Ok, in a bid to try and eliminate going off-topic in other threads I
thought we could have a Random Thread. This is where we can discuss
absollutely ANYTHING about ANYTHING. If you want to start a conversation,
just do it. Just don't go off topic so much in other threads, if you think
a topic is going off track, simply suggest taking the conversation here, as
there's no way we can move parts of topics here, you'll have to use some
initiative sometimes, lol! I'll stick this here and see how it goes! Yes
guys, this is a thread that can actually have no point......just don't
abuse it to up the post count by spamming it with letters and numbers etc,
It is also not a post whoring thread...I guess, lol. Thanx!

witty gp
Wow, I lost the phone lol
witty gp
random thought
witty gp
I think at 100, you're allowed to change the title under your avatar. I
thought once you hit 1000, you were supposed to get more smileys. WHERE THE
**** ARE MY SMILEYS????:guns:
elchango36
I have to post whore it up I want those smileys!J/K
witty gp
At 100 posts it says CF Enthusiast,
200 - CF Addict
500 - Change what it says under the user name
1000(?) - CF Extraordinaire
At 2,000 posts, you get the smilies, but only people with over 1,000 posts
can see them.
chris_knows
so how many extra smiles have you stuck in a conversation that i didn't
see?
what are the smiles?
witty gp

The night before the last I went to Unity 06, which is a rave in phoenix,
it was the coolest thing I have ever been to, seen, or experienced. Mind
melting graphics, hundreds of green and red lasers shooting around above,
heart stopping music, insanity.
But I now have a cold, and I dont feel good.
Raves are not all about drugs and bad people either, about 1% of the people
their were on drugs(but at any event some people will be on drugs), there
were kids as young as 5, to people as old as 65, there were people selling
stuff to support the buddhist community in phoenix as well.
If you guys have a chance to go to a LEGAL rave event, go and you will not
be dissapointed.:thumbs:
Ill try to get some pictures up soon!!
azkid110
Just various pictures, like this one:

I think it should be known that Ted Kaczynski, the Unabomber killed his
first victim today, on 1985. lol...That and more stuff that happened today
at:
rotten.com/today.
Another joke:
Reaching the end of a job interview, the human resources person asked a
young engineer fresh out of MIT what kind of a salary he was looking
for.
"In the neighborhood of $140,000 a year, depending on the benefits
package."
"Well, what would you say to a package of 5-weeks vacation, 14 paid
holidays, full medical and dental, company matching retirement fund to 50%
of salary, and a company car leased every 2 years...say, a red
Corvette?"
"Wow! Are you kidding?"
"Yeah, but you started it."

party at work today, lol
Cliffy
I'm working on an essay on terrorism, focusing on the July 2005 bombings.
What shocks me is why they did them. (Because people elected their
political officials, making them directly responsible for what's going on
in Iraq.)

I could just hear this speech now
Teacher: Chris let's here your presentation on terrorism
Chris: Terrorists are bad because they hurt people, the US army captured
sadam huessain because he hurt people.
Teacher: Chris would you mind telling us what happen to mr. Huessin
Chris: ummm.... he joined the HDA
Teacher: What's the HDA?
Chris: Homicidal Dictators Anonymous
Teacher: Ok.... thanks you for that Chris for that informative speech

Ahh, I see now, you're doing an essay. Your title should be flashy. It
should be something that makes the person pay attention, like "Analyzing

I agree though, they had a lot of sucky episodes this season (IMO):
The Return Of Chef (1001)
A Million Little Fibers (1005)
Miss Teacher Bangs a Boy (1010)
Stanley's Cup (1012[?])

omfg im so sorry guys, i just havent been able to stop laughing for an hour
already. i think im going to piss my damn self if i survive the pain on my
ribcage.
Inygknok
nope, you can leave me out of it, i already live with enough embarrasment
at work thank you (1 person calls me Gaylord! i dont know why!!!)
True_Brit
I will just say that if you can picture a girl who doesn't know how to have
sex and has never even orgasmed, this is what I am stuck with.
She not only has NOT orgasmed, but she doesn't know what it is apparently,
because she doesn't know how to do it to me.
She thinks that if you just touch a guy and feel him up that because it
feels good, you can just stop and he will be happy, like she did something
good.
She's not willing to learn either.
I kind of dumped her tonight. Don't know what I'm gonna do!
Bronxie
do wat im doing, asking about 4 girls out at once. one of them is bound to
say yes!
Inygknok
Yeah I think I should just go find someone else already.
This girl is a JOKE
Bronxie
You dumped a "virgin" that was willing to feel you up?
Pray to your lucky star you find another willing victim!! (full stop)
.

BavarianWheels
Way to go.... I'v had a girlfriend like that she claimed to be a non-virgin
but had no idea what she was doing in bed lol
slurm6969
Dude. She is ONLY willing to do that really. Yes we've done it, but not
that many times, not enough for my needs.
And she won't let me do anything to her. Something about being molested as
a child. That's a classic.
My motto: Victims of molestation are bound to be sexual no-go's
Bronxie
Patience...apparently you don't have :doh: . :wink2:

Took th words right outta my mouth, lol... (no gay jokes please, lol).
...I really don't understand, lol....honest...:doh:
Cliffy
i appologize if i offend anyone for wat i am going to say right now.....
but thats how i actually talk, and wat i have learned from experience:
those girls just love it rough! trust me on it. dont need to all out
force yourself on them, just take full manly charge! once they submit to
ya, they will be willing to do almost anything u want (they will definately
still not go naked in public).
Inygknok
thats not all he took outta your mouth (u should have kept quiet
:wink2:)
the 2nd thing was answering true-brit's question. he asked wether it was
him or you, so i said you.
Inygknok
She wants to wait till we're married before I can do anything to her.
No, I don't have patience for that shit!
Who the hell said we're getting married anyways???
It'd be different if she was a sweet loving girl, but she's a bitch to me
and needs to grow up.
Well, fortunately she thinks we're still together.
Bronxie
No I will NOT rape her
You sick man
Bronxie
rofl
read my post again. i never said rape her :smoke:
Inygknok
Lol. That's what little 16 year old virgins say. Its seriously not the
case.
I haven't had many women, but I can tell you that certain people make it a
chore...
Bronxie: Just end it already and stop whining.

LOL at the SEMA thing bronxie.
as for a topic change, i disagree with your sig, but i have always wanted
to compliment u on it. makes me laugh each time (i'd say giggle, but that
sounds like something cliffy would say, and i promise thats the last joke i
will say about cliffy.... for the rest of the day....)

Make your own. See what you can come up with.
Bronxie
What's me? what will I get that he wont? lol.....:laughing:
Cliffy
Wow...that is actually a really cool idea!
But a few things....
How safe are they? From like...cracking?
How the hell do you clean the inside of it after two days of driving and
its covered in brake dust? Remove the wheels? Ha!
Not a great idea to enclose your brakes in a greenhouse...heat?
Mathew
hmm....... i can send u pics of an ex-gf of mine? maybe even another one
of my last ex-gf posing along with her friends?
Inygknok
Well, in the vid, the guy answers all that.
He says the highly durable glasss is kind of like the type used in
aquariums, and that it is coated with something that will repel dust, but
if it's a daily driver you might have to clean it once every 3 weeks.

