Not a bad find. Here's what they listed for Soundwave's casettes: Rumble, Ravage, Buzzsaw, Lazerbeak, Frenzy, Ratbat, Overkill, Slugfest, Squawktalk, Beastbox. The first four sound familiar; the rest I'm clueless on.

Who was Buzzsaw? The other bird? (Were there two?) Wasn't there another little guy like Rumble?

*collective groan from audience* BOOOOOO!! HISSSSSSS!! LOL.

Megatron was a gun (i.e., a pistol). Totally badass roxors. Anyway, Megatron as a Vette? Yes, yes, I like what've you done here.

Beast Wars? Was that like a spin-off cartoon? I think I may seen a few episodes. If I remembering it correctly, I didn't like it so much. BTW, my crystal ball is alerting me that this thread has veered so far away from automotive interests that a move is imminent.

Wrong answer. Dinobots are the Transformers equivalent of Jar Jar Binks. Constructicons > Dinobots

Ah, this is a very good point. I always liked Soundwave, and was pissed that he never got that much screentime in either the cartoons or, especially, the movie. Soundwave had the cat thing, Ravage, and the little purple guy that had pile drivers for arms - Rumble is that things name? - and that bird. What was the bird's name?

Megatron > Optimus Prime.

Muthafuckin 01 or 02 Z06. Seriously. You could find a very clean one with relatively little miles for $25K at a dealership.

Not mad, it's just a pet peeve of mine. I'm fairly pro-Columbus, and dislike that Columbus so often must be qualified with the tag "Ohio," whereas other, prominent national cities (e.g., Chicago) do not need such qualifiers. So, it's particularly annoying when people like you who (1) have lived in Columbus and would presumably know it's history and (2) are in a position to enact a positive influence on the city's image by regularly interacting with people in other cities - like Chicago - continue to use the unnecessary qualifier "Ohio." I only have a few pet peeves. This happens to be one of them. Is it insignicant in the larger scheme of things? Certainly. Will that make me stop harping on it? Certainly not.

Then you won't be surprised from now on by my "force of habit" of lighting you the fuck up for dumb shit like this. So, by all means, keep it up - my sadistic streak needs expressed every once and a while.

Awesome.

Quoted for accuracy. Game over.

And I think it's a great opinion and a very valid one. And, like I mentioned in the other thread (i.e., the 1 of 165 threads devoted to IPS at the moment ), I think that Jeff values the feedback. He's a bright guy, after all. He's just got a hot-streak in him.

The tails were bought - and installed without my knowledge - by my ex-girlfriend. (She did it as a suprise gift.) IPS didn't have anything to do with those, so you can't peg that on them. Nice try, though, fucker.

Some of you have commented on Jeff's public relation skills, or lack thereof. I'm not chiming in here to opine as to whether or not those critiques are accurate. Instead, I'd like to point out that it's extremely difficult to allow people to run you down publically - and with a fair measure of slander - and not respond with some degree of force. So, while all of you may be correct in lobbying for Jeff to simply "turn the other cheek," I would argue that's much easier said than done. Regardless, though, I think he was being sincere in wanting to know how his responses affect the perception of the shop, and I believe he'll take your responses to heart. So, let's not overlook the fact that he was man enough to bring this issue forward. All that being said, I have been with IPS from the get-go. I must have been one of their first customers. And here's what I have said - and very openly I might add - since the get-go: IPS has my business until they lose it. And, after five cars that they've worked on for me and a bunch of money in mods, they have done nothing to even come close to losing my business. And they know I'm fickle and don't give a fuck about up and leaving someone if they hack my shit up. No, they have instead done everything exactly to my liking. So, in sum, as a wise man once said, "Guys, seriously, IPS motorsprts FTW."

IPS has plenty of experience working with 03/04 Cobras - they did a lot of work on mine, including a nitrous install, and they've worked extensively on another 03 Cobra (i.e., lccobra on here).

Thank you for qualifying "Columbus" with "Ohio," as I'm sure that, without that, we'd have no fucking clue what city to which you were referring.

Excellent post. Seriously.

No, he stopped claiming he was stock after he modded the car and, thus, wasn't stock any longer.

I committed suicide at around 11:00 last night. Other than passage into heaven, what else did I miss out on?

An all stock Z28 being way too fast? Reminds me of Linn circa 2004.

Pure genius. Awesome find.

It's been a while since I was into comic books, but, if I'm not mistaken, wasn't Wolverine's first appearance - anywhere - in an Incredible Hulk comic, in which he (i.e., Wolverine) was "Weapon X?" Thus, if I'm correct, what I imagine to be some new spin-off, the "Ultimate Hulk vs. Wolverine" or whatever it is that the pic we're looking at is from, may be some kind of homage to the comic book origins of Wolverine. Also, Ricochet, I think Magneto, at one point, actually removed the adamantium from Wolverine's skeleton - Magneto's a fairly powerful mutant, after all. However, I'm even less sure about this fact than I am about the aforementioned fact about Wolverine's first appearance in a comic book.

LOL @ Mensan's new avatar, etc.
