  1. So many dumbasses posting comments too.
  2. We watched them all yesterday. Took about 12 hours.
  3. I'm sure most of you have seen some of these, but I'll do a quick review. First is Dead Snow. It's a foreign zombie movie. It's been recommended to me by a couple different zombie fans I know. It's pretty much Zombie Movie 101. Group of friends going to a cabin in the mountains. Creepy-ness ensues. Then Nazi Zombies! This was a really enjoyable movie. Gorey without being gross, a good laugh to break things up when needed, and plenty of "oh shit!" moments. If you like zombie movies and don't mind subtitles, I highly recommend it. We watched it on Blu-Ray, but I believe it's on Netflix also. Next movie was Planet Terror, one of the Rodriguez/Tarantino Grindhouse movies. 70's exploitation zombie movie with all the ambiance you'd expect. Cheesy one-liners, beat-up "film", over-done blood packs, and enough cliche's to.. well.. fill a 70's exploitation movie. Military base wth biological weapons, Go Go dancer, mysterious hero, etc.. They even riff on modern anti-cliche's too. Very entertaining and well worth a watch. (We didn't watch Death Proof, so I can't comment on that yet.) Third of the day was Zombieland, and fourth was Shaun of the Dead. Two modern zombie classics that I don't think need much in the way of reviews. I'm sure pretty much everyone here has seen them. And if you havent, DO IT! At that point we ran out of zombie movies we wanted to see/take a risk on, and switched to asian westerns. :lolguy: The Good, The Bad, and The Weird. Very entertaining. It's an asian take on the Spaghetti western, with a healthy dose of absurdity. It's about a chase after a treasure map across Manchuria by the Weird (a two pistol wielding nutjob train robber), and the Bad (asian Emo badguy/mafia hitman), who are both being chased by the Good (bounty hunter good with rifles), with the Japanese Military, an underground black market gang, and a group of freedom fighters all joining in. This can be found on Netflix. And finally was Bunraku. Bunraku has the best cast of any movie you've never heard of. Ron Perlman, Woody Harrelson, Josh Hartnet and Demi Moore. And those of a more Otaku bent will recognize Gackt as well. It's a stylized movie set in the future where guns have been outlawed and the world has fractures into lots of smaller city-states. Sword fights, fist fights, gang warfare, and steampunk-ish tech rolled up into the western formula of a couple drifters showing up with their own scores to settle in a town run by a mafia-like badguy. Mix in some asian influence in a disgraced Master taking them under his wing, and some video game elements like a hierarchical boss structure, and you have a pretty good time. Another good Netflix find.
  4. Those guys need to get some cheap CB radios. They're SO much clearer than those little GMRS handhelds when you're inside a car.
  5. No Rambo Lambo, no care.

    Welcome to CR, feel the fucking love.. ..to the FACE.
  7. I was going to put UGR Lambo and a tuned GTR in that list, but I don't have an infinity key on my keyboard for the Lambo, and quantifying the GTR would have broken reality. :dumb:
  8. No pictures, but the description of what happened to him are really scary. "My head was the size of a basketball and my lips were like cucumbers" In short, really bad things happen to the human body when it's flung through the air at greater than the speed of sound.
  9. Assuming a "healthy" 200lb driver: Atom V8: 612 hp/ton Veyron: 542 hp/ton Yamaha R1: 549 hp/ton
  10. Planet Terror Dead Snow Zombieland and if we have time, Shaun of the Dead. (ZL and SotD may get switched, depends on what people feel like)
  11. Can I pick several? :nws:http://curiousphotos.blogspot.com/2009/09/miss-over-50-contest-in-las-vegas-17.html
  12. The Atom is amazing to watch. Every since car it comes up on, it just chews up and spits out. Passing is like flicking a switch with that car. The M600 is awesome. Chris Harris considers it a modern day F40. I love how at one point he calls it a "Millenium sodding Falcon" :lolguy:
  13. I'll be at the CRC&C Saturday. I have to start a zombie movie marathon around noon though, so I won't be staying much past 10.
  14. If someone buys that to haul a car, I'll gladly pass on the crown for Most Epic Towing Vehicle.
  15. 3 turbos is small time. How about 12 superchargers!

    CS:GO

    The accuracies were fine until beta 1.6. Then gooseman fucked with them because all the newbies were whining about getting killed by the experienced users. After that, you could come around a corner, empty a mag of a rifle into someone at 3 feet and have them survive. I lost interest at that point.

    CS:GO

    Are they going to use reasonable accuracies now, or are they going to stick with horribly inaccurate guns?
  18. Vettel is just not clicking with this new car. Hopefully Newey will figure out what's wrong and fix it. Podium will be Rosberg, Schumi, Hamilton Rosberg just has to stay in front and considering his past performance, Merc will do their best with him. Schumi doesn't have the killer instinct he used to. Hamilton does, but he won't be able to catch up to the Mercs. Ferrari is still floundering. Their aero guy is just not up to the level needed. He's either being held back by someone higher up, or he's just lost his edge and needs to step aside. The problem with the windtunnel really set them back, but they should be back up to speed by now. Especially now that the blown diffuser is banned. Merc's DDRS is killer, but only in Qualifying. It won't have as much of an effect in the race, and it'll be copied soon now that it's been declared legal. That decision is going to open a huge can of worms. Now that aero systems can legally be triggered by the DRS flap, everyone's going to be piping air all over the car.
  19. Won't be here this week. Have to work. But I will likely make next week's.
  20. Here's the Cobb dyno. I think they use a Mustang dyno, so it's not as flattering as the Dynojet that Insideline used: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=6032&stc=1&d=1333656727
  21. Not bad for a 2.0L N/A engine. It could stand to be supercharged, and I hope they (probably TRD) do in the future. However, I don't think turbocharging is the way to go with this car.

    There's a Cane's sandwich on the menu.