It's just a guess, but most of this doesn't seem to belong in the Domestic

I'm just kidding around, damn you Inygknok, reading your posts from tonight
has been.. 'interesting'.. and got me saying things
car_crazy89
I've got a random question...And since Pete, you have your G2 (I'm pretty
sure), do they do an eye test for G2? I was able to pass my G1, but not
sure about G2...8 hours of CF will do that to ya lol.
chris_knows
Haha yes, I've had my G2 since August now. No, they do not make you do
another eye test.. they just make you go drive lol, it's really that
simple. Then you get your temporary license right away if you pass (like
with your G1) and recieve your G2 card in the mail (again, like your G1).
:thumbs:
When is it you get to go for your G2?
car_crazy89
Sweet! Thanks lol. I can go as early as January 26th, but with exams and
icy roads, I might wait till mid-February/the beginning of March to get it.
chris_knows
Not bad then, you should have no problems.. especially if you have a decent
amount of driving time done. My one friend failed his driving test twice
(once in the winter cause the curb has a snow pile and while parallel
parking he hit it).. lol.
car_crazy89
Lol...I know two people who have failed their G1 tests 3 times lol (They
still don't have a license).
chris_knows
LOL wow. I definitely...missed that one.
Bronxie
is this simple to you??
http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c14/bob116/insideframe.jpg
starscream0
Is that a paintball gun? lol I never knew they had batteries. Pretty
complex, but it would be an interesting project.
chris_knows
care to explain to me wtf are G1 and G2 tests?
Inygknok
Well here in Ontario, we have 3 stages for your drivers license. Your
written (learners permit) is your G1.. you have that for 1 year (unless you
do drivers ed, then it's only 8 months). Then you go in for your G2
(driving test.. let's you drive alone, you can't have any alcohol in your
system). Then you have that for a year before you can go for your full G
(another driving test, but on a highway.. it let's you have up to .08% BAC
{blood alcohol content}).
I think I covered everything..
Oh and Chris, the main things you have to remember is to always check over
your shoulder and signal everytime you turn the wheel (to switch lanes,
park, turn, etc).. and when you come to a complete stop at a light, don't
roll across the line lol (that was my only real mistake).
car_crazy89
Thanks Pete...I always do use my turn signals because my dad keeps telling
me to...for EVERYTHING lol.
BTW It's Nostradamus' Birthday lol.
chris_knows
And today is the day Walt Disney died...(In 1966).
chris_knows
Anyone wanna make me a sig like chris, I 've been dying for one of those!
slurm6969

ask chris!
True_Brit
I'm making them right now lol :mrgreen:
Walt couldn't be afraid of mice...Unless he didn't really invent Mickey
Mouse!! :laughing:
chris_knows
its a well known fact that he was afraid of mice!
(well, not well known to you obviously!)
True_Brit
I don't know a single thing about him lol.
chris_knows
thats the only thing i know about him, and the other fact that he may not
have designed m.mouse!!!
True_Brit
im off to bed now, its been a very busy week!

So far weather wise, this is the best looking day of this whole week.. it's
actually sunny out, still no snow (haven't had snow in awhile really)
:mrgreen:
car_crazy89
Same here (obviously lol)...It's pretty warm too.
chris_knows
I'm dying 4 snow so i get off monday
slurm6969
3:41am local time....
well, my throat hurts from all of the screaming we did today while playing
Halo 2 and Mario Kart: Double Dash (won the MKDD tournament, won most shit
overall on halo, meaning i took the win for the day). just got done
talking to one of the girls im interested in, in fact, the sweetest one out
of the bunch. just wish she would work out......
anyhow, since this is the random thread, i feel like saying random shit
like the above statements.
i keep reading threads, and even after 2 days, i still cant get all the gay
jokes about cliffy out of my head.
currently listening to "Otherside" from the Final Fantasy X original
soundtrack. cant get it out of my head either.
i have to start organizing the pictures of the Supra to make both write
ups, the english and the spanish versions...... cba due to lazyness. gotta
also post up the pictures of the old parts im selling...... guess what?
yea......
im wondering wat other kinds of pictures synthetic trust has.....
slurms a football player, but he sure does remind me of the "little
brother" type of person, the kind that eats boogers and u just have to pat
on the back sometimes.
i feel like playing halo again with a whole bunch of people again..... its
fun to snipe people with just 1 clip and then just bash them with the
covenant carbine.
why the hell do i drink chocolate milk at age 21 and a half?
why is pepsi so ****ing awesome?
where the hell is chrisv? i need him to weld a crack in my floors.
Quote i made up yesterday cuz i was feeling upset with the girl i was
talking to a short while ago (Marie btw), and i was just being a bit grumpy
and immature: Life? Knock on wood! <---- i better get credit if u
bastards feel like using it.
i think im sick..... i got some fever.
i wonder how long this post will be......
bleach starts in about 8 minutes.... GO ORIHIME! (Yuna's better though)
i think im done ranting random stuff. phew, that feels much better!
Inygknok
When i think about you i touch myself
GreekWarrior
i do too..... specially when i look into a mirror.

Hey I've just noticed your sig.....your car has a numberplate light out
:laughing:
Cliffy
today, i remembered how painful it is to fall off my bike!
it all started at 10:30am (local time) and i was free-wheeling down a hill
when my front wheel locked up! i went head over handle bars (good thing i
was wearing a helmet, my head hit the ground first!), a taxi driver stopped
to help me (which was nice of him:thumbs: ) and i was in agony! no broken
bones but cuts all over! i had work too (lifting heavy boxes etc which
played hell with my ellie bows!)
later on (hometime 8pm) i look at my left elbow! one lump as big as
pop-eyes chin!!!
ive had to go to hospital i thought! so i got to a+e at 9pm and i waited
and waited till 12pm where i told the receptionist that ill be back
tomorrow!
so tomorrow ill be going back, hopefully ill have the day off
too!:laughing:
it hurts though, real painfull!
(apart from that, ive had a great day today!)
True_Brit
cliffy,,, i just realised its been a year and 7days ago since the
Buncefield Fuel depot explosion, (i was looking it up just now on google!)
did the police etc find out what caused it???
all i know was that it was the site of europes biggest fire since WWII
True_Brit
i was driving today and was wondering what happens if you throw your gear
into 4th from first, would it stall or just drive really really slow
salimander13
first, it would be hard to push it into the 1st gear (it would try to jam,
and most possibly even grind). the engine will redline like a mad cow.
and im sure something will go wrong in the transmission cuz of the ratios.
if you're going faster than wat 1st gear allows, something is just bound to
go completely wrong.
Inygknok
Yeah...but if you read it again, he says shifting from 1st to 4th lol.
I don't know what would happen...I think it would just lunge and go really
slow though lol.
chris_knows
You may have misunderstood, I think he meant jump from 1st to 4th.. :wink2:
car_crazy89
lol, it sure does. It's been like that for quite some time. I keep
forgetting to replace it.
elchango36
I didn't think it was that long ago! Although I guess when I think about
it, it was some time ago, lol...all I know is that it happened on a Sunday
morning....I think. I don't think anybody was to blame as such :laughing:
Sorry to hear about you accident, lol. When ever I cycle, which isn't very
often! I never wear a helmet...I never have done. Just a good job I've
never had a similar crash! :ohcrap:
Cliffy
Does anyone else see how the forums became more Christmas-y? lol...I like
it.
EDIT: Nevermind, that's just on my computer :laughing:
chris_knows
I was starting to get all excited then.....Shame on you Chris, Shame on
you, lol
Cliffy
You know this picture:
http://www.car-forums.com/talk/images/misc/subscribed.gif?...It looked like
a little wreath :laughing:

That picture looks like a little envelope to me, lol...

Same here lol.

My last day's tomorrow...but we only get like 2 weeks off lol.
chris_knows
geez man. ive been in vacations for 2 weeks now and i dont go back until
like january the 14th.
Inygknok
We haven't really been doing anything for the last week, but we have to go
anyways...I've got three computer classes right now so I'm on CF like 24/7
lol (Period 1 - AutoCAD) (Period 3 - Computer Science) (Period 4 -
Chemistry ISU)...
BTW If anyone knows about "Atmospheric Reactions and Pollution", could you
maybe make a movie/powerpoint presentation teaching a class about it?
:laughing:
chris_knows
20 e-dollars to anyone who can tell me something good about atmospheric
pollution lol...I'm thinking of saying it's benefitted the Earth, but no
website seems to support my hypothesis lol...
chris_knows
.... cuz it hasnt. so where are my 40 e-dollars?
Inygknok
Oh?...Did you know that millions of years ago, there were jungles
everywhere and bigger plants. You know why? There was A LOT of carbon
dioxide. Today, trees and plants are smaller and fewer. Therefore, we have
LESS carbon dioxide than the dinosaurs did. In 10,000 years, plants will
look like the prairies and there will be even less CO2. :smoke:
chris_knows
thats called contamination, not pollution. contamination is produced by
wildlife and nature itself. pollution by us humans.
now u owe me 80 e-dollars.
Inygknok
Ask Al Gore, humans are responsible for all CO2 in the world. lol
Fine...I'll quit now. The money's in your e-bank lol.
chris_knows
Lol. good. was going to have to go to the don (bav) and report this
little.... "situation".

