I've had them powdercoat three sets of rims. I'm very happy with their service.

Caterhams rock Caterham R500 vs Ducati: jump to 2:15 for the

+1 Rubbin's Racin' is just a excuse for poor driving. If you can't pass someone without bumping them out of the way, then they are the better driver and you don't deserve the position.

Yes.. Yes it does.

No, I'm not fun to take to magic shows.

Incredibly fake. 1. For the trick to work, the direction of force must be parallel with the tabletop. That's why if you look carefully when someone does it, they pull the tablecloth downwards across the edge of the table. 2. Even in the first trick the items on the table moved. In the second, they move a little, but if you look carefully, the items move BACK into place, almost together. 2a. The tablecloth moves MUCH slower behind the bike than it did in the first trick, making it even less likely that it would work. I believe they glued all of the plates and such together so they were just a bunch of heavy singular objects. Then had teflon 'feet' like you'd find on the bottom of a computer mouse applied to reduce friction. And finally, large magnets in the suspiciously thick table with corresponding ones in the items. Or, now that I'm thinking of it. The KISS principle indicated that there just might be a second clear "tablecloth" or tethers, between the white one and the items, that's anchored to the back of the table. This would better account for the items moving back into place as a single unit.

Oww... That's just not right..

There's a white one that I think someone uses as a DD that I've seen a few times. I think it lives in the development off Trabue and Dublin RD on the west side of the river.

You mean the one that was heavier and slower? Ford patched that IRS together and half-assed it, then tried to charge a premium for it. Of course it was gong to flop. But I guess since an IRS sucks, they shouldn't try to do it right.. I mean, that's why the new Camaro, and new Challenger, as well as all BMWs, Audis, Mercedes, Subarus, and others have live rear axles.. Oh wait.. They don't.

No IRS, no care. As above, it's not 1960 any more, and independent rears are no longer black magic. They didn't report the weight savings... If any. Ford's been improving greatly. Every time I see a new Fusion on the road, I have to mark how good it looks. But the Mustang is their flagship performance car, and they can't get their heads out of the 1/4 mile. Imagine a lightened, lowered, Mustang with an "ecoboost" V8 and an IRS. Ford could be knocking on the Vette's rear bumper with their "pony" car. Wouldn't that be a coup?

And the insurance companies are loving every damn minute of confusion. They will all point fingers at each other and none of them will pay out.

Needs more photos, but it might just be the first porsche I like.

When I moved out here, I was surprised at the building construction that's common out here. Good windows and insulation would go a LONG way to cutting Ohio's energy usage.

Do believe it. It works, I've tried it. I've never had lemonade that tasted as good as a slice of lemon after eating one of those Miracle Fruits.

Oops

Subaru Forester. Best small SUV, over and over and over. http://images.passionperformance.ca/photos/0/2/4/024181_2010_Subaru_Forester.jpg

Very cool. I definitely think the 2nd gen body is under appreciated. Though I have to laugh at "Air Induction." Personally, I prefer my cars to have steak induction.

+1 I'm all for vents and intakes... And I can see how the proportioning was changed.. But it just doesn't come together. I think it ran off a cliff straight into the Uncanny Valley of cars.

What good is having the fastest 3G if you can't get 3G where you are? AT&T's response to Verizon's "There a Map for that" campaign is a little too close to Apple's "I'm a Mac" commercials for my liking; with all the misdirection and omissions.

Too soon man.. Too soon.

I have a nice bike, but I hardly ride it.. I really should, but I'm always doing something else, or just being lazy. I've thought of selling it, but that would be admitting I'm lazy. At least with it in my garage I can say I *might* ride it again. I miss my Gary Fisher though.. I owned it before suspensions were common. It was a hardtail with elevated chainstays to eliminate chain slap, and a shortened wheelbase with a curved seat tube to make it nearly telepathic down a singletrack. Front fork was solid too. Shock forks were easily $600+ back then. Wish I still had it.

That's just sex... I'd like to see someone drop a 4G63T into a Starion.

I'd drive 1, 2, 3, 14, 16, 18, and 19 in a heartbeat. I don't see what the big deal is about 4, 5, and 8.. But then I'm not phased by driving in Boston. No way in hell would I drive 6, and I'd only drive 7 in the winter (Mud is fun for the first mile, but sucks afterwards.) Did I ever mention I want to do the ALCAN 1000 someday? 9 looks like fun if I was driving the rally car. As does 12. 10 and 11 are really cool. But only if traffic is one way. I'm going to have to say no to 13.. Mud and rock slides are buzzkills. 15 actually looks boring. 17 only if I could borrow someone's rockcrawler. I think it'd give the Subaru a tough time.

Dude... T-Mobile trademarked the color Magenta. A COLOR!
