My old car I took it off. Got pulled over 4 times in the course of 3 days. Plate went back on. I'd love them to get rid if the front plate law, but I don't see it happening anytime soon.

I noticed the change when it went over to spring blend over winter blend. As my car isn't some super fast street monster, it's only a small gain. But it was still noticeable. As I'm tuned on 'summer corn', it's basically just leaning out more as the blends increase from winter to spring to summer. Of course, I daily my car too and usually fill up around 1/4-1/2 tank of fuel. So it takes awhile before I'm running a straight blend. It's all in the tune.

Really? I figured it'd still be on spring blend after how fucked up our winter was. This is good news, I need to retune.

Wait a few years. Going to have some Cummings Toyotas coming out, trucks and cars.

Game have any replay value? I have a hard time spending $60 on something that will sit on a shelf after I beat it.

I use mechanic gloves for work. They usually last maybe 2-3 months before they end up ripping.

Nice. Poe just makes me think of the following now.

Bump. $150

Sold!

Sold Also got my old laptop for sale at following thread http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/showthread.php?t=110581

Aw no love for the random guy on the side of the road? While I understand the whole, survival of our group type of thing. I would have thought giving the inevitable fight against the governor coming up, they would have stopped. Was kind of neat/sad in a way to see his remains at the end and even how they stopped and took his gear. I liked how Morgan came back, though the 'crazy' Morgan was kind of weird, it's still cool they finally answered what the hell happened to him. I doubt that's the last we will see of him. Still, it was nice to get a solid episode away from the Prison (getting some farm syndrome here) and see them out and about. Plus no Andrea in it, who with Lori now dead (I still can't get over how happy I was about that), has become my new hate.

Ah my bad. Honestly not sure why I thought it was awd now that I think of it. Little research shows Ford has been working on trying to do it, but even the 2015 model, America probably wont see, will be fwd too.

Don't get Eibachs.

Specifically the WRX (of course), Genesis Turbo, and heck even the GTI. I read the comparison between the ST and the GTI in Motortrend the other day and even with the wide power difference, the ST only had a .1 second fast 1/4 mile time. Most the stock dynos for the thing are putting about 230whp and its pretty heavy for a small car (3200lbs). When the RS was announced, I was really excited. I even managed to see one down at OSU and it was truly a neat car. Add in the 300hp+ and awd, even the stupid crazy colors. Not trying to bash the ST at all, it's not terrible for the price it is. When you look at the ST2 (which seems what most people buy) interior and options, it actually beats most competitions out the park. Though I do think the ST3 is overpriced as shit for what it is. I just found the power to be disappointing. It would have been nice to see Ford really set the bar with the ST. Oh and the 'fake exhaust' thing is stupid.

My daily is a Hyundai Elantra, so no.

Pity Ford didn't bring the RS over instead. I think the STs are interesting, but numbers I keep seeing are pretty disappointing compared to similar priced cars.

Selling my old laptop. This thing is 6 years old, so it's got some ware and tear but when we bought it was one of the better laptops out there. We paid $2,086 for this brand new. Info on it: Dell Inspiron E1505 Processor: Intel Core Duo T2250 (1.73GHz, 2MB L2 Cache, 533MHz FSB) Operating System: Windows Vista Screen: 15.4 inch Wide Screen XGA Display with Truelife (Glossy) Memory: 2GB Shared Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 533 MHZ, 2 DIMM Video Card: 256MB ATI Mobility Radeon X1400 HyperMemory Harddrive: 120GB 5400rpm SATA Hard Drive Wireless Card: Intel PRO/Wireless 3945 a/g Battery: 85 Whr 9-cell Lithium Ion Primary Battery This thing has every 'high' option that was available at the time. I have the original receipt from the package and the original order shipment receipt. I can give any more information if needed.

Buyer can test it out before hand to make sure it's not broke if you don't trust me. Now that you're interested, here's all the bad stuff. As I said, this thing is 6 years old and has followed me through college, multiple apartments, driving over the road, and so on. I'll try to list everything I can think of. The two pieces that adjust when you open or close the screen are loose (maybe broke?). So if you have it in your lap and shake it a bit, the screen will move back and forth a bit. The laptop doesn't come apart or anything, just kind of annoying. The laptop either has a broken fan in it or just needs a really good inside cleaning. It tends to overheat quite a bit, especially while playing videos which can start it to slow down a bit. I found using a laptop cooling pad helped fix the problem pretty well. The battery is on its last leg. On 'high performance' mode, it'll last maybe 45 minutes or so. These laptops are known for the batteries being pieces of shit (this is my 3rd one) and the replacements are pricey. So I usually just left it plugged in. The thing is kind of dirty. Theirs dust/crumbs/god knows what else in between some of the keys. Theirs brown dots on the right side (from bug spray oddly enough) and so on. I'll try to clean it to best of my ability before the buyer picks it up, but can't guarantee perfection. Some parts are faded out a bit, stickers gone and so on. Typical stuff. The CD drive doesn't work really well. Occasionally works flawless and sometimes won't read/burn CDs at all. When you plug it in to charge, the charging cord has a tendency to pop out very easily. Cruising between Ebay/Amazon I found these things seem to sell for about $300-$500 in decent condition. Most of these were bare bones versions. I'm asking $200 cash OBO as a starting point. Will include laptop, charger, and anything else I can find relating to it. Located just outside of Canal Winchester Ohio (officially Lancaster). I can meet within a decent distance. I would prefer not to ship this.

Whether the kid is an oops or not. It's still your kid. Time to grow up and focus on raising him/her, not worrying about modding cars when you're already broke. Sell it and grab something reliable.

I'd go on one bad ass vacation. Then I'd go back to school. Only reason I don't go back to school right now is cause I owe so much already.

I had Rob at gear head do my first exhaust for the tupperwear. He did a great job and gave a great price for it too. My buddy also had him do his jeeps exhaust. Came out great. http://gearheadbuilt.com/

Grats and thanks for your service. Don't rule out school. I'm almost 40k in debt from college while my brother (former navy) owes nothing.

Thats just nuts. Hope he makes some damn good money for that.

E85 goes back to summer blend (over 80%) in May I believe. Right now it's on winter blend which is around 70, do that make car less of a pita to start in winter. I daily on e85 and you can notice the difference in blends. Mostly car runs richer and obviously lose some power during the winter/spring. Here's the chart with blend changes. http://www.e85mustangs.com/regions123.html

I liked the episode for the most part. Though I did find the whole Maggie getting pissed at Glen thing stupid. He tries to comfort her and she flips out? Hoping now that the Governor took the first step and attacked the prison, we might see some more action and less talking the rest of the season.

Shitty situation. Hope more bloodshed is avoided, but I'm sure it'll come down to a shoot out. I don't understand why he feels violence is the only answer to all this, hell if he sent that manifesto without the 'I kill you' parts, some reporter would feel inclined to investigate it. Once public here's of it, a lot of internal affairs shit would go down. Just a bad situation.
