:nws: If the people want boobs, I say give them boobs! :nws:

They also have nitrous systems too. There's a good reason for a third channel.

Extremely cool. I'd be scared to even shake their hand. Those guns weigh, according to the announcer, over 10lbs and they're spinning them around and catching them with one hand. Those guys must have incredible grip strength.

I was kind of hoping it was for two players. Kinda unfair to have one person play both parts.

OP: Check your IMs please.

Mid to high 12s with my driving.

Off topic but: This thread reminded me of something. A long time ago a friend and I were talking and we wondered if you could overnight a car from Japan to the US. So we called FedEX. They directed us to their freght department and the guy there said that they couldn't do it overnight. BUT they could do 2-day air and for a 3000lb curb weight it'd be roughly $30,000. On topic. You can get covered delivery for a bit more, but I think the most you'll pay for white-glove treatment across the country is about $2500. Makes you wonder why dealerships charge $5K+ over list for cars when you can search the country for a dealership willing to deal and have the car shipped.

Wow.... Just.. wow. And to think, someone had to come up with that idea...

I think there's plenty to cram into one film. Dunno about a series.. Start with the people and cars. Show some of the faster cars and what makes them fast, and how the owner did it. Cover the different types of cars. From deceptively quick DDs, to tubbed-out "street legal" racers, to high power sports cars, home-tuned boost buggies, and nimble little racers. Then show the cars in action. From Drag Racing, to Auto-X, Rally-X, and track days at Mid-Ohio. In-car footage a must. Get together with some of the organizers to get "behind the scenes" footage. And you can wrap it up with the guys hanging out at a parking lot, like a car-show. Or even something silly like having all these hard-core racers playing around on the go-carts at Magic Mountain. Though it's CR: The Movie, it doesn't have to have ONLY CR members in it. You can expand it to the things CR members do and enjoy and make it essentially "What to do if you're a car guy/gal in Columbus." I think the trick will be not to take a Moral High Ground and make it sound like a PSA about illegal street racing. But to assume the viewer knows about street racing and show them the "other side" of CR, where we go balls-out and don't have to give a shit about cops or slow traffic. I think it's a cool idea, and should be fun. EDIT: Try to make it like those skiing or surfing movies... GOtta look up the guy's name who makes 'em...

Happy Zombie Day!

Part it out and look into an 03 WRX. Or another option is to go the disposeable car route. Get a junker for $500 and get rid of it after a year. Cheaper than payments and you can either hold onto the DSM and work on it, or part it out and save for something nicer. But overall, it sounds like the DSM isn't being any fun for you and is only costing you money. Like a girlfriend that's a constant drain on your wallet, it's time to make her someone else's problem and look for something more reliable.

750 is the appropriate idle for the boxer 4. As said above, 02 and early 03 transmissions were kind of weak under WRX or higher power. But if you don't beat on it, you should be fine with a N/A car. The rumble is due to the unequal length headers. It's kind of a "Harley-effect." I love the sound, but equal length headers will pretty much eliminate it if you don't like it.

I love the stretched and slammed look. Mind, I'm a bike n00b, but how does a bike like that ride on the streets? Useless? Or just slightly uncomfortable?

Hmm... Something LSx powered, but with a good suspension. So probably a C5 or later 'vette. The new G8 might be a possibility if it has an independant rear. But it's such a porker..

I'm keeping my HD-DVD drive and Movies. No need to lose money and buy them all over again. Just because the format won't be used in the future doesn't mean it'll stop working.

I stand corrected. Well, sit corrected. Still, the US has been an English-speaking country for well over 200 years. I think that's a viable precedent.

Just make sure that you get the brake caliper option.

Um... They probably sell the same fan and instructions to multiple countries. Even if they only export to our neighbors, that's Spanish and French to add to the instructions right there. However, I applaud the restaurant and the council that upheld the sign. This is the US. Our national language is English. If I were going to live in another country, I would DAMN well learn the national language. I dunno about those that refuse to learn english, but it scares me to think that I wouldn't be able to say "I think I have internal injuries" to an EMT. http://smartmortgageadvice.files.wordpress.com/2007/03/pulp_fiction_jules.jpg

1975 here. I knew I was getting old when I heard "Welcome to the Jungle" played as a Classic Hit on the radio.

Those two monster trucks almost came up short at one point.

Wow, they're still around? I remember when that program was free in a web interface. Looks a lot better though. Gotta know your math to hit your target if that's anything like the old one.

A turbo that big for Auto-X? How are you going to keep it spooled? Or will its monstrous size act like a flywheel?

Ok, THAT should work just fine. Just leave the silencer in the fender in place.

They have tours. I went and it was pretty cool The only thing they didn't show was the driveline/suspension being installed. No cameras allowed inside either.
