    Well, I'll either go fast or destroy it!

    (spoken) This thread... *eyes tear up* (whispered) is my favorite thread. In the movie they were talking about the intake manifold, the innnnntaaaaaaaaaaake manifold, whyyyyyyyy?! You can't even think about it without laughing. AGH! My diamond plate! That's it, I've decided! When I get...

    finally! Paint is done. *new pics 8-30*

    Win! I've been seeing those things around a lot more lately. I probably see 2 a month. I remember they used to get made fun of a lot back when I hung out with a bunch of ricers. And I was like "But but, it's the best car in sight! Your cars are trash!" And then they'd go back to talking...

    Fun fact of the day: percentage of Corvettes sold with manual transmission

    YES! THIS! All my friends have mocked the cars I like for this. It's annoying. "BITCH! Nobody with a manual ever sells it because the shit never breaks!"

    18"~19" wheels.

    If you think it looks good, do it. I do not promise to not mock you, as different people like different things. Although please, PLEASE, get the right offset and width for your car. My eyes bleed on a daily basis because everybody out here in California must buy rims out of catalogs. You...

    MT tests 2011 Mustang GT vs 2010 M3

    Going to independent suspension would be fantastic. Their number one buyer isn't looking forward to track days though, that's a smaller segment of their potential customers. Their primary customers are the same people that buy any other car, because they like the name or the look or the...

    Why do people in the shittiest cars always want to race you?

    Haha, I've had three friends put money into those little things. A b16 and 2 b18s. $3,500 for a very used engine that makes 180 horsepower and no torque! Woooooo! Yeah, they each put over ten grand down into trying to make those things fast and ended up with unreliable 16 second cars that...

    Do you still enjoy playing older games?

    If you're picking and choosing back 10 years, you can find some really great games. If you're planning on new games to be good, you got at least 10 years of waiting before you have the same pool of games to pull the good ones from, and you're gonna waste a lot of money on bad ones before you...

    Aftermarket modifications to crappy cars - Why?

    The "because they don't have money" excuse is bullshit. The reason is that some people are just ignorant. They just don't know anything about cars, because they read magazines that glorify bad cars, and shows that glorify bad cars, etc. I'll point to a $5,000 Honda with $3,000 of crap parts...

    What the Leftists think you, as citizens, are

    Stop saying leftist, you're just playing into their plan. They say our politicians are left wing, when they clearly aren't. They're not for individual liberties, and democrats make tons of laws restricting rights because of some Christian rule in a book somewhere. They're authoritarians and...

    Do you also hate brainless FPS? Or just brainless games in general?

    Wow, I was going to say "Like Call of Duty?" And was going to talk up gams like Quake and Crysis. But ok. Call of Duty. Deep. (because they're beyond braindead)

    Had an interview at Geek Squad.... went HORRIBLE

    They still hire people that speak English where you're from? Because if not, learn spanish ASAP. I have the best story. A friend of mine got a job as a dishwasher at the casino. He was hired through a friend. He was let go after one day on the job, when he asked who to give his W4 to. He's...

    Now I know American cops are way better than...

    HAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! Are you kidding me? The difference between American hostage rescue and 3rd world hostage rescue is this: 3rd World- They try to rescue the hostages but are incompetent and kill half the hostages. America (1st World) - They kill the hostages, all of them. On purpose.

    Need help picking a motherboard

    I've spent a lot of time looking and I decided on this ASUS. http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product...82E16813131631 Doesn't have all those slots, but it's got enough to do full bandwidth on crossfire of 2 cards. It's got onboard video which is great for troubleshooting that you may need to do...

    I may get a 280Z tomorrow. Bought it!

    I've been seeing them in California all the time. California is proof that Nissan drivetrains last forever. Nothing but old American and old Nissan/Datsun out here.

    Oakland set to become petty crime haven

    So I just moved to California, I noticed some things. First of all, the taxes are outrageously high. The highest I've ever seen or heard of. Now, you'd think that means they'd do something with that money. Let's see what I've observed... -The worst public transportation that I've ever seen...

    Oakland set to become petty crime haven

    You meant in an attempt to peacefully deflate the about-to-burst bubble that Clinton inflated? Oh no, truth hurts.

    Is this judge a retard or is she right?

    Judges break every rule and every law they can just to try to get their name in the history books. Everybody knows this?

