    hello....

    Bill said he was bringing the car here when you guys get back. I'll make him sign up after I check out the ride. I still can't believe he is gonna have a pretty fast car. I don't think he's owned anything that could run faster than a 17

    hello....

    Dig for $20 j/k Glad to see ya signed up man. Now we need to plan a Sat. night columbus trip
  4. Why can't race gas make you go faster? Especially on a turbo car. It allows you to run more boost and more timing without detonation. A turbo 500 whp pump gas car should be able to make around 600 whp with race gas, if tuned for it.
  5. Damn.... 7 dirty words was the best. RIP
  6. Buy it now bid from a -2 feedback bidder. Car will be back up in 2 days
  7. That IS hard to watch...... RIP Scott
  8. I'd give up that "protection" to have the rights land owners should have. Would I like it if my neighbor painted his house yellow with pink polkadots and put up an ugly steel fence? Ofcoarse not. The question is why? Well thats obvious too, it would look awful, and these "rules" protect us from looking at these awful things. The problem is that just because the majority of people don't like it, the land owner can't have it. What would it hurt really? Nothing at all. "Ownership" has really taken on a different meaning than a couple hundred years ago. It used to mean to have control of property. They need to change the definition to being liable for property. You don't have control of shit.
  9. All of those laws, rules, and regulations the dictate what you can and can't do with the land that YOU own are BS.
  10. If there's a spot available I'd get in. Not sure if I would be able to make a live draft though. I guess it just depends on when you would be doing it.
  11. FRESH Wendys fries > all only when they are fresh though If the fries are more than 5 minutes old, then McDonalds wins

    Saturday...... I am starting to hate my job.
  17. There is a formula for credit scores, however its not made public due to the fact that people would manipulate it. Get a copy of your credit report and make sure everything is correct, and there are no delinquent accounts on your history. Don't apply for credit often as "hard pulls", or an attempt to recieve credit brings your score down. Average age of accounts is a big factor also. If you just opened a couple accounts your average age of accounts goes down, and thats bad. Also don't close an account you have had for a long time, that can also lower your score. Keep revolving debt(credit cards), but keep your balances down. The sweet spot seems to be as close to 33% of your available balance as possible. Keep an auto loan. Make extra payments, but still keep the loan for a few years. Keep a realestate account and keep it payed on time. Thats your credit score. On top of that banks look at things like how long you have lived at a house. They want to see that you don't move around a lot. They also like to see you keep a job for as long as possible. DTI or Debt to income is also big. Make sure to keep your total monthly debt (credit cards, house, car loan) around or under 40% of your gross monthly income. Hope that helps
  18. I would have to agree. You could also get a 3 series like you said. If you are going to be driving it all the time that might be the way to go. I love my Evo, but if I had to spend hours per day driving I rather do it in a Bimmer.
  19. The "looks" comparisons are completely useless, because they are personal opinions, not facts. The only point I was trying to get through was the fact that Mitsu made the Evolution for competition. Saying its still a Lancer is just not true. Its not even close to a "built Civic" still being a Civic, because Honda did not ever engineer the Civic to compete in anything. I honestly don't even know why I argued this. I know there are people that love these cars and people that hate them. Same with any car. I will say most people who dislike Evos haven't driven one or rode in one. I have had quite a few people hate on my car until they took a ride in it. I also think the 4 door turns a lot of people off. Before I had kids, I didn't care for four doors either. Amazing thing is that this four door is faster than any of the Camaros, mustangs, or DSMs I have ever owned. I think everything has been established that is worth mentioning. Back on topic, that car is bid up tp 48k currently..... wow
  20. I don't have a problem with people not liking Evos. Heck, I even ditched the rear wing so people wouldn't have to look at it, considering 99% of cars only get to look at the back of my car, lol J/K
  21. The difference is Honda did NOT make the civic purposely for the intent of running it in a large racing series. On the other hand that is EXACTLY what Mitsubishi did with the Evolution. There aren't too many performance car that don't have some relation to a regular car. Your beloved RX7 for example was Mazda's replacement for the RX3, which was available in a sedan, and even a station wagon.
  22. Yeh, the effect on that picture does make it look flat.... I can't win
  23. WTF, my car is on the flyer, lol Now I HAVE to go. btw, nice Camaro!
  24. I am not missing the point. I understand the point, it's just incorrect. The Evo exists because Mitsubishi had to comply with WRC rules stating that the cars used in competition must also be in production. What Mitsubishi did was make a great WRC car, then put it into production to stay in compliance. Most people don't take into consideration that Evolutions were around way before 2003. Here's an interesting history on them: First line, "From the beginning, the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution existed solely to succeed in the World Rally Championship" http://www.sportcompactcarweb.com/features/0304scc_mitsubishi_lancer_history/index.html
  25. Here's an article explaining it, and what it would be useful for: http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2003/03/29/1048653907088.html
