  1. You forgot 2 You can't find a treg with a V8 for under 10k. Won't happen. They are just now going on 6 years old. You can't even get a XJ that's 6 years old for that price. Bazinga! Still LMK when you wana fix the cars. I'm sure I can get it done cheap. To ask a Jetta/Passat to be a clunky off roading beast would be the same thing as asking the XJ to be a smooth, agile and quick road going vehicle. Purpose built.
  2. Nowhere near the capability my ass. Lets go play. I'll get the V8 treg with air susp and 19" A/S tires and you get your XJ/WJ/IDKJ with similar tires. ***Edit, the Treg has center and rear locker factory. Also Jones, the new T3 touaregs do NOT have a selectable transfer case. Hardly any Tregs get off road which is why you don't see any on 30+" tires. There are some out there, but they're all over the planet and people love to wheel in em. You've had bad luck with your cars Yenner, and you said so yourself they were under maintained. Under maintain + ANY turbo car = bad.
  3. W8's suck. Every one I've seen come through the dealership I work at shop door has had major issues. No one takes care of these things because they're hogs. You would be better off with an abused B5 S4 avant, and have more fun. The Leg GT gets my vote for sure, unless you go B5 S4... This coming from a VWAG guy...
  4. What you didn't see was shortly after the film stopped rolling did the disco have catastrophic cooling system failure which caused the engine to assplode. And all the electrical components decided to break simultaneously. Jones, you haz 3 rides and no wife?
  5. That's exactly what I have. GREAT beginner heli, parts are cheap and easy to come by and they're very easy to fix (and fix quickly) and learn on/fly.
  6. LOL true. You get the wife A/T tires and next thing you know she'll be out muddin with "the boys".
  7. I'd rather get all terrain tires. Cheaper and most work as well as winter rated tires in snow. V10's are nice, but literally twice as much as the V8 and the only difference in this V8 and the V10TDI is the engine, every other option is there.
  8. I can borrow your q7 wheelz/tires for mah v8 treg with center and rear diff lock?
  9. Check your contract and see if they have a way to weasel out of not having to fix it immediately/reimburse your for alternative accommodations. If they don't contact them ASAP and tell them you have ZERO heat and they need a crew out post haste. If they cannot get a crew out there then you will be occupying a hotel with similar accommodations as your apartment/condo (aka a suite with kitchen, etc) and will be footing the bill...
  10. quoted because you don't get what I said. What I took from what you originally said was that the part behind the cat should be colder than the rest of the exhaust. You are correct in saying that for the reasons I stated. But what you said is easily misinterpreted as the cat should/could glow cherry red just because it gets warmer than the rest of the exhaust when that is wrong. It only glows cherry red when there is an uncontrollable amount of hydrocarbons getting into the exhaust system that is not being burned off in the combustion cycle. Obviously what I wrote is misinterpreted as well if you pick pepper out of fly shit as most people on the interwebz do. Hope this clears the air.
  11. Red cat =/= to clogged cat. red cat means the catalyst material is burning hotter than it should usually because of wayy overfueling. Also, cat's should be warmer than the rest of the exhaust for two reasons. 1: it's closer to the engine than the muffler's. 2: it's performing a chemical reaction to burn off unburned hydrocarbons that didn't get ignited in the combustion cycle. Try to take out your pre-cat oxygen sensor if the car is chugging along, that should allow enough exhaust gasses to escape for the car to run better than it was.
  12. I still for the life of me cannot get gold in 2 of the B license events. A, IB, IA, I'm fine with but these two are kicking my ass. The one is with the Pugeot at Tsukuba and the other is the next test at Nurburgring GP track. Examples don't even get close to the gold time... I can get within .050-.070 of getting gold on the first but about .500-.800 on the second. Any pointers?
  13. We will go ahead and put that theory to the test, I'll let you stay unbuckled and I will keep mine on. As for people not facing as much injury when being ejected than staying in the car, buy a safer car. As for broken bones from the seatbelt or a gash on the head... 1: a head injury is still a head injury and 2: modern seatbelts are far superior to archaic 3 point/2point belts. Pretensioners pull you into the seat as opposed to let your body slam into the belt/bag.
  14. I've got a few grips with this... Not saving my configurations is a big one. Another is I've bought items from the tune shop and did not install them (tires), watch the money get deducted and go do some races, go to a race that requires the tires that I bought and they're not there. Third is the used cars. When I started the game there were some cars I would have liked to have bought, I go back to the used car section and they're gone. What the hell is the point in having the used car inventory of something I cannot buy yet, just to take it away? Last is the license tests. There are some that are just so damned hard to get gold in. If you go and watch the example of them, NONE of the examples can get gold. What use is an example if it doesn't show you how to do it perfectly? I'm sure I'll find more irritations. Like the lack of amount of races, and variety of races, etc. My ps online ID is RAWFUL_C0PT3R maybe without the underscore.
  15. I've got an e-flite IIRC. no tail rotor. I think somethings bent though because it doesn't fly "square" they're supposed to be able to hover when you set the controller up proper and mine doesn't so it sits in the box. I've got too much money dumped into damned RC vehicles.
  16. Thought I saw the car at O'Reileys on 3 just outside of westerville last night or the night before.
  17. I was standing next to Joe at work when he got a call from his wife saying you were in an accident and was sure your car was totaled. At least your safe and the car did its job to protect you.
  18. I JUST got this given to me. The update is installing now after downloading for about an hour, still installing... That's taking about half an hour. I'm excited, I've also got the force feedback steering wheel, but nowhere good to use it in my living room yet. So what's everyones usernames for PS online? I don't remember mine off the top of my head haha.
  19. Do you recall if the plate was a paratrooper plate? The one that was in Byers a few weeks ago had one, he was in for just regular maintenance.
  20. Lots of deaths this month. His movies were great and he'll be missed dearly by many.
  21. Best peaches in Ohio are grown in Clyde at Eshleman's fruit farm.
  22. I'm from Fremont which is about 30 minutes away. That town's going downhill, but there are lots of smaller towns surrounding Sandusky that are very nice and quiet... but fairly isolated from "civilization". I saw you mentioned Bellvue, I almost bought a house there but couldn't get the job at the local train yard I wanted.

    Passing the word

    His multiple grammatical errors, along with the complete lack of knowledge about vehicles. "This is a 96 Firebird formula 6 speed lt1 car with 88 mila liter rear mount turbo system has a stage 4 south bend clutch also, a hersh short throw shifter it was tuned by dyna tune it made 490 hp and 475 pounds of tork it has c5 corvette wheels street e t drag radials the car it tuned to run e 85.

" 88 mila liter turbo hersh short throw shifter tuned by dyna tune 475 pounds of tork IDK what tork is, but 475 pounds of it it seems like a lot of unnecessary weight.
  24. I have nothing to do with this car. Saw a friend post it on facebook and bashing it, thought I would share. http://columbus.craigslist.org/cto/2078410881.html
