    Coolest Area of the House

    It's been over 100 degrees during the daytime all week here, and I've lost my key to the safe that has two eighths (quarter) of weed in it. Heat does degrade most drugs, especially the THC and CBD drugs in cannabis. Where can I keep the safe until I get a new key mailed to me? Tiled area...

    Music (Techno x Rap)

    Anyone listen to trap music? It's basically 808-produced womp (low frequency) beats with rolled high hats, blocks, and snares, and it's exploded in Los Angeles, TX, and NY over this summer. Flosstradamus has been one of its main pioneers, but I think the newcomers do it better. This genre is...

    Would you buy a used car with RUST on it? *pics*

    I am looking at a 2005 Subaru Legacy GT with relatively low mileage. The car is great, the mechanics are sound, and the interior is in good shape, and the price is just about right. However, the seller has damage on the car, caused by maybe a shopping cart on the driver's door, and concrete...

    Subaru Legacy GT vs. Acura TL

    In the used car market, would you pick the 4th Gen Legacy GT (2005-2009), or the 3rd gen Acura TL (2004-2007)? Subaru Legacy GT Pros: -Turbocharged (fun) -AWD -Lots of hp/torque -Better Weight Distribution/Tighter Steering (more fun to drive) Cons: -Interior quality not as nice as Acura...

    Used cars: Legacy GT vs Park Ave Ultra vs Acura TL

    Well, the time has come to buy a new (used) car. I have about $9,500 saved up for the purchase, and am reviewing a few options. I will either spend $3,300 on a 1994 Buick Park Avenue Ultra, and save up to buy a 3rd gen Acura TL/TL-S ($12.5k - $15k) in a year or two, or buy a <$10k car outright...

    Unknown Striped Spider Crawled up Ankle, Brushed it Off

    Hey ATOT, Random late night incident: I was about to go to sleep and I felt something on my ankle. I thought it was my cat brushing between my legs, but it wasn't, so I automatically assumed it was a spider and brushed/hit it off. It wasn't dead, so I lightly stepped on it to preserve the body...

    Green vertical lines on display

    I recently had a problem where green vertical bars plagued my display. Google searches' consensus was that the memory on the video card is failing. I wanted to check with AT before I go ahead and buy a new ~$110 card, that outperforms my current [then] $400 X1900XT. :frown: UPDATE: The video...

    2008 MINI Cooper S [With Pics]

    I picked up a new 2008 MCS 6spd MT with convenience package and rear fog lights. It is a blast to drive, and it has so much low end power that keeping it within the break-in limit is very easy. Front Side Side Repeater Rear Side Top Shifter Bridgespoke Wheels Exhaust I can't wait...

    Ordered a new car!

    I just ordered a 2008 MINI Cooper S yesterday at Century West MINI/BMW. It will have a manual transmission, convenience package (better bang for your buck than sport package), and rear fog lights ($100 option). It is dark grey with a black roof and mirrors. Came out to $25,000 after a $1000...

    Thinking about buying a Mazdaspeed3

    I had narrowed down my car choices to either the MINI Cooper S or the Mazdaspeed3. The Cooper was nice, albeit a little too small to be practical as a 4 seater, and the MPG is attractive. But, since it is made by BMW, I cannot find one stock. My budget is 22-23k. Dealers are selling them at MSRP...

    My mom is mad that I'm spending too much time on the weekends with friends...

    What do say/do? I try to help around the house as much as possible, get good grades, etc., but yet she is still mad that "I have too much freedom." I told her that I'll be 18 in May, and she has to slowly start letting go, but she says it's way too fast. I think she's angry that she had/has no...

    Smashed my finger in the car door yesterday, now I can't go back to sleep because of the pain.

    I am gong to cover it in Neosporin, and simultaneously ice it. Would Biofreeze and icing be a better idea? I just wished this never happened. :( UPDATE: Went to the doctor; he cold sprayed it, then made a small hole and let some of the blood drain. Whew! So much pressure, gone! Woot! :D It...

    Buying a Bernzomatic propane torch kit tomorrow.