Wait, isn't it the day of his daughter's wedding this saturday?:laughing:

slurm6969
well you missed daily planet the other day i guess(i think it was on there)
apparently the more pollutants we put into the atmoshpere is making space
junk stay in the air longer, thats a benefit if you dont like being smashed
in the face with space crap
p.s pay up sucka
BanffAutoSpa_ap
I haven't watched that show in a while lol...Could you elaborate, I don't
think I understood what you said lol.

I posted this in Myspace too and got some pretty unhappy messages lol:

something, but it just makes me want some lamb chops lol...

Pretty random, huh? lol.
chris_knows
well im not a scientist but i guess the more things we put in the air that
make it into the atmosphere, make the atmosphere denser therefore all the
sattelites and things we have put to orbit the earth should stay up there
longer than previously thought, so if they expected it to fall in 10 years
it may be there alot longer, like floating in saltwater compared to fresh
water
BanffAutoSpa_ap
Oooh...I thought you meant like if you hit something, it wouldn't hurt as
much lol...Thanks for that :thumbs:
chris_knows
you sound like your avoiding paying me

Any Special xmas requests?
slurm6969
What...from you or in general? lol
chris_knows
Tonight I realized that Peterborough chicks are kind of messed up.. lol. My
friend just got a 1997 Civic Coupe Si (white), and as we drive through
downtown, this SUV with a bunch of girls in it pull up beside us and just
cruise at our speed.. when we sped up they did too, when we got stuck
behind traffic, they waited for us lol.. who'd of thought chicks would do
that over a stock Civic...
So if you want some slutty/easy chicks, come this way lol
I'm just bored and feel like wasting time.. it's my xmas break now so I'm
happy lol :mrgreen:

slutty and easy you say? add "hispanic" to that list of compliments and
you're gonna have a new roommate within a week!

definately, or that we could hang out on irc. i have been on and off the
pc all day, and it takes hours for someone to reply! :banghead:

i was out somewhere else doing my xmas shopping!
also had a small race today (a hill climb at a quarry between two stock
cars) and its very dirty (or shit high as the locals say it)
True_Brit
I dunno why these forums aren't attractive..hmm..
I mean it has a great domain name. Been around a long time...
Ok maybe it's the dark grey color. White with black text would be a lot
better.
EDIT: We have a nice little family here, though...I guess that's a plus.
Bronxie
back on the supra forums, the admins decorated the logo in a christmas
fashion. maybe we should have asked for the same here? and maybe even do
so for each special holiday: valentines, halloween, christmas, etc.
http://www.supramania.com/forums/red_images/logo_christmas.jpg
Inygknok
We had a little Christmas theme a couple of years ago, but with no admin
that's active, we can't do anything this year....:ohcrap:
I too remember CF being more active, and I'm sure it will be again...as
more and more members join (atleast one or two a day at the moment!). I
think it has something to do with how we rank on search engines though. I
mean, we used to be the top listing, then we dropped down a little
bit....Oh well.
Mr.Brit, you didn't go for your Christmas do?
Cliffy
I think it's cause we need the admins to make some improvements and they
just aren't here :(
Bronxie
Deffinately :wink2:
99integra
and i dunno if its just my computers, but when you search car fourms yes it
comes in second to beyond car forums but theres a confusing beginning
screen that you have to avoid to get to the better forums layout, which
some people might see and go wtf is this and leave. just my opinion
BanffAutoSpa_ap
I don't understand what you're saying. I know that CF is often after that
Forum....but that's as far as my understanding goes, lol. It's also second
to another CF....:laughing:
I think it's mainly because we only have one admin here. We need a group of
them really, or atleast an assitant admin too!
Cliffy
time to start choosing some then!
i vote ChrisV on a serious note.
btw, where are the rest of them? i only see u and bav around now.... and
once i saw satty a few days ago....
Inygknok
Bav is next in line really, as is Satty (although he's busy these days I
think!)...therefore It's myself or tbaxleyjr who's next in line for
Supermodship.....:laughing:
I wouldn't refuse the offer of Assit. Admin though, lol.
Back on topic, lol....or Off-Topic.....We went out on the town in one of
these yesterday night...Great fun it was, lol. It was a British Transport
Police public order van. Ours was slightly newer, and was in the BTP's
livery, but was still an LDV...(couldn't find a BTP van)
http://image.guardian.co.uk/sys-images/Guardian/Pix/pictures/2005/12/23/ade

E-cookies for anyone who can find me a BTP LDV on images!......

here is one?

:orglaugh:...Too much work, I'd rather just watch the video.
chris_knows
I have a copy.. I may just have to try that :laughing:
car_crazy89
Yeah, that's the type. I did find that pic, but as part of a website rather
than a picture that could be used. The one we used had two light bars, one
at the front, and one at the rear, and it was an X-reg.
Cliffy
last year, we went on the town in one of our vans, a lwb transit (55reg)
with 3 in the front and about 20 others in the back (problem was as its a
courier van,,,no seats) but that was fun when everyone but the driver
(honestly) were 3 parts pi55ed!
mind you, i shouldnt be telling you cliffy, as you are associated with the
BTP who can forward it on to the five-o:laughing:
True_Brit
The BTP is a proper force...so they'll pull you regardless. I'll tip them
off when I next see them, lol....:laughing:
Cliffy
oh, i know they are a force in themselves (i didnt mean they arnt!) but i
thought that they are focused on Trains, Planes, and Buses? obviously
couriers too!:laughing:
True_Brit
lol. They just deal with trains actually....:laughing: :thumbs:
There was talk of them dealing with crime on planes at one point, but I
don't think it came to anything!
Cliffy
that must be where i thought of it then???
we had the police at our depot this morning to stop a fight between
Citylink (us) and our next door company (electric wholesalers) who moan at
us for taking up the whole car park with 50 of our vans:laughing:
True_Brit
Bloody couriers....:laughing:
Cliffy
i witnessed an accident today!!!:ohcrap:
it was pretty bad too, 1 person died (no suprise really!!!)
a car got pasted across a road when an artic truck drove into it, it sort
of mangled itself under the truck! it wasnt the truck drivers fault either,
it was the car drivers fault! it was a big cross road, main road passes
down the middle and 2 roads branch off, 1 for a housing estate and one to
ASDA (Walmart owned supermarket) and the truck was going downhill on the
main road and a car pulled out into the direction of the truck! horrible
really, shut the road down for 4 hrs! its one o the main roads that link to
the airport and where i work, so we had a lot of moaning drivers where i
work moaning about the delays etc etc!
apart from that, i had a great day at work!
True_Brit
Nasty, especially if deliveries were dlelayed....:doh: :ohcrap:
Cliffy
none of ours were, its just delays in getting home:laughing:
probably a few people missed thier plane out of plymouth though:doh:
True_Brit
That must have been frightening....having to spend another few hours there!
lol.
Cliffy
where?:ohcrap: :doh:
True_Brit
In Plymouth......if they missed their flights...:doh:
Cliffy
i was just reading on the bbc news website (i didnt know anything of
this!!!) that in plymouth sound (the harbour, one of the biggest in europe,
also the entry point for naval ships) that an american nuclear sub visited
devonport (our naval base) and 2 us seamen fell over board and
deaded!:laughing: sorry, died!
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/devon/6217471.stm
alot happens here in Plymouth
True_Brit
Oh dear, Plymouth sure does seem to have it's fair share of doom & gloom!
:ohcrap:
So much death in the world....like the men onboard that Helicopter that was
transporting then gas workers to their rig....:ohcrap:
Cliffy
where did that go down? or where were they going? whats come up of that, i
havnt heard much about it really!!!!
True_Brit
Clicky (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/6213141.stm). All the info is in that
link!.....Good 'ol Beeb
Cliffy
well, that aint good! did you leave a respective note on that site???
also, how do you get the link to come up with Clicky, or click here or
whatever instead of the full address of the link???
True_Brit
I wasn't aware that there was a condolence site...I didn't read that link,
just found it for you!
As for your other query, simply do the following; (url=)(/url),using the
normal brackets (I couldn't display the square once in a demo as CF thinks
I'm inputting a url and thus it doesn't display them, lol), and next to
then 'equals' sign, copy/paste the address of the site you want displayed,
and put any text you want displayed, such as 'clicky' in between the middle
brackets, like you would normally do with the web addy!
Cliffy
i cant get the hang of it! when i press the link tab
http://www.car-forums.com/talk/images/editor/createlink.gif or the inser
image tab http://www.car-forums.com/talk/images/editor/insertimage.gif and
the url box comes up, what do i do???
also, the condolences entry are at the bottom of the page you linked!!!
True_Brit
Oh I see, thanx for the heads up...I tend not to pay much attention to news
sites, as I hear all the info by other means. Ok read my above post
again...it really cant get much easier than how I already explained it,
lol. If it helps, enter the tabs manually, using your keyboard!
Cliffy
still cant get it!!!:laughing:
True_Brit
Okay. Follow these instructions....:laughing:
(url=copy/paste the url of website here!)Enter other text here...this will
be displayed as a clickable link(/url)
Just remember to use these [] instead of these ()
Does that help?

