea, it is hard to keep track of, here is what i read: "Even without Syracuse and Pitt, the Big East could have 11 football teams in 2013... Memphis, Central Florida, SMU and Houston from Conference USA are set to join the Big East in 2013 for all sports. Boise State and San Diego State from the Mountain West are slated to join as football-only members in 2013. Navy is scheduled to join in 2015 for just football." http://www.uticaod.com/m/sports/x1679445558/Big-East-could-let-Syracuse-and-Pitt-leave-early But as also stated from that article: "The Big East currently has seven members for next season: Pitt, Syracuse, Connecticut, Cincinnati, Louisville, South Florida and Rutgers." which is why I said 2012 was a concern at this point.
  23. I'll tell you what is weird, when I was down at the Sugar Bowl a few years ago, both before and after we got romped... The SEC florida fans didnt hardly make any "big least" or conference jokes... It seems that most of hte flack given comes from the Big 10.... which seems to play second fiddle to the SEC, is it a superiority complex as a defense mechanism?
