  1. Bah.. I commuted through Boston MA in a 6-speed TA. I don't mind traffic with a stick, clutch work is like breathing, I don't even notice it.
  2. Damn.. 45%. But they don't specify if these are slow or fast zombies, or if they are single-brain zombies or not.
  3. Gear Drive if you want people to think you have a blower.
  4. So wait.. 2 hours to say Obama is just another Politician? Really?
  5. Mad World is pretty fun. It gets repetitive, but it's a good chuckle, and helps blow off steam when you cut people in half with a chainsaw.
  6. The PS3 is probably the best Blu-Ray player out there. Dedicated chips aren't used any more, it's all software so the unit can be upgraded. The PS3 excells at this. As for upscaling, it is the BEST I have seen, and I have a 65" TV. The 360 upscaling is crap, and I have a dedicated Philips upscaling DVD player and I don't use it any more. The PS3 is superior. I hate to say it, but the PS3 is a much better DVD/BR player than a game system; and it's still a good buy.
  7. Don't do it.. AT least for the 2010. First year cars are always a disappointment when compared to the subsequent years. Personally, I'd rather a turbo Subaru to a Camaro. But I know that doesn't hold true for everyone. I think your basic problem is that you haven't figured out what you want to do with your car. Nail that down and all of your decisions will be clearer.
  8. It's funny.. When I saw the thread title I thought you were serious, and I was about to go looking for that pic.
  9. 360: Most games PS3: Blu-Ray player that happens to play a couple games Wii: Party Game system and Wii Fit
  10. Isn't that still a classic Auto? The Automated Manuals should feel more like a stick (engine braking, neutral, etc) when in manual mode. Just no clutch. The EvoX stays in gear unless the engine will stall, but it'll let you bounce off the limiter. And I believe if you pull both paddles you'll get neutral. A stick is still more fun, but the new paddle transmissions are a far cry from manually shifting the old Autos. To be honest though, I think I'd prefer a paddle box on a road course.
  11. Thank the EPA and the NHTSC, plus the need to one-up the next manufacturer. It's all about getting better mileage while weighing more and more. Used to be that manuals got better mileage because of less slippage. But Automatics have become more efficient, and the new automated manuals are even more so. You're going to see Auto-Manuals more and more.
  12. Looked more like tar than mud. The front axle tore off because the mud was so strong, not because of how the strap was rigged. I think only a crane could have pulled it out without damage.
  13. I didn't like Borat; I stopped watching about halfway through. But this looks hilarious.
  14. I LOL'd. I'm not a fan of Rap in general.. But I really like Eminem's stuff.
  15. Borat says: http://garlinggauge.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/borat2.jpg Very nice!
  16. 1. Borrow one of the turbo vettes here 2. Say it's your new car 3. Take his(her?) money 4. Hit a strip club, and buy a lap dance with the money.
  17. I love snow and all.. But only when I'm prepared for it. Hankook R-S2s aren't exactly snow tires.. No kidding.. No STI for another week at least. Hopefully the temps just go up from here.
  18. So.... Thermite... Aluminum and Iron Oxide (rust.) It just HAD to come from a bomb, not say slamming hundreds of tons of refined aluminum into a old steel structure and cooking at extremely high temperatures for a long period of time? Sheesh. So much for Occam's Razor.
  19. WRX and an STI.. I appreciate BOOOOOOOST!
  20. I might get this one for a friend. http://www.perpetualkid.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=3321 The splatter is supposedly fired on so it shouldn't come off. I'm just wondering how much of the $15 is for the knife, and how much for the packaging and splatter. I'm worried it might be a POS knife.
  21. Can't believe that lawyer... It's a warzone. Civilians know enough not to go anywhere NEAR explosives laying around. If he thinks some dude walking by is going to take it so he can "scavenge" it for cash, he needs to get off his plush ass, get in his plush car, fly his plush plane to the middle east, and see that these people have more sense than some dumb redneck. (Mostly because the stupid ones are either fighting or dead) They are also "engaging" only those that try to leave with the explosives. The way they spun it, it sounded like the snipers are shooting anyone that looks sideways at the bait. The only downside I see to this, is that the insurgents will likely start using children to grab suspected bait..
  22. I made it out fine. I was pretty much covered as-is, and I was spotting for the photog, so we always had our backs to the sun. But yeah, I learned my lesson a long time ago. I keep a spray bottle and tube of sunblock in my stuff-bin that I take to every race. Stuff-bin FTW btw. Fill it up with your racing essentials, and you'll never forge them. Just toss the bin in your trunk and you're ready to go.
  23. Turbo NSX.... That sounds like an awesome idea...
