I had 3, all gone now : /

Alright, so...should I scrap it for all of the $500 it's worth, or fix it, or what? isekii suggested a J30, which isn't a half-bad idea, if I can find one decently cheap. Anything else?

Well this one would be too, but the previous owner (my sister) didn't take care of it at all. I suspect some of the problems are her fault, but I didn't pay attention when she owned the car, so I dunno. Don't get me wrong, it runs, it's sorta-fast (transmission holds it back, though) and...

There's a couple of main issues and then a few little ones... The transmission's taking a hell of a long time to shift, it just hesitates while the engine revs, and finally when it shifts the car shudders and accelerates. I'm getting some really odd noises while turning at low speeds...

I've got an old, hand-me-down '91 Infiniti M30, and while I appreciate the hell out of it (free!), it's slowly coming apart, and I'm counting the days till it kicks the bucket. I've seen a number of car 'experts' here, so I figure ya'll could give me some advice; spend the time/money (neither...

Found the problem, fellas....A jumper fell off my MB and I didn't realize it until I went to plug in my headphones....I saw it lying on the modem I have installed and figured it wasn't a good thing to see it there. Put it back in its spot, and I have sound back!

Yeah, I feared as much. I did open the sucker up, but Creative decided to make it damned near impossible to get in to where the connectors are at. They're RCA jacks, and no amount of wiggling did anything. They're 2 years old, and Creative's warranty is 12 months, so apparently I just gotta...

I've got a set of Creative Inspire 5300 5.1s hooked up via Soundstorm and they've been workin pretty good. I say "been" cause about a week ago they started acting funny - I eventually lost all sound to the right-front speaker. The left, center and rear channels, as well as the sub, all function...

Refurb'd 19" MAG here (hey, it was $90, refurb'd or not), and until it kicks the bucket I won't be getting a new one. Even then I have 2 Dell CRTs lying around, 15" and 17". I probably won't ever buy an LCD - They just can't beat a good CRT without dropping a large amount of money, and even...

WTFpwnd :beer: for the troops

XP 1700+ Tbred B - Main box (had it up to 200x11, limited by my POS RAM) XP 2000+ Tbred A - Dad's box Duron 700 - PHP dev box Duron 1000 - Media box P2 233 - Not-working-yet *nix box P3 450 - No home for this lil guy yet

Buddy of mine in 3rd Infantry got sent over to Baghdad, but he didn't see combat. He did tell us that his (dont remember if he said platoon or company) played hide-and-seek in Saddam's palaces...lol. GL man.

If it's anything that can seriously hurt me or my car, I speed up or let him pass. I don't fsck with anything bigger than my car. Anything that's the same size or smaller, I'll speed up, tap my brakes, slam the brakes, and weave an inch or two side to side to let them know to back off. If...

M1A2 Abrams. Sure, you wouldn't blend in for crap, but NOBODY could touch you. Get some buddies to be the loader and gunner to keep the cops off you till you get to a big warehouse. Then pull that crap they did in 2 Fast 2 Furious (not really a spectacular movie, but the warehouse trick had...
