  1. Here's a cheap refurb linksys. http://www.buy.com/prod/cisco-linksys-e1000-wireless-n-router-cisco-linksys-certified/q/loc/101/listingid/115479948/217151869.html Can't personally vouch for it since it's a refurb, but I have had zero issues with my Linksys. Edit: Nevermind. Not gigabit. My bad ... move along.

  3. Makes you wonder who approves this shit.
  4. I'm dying reading this shit. Mit-su-oka ... "It's British ..."
  5. Damn it. Now every time I got to a store ...
  6. The above. Also fuck that guy in the skull-hole.
  7. On the ride home from Kentucky I saw just about that. I really fucked up my average on a really empty stretch of 71 though. Do eeeeeet Shanton.
  8. Damn man, that is some shit there. Good luck.
  9. I had read to use a heat gun or hair dryer, and I tryed using a hair dryer at first but it didn't really seem to make any difference for me, so I didn't list it. That said maybe it simply wasn't getting hot enough.
  10. Fixed. I assume it was just as much a pain in the ass. Nice eye.
  11. Just got into this thread but started from bottom. Can't wait to read.
  12. Thanks, I actually already have the Utah permit, but I believe once the 5 years expires, I will not be able to renew it without the Ohio permit as well. Though I'm not totally sure about that.
  13. There seems to be some dissent on the factory option body side moldings (door ding protection) for the C5 vettes, I've heard that some people love em, and some not so much. I fall very much into the latter. Personally I think the added line is unattractive, and breaks up the flow of the door. Also it's a hunk of plastic 3M taped to side of the car, that bugs me enough all by itself. Items Used: 30lb test fishing line 3M adhesive remover Porter Cable 7424xp Extra fine polish Meguiars Gold Class Elbow grease and patience Terry and MF cloths Before http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k21/sol740/7.jpg http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k21/sol740/6.jpg Using the fishing line and gloves, I made a sawing motion moving up and down, while pulling toward the BSM, and pulling gently back. It took some time to get through it all, its been on there for some time now. There was a little concern about the color under the BSM not quite matching, but after reading some threads on Vette forums, that never really seemed to be an issue, and I can see no difference now that it's done. Now you can see it with the BSM freshly removed. So much nasty adhesive stuck to the door. The picture doesn't really show how thick it actually was. http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k21/sol740/5-1.jpg The next part is the most tedious and most awful part. First I cleaned as best I could with a rag and some soapy water to get as much dirt away from the paint as possible, before I started slowly massaging the adhesive off, using liberal amounts of adhesive remover to help loosen the guck. Now my fingers are sore. I read about some people using a soft-ish plastic puddy knife but I was too afraid of scraping my paint. After doing that shit for a half hour or more per side, and cleaning, and more rubbing, and more cleaning, you end up with something like this. http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k21/sol740/4-2.jpg?t=1301280977 Here is the glob of junk I got off one side. http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k21/sol740/1-2.jpg?t=1301280981 Already looking better. However there was a faint outline on mine, that was particularly stubborn. I cleaned again, and busted out the porter cable. Using a very fine polish, and polishing pad pretty much completely got rid of any noticeable outline, and ended up with this. http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k21/sol740/3-2.jpg http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k21/sol740/2-2.jpg Anyways I much prefer it this way, even if now I need a new sig-pic.
  14. I heard the main issue is other states cancelling reciprocity due to the supposedly lax course required thus stealing potential revenue from the resident state. Which is unfortunate, as the reason I sought out the Utah permit was for confidentiality reasons. Looks like I may be forced into getting Ohio's permit after all.
  15. Is there anything YouTube can't do.
  16. You found it. What I have been advised is that anyone who currently carries only the Utah permit is fine until renewal.
  17. I got an email that Utah may cease to offer non-resident permits for individuals that do not have a permit for the state in which they live. That's the only change I've heard of.
  18. If you're anything like me, you're not gonna see anywhere near those MPGs regardless of which you buy. Look at that empty on-ramp, time to get deep into boost.
