    Lifetime Transmission Fluid

    Just changed the tranny fluid again on my 98 Cavalier (last one was 3 years / 35k ago) and noticed a huge difference.

    Anyone notice the abundance of Audi-style DRL lately?

    Ugh. The ones made by Umnitza keep burning out and/or winking.

    Is a side intake fan blowing on the videocard pointless now that cards are enclosed and draw air from the front?

    Have never been a fan of sidevents. Much prefer a good seal with front to back flow.

    Scavenging a CPU for Windows Home Server

    Whichever you can get a better mobo for. CPU doesn't matter - more what the mobo offers (# SATA ports, PCI slots, etc.) That's the reason I splurged on an ABIT AB9 Pro + C2D back in the day.

    6versus8

    Sounds like the AJ-V8 variant in my Lincoln LS. Rated 18 city, 25 highway.

    Goodyear Eagle GT

    Like them so far. Got them for a relative song on TireRack. Wasn't about to put no Bridgestone Pole Positions on a 98 Cavalier :laugh:

    Float charger recommendations?

    Schumacher electric is an old standby. I have two of these in the garage (you can get 'em at Wallyworld) : http://store.schumachermart.com/ssc-1500a.html

    Girlfriend FU**ED UP MY Core i7 920 to 3.8ghz

    We aren't psychics. You need to start OCing from scratch (adjust RAM timings, uncore clock, Vcore, Vdimm, etc.) and test.

    Why there aint multi CPU mobos?

    Try that with a Thunderbird / Duron. Your oops time is ~1s.

    any reason I should upgrade?

    Forget the 3yo CPU. My E6600 is sitting on a Rev 1.0 965P-DS3 :D X800GTO, X1950XT, 8800GTS (G80), 4850 and now 4890 - all on the same CPU/mobo and have been running like a champ!

    any reason I should upgrade?

    Not really. But have you considered possibly dropping down to a 5850 and either saving the difference or spending it on upgrading the CPU/mobo/ram/etc?

    It's ON... Bob Lutz: Bring what stock sedan you have, and race me and the CTS-V

    I <3 the CTS-V. Setting my sights on one once I give up the 06LS.

    New electric fan, without blades

    Dyson == MegaMaid?

    How fast was this Corvette going?!!

    I removed the 133mph speed limiter on my 06LS when I flashed it with an SCT X3, but haven't had the testicular fortitude to go that high yet :o

    People that drive at dusk while it's raining without their headlights on piss me off

    Why? As long as it's a proper HID (and not cheap ass ricer retrofits), it should be fine. :confused: Agreed on the blue (or even worse purple) though. I would never exceed 5000K.