    New Chicago Handgun Law was approved

    While we are at it, ban nature and the environment.

    New Chicago Handgun Law was approved

    Why is there a debate on this? There is not a single argument to be had for gun bans. There isn't a single upside. And it doesn't matter anyway, we have a constitution. It says no gun laws, ever. And if you read the declaration of independence it says if they make one, kill them. That's...

    Should "K2" be illegal nationwide? I think so.

    I think we should go out of our ways to try to make it harder for others to do what they want in life. If we ban enough things, their lives will be as lonely as ours. Yay authoritarians, hold hands and cry.

    Dolphin tries to commit suicide

    I heard they're almost as smart as dogs. Soooo... I'm guessing it wasn't suicide but something far simpler.

    Buying a Stick Shift

    You're either lying or mistaken. It's been 30 years since automatics were "decent". Correct. It's a lot lot harder to drive an automatic and since it is also mechanically inferior, there's no point. Instead of just doing what I want to do and what makes sense, I have to think two steps...

    10 cylinder, 3 exhaust pipes. Gayer than aids. TEN DIVIDED BY THREE? WHAT? SUPERIOR ENGINEERING!

    Lexus LF-A test driver dies in crash

    Probably went down exactly how he'd like to have. Maybe he didn't have a woman in his lap, but it was CLOSE to exactly how.

    Buying a Stick Shift

    Today in LA traffic I noticed something about automatics. They don't just annoy me, they annoy everyone. Stop at a light, you're the 3rd or 4th car back. You'll notice the guy in front of you at some point is tired of mashing his brake pedal, and will let off a little and lurch forward and...

    Great fight starting between Woot! and Associated Press

    We are covering the oil spill, this means we can break whatever laws we want.

    POLL: Would you not buy a car because it has a timing belt?

    No, that wouldn't affect much. It's lame when they use a belt, but whatever, people are cheap. They need their cupholders.

    Whats with the easy to kill aliens in Sci-fi shooters?

    I think it's realistic when you're talking about the best soldier we have to offer and some aliens stacking crates somewhere.

    ATOT gun peeps, recommend me a .22 LR handgun

    Smith and Wesson 41 if you've got the money. If not, Ruger Mk2. Or a Ruger Mk3 with the magazine safety (AKA "magazine dangerousy") removed. P22's are horridly inaccurate and some just can't ever shoot. I bought one and it shoots a foot low at 25 feet. This is incurable. It's worthless...

    Windows 7 - which version to buy?

    I think the oldest copy of windows I have around is ME. Looks like a Sun product that lets me run a windowed Win98. Sweeeeeeet. Well, that's the backup plan I guess. To track down a copy of Win98 just to run the Neverhood. Thanks for that. I might be able to go halfsies (I mean I'd never...

    Windows 7 - which version to buy?

    Thanks for the help guys, and no I haven't bought anything yet. Right now I'm confused by newegg not having the "newer" Intel 80gb G2 SSD, and yet restocking their discontinued Intel 80gb G2 SSD. Their stats are the same and they're both G2ssss waaaat is going on? Meh, it's just for running...

    Buying a Stick Shift

    You shift automatically, it just happens on its own anyway. The difference is that with a stick shift it's your brain automatically shifting, not a computer with less balls than your cell phone that has no idea what you plan on doing. I'm using a rental car right now, which means I took every...

    Do you shoot off fireworks even if they are illegal?

    Not in a few years, way too many liberals that call the cops every time a squirrel cracks open a non regulation approved walnut. I'm in LA now, and yesterday there were illegal fireworks going off on every block of every street in every direction for miles. But let's pretend people have...

    Windows 7 - which version to buy?

    Thanks a bunch, I never thought to just go to their site. I just spend an hour here looking. I do want XP mode. There are games I know I tried to run in Vista mode on my last computer that I had to run in XP mode. That's not standard! Silly.

    Windows 7 - which version to buy?

    Hey guys, I see in General Hardware that people use diff versions of windows 7. Is there any point in getting pro or ultimate? I will be using my computer for gaming and as my television. I'll be streaming yankees games with their paid service thingy, and I'll be doing netflix. Maybe at some...

    When will smoking finally be outlawed?

    If they ban smoking, I hope a smoker kills whoever did it. This shit is getting ridiculous. You really think you're that much better than everybody else that you can jail them if they do something you don't want them to do? If I said something offensive here, I'm sure I'd get banned or...
