I love the puzzled look I get from people when they see such a little car sounding like a diesel truck. :D

I love the look people give when you get some douche-bag in his Dad's Mustang GT or Corvette that gives you a smug look and then you lay waste to them when the light turns green. Or the guys in their Porsches that can't drive and you rape them on the track. Makes me smile... and laugh.

Way too many people are ignorant and naive for their own good, especially when it comes to driving their cars.

Oh man you're telling me, ESPECIALLY in a college town. It's horrible. One guy in a saturn with a modded exhaust, smoked lights, a complete diy roll cage revs his engine to redline as soon as he starts it to "warm it up". Every single time I leave for class. :crx:

are you mad he's smarter than you? the less time in warm up mode, the less time the piston rings are running with "cold" tolerances.

Bah ha ha. In our track cars we just idle them lean. Doesn't damage anything (as far as the teardowns suggest) and cuts warm-up to about a third of the time.

Speaking of that, what thermostat should I be using? I didn't even think of this until now. One came with the M-Tuned re-route kit but I have no idea what temps it's for.

Braineack 08-26-2010 12:48 PM

I only made it to 2:38. Robert Plant has lost every bit of his vocal range and power. He should have avoided cigarettes and alcohol to better preserve his instrument. What a shame.

Why do they stereotype themselves and then get mad when we point it out?

Oscar 08-26-2010 01:28 PM

Fuuuck, monday 8 hour trackday in a Dutch spec car and noone to take the car to and from the track with trailer. Plus we need to swap RR control arms, again.

I would volunteer my time if you were anywhere near me. Why are you swapping them again? Design flaw?

Thank you, Sideshow Bob. :)

I can't quite remember when exactly I got my first modem. Late 80s, I think. It was after I'd transitioned from the C-64 to an Amiga 500. External, 1200 baud.

The two BBSs I remember best from those days were Sanctuary of the Krasnians (625-CUBS) running C-net on an Amiga 2000HD, and the Cave of Atlantis, running Wildcat! on an x86 machine. There were a couple of others in 813, but those two were the big ones.

I wish I could remember the name of the board that was part of FidoNet. I used that one a fair bit as well.

I don't know if doing that in neutral with no load is actually better than just driving the car, but I could be wrong. I'm mostly mad because the car sounds like a really loud weedwhacker

No, RR alignment is on the fritz (.3 degrees toe out) after smacking the car into the barriers at 60+mph again. I didn't do it though.

turotufas 08-26-2010 03:13 PM

Ramble this dick...
 
Found a busted vacuum line, fixed it. Should explain the idle. But that doesnt explain why my car smelled like burnt to fuck clutch and tranny fluid. I don't care anymore. A new clutch is going in. Still acting up after the that I'm buying that damn Datsun roadster.

Edit: Its raining hard! And I hate this satellite! Acquiring satellite signal my ass!

Oscar 08-26-2010 03:15 PM

So the Puerto Rican gov't has decided to invalidate all birth certificates issued there as of Sep 30 and require everyone to get a new one. That's kind of a pain in the ass. Not for me (I'm not Puerto Rican), I just mean in general.

buffon01 08-26-2010 09:44 PM

Does that have anything to do with people forging these document to enter the U.S.?

Lolz however these aren't mariachis, they don't use accordions. This is that nortena style

Bryce 08-27-2010 12:39 AM

Why I'm Depressed

Over five thousand years ago, Moses said to the children of Israel , "Pick up your shovels, mount your asses and camels, and I will lead you to the Promised Land."

Nearly 75 years ago, (when Welfare was introduced) Roosevelt said, "Lay down your shovels, sit on your asses, and light up a Camel, this is the Promised Land."

Today, Obama has stolen your shovel, taxed your asses, raised the price of camels and mortgaged the Promised Land!

I was so depressed last night thinking about Health Care Plans, the economy, the wars, lost jobs, savings, Social Security, retirement funds, etc . . . I called a Suicide Hotline. I had to press 1 for English.

I was connected to a call center in Pakistan . I told them I was suicidal. They got excited and asked if I could drive a truck......

It's sad that we've been forced to become sheep and make the decision not to think of the atrocities that are turning our contry to shit. It's sad that no one person or group of people will ever be allowed to make a diffence for the better of the people because of the sheer amount of corruption and greed our government has become. I'd rather move out of this country.

And then our (North America as a whole) people frown on countries where there are groups like that and we label them as rebels and the enemy of the people.

You have to add in "I had to press 1 for English" It's funny, but it's ridiculous how true it is.