I HATE SNOW AND COLD WEATHER.
I am in upstate NY to work on a project with my friend and it's
HORRIBLE.
Worst part is, I had to bring my poor new car. Now it will suffer from salt
and dirt.
It is very sad.
Bronxie
You tart, it's a bloody car, lol.....Cars get dirty and much worse on the
roads, especially newly surfaced roads!
I wish we had snow...

Yeah, it's the salt. Salt makes the under-carriage rusty, I'm pretty sure.

So it seems like there is practically no where to buy Honda PS fluid in a

hello car forums!!! what a night :hi:
kinda wild!
i went to the new years fancy dress party in plymouth city centre and i
woke up under the bridge connecting Devon (the county i live in) to
Cornwall (the worst county in england:laughing: ) in the morning with one
splitting headache and one hell of a hangover and my friends arnt telling
me what happened the night before (is that good???:ohcrap: )
i went dressed as a packet of wrigleys gum (including the minty smell,
courtsey of wrigleys) and my mate went as a (ahem) used Tampon:laughing:
True_Brit
You Brits sure sound like you know how to party hardy :laughing:
car_crazy89
bad thing was, i had to walk 4miles home because i left my phone at home
and had no money dressed as a packet of gum, plus as it was raining in the
morning, some inconsiderate bastard drove into a puddle as i was walking
beside the road!!!
but yes, we paty hard here:laughing:
True_Brit
We don't all dress like that, lol.
You had to walk home......dressed as a packet of chewing gum? Still, I
guess that's better than walking home dressed as a used tampon :laughing:
Cliffy
Here's something random, does anyone find turning signal clicking noises
annoying? What about ring tones for your turn signals? lol
Cliffy, you could invent that, and make easy money off of that. All I ask
for is 15% :mrgreen: :laughing:

haha never really payed attention to it, but then again I use my turn
signal 1% of the time im driving.

I haven't been to the gym in 5 days. I'm depressed.
I helped to paint my friend's house today. It is annoying.
I need to work more so I can buy a new car.
I need to save more so I can buy a 1st gen mazda miata.
I need sex
Bronxie
are you serious? because...it doesn't look like you go to the gym, your
with your friend so it can't all be that bad unless your not really great
buds, didn't you just get a new car,the miata thing...couldn't you have
mention this with the statement above it, and more sex...well personally
never experienced it so I wouldn't know...
salimander13
Miata? Try Porsche lol.
chris_knows

True_Brit
looks to me like that car has an exciting story?
mazda6man
:stupid: lol.
chris_knows
it was chucking it down with hail (frozen rain, i dont know how to spell
it) the other day, my friend was doing 95mph when the road wasnt covered in
the little marbles of hail, anyway, he hit a patch of compacted ice and
went flying off the road, hit the end of the metal railing that lines the
motorway and then flew in the air covering abouth 50ft and landed on the
side!
he was alright, but broke his ankle!
True_Brit
The emergency services could have atleast removed the car from his
head....:laughing:
Broxie said he needed to save some money to buy one (Maita), lol.....God
only knows how that boy thinks....:doh: :laughing:
Cliffy
I must have missed that...Why does he need both? And I thought he was
getting a Lotus next. I'm so confused!! :laughing:
chris_knows
I go to the gym a lot.
I want a miata cause I wanna take it apart and do hands-on stuff.
Sex is awesome man
Bronxie
........ do we really want to know?
btw Brit, that story would have been topped off if u had filmed yourself
saying it while eating crumpets with tea. best story evarrrrrr!!!
Inygknok
So is doing crack off a hooker's ass, but that doesn't mean it's something
we need...:laughing: JP; I know we need those things.
chris_knows
the hooker's ass or just sex?
Inygknok
Lol...Just the sex. You never know where that ass has been lol.
chris_knows
Well, you're awesome, but it doesn't mean you're something we need :wink2:
:laughing: JP; You're not that awesome
Bronxie
I dare someone to do this.

I tried it...It's just a game, like it has voice clips of him that it
plays when you say certain things lol...
chris_knows
u know chris I wonder what kind of stuff is on, in, and from your comp
because of the things you try out and sign up for. God only kknows how
much porn there is...god knows and Chris_knows
salimander13
Does this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ew-yfaB6uOk) riff sound good or
no?
67Coronet383
Hell, even I don't know what porn I have on here and what I've deleted
:laughing:...Actually, I've only got a couple of pictures I think lol.
chris_knows
that was pretty damn good keithy ol boy :wink2:

Just got an e-mail from my ISP who got an e-mail from NBC because someone
on my IP address was downloading copyrighted material (American Pie
3)...I'm not downloading anything right now (Trying to make Tom Clancy's
Rainbow 6: Vegas to work on a computer with system specs lower than minimum
requirements lol). My sister started using BitTorrent less than a week ago.
My sister's the one that was downloading it, which really pisses me off
because I've been using it for about a year and a half without any problems
(excepts for exceeding my bandwidth lol)...I don't really use torrents too
often anymore (Now I look on http://www.projectw.org for much faster
downloads lol) I always thought that downloading stuff was perfectly legal
in Canada. It's just a warning but could a copyright owner take legal
action for something like this? I've looked on the Ontario government site,
searched the laws, and it has absolutely nothing on anything. The Canadian
government site's law section gave me a couple of results, but none of them
answered my questions. I found out that the law was being redone to be more
thorough, but couldn't find it anywhere.
This random post has a question...Does anyone have some free time to look
up the laws for file sharing in Canada? lol
chris_knows
You're going to prison for the rest of your life and you will be highly
looked down upon in this old world.:laughing:
67Coronet383
Alright, but only if it's the prison in "Prison Break"...that place kicks
ass :laughing:
chris_knows
just hope its not the prison from half baked.... nasty nate is a scary
fellow... "horns, devil 666, nasty jungle of love!"
mazda6man
nah, he's like The New Guy. he's going into prison with a broken phallus
and coming out with a brand new Tiger Claw under his belt... :laughing:
Inygknok
I'd probably be like Cartman...smuggle "Tic Tac Toe" games in my ass so
that someone can help me break out. :laughing:
Did anyone notice that the calendar on the forums only goes to 2006...So
2007 can't be seen, nor can events be posted or birthdays viewed in
advance. We need UFF to come back again lol.
chris_knows
umm... since this is a random thread... i am quite bored right now

Chris-
From: http://www.wipo.int/copyright/en/faq/faqs.htm#P67_8282
Also, to prevent this, International laws such as the Berne Convention for
the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works states:
Canada is party to the Berne Convention signed April 10, 1928, UCC Geneva
(Universal Copyright Convention) signed August 10, 1962 (AKA the Geneva
Act) and TRIPS, Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights,
signed January 1, 1995. ***Thanks to Wikipedia for research
materials!***
In other words, it's protected under your laws just as it would be in
America or wherever the copyright was enacted. If a work is copyrighted and
you use it without permission or copy it, the owner can sue you for
infringement if caught since your country is party to those acts I named
above.

