Implanted defibs do not deliver the same power a hand held AED does. They shock the heart directly, unlike an AED which has carry the shock through the chest cavity. Usually around 6 or 7 shocks from one defib battery, after that game over. He probably needs his battery replaced relatively soon.

I'd rather have the team I'm rooting for, lose in the National championship to LSU or Florida rather than Appalachian State and Toledo at home during the regular season. :bangbang:
-
Toledo is fucking awful at 1-4 now 2-4. They were picked to be a bottom feeder in the MAC. Last week they didnt even score, this week they beat michigan.

I believe most researchers believe that around a 3% difference in DNA is enough for something to be declared a new species. So...maybe :bangbang:

Didn't Darwin already note something similar to this with the size of some bird's beaks in the galapagos way back when? I was almost positive he noted a change in length from year to year, which he believed was a direct correlation to the food available to the birds. I believe after his research he noted evolution and changes within 22 or so species of birds. Someone correct me If I'm wrong.

http://carsguide.news.com.au/site/motoring-news/story/porsche_accuses_nissan_of_cheating_at_nurburgring/ Porsche has accused Nissan of cheating in the GT-R's record bid at the Nurburgring racetrack. Porsche has just run its own back-to-back tests with the Japanese company's GT-R supercar and says it could not get within 25 seconds of Nissan's claimed record time of seven minutes 29 seconds in April. It also found its 911 Turbo and GT2 were both quicker than the GT-R. "This wonder car with 7:29 could not have been a regular series production car," says August Achleitner, the 911 product chief for Porsche, speaking to the CARSguide at the Australian press preview of the latest 911 Cabrio. "For us, it's not clear how this time is possible. What we can imagine with this Nissan is they used other tyres." He believes the time achieved by Nissan with ex-Formula One driver Toshio Suzuki would only be possible with a semi-slick race-style tyre. Achleitner says Porsche took a standard GT-R, running on regular road tyres, and ran it around the Nurburgring within two hours of its own cars, on the same day with exactly the same weather conditions. He says there was no tweaking of any kind and the GT2 and Turbo both ran on regular Porsche road tyres, the Michelin Sport Cup. "We bought the car in the US. We drove a GT-R with new tyres," he says. Achleitner was initially protective of the exact lap times, which were run during a program when Porsche also compared its upcoming four-door Panamera with a range of potential rivals. But he eventually revealed his team clocked the GT-R at 7 minutes 54 seconds, with the 911 Turbo managing 7:38 and the GT2 getting down to 7:34. The laps were not run by Porsche's usual hot-lap specialist, former world rally champion and race winner Walter Rohrl, but one of the company's chassis development engineers who is an expert on the Nurburgring. Achleitner says the back-to-back comparison was run because Porsche was concerned by Nissan's claims for the GT-R, which is heavier than the 911 with similar power. "The Nissan is a good car. I don't want to make anything bad with my words," he says. "It's a very consistent car. But this car is about 20 kilos heavier than the Turbo . . ." In the end, Porsche believes its testing has achieved the right lap times for the Skyline GT-R and benchmarked it against its own 911 heroes in the right context. "For us it has been clearly the result. This technical puzzle now fits together. With the other numbers we had problems to understand it," he says. - Herald Sun Oh boy, the GTR fanboi's arent going to like this. Not. One. Bit. :bangbang:

It is a little weird to note that the same magazine ran a 3.09 with a 2005 Lotus Elise with only 190hp. I find it hard to believe there wasn't any driver error involved when you have essentially the same car only with an increase of 30 hp.--Could GM be purchasing some advertising space in the test?

hahahhahahahhahahahahhahahahahha

He was a great car guy, but even a better person. He donated hundreds of millions of dollars to charity. He also started "Hole in the Wall gang camps" which helped terminally ill children.

Im as big of a bucks fan as they come... but no way in hell do they end up being ranked ahead of the trojans unless they lose again. And USC is notorious for blowing "easy" games and then demolishing top ranked teams later on in the season. See past years when they lost to UCLA, Oregon state (06), and Stanford.

Possibly interested in a trade... I will think it over. Definitely would need some cash with it too.

Good work as always!

Car has roughly 55k miles as of today and will continue to climb as I drive the car. Color is crystal gray metallic which was introduced in 2005. I've never had any problems with the car at all and its been cared for extensively. Mods include: Cobb AP V.1 Invidia uppipe Invidia Bellmouth Downpipe SPT catback Prodrive springs The stock wheels are on the car now with the OEM tires. They still have plenty of tread left as I ran two sets of aftermarket rims for most of the time. The stock wheels are pretty sharp though, nice bronze in color. I have tracked (LaRue) the car 2 times since I bought it. I managed roughly 4-5 runs with a best time of 13.7ish at 100 and a shitty 60' time because I was scared to break something. That was about 2.5 years ago and I have babied the car since. Hell, I barely even hit boost any more with gas prices the way they have been. Also, I NEVER EVER slam the gears. I am an avid poster on nasioc and always take it easy on the tranny. Car has been professionally detailed by Andy the past two summers and will receive another detail by him once it sells. Suggested Retail Private Party Value I am looking for 16,200 with the mods. Pictures from Andy's Detail

A six week old died.... I'd be all for this if the guy killed himself, but Darwin isn't winning when a child dies when riding in her safety seat.
-
Good call. I wasn't sure on that. I figured you'd be in to correct me if i was wrong

Intakes are generally bad unless there is a tune. Ask about tranny issues...take the car on a test drive. Ask about how many/if the car has been tracked. The wrx tranny will blow if its beat on, so try to find a car that is being sold by someone you feel you can trust. The 04-05 models have RA gear width (per nasioc) but not the same cut. In all honesty, join up on nasioc.com and read all the stickies. Check to see if the heat shield has been removed, because if it has and the car is stock it mostly likely demodded. But for me, if I was looking again I would want the least amount of mods on my car. And an intake & MBC would be the first things I would ask about...both of those being negating factors. im possibly selling...pm me if your interested.

did you email them asking for a phone number?
