  1. http://www.playseats.com I have the cheapo one you can order online from Target. IT's a little wobbly, but the better ones look a lot more sturdy.
  2. They also fish for Cod and other things. Overall, the average full-share deckhand will make about $120K working 8 months out of the year.
  3. Love that movie; it's sitting on my DVD shelf right now. Really cool fact: Did some of the chase scenes look familiar? Same director did Grand Prix.
  4. I'm a Deadliest Catch addict too. That show is awesome. THis season was definately the best. It's just too bad that one reason for that is a captain that will likely never fish again. Poor Phil. American Hotrod sucked. I hated that show. Boyd had no idea how to negotiate with customers. Customers do NOT know what it takes to make these cars, so of course they are going to want unreasonable deadlines. And Boyd just blissfully accepted every deadline and dumped it on his team to make it happen. Customer: "We have a car we want restored and turned into a hotrod. All we've got is a rusty mirror and a dented fender. Oh and we need it in two weeks." Boyd: "No problem, my guys can do that." It's no wonder that all of the real skill in his garage left to work for Foose.
  5. Wow.. it's been YEARS since I saw that.. There's a certain mad genius to it.
  6. STI or WRX. And though new is nice, you can get almost new (07) for a LOT less money.
  7. They sell these plastic bins of pretzel sticks... OMG they are AWESOME.. They're so buttery and good.. I could sit down and eat a whole bucket.
  8. F that. No 92 octane pigswill for my cars.
  9. I built my home theater system because I have learned to HATE the audience at movie theathers. Peopel have no respect for others. One movie I was at, someone called their voicemail on their cell phone... OVER SPEAKERPHONE! I have tons of stories of bad manners at theathers. I just wish I didn't have to wait months for good movies to arrive. Really, the only reason why DVDs aren't released immediately is because of the theaters. The movie studios make FAR more money on DVD sales and rentals. They know that if the release simultaneously to DVD and Theaters, people won't go to the theaters. THe expereince isn't WORTH the money or headaches. I think the studios should threated to go straight to DVD and scare the theaters into improving instead of just buckling to them. How much would I pay? I'd pay $40-60 and split that with my friends.
  10. Danica needs to stop throwing tantrums. There definately need to be more women in motorsports, but having this brat running around throwing fits whenever something happens is NOT the way to do it. It's OK to get pissed off, but not to take it off the track and into another team's pit.
  11. F'n finally! EDIT: A thought... Do you think they're using some of the 'Vette's suspension? Or does GM have another IRS vehicle they can pull from? It seems kinda of a bad idea for a cash-strapped company to design and build a whole new IRS.
  12. Maybe I should start running 93 instead of 94.......
  13. BBC America airs them one season behind, and chops stuff out to fit an American format. You're missing a lot if you just watch the american releases.
  14. Wish I had known about this before I pre-reg'd for the OVR autoX.
  15. Thanks to everyone for the compliments. It's the 26th, and registration starts at 10am, so we should leave at 8am ish. To Smoke and Mirrors Raceway
  16. People have definately noted that the car is lighter and more susceptable to crosswinds on the highway without the wing. But ultimately, I *like* it. So I'm keeping it.
  17. Yeah, the stock bezels are great intakes on the 06/07s. The airbox is open to the fender well if you remove the silencer. The open bezel funnels nice cool air into the fender for it. With the bezel off it almost looks like it was designed that way.
  18. Because Human flesh actually tastes REALLY GOOD to Lions/Tigers. Dunny why, but that's the case. When one of them gets a taste of human flesh, they have to shoot it or it'll start stalking humans.
  19. Hmm.. I don't know a lot about DSM suspension, so I can't recommend specific parts. (Now if you had a subaru... ) But you don't want to lower it too much. Macpherson strut suspensions don't like to be lowered a lot; you'll fall out of the sweet spot of the camber curve and your rollcenter will drop too low. Sways are always good.
  20. Will this car become a dedicated track car? Or do you plan to DD it?
  21. Wondering why it looks SO GOOD? It's not rice if it actually works: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v292/toodef/aero/lift.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v292/toodef/aero/airflow3.jpg
  22. Oh yeah, I remember that. Took the flatbed guy forever to drag that bike out.
  23. Thanks guys. Yeah, this was just north of the dam. We tried to get pics at the downstream side on the other side of the river, but with the angle of the sun and the car being so clean, he couldn't get any detail without washing everything else out.
  24. Had Andy (AudiOn19s) detail the STI Tuesday and had a friend photo it today. The car looks great. My friend and I had to bail on our first picture location because the car was too shiny! http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3224/2675973790_7b371087c1_o.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3228/2675974462_01bcff37c7_o.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3269/2675975198_9e901d2727_o.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3292/2675976748_236402689a_o.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3073/2675166665_3fc992c32d_o.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3180/2675980704_40e9eeff82_o.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3256/2675161355_d49614d686_o.jpg
