  1. I saw an interesting stat a couple years back on the number of cars sold vs. the number of dealerships each manufacturer had. Toyota had sold more cars than GM with something like 45% less dealerships than GM, maybe GM is taking a hint from them??

    "Wanted"

    Jolie with those tats has my interest, I figured other than that the movie will suck, may have to catch this at the $1.50 theater.
  3. Heh, no amount of dynamat would have quelled that exhaust enough, but it helped with the direct noise since the muffler(that didn't muffle shit) was right under my seat. I can't speak for any other product but the Dynamat is damn good stuff and will do what you need it to.
  4. Heh, when your not looking I'm going to feed your horses "Super colon blow"!!!
  5. $10/Friday only, $40 Daily, $60 Weekend pass for all 3 days. Then various amounts more for paddock passes etc...
  6. I used dynamat in my laser to quell some of the exhaust noise, worked well at deflecting the noise from directly under the car.
  7. Since "speculation" is the bulk of our gas prices it will probably happen, by then I will own a vehicle only for the purposes must have situations, the rest of the time I will be on my Gary Fisher.

    Tornados!

    Ch.4 had some pretty god video of the lightning, you could even see the camera shake from a bolt hitting near by. They showed where lightning hit a place in Zanesville, caught it on fire, firefighters show up to put it out and lightning hits the building again knocking one firefighter out a window!!! What are the chances of that!?!

    Wow, I had heard about that funnel up there and didn't think it would be that damn big and menacing looking!!! That was just a few weeks ago I believe.

    Tornados!

    I don't think I've ever heard so much thunder and seen so much lightning in my life, it was near constant for a couple hours last night.
  11. The GM guys I met this past weekend were really cool even though I don't own one, they seem to be really enthusiastic about what they do and motorsports. I hope to get in free since the SCCA Speedworld Challenge is going on and I have volunteered to work a shift which is well worth it.
  12. 50% is hardly visible, it's not worth it imo, the 35% seems to be a good compromise.
  13. I got saturday scheduled off which is the day of the LeMans race, I can't wait to finally see this in person!!!
  14. I, like most people, have a home computer and see no reason to have a phone other than to have a phone and not all this other bullshit they put on them and have to pay for. Though it's not much money for some of these phone plans the little things like these add up quickly and I have a lot of better places to spend my money. Cliffs: If the phone isn't free I won't buy it.
  15. I had few problems running 20% on several previous cars, only Reynoldsburg bothered me and a state trooper once.
  16. Wow, what a great guy and it's a shame to lose him already, I believe he was only in his early 70's. The 1st host of SNL and probably the brightest comedian ever, I will definitely miss him.
  17. Plenty of people wasted their money on the Iphone, why not this one too??
  18. Good times today. Got to see a flipped mustang as we entered, in the paddock area we saw a Koni Challenge TSX with no left rear corner on the car limping to his garage, watched the Pontiac team take about 15 mins to install an LSX into a GXP-R and offered them $500 for one of the other LSX' they had just laying on the ground!!! The Koni cars were pretty cool, a number of RX8, Miatas, some Z4's and other bimmers, several cobalts(which were fast) and some mini poopers. It got really interesting when it rained as they opted to stay on their race tires, lots of passing and sliding going on, watched a Z4 nearly punt a miata off the course when the miata slid a little and the Z4 couldn't avoid, and this was all just around madness. We talked to some GM guys that had a new Cobalt SS with them. What a sweet car, they've added a new option for a digital display on the A-pillar that displays everything from boost, speed, g-force, engine advance, hp and more, and big Brembo brakes. The big thing is the new warranty says you can race the car all you want and they will cover it under warranty as long as you use GM parts on it!! I want one!
  19. AJ, I am aware they have wipers but there were some some short lived but strong stomrs that came through yesterday. http://www.midohio.com for the schedule, I believe the Koni series is happening and a BMW series race as well.
  20. I was wondering if the Rolex race might get postponed from the storms today....damn you bastards with cable.
  21. Anyone else going up to M/O tomorrow for the Triple Crown/EMCO Classic or have already been today?? Some buddies and I are going to check it out tomorrow though it seems most of the good stuff is going on today. I believe the BMW series race and Mustang Challenge are going on sunday.
  22. It's Ohio, were going to have a blizzard tonight and a heat wave tomorrow!!
  23. If that had be me in that Prelude I would have been dead as tall as I am, she's very lucky.
  24. Wether he was racing or not is no longer important, the word "racing" has been used and that's what everyone is going to believe wether he did or not. If it was an accident I would feel sorry for the guy but he fled the scene....end of story. Though I've been out to the "scene" once this year this is the kind of stuff why I've given up on it, it's just stupid anymore. How many more people have to die before the stupidity stops?? Take it to the track.
