  1. I worked at a gaming/hobby store. Because there were a lot of kids around, we had a swear jar to keep the parents happy. 25 cents for a swear, $1 for the F-bomb. One guy used to swear so much, he'd walk in and pre-pay a $20 on tournament nights. Every year, we'd have a member's only day, and the swear jar would pay for pizza and sodas for everyone, without fail.

  3. To get 350-400 awhp reliably will require an aftermarket turbo and forged internals. As far as swpping it in, the most difficult part will be the harness, and there's tons of info out there to handle that. You'll want to swap the transmission as well, since that much power (nearly 500 crank hp) will turn a 2.5i and WRX transmissions into so much shiny confetti. The STI 6-speed is damn near bombproof though. If you look around, you can get a good deal on an STI driveline. I picked up: clutch, slave cyl, 6-speed, shift linkage, driveshaft, R180 diff, all four axles, and all four knuckles for $4500. You may end up spending more, once you're done, than just buying a WRX or STI. But most swaps are usually in danger of that. That's why most people looking to do a swap like this start with an 01 or earlier Impreza. Now if you think this might turn into a long-term build. Then just swapping in a stock WRX or STI motor is not exceedingly difficult.
  4. Think those sealed beam lamps are stupid? Found a site that sells E code lamps to convert your headlights to H4 bulbs. I thought there might be some interest. http://www.rallylights.com/detail.aspx?ID=3929
  5. The most dangerous thing about snowy roads is the other drivers.
  6. In their defense, it's understandably difficult to sever a friendship that has so much emotional investment in it. But really, it's pretty obvious when a guy is looking for more in a relationship. It should never get to the "let's just be friends" speech. That's just cruel on her part.
  7. Same.. It's amazing how oblivious girls are to how much of a smack in the face "I just want to be friends" is. A kick in the nuts is better.
  8. I doubt the "programmable torque split" but the rest of the work is pretty impressive.. The turbo is just silly though.. It's a dyno queen/roll racer.
  9. It was Epic... and I LOL'd.
  10. Man.. I'd SO love to do this.. Someday perhaps.. Oh, and whoever does go, bring extra spending $$. You're going to want to buy all sorts of things and ship them home. Including car parts.
  11. Reminds me of the vehicles from BorderLands or a couple other games. I always thought it was possible to build a suspension like that.
  12. Wind is the only factor. Speed and trajectory is just math. Stunts like this have ceased to really interest me since they have every factor calculated to the smallest detail. I'll wait for the clip on Youtube. Oh, and he might be a bit of a tool, but Pastrana is a better driver than Block. Even the CEO of Vermont Sportscar admits it.
  13. I've had it on in the background for the last few hours and they've been running a bunch of arms race shows, including nuclear weapons.. How the hell haven't we blown ourselves to oblivion yet? Sheesh, you'd think the world was run by small-dicked schoolyard bullies.
  14. The water we drink and bathe in has carcinogens in it. The air we breathe has carcinogens in it. The sun above us bombards us with harmful radiation. All synthetic materials are created by chemical processes that NEVER existed in nature before us, and so may have unintended consequences. This includes the clothes you're wearing now, in constant contact with your unprotected skin. Fuck it. Pass the maple syrup and Milk Duds.
  15. I got a HUGE terrycloth bathrobe for Xmas. It hangs down to my ankles and I'm 6'4" tall. F'n awesome.
  16. Ok, that's the other one I think. I deliver to the one in Grandview pretty often.
  17. Is this the one in Grandview, right near the 670 ramp?
  18. Win! Looks like it might be fake... but win all the same.

    XBOX 360 or PS3?

    If you're just looking to play games, get XBox 360. If you also want a Blu-Ray player, get the PS3.
  20. And some people think it's odd that I like Subarus so much....
  21. Never had them (not even sure they were around when I was that age). But everyone I know who's had the procedure done for their kids have had great things to say.