    I'll only be using these to light coals, so I just need something cheap that works. Is the trigger-start any easier to use than a normal pencil torch? How do you light normal (non-trigger starting) pencil torches? Thanks! UPDATE: Bought it. Check below post.

    First time seeing close friends smoking weed.

    Sorry if this isn't allowed here. Lock if it isn't, please. I was at a friend's cookout in Calabasas yesterday, and when the mom (she stayed home and prepared and skewered all the meats [yum! :thumbsup:]) left, the older brother and his girlfriend bust out a colored glass pipe and four...

    Two drunk guys broke into my cousins' house and started beating the youngest one up.

    Yesterday, 2 drunk, 30ish year old men broke into my cousins' house in Chino Hills, CA, dragged out the youngest one (12 years old), and started beating him up on their front yard. My other cousin (his 19 year old brother) came out with a knife and stabbed one of them twice. Then, my uncle came...

    YACT: 2008 Altima 3.5SE Coupe vs. 2004 Infiniti G35 Coupe

    Pros of Altima: -Brand New -Warranty -Weighs a bit less Pros of G35: -RWD -loaded (Leather/Sunroof/BOSE/etc.) -much more parts available (it's a sports car) -Infiniti badge (resale value) -made in Japan (quality higher than products made in USA) -original looks (the Altima coupe uses...

    YACT: MINI Cooper S reliability?

    Can any MINI owners enlighten me on their reliability? I'm interested in the 2007 Cooper S (new 1.6L turbo engine), but it's a first year BMW, so I'm about skeptical about its reliability. I am thinking if I should wait for the 2008 model to avoid some of the problems it might have. Thanks! :)

    AP English Language and Composition question (with POLL).

    Hey ATOT, when doing the multiple choice portion of the AP test (or any test that involves reading an essay and then answering MC questions), how do you approach each passage? I usually just read the passage carefully, then answer the questions, but it's taking too much time. Which method has...

    YACT: S2000 as a daily driver?

    Hey ATOT, I fell in love with the Honda S2000, but the only thing I'm not in love with is its practicality. I will be giving my brother my Toyota Tundra when he starts driving (end of summer), and he'll let me use it for Home Depot or Costco runs. Can you fit anything into the trunk of an S2000...

    YACT: Hot girl next door drives a Dodge RAM SRT-10 6MT.

    Should I talk to her and ask to drive that beast of a truck? She goes to CSUN and is 18-19 from what I can see, and I am almost 17. The front of the truck is totalled, so either she bought it cheap wrecked or is a bad driver or can't control 500 horses. The SRT-10 is white with those 2 blue...

    YABT: Classmate in High School got a Honda CBR600RR crotch rocket.

    This kid (17) is a HUGE showoff, does not know ANYTHING about bikes except that they are fast, did not take a class or does not have any motorcycle license or insurance. Now he's racing around in a t shirt and pants and a helmet (at least he got one thing right), but he will probably lose the...

    YACT: Manual Acura TL

    My friend is telling me this is a "cruising" car and should only be bought with an automatic transmission. But, I really want to drive manual, want the power of a V6, and like the prices of used TL's. What do you guys think?

    YACT: Drove a manual car properly for the first time today!

    I drove my friend's Mini Cooper S after school today, and because of its very heavy flywheel, it was extremely easy to drive stick. My takeoffs were sometimes as smooth as a manual, and I never stalled. It's surprisingly easy and extremely fun! :D Then he taught me heel-to-toe downshifting and...

    Two cars broken in to at my school.

    After our last period class got out a bit early, the security guard asked me if my car's "glass was broken? Some cars were broken into." I run outside the campus to where my car is parked (11th graders aren't allowed to park inside the campus), and I see broken glass everywhere. I approach my...

    YACT: Have you debadged your car?

    Do you use a lanyard for your keys?

    I recently bought a lanyard to carry my keys around school, and I like it much better than just a key ring. It's much more visible, which means it's harder to lose (and easier to steal).

    Refurbished iPods...

The iPod video 30gb goes for $180, while the 60gb one goes for $230. since my 4th gen iPod just crapped out, I'm thinking of buying the 30gb one. From what I've read one other forums, they are indistinguishable (sp?) from new...
