I'll buy one now and one in the spring. I'll have to donate part of my suit budget for it :\

When i have a semi dark screen I can see horizontal lines going up the screen.

I still have a Viewsonic PS790 or something like that. not sure about the model number

I have a shitty tyris t902wdt


Look no further than Tyris T902WDT for those who would like to upgrade to a 19-inch widescreen LCD monitor with 5ms fast response time and bonus DVI port

v8 upgraded?

A V8 swap Miata would go under the category of BAMF. The only problem is that you take that wonderfully balanced weight distribution and fuck it all up.

Also, you need to flare your fenders for the wider wheels, because otherwise, you're just lighting up the tires constantly. It's a fucking animal.

what is that on the hood, kitty litter scoop?

Airflow for the top mounted intercooler, that's a turbocharged model. Looks fucking ridiculous, new ones are at least lower profile. FMIC would be better performing, draw less attention, and not look totally retarded, but they use TMIC because it fits nicely atop the motor and it doesn't have high crash vulnerability.

For the neffers who have ever fixed a computer for the computer illiterate
(which is probably all of you):

Some language, shouldn't be any NSFW imagery though. General site theme is humor, so it might be flagged if you have a psycho filter.

This is why I won't fix or build anyone's computer except my immediate family (brothers, wife). Once you make that mistake, you're free labor and get offers of a "free dinner" at best. No thanks.

Even a single virus can take a huge amount of time to successfully remove. That's why I started redesigning my network at home to have inline virus scanners. I need to get back on that project.

I've done two major fixes so far. One of them got me $50, the other $30 - and the second was my grandmother, but she wouldn't take no for an answer on the money.

It is utterly impossible to argue with one's 80 year old grandmother.