Well that sucks. lol. I was under the impression that you could download
whatever you want, as long as you do not upload.
Thanks very much for the research though, Talonchik :thumbs:

I said **** it to all my car mods. I can have the best car in the world,
the best job, and the most $$, but without her, it'd be like I had
nothing.
That is what I decided. I definitely should write an autobiography.
Bronxie
Good point, I can take your money if that's what will make you happy.
:laughing:
chris_knows
i can help
mazda6man
That wouldn't be much. I'm below the poverty line technically. I must make
like 18k a year max.
Bronxie
Call me stupid, but how do you afford a Porsche in the high class region of
New York? lol...Unless most of your money comes from your dad. It doesn't
matter to me though, I can take money from either of you :laughig: JP
chris_knows
il take the porsche
mazda6man
ill write your autobiography for ya!
(ill charge by the page, so hopefully, for you, noyjing much has
happened:laughing: jk)
True_Brit
So if you charged £10 per page, you'd make a hefty £20 out of it, lol

True_Brit

saying something about this before....or similar? It's pearlescent paint?
Cliffy
if pearlescent is what they call it? yes it is! i thought that paint method
is new, obviously not:laughing:
yes it is pre 98 but it has the same wheels (which my dad doesnt like so
they're going straight onto my car!!!):laughing:

"real" that video was :laughing: :thumbs:
As for the pearlescent paint....It's been around for years, TVR use it alot

Two antennas met on a roof, fell in love and got married. The ceremony

A woman has twins and gives them up for adoption. One of them goes to a
family in Egypt and is named "Ahmal." The other goes to a family in Spain;
they name him "Juan." Years later, Juan sends a picture of himself to his
birth mother. Upon receiving the picture, she tells her husband that she
wishes she als o had a picture of Ahmal. Her husband responds, "They're
twins! If you've seen Juan, you've seen Ahmal."
Mahatma Gandhi, as you know, walked barefoot most of the time, which
produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet. He also ate very
little, which made him rather frail and with his odd diet, he suffered from
bad breath. This made him ...(Oh, man, this is so bad, it's good)... . A
super calloused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis.
And finally, there was the person who sent twenty different puns to his
friends, with the hope that at least ten of the puns would make them laugh.
No pun in ten did.

im back on finally, i spent all weekend cleaning my car and my dads car!
(lazy bastard:laughing: )
hes was in a rougher state than mine, but ive bought back to looking new!
i used a great car wax, Autoglym Super Resin polish, great stuff, really
made the cars look a treat! great on red cars (mine is red, my dads is
metallic purple)
and a bottle of Autoglym Interior Shampoo, which also worked a treat,
especially when the car my dad bought (for £250) had mould on the
seats and belts etc, (the car was 11 years old and looked like it wasnt
cleaned since)
id recommend it to who ever really!
i used to use Turtle Wax brands but this is far more better!!!
(but i dont have pictures)
True_Brit
Is your dads car a Vectra too? I used to use Turtle Wax but it doesn't seem

Yes, very good. Hamster seemed uncomfotable watching the footage of his
crash though....quite rightfully I think! The team made a promise never to
speak of it again though, Awww :laughing:
He seems to have lost weight too, I guess it's the lack of beer and excess
(dodgy) hospital food that's done it!

and J.C looks like he gained abit, so did james may!!!

I agree, they also all looked very tired....Maybe JC's commute from
Oxforshire to Dunsfold is getting to him, lol.....not sure how often he has
to do it though, I think it's only once a week whilst filming. But I'd
imagine there's alot more than that involved in it!

I'm getting pissed off with Microsoft Office...I have Office 2007, but with
Windows XP. I just realized that instead of typing, I could enable
something so that I can talk through a microphone and it would type
everything for me. When I went to look for how to enable it, I only found
stuff for older Office versions, where you still had the top menu with
"Tools", "File", "View", "Options", etc. I checked for the version I have,
but I guess MS Office 2007 is intended for Vista, because everywhere I go,
it shows how to enable voice recognition in Vista.
So does anyone know how to enable voice recognition either in Windows XP
(Pro if it makes a difference), or in Microsoft Office 2007?

Vista, which was released last night (I thought it was out for months, but
saw Bill Gates on the Daily Show lol), and it's also the last OS that
Microsoft will make. I wonder what we'll be using in like 5 years...

and will probably never get fixed. I saw that daily show. the stuff that

I know...It has lots of animations, so it slows your computer (I've turned
off most animations in XP for the same reason). There are some interesting
stuff though, and probably won't have too many bugs.
chris_knows
I decided I'm not gonna waste $$ on over-priced products like racing
headers that probably won't do crap and focus on reducing weight from the
car.
My main way of reducing weight would be by changing the seats to
lightweight 15 lb race seats, and that's awesome, except for the fact I am
afraid of how it will look w/ the top down. Most race seats are black w/
red or blue in the middle. I would get an all black seat but I dunno.
Supposedly the factory seats are 40+ lbs (mine are not power seats at
least, but the recliner is "power" operated)
Then I would buy a braille lightweight battery, weighs 11.5 lbs. Supposedly
this can save 30+ lbs from the stock battery.
This is all stuff I can do RIGHT NOW.
The future has more plans which are more difficult.
Oh I forgot to add I'm buying a schnell short shift kit. It's just 189
bucks...most of the other ones I found were 450+

I heard yesterday that within hours of its release, some spotty teenager
had hacked into the encryption system or something, lol
Cliffy
That's weird...So many people downloaded BETA versions of it (legally) so
that stuff like that doesn't happen, but I guess it was inevitable. They
have people constantly trying to hack it to see how it could become safer
too. They're probably going to release a Service Pack for it in a couple
weeks.
BTW Just found the article, here

I looked around about what's been hacked, and I think Microsoft's DRM was
hacked. I've looked for what DRM is, but can't tell for sure. I think DRM
is copyright protection, like how songs from iTunes are in AAC, so only the
iPod can play them. The hack still hasn't been released though, because the
last person who did it was hunted down by Microsoft...Not sure if they ever
found out who he was though. The person that hacked it now is this guy
(http://www.reactos.org/wiki/index.php/Alex_Ionescu), who is about 20 years
old lol.

Alright, a friend and I are thinking to buy Vista and split the cost 50/50,

is anything of that sort legal to install on two computers? My guess would
be no.

You are very honest. I wouldn't think twice about installing it on

haha, well if your going to do it on two computers have valid keys because
the computer technition who fixed our computer messed with our xp or
something, now it says we need a genuine copy.
salimander13
Yeah, I probably won't get it...The school computer I use said it didn't
have a genuine copy of Windows installed, even though it was the same copy
of Windows installed on all the other computers in the school, but the
computer technician fixed it pretty quickly somehow...Look on google, I've
seen many ways on how to get rid of the little thing in the taskbar

i prefer it to a bus, it takes the long route to barnstaple (which is about
90miles) and takes 1hr15mins at average by car but 5hrs by bus! (it doesnt

200yards and back to the country roads!)
the last 125 was built in 1988 i think!

