  1. Now that you mention it, my helmet matches the tie I'm wearing perfectly.
  2. My cousin decided to get married on the day of the first points event. What an idiot.
  3. I need oil more than I need polar bears... just my $.02
  4. I bought a Logitech G25 about a month ago to play rFactor on my computer. $300 wheel, I found a used one for just over $100. It's one of the most addicting things I've ever purchased. If you want to play seriously on your cpu, I would highly recommend rFactor. Go here for more info: rFactorcentral.com
  5. I did the Favre/Jarret driving experience about 5 years ago at Kentucky Speedway. Not sure if it is even still in business. I chose that one because there is no lead car, only an instructor riding along (he has NO control over the car). It was a lot of fun, but honestly not as awe-inspiring as I expected. Maybe I'm crazy, but I get a bigger thrill from a 45s autox run in my miata :gay2:

    computer into tv?

    This seems kind of roundabout, but on this page, there is an HDMI to DVI adapter, then a DVI to component adapter... http://www.monoprice.com/products/subdepartment.asp?c_id=104&cp_id=10419
  7. Because I am lazy, and also because guessing games are fun... I would guess the rsx is an h-stock car, and the rsx-s is g-stock.
  8. Don't worry, my "zoom zoom" probably wouldn't even bust into the 16's at the drag strip I'm sure MrAutoX would be able to give the details on watching and riding...
  9. Ahh, good call. I skipped over the married part because... well... I don't care about that
  10. If I understand correctly, most people will not be affected negatively by this, as the tax tables will be changed along with the withholding tables... so you should get $400 more throughout the year, and owe $400 less at tax time. The only way you could owe more (or get less of a refund) is if you accidentally get to much throughout the year (aka, maybe you get $500 throughout the year, and owe $400 less). So, you are just paying back money you shouldn't have gotten.
  11. It says apple and is shiny, right? Sounds like it's worth $200+ to me
  12. She was also the host of spike TV's powerblock a long time ago. This is definitely the hottest I think she's ever looked in any photoshoot I've seen. I certainly wouldn't turn her down...
  13. When aliens go out cow tipping... they play rough.
  14. I owed federal $238, and I got $237 back from state... so no harm. I owe federal because I claim a "2" on my W-4. Look at it this way, a refund means you gave an interest free loan to the government all year, and now they are paying it back. I personally don't want those half-whits to get their grubby irresponsible little hands on any more of my money than I can help. If you go to the IRS website, you can do a calculator that will estimate what to claim on your W-4 in order to not owe.
  15. Do you know what the hardest part about rollerblading is? Telling your parents you're gay ...and this is coming from a miata driver...
  16. I think longer than 15 years ago, but yeah. Jim Bonaminio (sp?) is f'ing crazy. He pretty much just buys anything he thinks is cool, and finds a place for it... that includes the old monorail system from Kings Island.
  17. I grew up about 15 minutes from the Jungle. Awesome place for just about any ethnic or exotic food/beverage you could want. No idea if prices are good or bad (they certainly aren't a rip-off like whole foods), but the selection is beyond anywhere else I have seen. If you go, make sure you go to the restroom... you'll know why when you see it
  18. I won't be able to make the tnt, but any other time you're welcome to take a ride in my :gay2: mobile...
  19. I'd say that attending the tnt before the school would be a very good thing. The tnt is a very relaxed atmosphere, so a good chance to get your feet wet and get the feel for the car/navigating the cones without having the pressure/distractions of an event or school. Then at the school, you can focus more on driving and less on learning the basics of an autocross course/event. Also, there are always a lot of helpful people who would be more than willing to ride along and help you at the tnt. On top of that, my advice would be to attend anything and everything possible. No seat time is bad seat time, so just get out as much as you can, and get faster every time :burn:
  20. http://www.nocones.com/decalnocones.htm :thumbup:
  21. It looks like we have different approaches to our cone hatred. You like to warn them that you are coming... while I, on the other hand, run them over then taunt them as they watch me drive away :bangbang: http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f122/jjschafe/IMG_0323.jpg
  22. Watch the movie idiocracy... it pretty much explains what is happening to the world... http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0387808/
  23. Thank God Haha, I love when C5's push cones around in the front lip like that.
  24. Changing the supercharger puts you at least into SM, I believe.
  25. I don't hit cones... or lock up my front brakes. Ever. http://richard.safier.com/OVR/ovr1-2008/target304.html I used to use the "if you don't hit cones, you aren't driving fast enough" moto... until I had an event where I coned every run. Then I decided maybe driving a little slower wouldn't be a terrible idea...
