Hurray for corporate America...or not. I loathe the idea of large corporations owning everything, but everyone seems to bow to the almighty dollar.

Well, that went downhill fast.

My 20-year-old Toyota is good to go; bring it, haha. Just leave the yamaha at home. On second thought, I dont intend to race anyone anyway.

Yeah I'm not so sure about that $300,000 and 500 credit score comparison to $30,000 and 780...I think it's bullshit. Jesse's right, those are pretty outlandish scenarios, given that the person with a credit score of 780 living on $30k/yr probably knows how to budget and manage debt pretty well and wouldnt be in the market for a car so far out of sync with their lifestyle. The guy earning $300k is a less attractive borrower because that small percentage that he fits into has a marked propensity to spend beyond their means and attempt to finance before they have earned, and his low credit score is indicative of this. Not making payments on time, etc leading to poor credit score is an early warning sign. This is not going to include all possible cases, just some generalization, proving that credit score DOES matter. Why do you think that engineers, while not the top wage-earners, are often more likely to get a large loan than managers? Could it be that they have better job security, and are therefore more likely to consistently pay back the money? There are people making 6 figures with Porsche in the driveway without $5 to put in the gas tank...and they probably miss their damn payments too. Your thread got jacked, but I think you got an answer up there somewhere!

A $250 BILLION expenditure to rebuild a city that should, by all rights, be underwater. See, I figure what happened to Atlantis was the result of an engineer stepping in and saying: "Whoa whoa whoa guys, could we at least rebuild this on a dry piece of ground?" You can only fight the natural order of things for so long.

I'll take it. PM sent.

I wanna see an whoopin put on the Irish so I can taunt my Control Systems prof and lose a letter grade. :nod: I'm also looking forward to OSU embarassing ND so people will shut up about how good they supposedly are... because they're not.

Hmmm, a model of car nicknamed "the highway king" vs a corolla in top end? lolzors My GZE pulls like there is no tomorrow in the top end; please someone put a mkIII supra transmission in my car so it can reach its full potential...but I doubt it keeps up for very long anyway. On a road course? Watch your ass cause my car would likely be right up it. BTW anyone wanna buy my car? Haha. 1985 AE86, not cheap, long mod list. PM me. Edit: my quotation sucked.

Don't tempt me.

Lurker? That'd be me.

Agreed. Latin is hot, but I have an asian girl and she's badass.

Dear desperado, Please use your vast knowledge of thermodynamics to post exactly how much the internal energy of the combustion chamber contents increased as it was compressed, and how that created such a temperature as to melt a cylinder. Until such time revert back to your practical knowledge and stop speculating on shit using submarines. Thanks, Your resident engineering corps

I wouldn't be as worried about the bearings as the ball joints. You can always pull a wheel bearing and spec out a better bearing....ball joints are more specialty. All concerns aside, sounds like you're happy so I'm happy for ya!

I'm interested. Edit: Yes, I'll go

Oh and not to hijack, but I got contacts @ Toyota in HR if you wanna send a resume. I will call you this weekend.

Jesse, I've been working out for a little less than 3 months now, and just in the last 4 weeks have started paying attention to my running. I usually run 2 miles a day on the track and then lift for an 1.5 hours. Mainly my workout is strength training (I'm a lot stronger than I was at Nate's) so it's hard to focus on running. I have a 5k to run down here next saturday night, so I'm gonna start the week off heavy, probably 3.5 miles and taper every day till I just run 1 mile Friday. I'm not crazy distance, I never have been, but I keep a pretty good 7:30 pace for 2 miles, and 7:45 for 3 miles. Do the varying distances each day, focusing on endurance, my workout is not really for running so do as I say, not as I do.

Oh damn! Go Glenn go. graemlins/lol.gif

Boo hoo, jackass.

I'm still around but rarely in Columbus.

No hatch=no care Haha, just kidding. Lookin good man, I dig the supras over the fwd wheels any day. Wait for my pics...gze in a black hatch, mmm hmm.

Sweet movie, I just watched it tonight too.

I'm in Kentucky @ TMMK this summer.
