    Driving a 2003 Grand Marquis rental

    This is a really nice car, too bad I only have it until tomorrow morning. I was having a blast kicking out the rear going around corners. The rear tires are in really good shape which is surprising for a RWD rental:P I also did a quick brake-stand and left a nice patch of rubber;) These cars...

    Installing a cd player in a Chevy Corsica?

    I have a Sony Xplode radio/cd player sitting around and I was thinking of installing it in my '94 Corsica. Presently the car has one of those cheap stock am/fm cassete stereos made by Delco. Besides finding an adapter to make the smaller Sony radio fit in the gigantic hole left by the Delco...

    Embarassed by an Aries! Time to mod my Dodge Colt for some serious HP! (pic!!!!111)

    So I was waiting at a red light and this playa in an '85 Aries pulls up next to me. I look over and I'm like "look at that fool in his Aries, thinks his sh1t don't stink". I think I hear him revving so I turn down my system for a minute. Yeah he is, he's brake torquing the hell out of it. So I...

    Alice in Chains Unplugged

    Damn, I think this might be the best installment in the MTV Unplugged series. The band sounds really great, despite Layne Staley's obvious drug problem. I can't help but wonder if the instruments might've been "touched up" a bit in post-production, their playing is that good.

    Guy I work with claims his Corsica beat a '96 Mustang GT

    Just so happens that me and a guy I work with both drive '94 Chevy Corsicas, both with the 3.1 V6, with 4 speed automatics. I know from driving mine that they are quick enough to get out of its own way, but they aren't "fast" at all. Recently I developed a slight hesitation when accelerating...

    Hmm, cable works even with a different NIC?

    I just finished putting together this PIII-800 using some old parts. I put a Belkin network card in, but it shows up in the device manager as Realtek. I found that odd, but didn't dwell on it. I happen to have a Realtek nic in my primary computer as well which is hooked up to my AT&T broadband...

    Does Circuit City sell computer cases?

    I need to get a case for my friends system. I'm sure it would be cheaper to buy from Newegg or some place like that, but he really needs the case today so paying extra isn't a big issue. I was wondering if they sell cases over at Circuit City? That's the only big store in the vicinity.

    Dislocated my shoulder for the 3rd time in 5 months

    Last night I rolled over in bed, then I felt a pop and instant pain, I knew right away it was my shoulder. First time was during the summer when I had a seizure, it happened during convulsions, apparently I through my arm out in the process. The 2nd time was two weeks ago, I turned to talk...

    Why did Drive-In Movies become extinct over the years (for the most part)

    Just wondering what caused them to lose popularity. Last drive-in I went to was E.T. back in '82 with my parents when I was a kid. I know there's a few left here and there throughout the country, but for the most part they've fallen by the wayside. What gives?

    What do you guys think of the 02 Chevy Tahoe?

    My buddy just bought one of these suckers brand new. He dropped 42k on it!:Q Sure it's pretty damn nice, rides smooth, and it's huge on the inside, but damn, it's still a GM product! I like how it has selectable AWD, 4WD, or plain 2WD. It must get better gas milage in 2wd, otherwise I can't see...

    Hmm, starter rope seems to be disconnected from my snowblower engine

    I haven't used my snowblower yet this season. I started it in the spring, changed the oil, etc. and it was fine. I went out today to start it up and there was no resistance when I pulled the rope.:confused: I'm not savvy with engines, but is this a simple repair for a mechanic? I'm going to...

    Anyone seen Analyize That yet?

    I went to see the 12:10am showing last night, there were only about 25 people in the theater. Pretty funny, but the plot was lacking even moreso than the original. They seemed to be relying heavily on sex/dick jokes and general vulgarities. I enjoy such jokes, but you can tell when the writers...

    Mini-keg with a pic

    I picked up one of these last night to split with my buddy, it's the same one that is in this picture. $12.99, yields about 12 Solo cups. Not a bad deal if you enjoy Molson; they come in other varieties, but Molson is my favorite brand. http://pics.paulsonator.com/users/sacotool/beer.jpg

    Friend bought a Bose Wave Radio/CD

    http://www.bose.com/home_audio/wave_systems/radio_cd/more.shtml My friend bought this Bose Wave Radio today. I went over to listen to it and it sounded fine to me, it really cranked for such a small size. The thing was $500 though, I can't get over that! While it's a nice gadget, who really...

    Alice In Chains - Unplugged

    I borrowed the DVD from a friend and watched it last night, damn they were a tight band! I own the Unplugged CD but never saw the DVD before. At the time Layne Staley was in the midst of a pretty bad heroin addiction and it was pretty evident when he was on stage. He sat on a chair for all the...

    Anyone know if the liquor stores in Massachusetts are open today?

    Damn, I noticed when I was leaving for work that I only had one beer left in the fridge:o I get out of work at 3:00, I hope there is a liquor store open somewhere. Too bad we don't sell booze in the convenience store/gas stations in this state:(

    Anyone running Max Payne on a Voodoo3 2000 ?

    I bought this game for my system and it runs great, but I have a Geforce 2 Pro 64mb w/512megs of RAM on a Tbird 850. My buddy was over visiting and he played Max Payne on my system for a while and he loved it, so he was thinking of buying the game for his rig at home. His system is a PIII 800...

    Downloading too much?

    In the past 3 weeks I've downloaded 1.6 gigs and I've uploaded about 600megs:Q:o, is this enough to alert my cable provider (AT&T). I sure hope not! This isn't a regular habit though. Usually my downloads are well under a gig per month.

    Would it be worthwhile to upgrade to a DDR board?

    Right now I'm running a Tbird 850@935 (112fsb) on a Gigabyte GA-7ZX motherboard, using 512 PC133 RAM. Would it be worth it to get a new board that supports 133fsb (or even 266fsb) with my processor? I can't decide if it's worth spending another 100+ bucks on a new board. hmmm

    Added 256MB for a total of 512, system acting funny

    I've got a Gigabyte GA-7ZX running a T-Bird 850@935, I had 256MB PC133 Crucial, since ram is so cheap these days I bought another identical 256meg stick from Crucial and popped it in. I've got the sticks in memory banks 1 and 3. I would have had to remove my videocard to use bank 2, so I figured...

    Should my Tbird 850 be running at 100 or 133fsb?

    I've got a Socket A T-bird 850 on a Gigabyte motherboard with manual jumpers to set the FSB. The machine will only post at 100-112fsb, (If I set the jumpers for 112fsb I end up running at 952mhz, which is pretty stable considering this board doesn't allow for multiplier or voltage adjustments)...

    Is my Voodoo3 2000 AGP dragging down my systems performance?

    I put together a T-bird 850 on a Gigabyte motherboard w/512mb pc 133 Crucial RAM. I carried over the old Voodoo3 2000 AGP from my old PII-400 system. The current setup seems to play most newer games fine. I tried 3DMarks 2001 and got an 1805 score which is pretty low compared to other peoples...

    New Aopen 12x CDRW arrived today, woohoo!
