    Schlitz or Natty Lite?

    When I was up at college, a few friends of mine did a "bang for the buck" comparison (amount of alcohol per dollar). Natty Ice won hands down.

    automotive turbo guru's

    I believe as long as the car produces less than a specific threshold amount of the bad emissions (and I think that is specific to model year) it will pass emissions, no matter what you have done to it. And really, if your ECU was reprogrammed correctly, you shouldn't have too much of an issue...

    Share the Music You've Created!

    Just like the title says, if you write music, play in a band, rap, play the ukelele, whatever, let's hear it. Comments and critiques are welcome, but let's not bash other people's musical creations... No cover songs, no music that you do not hold the copyright to. I'll kick this off...

    YACT: Transmission/Shifting Questions

    I've been driving stick for quite some time and I found the best way to teach people is by using the "no gas" method. Basically, you just want to get familiar with how the clutch feels and where it hooks up. So, on a flat surface (parking lot) start the car rolling without using the gas pedal...

    i went german... :o

    Not to thread crap here, but I bought my 2003 1.8t GTI brand new in Feb. of '03. I will admit on the feature side, it is a great car, but all of those warnings are right on. Keep your eyes and ears open for sounds and problems. I've had a million sensors replaced including the rear hatch...

    who's getting out of work early today?

    I was supposed to have off today, but my boss asked if I wanted to work today and take off Tuesday. I jumped at that. I'd rather have a day to recover from the festivities on the fourth...

    GM shopping gains 30% in first weeks of discounts

    To give an idea of the deep discounts, you can get a Saab 9-2x Aero (Basically, the WRX Wagon) for about $19,500. That's cheaper than you can buy it from Subaru. The sticker is somewhere around $28,000 for the Saab.

    Rock bands of the 90's

    Fair enough. Rap/Rock was never really my thing. Although I never said started. Kickstarting to me pushes a trend faster, not exactly meaning they did the groundbreaking. So, I apologize for the misinterpreted comment...

    Rock bands of the 90's

    Ok, well listen to Walk This Way, or any Beastie Boys album and tell me if they even fit into the same type of genre as Body Count. I'm not discounted the others you mentioned, but we were talking about underrated, right? They are all great artists. Now, maybe for another underrated band...

    Rock bands of the 90's

    Regarding the Live comments, they are one of my favorite bands, and I have been following them for quite some time. Don't confuse "spirituality" with "Christianity". There are plenty of non-Christians who disagree with the wars we are currently fighting. As for the most underratted band...

    So does IKEA have the cheapest furniture?

    I love Ikea. Maybe it's just because the jerker is such a great desk. And it's so fun to say.

    Audi A3 - it's coming to the US!!!!!!

    Is this directed at me? If it is, it is the second time I've been accused (?) of being a banned user. Just to clear up the record, I'm not. I've used the username Vix9 on every other forum I've ever posted in (look me up at Ars). With that out of the way, you may now return to your...

    Audi A3 - it's coming to the US!!!!!!

    Actually, I think it's already here. I took my GTI in for service last month and there was an A3 2.0T at the dealer. Hell, seeing the A3 in Germany when I was over there a few years ago is what made me buy my GTI. Although after experiencing first hand the VW/Audi reliability issues I...

    How many of you think Paula Abdul wanted to do Constantin

    It also looked she was having trouble squirting out tears because her face is so pulled back.
