And that is how the universe balances out Justin Beiber

It won't be cheap, but I plan to go. If the prices are similar to the Canadian Grand Prix, I'll probably go with the Regular Package. I'd love to go VIP or Paddock, but that's a big chunk of change that could go into the cars.

Can't wait.

I LOL'd. :lolguy:

The magnetic field around the earth is shaped like a bunch of donuts, all one within another like Russian nesting dolls. The antiprotons are trapped between the donuts, essentially bottled up. Some escape and annihilate themselves on matter in the atmosphere, but apparently a lot stays trapped. And since these bands reach WAY beyond the atmosphere or even the orbits of all the space junk out there, there's very little matter for the antiprotons to hit.

I love how the back window pops open when he launches.

A gross simplification, but: More rotational weight = better highway mileage Less rotational weight = better city mileage

Make a go-kart! Takes nearly 2 minutes to get to idle, and almost a minute to turn off.

In my dorm, a guy stapled diapers to his door for Shaven Yak Day.

Sweet!

damn... I was using Telnet on the internet... in college... in 1993.

It's still just Stage 1. I keep getting distracted by other cars before I can do a good Stage 2+ on it. As for cost of upgrades, again, it depends on your goals. Repairs: SigmaTec Upgrades/Tuning: IPS/ATS The Subaru exhaust sound is only annoying if you get an obnoxiously loud exhaust. A good exhaust will give you a rumble without being annoying. My personal favorite is the MadDad Whisper. It's quiet enough at low RPMs that you won't wake your neighbors, but will speak up when you get on it. I'd be happy to let you drive mine, but the suspension's been very modified so the ride and handling will not be representative of a stock STI.

I believe you'd be happy with the STI. I'm certainly biased, of course. If you do decide to get an STI, look for an 07+ as the taller 2-4 gears are nicer around town and the more open heads allow for a smidge more power at Stage2. But stay away from the 08s. The first year of the new generation was a little shaky.

The STi's pistons are really not all that prone to failure. The problem lay in the tune. The Stock tune allows for full boost to occur while still in closed-loop (14.7:1 AFR). So even in totally stock form, the engine is starting off on the wrong foot. But give it a good tune and make the change to Open Loop occur sooner and it's a reliable engine. However, how much power do you want to make? The stock EVO 8 and 9 block can handle more boost than the stock STI block. Both can do 300awhp no problem. You can get more from the stock Evo turbo, but both blocks can handle 350awhp pretty reliably. It's the move from 350-400+awhp that you'll have to start thinking of cracking the STI block open when I believe the Evo internals will start to cry uncle around 400-450. If your choice is between an STI or an Evo X, then you're pretty much in the same boat engine-wise. So having goals will help in your decision. Will this be a daily driver? You may find the STI's ride and the 07+ gearing more to your liking. Or do you plan to use this for a weekend/track toy? Then you might like the Evo's stock handling more. Neither car can be considered refined. It really comes down to which degree of roughness you can put up with or meets your needs.

There is multiple fail going on here. 1. The driver of the PT cruiser should know how to change a tire. That's just simple. If they can't do it or expect someone else to do it for them for free, they can just sit in the heat for all I care. And since we're swinging our Good Samaritan E-Peens around, I have stopped to ask people if they need me to call someone for them on multiple occasions. Almost all of them had already called. 2. Whether the officer is supposed to help the person or not, it IS his duty to ascertain if the stopped vehicle poses a threat to moving traffic or not. Same as if it were debris or a fallen load. I can't see any officer saying with a straight face that they aren't responsible for traffic safety. And frankly, short of a rest area, no place on the side of a highway is a safe place. So the owner of the PT cruiser should not have been trying to get the officer to help with a breakdown. Prepay phones are cheap if they're too lazy to fix the tire themselves. But having failed Basic Vehicle Ownership 101 and asking the officer for help, the officer should have at least radioed it in to get a wrecker out (at the owner's cost). And then indicated to the driver that he had radioed so that the driver can walk off the highway to a safe spot. It wouldn't have taken much of the officer's time at all. As with most situations, there's enough blame to go around.

And that was still about 300lbs heavier than the 650hp Ariel Atom.

My new saltwater tank: http://www.newlaunches.com/entry_images/1208/17/EPV_amphibious_tank.jpg Cool tank though. Saltwater fish always have the best colors.

That.. is.. GENIUS!

I doubt it. Likely the area was a high landslide risk. Probably due to undermining down the hill. Looks like it was blocked off already. So they probably new something was going to happen.

This would be a common occurrence. http://www.wimp.com/extremelandslide/

The more I think about this, the more it makes me want to build a Project 818 when it's released. It'll be 4.5-5lbs/hp or 444hp/ton as I plan it. That's about half what this monster is, but it's still awesome when you compare it to my STI which is around 182hp/ton.

Dammit.. Need new pants now...

Someone should call him about the $200 ipad. Then call him about the $200 Iphone. Then the $200 tablet. Then the $200...... :gabe:

Dude, where do you buy those really tiny cans of Mt. Dew?

Definitely neat. The Wet/Dry conditions kept the times from being comparable though. It did irk me that they played up the dry times as if they were comparable to the wet times. I think Stewart was scared to death of the F1 car. It didn't seem like he ever really went full throttle. I didn't get a chance to see Hamilton in the NASCAR though.
