It's a good thing you didn't buy the '04 Spec-V. They really screwed it up. The frontend of the car is now ugly as are the rims. Let me find pictures to prove my point. '03 '04 If you want a better shot of the '03s rims check out the picture of my car.

My old Jeep could have taken a 5mph hit with no problem. Actually it did a bunch of times when off roading. I accidentally ran it into trees and other things obstacles several times. The bumper was actually steel and it had 2 large rubber bumpers on it that would help to take some of the...

Got my drive today. After I finish reading the rest of the new threads I am going to install it.

I know for a fact that my bladder holds a lot more than 8oz of liquid. I was driving back to Madison about a month ago and I got caught in some horrible traffic on I-90. I was stuck in the traffic for so long that I finally decided to pee in a bottle. The bottle held 20oz. I filled up the...

Actually Blake I think most new cars are made almost entirely of plastic. There are still some parts that are metal: doors, hood, trunk, roof, frame, engine. The reason that plastic is widely used is because it is cheap, easily molded, and much lighter than steel or aluminum. My car weighs...

Mountain Dew has a lot more caffeine than Coke or Pepsi. In 12oz containers Mountain Dew has 55.5mg caffeine, Coke has 34.5mg, and Pepsi has 37.5mg. Though a standard cup of brewed coffee has around 135mg. Hmm...sometimes massive quantities of beer will mess with my bowel movements, but it...

When I had my '97 Mustang GT I got it up to 136mph on I-80 in Illinois. The car might have gone faster than that but the traffic was getting kind of heavy so I decided to slow down. The fastest I have had my new car up to is 110mph.

USB 1.1? Sounds kinda slow...

My sister has the the low model '95 Escort and it maxes out at about 85mph. At this speed the car starts to shake fairly badly. The Escort ZX2 is not as bad as other Escorts, but it's not that fast either.

I just spent the last 2.5 hours laying in bed unable to sleep, and now it's 7AM. I think it has something to do with the 3 Mountain Dews I drank before I tried to fall asleep. Maybe some minesweeped will help me fall asleep...

I don't think those are available over here in the States.

There are plenty of cars that would not be safe in an accident such as anything less than 3000lbs. My Sentra only weighs 2700lbs and I don't think it would fare very well in a collision with a Ford Excursion or some huge monstrosity like that. At least I have a lot of air bags if that ever...

I only will post pictures of my car when it is clean. It is really dirty now so I will have to wait until next week when I get it washed again.

I agree with Merc on this one. Whenever I have worked on laptops/notebooks the IBM ones are the easiest to work on and the easiest to fix. Plus they break a lot less than other brands. I would still buy an Apple notebook if I were buying one right now. They are just so much cooler than...

Only if you get caught...

I thought it was you who had the car for the night.

There were vendors in the past that sold laptops with linux as the operating system. Check out http://www.nextcomputing.com for instance. There aren't nearly as many now as there were the last time I checked though. Eventually one of the bigger names will start offering linux instead of...

Clocker, why aren't you in the pictures with the girls?

I used WinDVD to play the high quality version. Worked good.

And he gave it to you for free in '98? If so that was a great deal.

I remember when I bought my first CD burner and it was $350 for a 2X drive. That would have been in 1996 or 1997, I can't remember for sure.

I just got the same deal you did. 160GB drive with an online $30 rebate and a $40 mail-in-rebate from Maxtor. So $149.98 for the drive plus $.40 for a pencil = $150.38 - $30 instant rebate - $40 MIR = $80.38 + sales tax I think. It's a pretty good deal for a 160GB drive though. I wonder if...

That hurts my brain.

Where can I find this rebate/coupon? Do I have to do it instore or can it be shipped?

Planned obsolescence is a great thing isn’t it? In cases like this it is most likely time to break out Kazaa Lite and see what you can find for a little better price.

Not quite. Salad tossing is mainly practiced by homosexual males.

Did Time disappear like all those other people who finally reached 1000 posts?

One question. Why is batman fighting the predator?

Doug, your car looks like a classy piece of work. You even have navigation. That would be very nice. I've gotten my car upto 110mph. And I've raced it around a few times (beat an Integra a few weeks ago). I never drive slow, so I guess I am always stretching it's legs. I got my first oil...

Where is everyone? There just don't seem to be many people around this week. Is everyone on vacation or something?

Hopefully it will last at least 5 years. Because that's how long my loan is for; and that is approximately how long my warranty will last.

Hey it's possible. You can never tell what the future will hold.

Haven't even gotten pulled over yet. Hopefully it will stay that way.

I finally took a picture of my car. Lemme know what you think.

I thought it was biatch...

Ya, I know. I was trying to find some jazz, but it is super hard to find. All I could find was the more popular stuff. If you know where to get some of Ben Sidran's music let me know...

Mercutio- The thing is that most people don't even care how good their music sounds. A lot of people can't tell the difference between their giant KHL speakers they bough at BestBuy for $99.99 and my NHT speakers that cost over $800. As long as the music has a lot of bass the masses think...

Check out this article about what one guy thinks should happen with the record industry. Sounds like a good idea to me.

Liam, I know what you are talking about (it has happened to me), but I never found a solution to that problem. Although I do remember someone posting a link to the MSKB article a long while ago.

I was at the Berlin Zoo in June and took several pictures there. The Berlin Zoo is the largest zoo in the world with over 13,000 animals. We stayed there for about 5 hours and didn't even come close to seeing everything. The pictures were taken with a Canon digital Elf S200. Not all of them...

I spent the last couple of hours just trying to find a company that actually has a truck that is available from August 13th until August 15th. I have to drive 70 miles to get one. There isn't anywhere in Central Wisconsin that will have a truck when I need it. I am getting a 16ft Ryder truck...

I just decided that moving is horrible. I don't have to be out of my apartment until August 14th at noon, but I have started going through all the crap that has built up over the last 11 months and it is simply astounding. I have filled up 3 of the 30 gallon black garbage bags with sh*t...

A couple of things I don't like about Firebird. There may be a way to fix these problems, but I didn't figure it out in less than thirty minutes so I gave up. 1) When I type a new address in the address bar and hit enter it does not appear in a new tab; rather it replaces the site I am...

I'm not trying to start up any more arguments on this topic. However, if Honold left because of that one comment then it is fairly obvious to me that he was on the verge of leaving this site well before Mercutio made his fated comment. I don't know what the deal is with people leaving after...

I have had a TI-85 since 8th grade. Best damn calculator ever. Granted most of the keys don't pop back up on their own, but it still works perfectly for me. The only thing I do with it anymore is simple addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. All the college math classes I took...

So Merc will you be able to get broadband in Hobart?

NyQuil is supposed to be a cold medicine, it just is for the night, and it makes you sleep really well.

I've used NyQuil a couple of times, the problem with it is that sometimes its effects last a bit too long. One time I thought it would be a good idea to take a double dose of it when I needed to get to sleep. I slept about 16 hours and about 8 hours too long. Even a single dose can be quite...

I'm only 21 and I have seen the Scorps in concert. "Don't Stop at the Top" is my favorite song though.

That's weird all you other people keep getting more service for less price and my cable company keeps giving us less service for more price. The last cable bill I got was $101.70. This included a cable modem at 768/128. And digital cable with no HBO or Showtime or any other extra channels...
