    speaking of anime- manga

    I cked out the animecastle site. Unfortunately, they don't carry much of these comics. The Legendary Couple has at least 11 volumes and they don't have the Dragon Sword series at all, it looks like. I would like to know if there are any stores in the So CAl area that may carry them. Thanks...

    Sorry nourdmrolNMT1, I don't read top gear. I just happen to know people in the business who work on these cars and more. I do read some mags but most are incredibly biased. Try some engineering for a change. One of my friends recently worked on a TT 300Z. NOw there's a car!! It will eat stang...

    2005 GTO

    I really wish that this could be a thread that would discuss the facts as they apply. Here is a thread that discusses the GTO and vette in a much better way. http://www.automotivehelper.com/topic297544.htm And when its all said and done, the sad fact is that the Am cars are outdated...

    If I am spewing, then give me examples of the muscle cars holding up under some real performance. All my stuff aside still doesn't give any credence to vettes, cameros, etc. PLEASE give me performance stats that are tested and can actually prove superiority of the Am muscle cars. You guys...

    2005 GTO

    Sorry, this Camero was a V8, Z26 . We were also going uphill and he couldn't breathe!! He backed off after about 2 miles or sooner. I have seen these cars blow engines easy. Vettes, too. I will say again, put any of these Am muscle cars up against Skylines, etc and watch what happens. They...

    2005 GTO

    C'mon guys. Let's get real. I can beat a Camaro with my 1989 Acura Legend. It has more torque and is more fun to drive than even a Celica GTS. Torque is FUN! Don't try to put a GTO into the Floating craze because they already tried and had to redesign the whole car. DUH!!!!!!!!! Pushrod...

    2005 GTO

    GTO VALVETRAIN: 2 Over Head Valves per Cyl w/Pushrod Acuation This the outmoded pushrod that US cars use. Europe hasn't used this in years. No wonder the US can't design a decent performance car. Ck out what Europe and Japan use instead.

    2005 GTO

    If it still uses the outdated pushrod, forget it!!!!!! Besides, it probably will get recalled like the Ford Gt. I'd rather get an Aston Martin or a Ferrari 430. At least they look cooler.

    Best cologne out today

    I understand that grapefruit and cucumber are the scents of choice that actually attract men and women. This was actual research done to determine what smells are attractive. Pheromones, if you will. I agree with it. I cannot stand these colognes and perfumes. I am quite attracted to a clean...

    Best of luck to you. I am quite certain you will be successful. My son just went into the Marines 2 weeks ago at Camp Pendleton. I am very proud of him. He graduates Feb 27th and then waits until Pensecola opens up. It got smacked by the hurricane. He plans to be a helicopter pilot/crew. I...

    help!!!!!!!!! math problem

    So as I asked before, then if the LCM is 36 and the GCF is 1, then the 2 numbers will be 36 and 1? By the same token, if LCM is 120 and gcf is 10, the 2 numbers are 120 and 10?

    help!!!!!!!!! math problem

    So then the answer is that the LCM and the GCF are the 2 numbers asked for? So would it follow that if the LCM is 36 and the GCF is 1 then the 2 numbers would be 1 and 36??

    help!!!!!!!!! math problem

    I am sorry but the web link does not tell me how to work the numbers if they are unknowns. I think the answer is 35 and 70 because if the LCM is found by taking the 2 numbers and dividing them by the GCF but it still doesn't quite work out properly.

    help!!!!!!!!! math problem

    you're talking about fractions right? the LCM is 35...... since 35 is the common denominator so whatever was above the 7 in the fraction multiply it by 5 also it would be better if you show the whole problem No, it is Least Common Multiple and Greatest Common Factor

    The pics look as if they have been taken out east. The one flower looks like dogwood and the pink one looks like a spring beauty. Moths can be hard to identify if they don't have outstanding characteristics. What camera are you using?

    Man jumped off Empire State Building

    At least 31 other people have committed suicide at the Empire State Building since it opened in 1931. More than 3.8 million people visit the tourist attraction each year, according to the building's Web site. Let's see, that's about 2+ jumpers/year. OUCH!!!

    What did you get for your 16th Birthday ?

    My daughter appreciates a gift card for shopping, computer software and her favorite cereal and pie. We don't do cakes anymore. My sister planned my 16th because my parents really didn't do parties. This was almost 40 years ago. I was so surprised and touched by her idea. I think birthdays are...
