  1. Those blind crests into turns will be funny to watch.
  2. I can't believe you just... I mean.. What the.. http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jl6qPvd3WFI/UE5uOBW--jI/AAAAAAAAM14/HHgHpAKHIhw/s1600/head-explode.jpg I know this guy with a razor that wants to talk to you, goes by the name of Occam.
  3. LOL. I remember that show. Sucks that they canceled it after only one season.
  4. I don't understand people who decry the touchscreen voting machines as unrealiable and too easy to tamper with, then turn around and say they'd rather use a paper punch or scantron system. ALL of those systems are fed through computers. ALL are capable of being tampered with at the database level. If anything, the older versions are easier to tamper with because you believe your vote is being recorded the way you wanted, but the sheet of paper with your vote on it is no longer in your possession. And do you REALLY think that if someone was rigging the machines they'd SHOW your vote being changed?? Please.. Why show the changed vote when you can have the person press the vote they want (or punch, or fill-in, btw) and then record the vote as the choice you want? It's moronic to have it change the vote on the screen where it would get someone's attention. No, what's happening here is that some nose-picking moron put their slime-covered finger on the screen, leaving a damp print behind. Or the attendants used too much cleaning solution to clean the screen, leaving some water at the edges. The end result is that the next person who touches the screen get their print averaged with the wet print and the computer thinks they're touching the screen somewhere between. If you've ever used your touch-screen phone with wet fingers, you know how it can screw up the screen response. The idea that there is some conspiracy that's programmed the machines to change the vote on the screen is utterly laughable.
  5. Someone needs to make a voiceover for this video using Kimi's "Leave me alone, I know what I am doing.":lolguy:

  7. Looks cooler without the body. :fuckyeah: There's a new device being used in NHRA. If the engine blows, it immediately deploys the chutes and cuts power to the fuel pumps and magnetos. (not that that matters much to one of these engines, but still) There was an article in Racecar Engineering about it. Pretty cool stuff. The big benefit is that it can deploy the chutes even if the initial kaboom knocks the driver out.
  8. It's fucking cliques. One group doesn't like another. Add guns and bombs, and you get this. It's stupid. If people weren't getting killed, it'd be a reality tv show on Mtv.
  9. Bed Bath and Beyond believe it or not.. But any candy store should sell them. Still nomming..
  10. These things: http://cdn.nuts.com/images/auto/510x340/assets/721d9a036ae60638.jpg I bought a box the other day because I hadn't had them for a while and I cna't stop eating them.. OM NOM NOM NOM NOM.
  11. Not sure what series, but the car was at SEMA. The thing is, in order for the car to have a supercharger in that series, the supercharge must be available to the public. So it's pretty much confirmed that there will be a TRD supercharger. Whether it will come on the car or just be offered as an aftermarket add-on is up in the air.
  12. I just found out that the woman was a friend of a friend. She started talking about how her friend was just killed by a drunk driver and I realized it was the same accident. That sucks.
  13. This is what happens when you cross immature highschool drama with military weaponry. You know how super villains sometimes want to conquer the world "to bring order to chaos"? Stuff like this makes me think they're on to something....
  14. Yup, saw one of these in action. If someone has one of these and wants your car, it'll be gone in 30 seconds.
  15. Sorry I didn't make it to the hangout. I got lost and we decided to head home. QSL was fun.
  16. For performance, well there's the debate between turbo and super. But it's been revealed that there's a development FR-S at Toyota with a KERS system in it!
  17. I believe the two-tone paint is just to illustrate what the kit includes. The "pocket-style" flares are kind of cool, IMO. I like the semi-utilitarian look to them, as well as the cut-outs at the backs of the fenders. I'm not big fan of cutouts in the front, which was one thing I was disappointed about with the Rocket Bunny kit. But I think a mix n match with these fenders, different lip, skirts and rear valence/diffuser, then a functional rear wing would look pretty good.
  18. So.. the track car is still a possibility. But then... http://www.ft86club.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=19556&stc=1&d=1351884466 http://www.ft86club.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=19557&stc=1&d=1351884466 http://www.ft86club.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=19558&stc=1&d=1351884466 http://www.ft86club.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=19559&stc=1&d=1351884466 Those are NEGATIVE offset wheels btw, 18x11-5 in the front and 18x12-30 in the rear.
  19. Shit like this just pisses me off. The law is way too lenient on DUIs. It's the same as waving a loaded gun around a shopping mall. The car should be siezed and auctioned off with the proceeds going to a fund for victims of drunk drivers. Hopefully this guy gets taken apart in jail.
  20. I run SSDs in my gaming rig. Other than the fans, my computer has no moving parts. However, you know how some games have tips in the loading screens? Well the load times are so short I never get to
  21. What do you call an angry man with a gun? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Sir.
  22. Because the real street racers are smart enough to not want evidence of what they are doing on national TV.
  23. Looks shopped. ..not complaining.