I feels much better when you're onboard a train at that sort of speed and

Different issue/rant here now. I recently read in a freebie London
newspaper about these people who prey on children. I understand that this
is sick and that these people should be dealt with in the most severe way
possible, but my issue was with the newspaper in question, 'Metro' I think.
They basically gave a list of all the internet lingo so that parents could
understand and see if their children were at risk without letting them
know. Some of the lingo I had never heard of, and was rightfully added to
the list as it was sick, but some of the lingo was standard language on the
internet, like LOL, or ASL (boarderline, but not only perves use it I
guess), JK, and other commonly known abrieviations. The only thing that
worries me is that when these parents see people talking to their kids and
using this lingo (mainly LOL or similar), the first thing they're gonna
think is that their kid is talking to an internet paedophile.....This isn't
really that big an issue, but it could cause un-necessary worry amonst
parents. Also, it just seems that the papers should have known better,
Careful guys, no more txt tlk......lol......:ohcrap:
Cliffy
ASL isn't really perverted though...I use it all of the time because...well
two reasons:
1. There is a surprising number of adults (not pedophiles) in chat
rooms.
2. I'm more prone to talk to girls lol.
Teachers in our schools are required to take a workshop so that they know
what every abbreviation is here lol.

spying on them.

I hung out w/ a girl today who I've known for a few years and we ended up
in my bed together, watching a crappy movie that she brought over.
Before I go further, a little background:
We HAVE done sexual things together, about 3 years ago.
She's a horny mother ****er. She even screwed some guy earlier that day by
her own admission.
Though I've known her 3 years, we have only just begun hanging out again
recently.
She is a very weird girl. She once asked me a serious question that went,
"Would you rather be polka dotted or striped?" But she is not dumb or
ditzy. She's just weird, so I am not sure if the normal rules of girls
would apply directly to her.
First we were just laying and watching, then she got bored and began to, as
she called it, "snuggle" me. No problem w/ that. Then, we began to talk
about a time, a long time ago, where I played a joke on some kid, and she
said, "That's why I would never f^ck you."
Then somehow she was asking me what my "kinks" were, meaning a kinky thing
that turns you on....
I was playing w/ her hair right after and she told me not to pull her hair
because it makes her really horny.
She grabbed my ass a few times during all this also, but she tells me she
does w/ all her friends (this is likely true, if you know how she is) and
eventually fell asleep w/ her arms around me (how adorable)
We ended up doing nothing. Know why? I didn't know how to take her. Does
"don't play w/ my hair..." mean play w/ it and make me horny? Does, "that's
why I wouldn't f^ck you" mean, "I really would f^ck you."
Normally, I'd say yes, but she is different. Very different. I wouldn't put
it past her to say strange things like that in complete honesty and think
nothing of it.
But then, we HAVE done things before, and she is a horny ass girl.
I didn't want her to get offended by me trying anything. She is a good
friend.
So someone w/ some real knowledge on girls interpret this for me. I really
don't know what to think.
I am gonna hang out w/ her again soon.
Any help?
Bronxie
Next time she visits, hire a goat and sell tickets to your
friends.:mrgreen:

April 26th 1992 there was a riot on the streets
Tell me where were you you were sittin' home watchin' your tv
While I was participating in some anarchy
First spot we hit it was my liquor store
I finally got all the alcohol I can't afford
With red lights flashin' time to retire
Oh tho we turned that liquor store into a structure fire
Next stop we hit it was the music shop
It only took one brick to make the window drop
Finally we got our own p.a.
Where do you think I got this guitar that you're hearing today
When we returned to the pad to unload everything,
It dawned on me that I need new home furnishings
So once again we filled the van until it was full
Since that day my livin' room's been more comfortable
Cause everybody in the hood has had it up to here
it's getting harder and harder each and every year
Some kids went in a store with their mother
When she came out she was gettin some peppers
They said it was for the black man
They said it was for the mexican
But not for the white man
But if you look at the streets it wasn't about Rodney King
It's bout this ****ed up situation and the ****ed up police
It's about coming up and staying on top or screamin' 187
on a mofo cop
It's not written on the papers, but its written on the wall

True_Brit
You are in a bed with a girl you've previously fondled who insists on
grabbing your ass and cuddling while you make her horny with "hair
play"...dude...make a move.
It doesn't matter what her real motives are, she is giving you obvious
clues to initiate sexual contact. If she is just teasing, you won't know
until she rejects you...and if she does that, let that be the last time you
talk to that bitch playing such a dangerous game. If you continue to play
along, you are f*cking yourself and numerous guys after you by allowing her
to believe these games are ok to play. The stupid bitches that play these
"teaser" games have gotten men locked up by getting themselves raped or
"sexually harassed". **** them.
So, to not answer your question, the best thing for you to do is make a
CONFIDENT move on her. If you go in without confidence and she rejects
you, then you can't necessarily call her a teaser...you'd have to call
yourself a name. You know what I'd call you. At 20, she should know she
is flirting, so she should expect a "move". And considering that she is
"weird", she really knows what she is doing; weird, solitary people analyze
things the most. But whatever you do, while making your move, don't take
all f*cking day. That is so, like, not confident. Also, preserving the
"friendship" between you two is pointless if you want more. You'd be lying
to her and yourself. Don't lean on the friendship to p*ssy out. You
haven't seen her in like 3 years...are you really "good" friends?
Since I don't know you, her, or the exactness of the situation, I have two
opinions on her actions.
1.
She is a phony freak. Why? Well, from my experience, it is rare for a
girl her age to 'admit she screwed someone' just before coming over to
flirt. Most girls her age don't have the detachment ability nor could they
handle a public "dirty girl" image. The only type of girl her age that
I've experienced that would admit such a thing is a COMPLETE WHORE. But a
whore that is bold and dirty enough to admit she'd just slept with someong
wouldn't have wasted an evening giving indirect "hints" to a guy and not
f*ck him, let alone plan a second evening. You would bore a whore and a
whore would let you know you bored her.
or
2.
She thinks you are a joke. She says the things she says to see how you
will react, but she knows you won't make a move. You were her
entertainment. She will continue to push you to the limit until you make a
move...then she will stop...because you aren't playing her game anymore.
She may be a freak, but she doesn't want to be one with you. You just
boost her confidence.
Either way, I'm confident she is a tease that you should get rid of. You
have a Porsche; I'm sure you should be able to snag a less confusing girl.
Don't waste your time making her your friend. These type of people usually
interfere with your relationships.
I personally think your confidence is too low. If your confidence was
where it should be, she would know better than to test your nuts like this.
What
You are right: If I make a move and she doesn't like it, how can she blame
me, considering how she was acting.
But I don't think I emphasized enough how weird this girl is. For example,
she asked me once, in 100% seriousness, "Would you rather have your insides
be made of jello or pudding?" That may seem insignificant, but the idea I
get is that she may not be able to judge how people perceive you when you
say things.
She currently has "two boys", meaning guys she's screwing, and countless
people she's dating. Big turn-off, to be honest.
If she was a girl I didn't know, I wouldn't think twice, but because I have
a confidential relationship, it matters to me what she thinks.
After careful thought and your advice, I'm pretty sure she wanted some. I
forgot to mention that she even asked me if I was a virgin, which probably
is a dead giveaway that she wanted what I was not giving.
However she seems a little too dirty for my liking and I think I may try to
avoid her from now on rather than go out w/ her again. Dirty girls carry
AIDS and various other diseases.
Bronxie
Taking the "super-weirdness" into consideration, I assume she is a
free-spirited hippy type of girl...? Well, the hippy type doesn't lie, so
when she said she wouldn't f*ck you, she probably meant it...at the moment.
The hippy types also don't know what they want, so she probably wouldn't
have a problem with you moving in on her on your next "date".
I understand your health concern, but I hope this isn't an excuse to avoid
making a move on her.
What
Nah, she's probably "clean" so to speak, but if I wasn't so damn turned on
that night that I just had to **** her right then and there, maybe she just
doesn't do it for me.
I've had that problem w/ certain girls.

sake.

