    Star Citizen: Chris Robert`s new space sim (the Wing Commander guy)

    Can't you just buy one of the smaller more general purpose ships and outfit it for mining or salvage?

    OMG massive performance increase....with a twist!

    Did you notice where I said that his tranny is probably a lock up, or a manual?

    So? Less throttle is less throttle, which in a non lock up tranny = less RPM.

    beat me to it. OPs tranny probably is a lock up auto (or a manual), but nevertheless it is possible.

    Mazda 3 clanging in rear of car

    This thread is a turbofail, and a prime example of why you shouldn't ask for mechanical advice on the Internet, especially on a computer forum. If you have nothing to add but this then stay out of the thread... Thread crapping... AT Moderator Bartman39

    I think I'm going to buy a Corvette

    It's significant enough for the GT500 to avoid the GGT, and the fact that the GT500 gets better mileage in town despite being MUCH heavier and better highway despite having way worse aero can't all be attributed to gearing. The 12 GT500 beats the ZR1 also, and it has 3.73s.

    Why would you get jumper cables instead of a jump starter?

    ditto. Jumper cables are one of the many items that you should never ever buy the cheapest one you can find.

    I think I'm going to buy a Corvette

    And look how it makes less power and gets significantly worse gas mileage than Fords 5.8, despite being in a car that's far lighter and more aerodynamic. And I'll take the Boss 302 over the LS3 every single day and twice on Sundays.

    Thoughts on this foxbody

    I'd love to have another fox coupe, but don't know if I'll ever have the room. I'm house shopping right now, if I manage to find a property that has a separate 2-4 car shop I'd almost certainly pick up another fox, but houses that have one are pretty few and far between and I doubt I'd shell out...

    Good roadtrip car?

    Worst road trip car I've owned: 70 GTO with leaking rear main seal. Closely followed by 1987 Mustang 5.0 with no A/C, shot fifth gear synchros, broken gas gauge AND broken speedometer, with honorable mention given to: 1984 Jeep CJ-7 with broken A/C. Best, If you care about comfort and gas...

    JLee's 1991 Toyota MR2 Turbo build thread

    How many cute little alcantaras have to die so that you people can have steering wheels? Will the slaughter never end?

    best buy cutting an additional 2,400 jobs, with about 600 of them being geek squad

    Hahaha, qft. I'll still be pretty sad though, I can wander around a BB for an hour or two killing time while the lady is off at more boring stores. Maybe they should start selling groceries on the side?

    Anyone upgrade to USB/Power outlets (U-Socket) in your home?

    Dont really see the point. You still need the cord, and AC/USB adapters are cheaper, portable, and more useful.

    You know what sucks? Having friends that are "poor"

    I haven't been to the theater since the first Sherlock, because movie theaters blow ass. If someone asked me if I wanted to go I'd either just say no or invite them over to watch something on my HT.