Physics Project: Build a Mousetrap Car
We have to make a car powered by a mousetrap. The goal is to get it to
travel the greatest distance.
Here's what a friend and I are thinking of doing, but I figured why not ask
here since some people might know a thing or two about physics lol.
Here's a photochop of what I'm thinking of doing:
http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b323/chris_knows/mousetrapcar.jpg
Basically the mousetrap pulls an audio cassette film which is wound around
a spool, which turns the rear wheels. I read that smaller front wheels and
large rear ones will provide the greatest distance.
Any ideas on how to maximize distance? Any help is appreciated.
chris_knows
I PM him osometimes, especially when I see he's here....but I don't usually
get a reply. :ohcrap:
I'd imagine it would bring in quite a bit what with advertising etc....yes,
some people do pay for it, lol.
Cliffy
to get the greatest distance, you want to minimize resistance, ball
bearings are a good idea, but i think they might add to much weight to be
worth it, wooden dowel through a bushing will probably be better. You also
want to gear it up so that it can just barely accelerate, but it will
travel the greatest distance. trial and error is probably the only way to
find the proper spool/wheel size. i built one once but i didnt have time to
test it and i had put wheels that were just a little too big, and it didnt
move without help:oops:
dvdrose18
I'm thinking of drilling holes in the disk too. I'll make sure to try out
different spools. Bushings like the small plastic bearing-shaped things?
Thanks for the help so far :thumbs:
chris_knows
like a hard plastic or metal lining around the hole, just to smooth out the
hole, not tight around the axle, but not so loose that it wobbles
i assume your running them on a hard surface, otherwise you might want
wider wheels
dvdrose18
Gotcha...I'll look around for them. We are doing it on a hard surface
(tile), but I forgot to ask whether elastic bands would help and whether to
use them only on the rear or not.
chris_knows
they would help if you need extra traction, but if torque is low enough,
they may not be necessary, but it wouldn't hurt. if there are bumps, like
betwean the tiles, you might want bigger wheels, front and back, and a
little more torque, also remember the oomph put out by the trap will
decrease as it travels further, so you want to gear it to utilize the full
travel of the trap, and you might not want to tie the tape to the spool, so
once the spool unwinds, the tape will fall off, so it can coast freely.
dvdrose18
I'll let it coast freely at the end, but I'm wondering if rubber bands
would add significant rotational mass and end up slowing it down.
chris_knows
i assume you've checked to make sure the mouse trap won't snap the audio
tape, while still imparting enough force to drive your car?
windsonian
I'm building it on the weekend, but I don't think it will...The car will
probably weigh like 300g, and it won't go really fast, but I'll test it and
use yarn instead.

That's actually going to be a long arm to pull the film.
chris_knows
i may be wrong here, but extra rotational mass may not be all that bad,
because it is not lost energy like friction, it will increase the
rotational inertia, making it harder to get it turning but keep it coasting
longer. but i guess you might have to gear it down a little, which could
potentialy reduce the range a little i guess, not 100% sure.

Oh no! Can't you draw back on your "ex" Physics degree program to answer
this! Come on!
I was an ex-fashion major for 5 seconds, and ever since I've been able to
spot all of the trends. What has your ex-major done for you lately?
What
i said that i was an ex physics major to show that i had an interest in
physics, not to say i knew everything about physics. I showed my uncertanty
so that someone who might know better can correct me without bashing me for
asserting somthing incorrect as fact. i like to be able to think logicaly
through things, not to memorize the answer to every question. i was trying
to show that that was how i understood it, and my understanding has been
wrong before. I'm not trying to start an argument, just trying to clarify.
dvdrose18
I'm thinking of using balloons instead of rubber bands for grip. I've heard
of other people using them without good results.
chris_knows
I would imagine the trick is to keep the mass down, slip eliminated and
friction to a minimum. So the least number of wheels the better, the slower
the release of energy the better.
It would be interesting to see if you spooled the string on a tapered drum,
whether it would maintain a constant speed; you would need an idler or
grooves to stop the string unfurling to the small radius.
Wally
Thanks for the input, Wally...I'll use the biggest spool possible, but
probably not tapered, although I might try it with a tapered drum after the
project, just to see what will happen though.
chris_knows
Not into torque convertors?
Wally
Would that be the idler pulley? Would it be easier to get the best ratio so
that the mousetrap releases its energy slowest?

This post is in reference to why I think calling members on the forum is
weird...SyntheticTrust doesn't understand why I think her calling Bronxie
is weird.
It's awkward.
"Can I call you my dear internet buddy of the opposite sex? Can we be
friends and only friends in real life?"
Awkward.
Unless I'm buying something from a person I met on the internet, I have no
desire to talk to any them. And you have an idea that Bronxie finds you
attractive.
What type of respect do you have for your boyfriend...I mean FIANCE? Jesus
Christ, your boyfriend...fiance must not know he has a woman who is blindly
inviting problems into the relationship.
You're too young to get married...and you don't even know it.
What
im not even a bit surprised Bronxie is giving a woman fashion advice....is
that wrong. hey bronxie have you ever pulled the "Gay friend but would like
to try sex with a woman trick, i bet you have. I can stereotype with the
best of them.
BanffAutoSpa_ap
I don't know Bronxie, it isn't looking good.
You're "just friends" with numerous women, you turn down sex with woman,
you give fashion advice to women, and you wear pink shirts...this is sissy

I've heard it all before...
You younger people, I swear. Always trying to hold on to the independence
no one is trying to take away from you.
If you expect your MARRIAGE to work, you better RESPECT your husband by not
initiating or reciprocating a continued friendship with guys who are openly
sexually interested in you.
You are screaming insecurity...how unattractive is that. You aren't ready
to be married. You desire too much attention from others...or maybe your
man ain't doin' it right.
Tell your fiance you talk on the phone with a guy who thinks you're hot and
see how he responds.
Yes. I don't give a sh*t.

I've been saving up some money and am wondering whether or not to spend it
on a computer. I know a couple of members have built computers on these

months or so, spending about $200...What I wanna know is; will it remain a
good gaming computer for at least 3 or 4 years? What other options do I
have?

doesnt sound like many options :umh:

they simply lost the most in a day ever since 9/11. :2cents:

year-to-date, the markets are pretty close to where they started (Jan.1,

britains in a fuel crisis sort of thing!!!
the whole of mostly the south of the uk is affected with contaminated
petrol and diesel apparently!
click here (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/6406801.stm)
so expect cliffy complaining of his car keep breaking down!!!:laughing:
True_Brit
I never put petrol in it these days, lol. I heard about the crisis though.
Obviously it's not too good for the car, but it's not as bad as putting the
wrong fuel in it, lol.
Cliffy
There's been a bit of a gas shortage here too...Prices have went up, but
should go down soon. I saw on the news people were getting out of the cars
and yelling at the gas attendants to open the pumps :laughing:.
chris_knows
Our fuel isn't short (for once!), some of it is contaminated though.
Obviously that's not good, but so far the consequences havn't been that
bad, just the engine management systems on some newer cars have been
affected I think...I think older cars might even be OK. I used to stick
contaminated fuel in my old Corolla all the time (Was stuff we had taken
out of cars that 'miss-fueled' so to speak.....).

The only computers i have ever had were built by my dad, if you build it
proper it could last for probably 2-3 years max for top of the line games,
what do you plan on playing or are playing now? the thing you have to
realize it there wont be a 24/7 tech line to help you trouble shoot all the
bugs, ive never had one that worked perfect from day one but damnt they
were fast and cheap, so make sure you have some wicked computer knowledge
or wicked research skills to trouble shoot yourself.
BanffAutoSpa_ap
There are plenty of books and stuff that show how to do it, but I'll make
sure I have some more resources before starting.
The games out now that I want to play are like Splinter Cell: Double Agent,
and Rainbow Six: Vegas...Mostly first-person shooter games, but also some
racing games and stuff too. I'll really have to think it over whether to
build it or not, because +$2,000 for a computer seems like a waste of
money, but if it's going to last for a while, it doesn't seem that bad lol.
chris_knows
if you want hassle free your best bet is usally something prebuilt, and
alienware makes some kick ass packages, get one built for extreme BF2
gaming and it should be able to play anything on the planet for at least a
couple years.

I watched F&F:Tokyo Drift today. Obviously not the most realistic film ever
made, but good all the same! I couldn't help but wonder how much Vin Diesel
got paid for his 30-second appearance in the movie. Anybody know?
:laughing:
Cliffy
I thought Alienware overpriced their stuff. I would buy one pre-built, but
I can't find exactly what I want - for example 2 AMD FX-72 processors on
the ASUS L1N64 nVidia nForce 680a motherboard, with a eVGA AR GeForce
8800GTX GPU. (Just throwing out random things) and most places don't offer
those combinations. I'll definitely look at Alienware though, thanks
:thumbs:
chris_knows
they may be overpriced like i said ive never bought a prebuilt, but they
make a BF2 specific frame rate pusher. My dad likes getting into heavy
overclocking and cooling to acheive awesome numbers
BanffAutoSpa_ap
When you get a car, you're going to be asking yourself why you spent $2000+
on a computer and even more for upgrades and games when your old computer
would have gotten you by. Maybe the average person wouldn't, but you seem
like a car enthusiast. Unless your a computer guy as well, then I guess
you'd ask yourself why you spend $2000 to make your car 1 second faster in
the quarter mile when you could've gotten a nearly top-of-the-line
computer.
giant016
I can't find the BF2 specific system, but the more time I spend on that
website, the more I think those things look amazing and have great setups.
I might get one from there instead of building.
EDIT: Just saw this
Yeah, that's a good point. I'll have to decide which to buy first. I won't
really do too many upgrades to my car when I get it (almost definitely
under $1,500)

I just saw the Discovery Channel special "The Lost Tomb of Jesus", and

Something like this might work:

About the Brits. I heard on the news that your schools were going to stop
teaching about the Holocaust or Crusades because it might be offensive to
Muslim students. I heard that at this rate, by 2050 Europe will be pretty
much run by Islam. Sounds like a pretty serious situation.

I hate the way the world is today. A friend of mine told me last year that
his son's school would not take his son to visit a church, but instead took
the class to visit a Mosque. Now I have nothing against teaching children
about different religions, but surely they should start with what most
children see as religious?

The National Transportation Safety Board recently divulged they had
covertly" funded a project with the U.S. automakers for the past 5 years,
whereby the automakers were installing black-box voice recorders in 4-wheel
drive pickup trucks and SUV's in an effort to determine in fatal accidents,
the circumstances in the last 15 seconds before the crash.
They were surprised to find in 48 of the 50 states the recorded last words
of drivers in 61.2 percent of fatal crashes were, "Oh Sh*t !"
Only Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan were
different, where 89.3 percent of the final words were: "Hold my beer, I'm
gonna try somethin.":banghead:

A FEW MINUTES LATER, A PHONE RANG. THE SECOND YOUNG WOMAN LIFTED HER PALM

A guy driving a Yugo pulls up at a stoplight next to a Rolls-Royce. The
driver of the Yugo rolls down his window and shouts to the driver of the
Rolls, "Hey, buddy, that's a nice car. You got a phone in your Rolls? I've
got one in my Yugo!"
The driver of Rolls looks over and says simply, "Yes I have a phone."
The driver of the Yugo says, "Cool! Hey, you got a fridge in there too?
I've got a fridge in the back seat of my Yugo!"
The driver of the Rolls, looking annoyed, says, "Yes, I have a
refrigerator."
The driver of the Yugo says, "That's great, man! Hey, you got a TV in
there, too? You know, I got a TV in the back seat of my Yugo!"
The driver of the Rolls, looking very annoyed by now, says, "Of course I
have a television. A Rolls-Royce is the finest luxury car in the world!"
The driver of the Yugo says, "Very cool car! Hey, you got a bed in there,
too? I got a bed in the back of my Yugo!" Upset that he did not have a bed,
the driver of the Rolls-Royce sped away, and went straight to the dealer,
where he promptly ordered that a bed be installed in the back of the Rolls.
The next morning, the driver of the Rolls picked up the car, and the bed
looked superb, complete with silk sheets and brass trim. It was clearly a
bed fit for a Rolls Royce.
So the driver of the Rolls begins searching for the Yugo, and he drove all
day. Finally, late at night, he finds the Yugo parked, with all the windows
fogged up from the inside. The driver of the Rolls got out and knocked on
the Yugo.
When there wasn't any answer, he knocked and knocked, and eventually the
owner stuck his head out, soaking wet. "I now have a bed in the back of my
Rolls-Royce," the driver of the Rolls stated arrogantly.
The driver of the Yugo looked at him and said, "You got me out of the
shower to tell me THIS?"

While I'm here in this useful thread, I will mention a finding of mine. I
was bored and randomly checking through CF, and I noticed that the calender
we have only goes up to 2006. I guess it's no big deal, as it's the dates
that are important, not the days.....I just found it strange, I guess it's
just that CF needs upgrading or something? :thumbs:

mention the degrading lyrics in rap (as much as I love it). Frankly, I feel

Have you heard about the Mexican government holding him on $500,000 bail

I think Imus should have been fired because of sponsors dropping ads from
the show. If a person is losing you $, you gotta drop his ass. However,
Obama calling for him to be fired is rediculous to me. This is AMERICA.
Although not every word out of your mouth is protected by freedom of
speech, Imus was expressing his opinion. If you're trying to be the
president of the US, how can you go against one of our most important
principals. I kind of liked Obama before this.
And for those brits that don't know who Imus is, he's a crappy radio host
who called the Rutger's (college) women's Basketball team a bunch of knappy
haired hoes.
giant016
Yeah, but if Al Sharpton hadn't made such a big deal out of it, the

What DO they have? Like I said, I didn't see it (nor any comercials for it)
Satty101
The only cool car was a new Charger. There was an older F150, an SUV, and
I think a station wagon. There are a lot of competitors in this race but
they only focus on 4-5 teams.
giant016
New Charger=not cool IMO...
Kinda sucks. Probably budget TV show?
Satty101
Definitely not a budget show. I think they want to focus more on the
characters rather than the cars. Although I heard that the episode last
night had a 1970 Challenger, even though they call it a 1972.
giant016
That could be. Just because they have the cars, doesn't mean they know jack
about them (look at The Fast and the Furious for example)

Question: I started working out a couple of days ago (if you don't know
why, check out any of the pics I've posted of myself lol), generally weight
lifting (bench press, standing bar curls, dumbbell curls, etc) and sit ups,
leg curls, etc., for about 45-60 minutes a day. How often should I be doing
these? I've read like 3-4 times a week, but If I don't do them one day,
I'll end up skipping a week before starting again. Basically, is it okay to
exercise on a daily basis? Like will it slow down muscle growth?
BTW T_B, that would probably be so much fun lol...If I get the balls, I'd
like to try that eventually lol.
chris_knows
the thing about muscles, the more you beat on them (sometimes literally)
the more they will grow and become tougher
you might see a bowflex ad saying you only have to do it 3 times a week for
20 mins a day. but that is just to sell the product to fat lazy people
the truth is, you can work out every single day for an hour or more each
day and the more burning you feel the more good you've done for yourself,
if you try flexing your muscles and it feels like mush. youve got the
right idea :laughing: but really though, you cant hurt yourself
from too much working out, besides random things like dropping a dumbbell
:ohcrap:
thats how I do it anyway, im only 100 lbs too but I can bench that and a
half
nighthawk
It's not about hurting myself, but which way is quicker lol...
100 lbs? I'm like 140 lol...But can only bench like 110.
chris_knows
basically the more it feels like you've worked out too much, the faster
you will get bigger, because every time a muscle repairs itself, it
becomes stronger than before, but only little by little. its not like
you will feel much stronger after one week, but after maybe 3 months you
might notice you can pick up much heavier things and other stuff like that
( or just notice the working out is getting easier lol)
and yeah, im only 100 lbs mainly because im only like 5 foot 2 lol

Oh...I'm like 5'10" or 11". Are all Newfies that short?

lots of time to figure out what you want in life, dont get tied down now!!!
by all means have a boyfriend and get drunk and party all the time, but
dont get married this early. you haven't even lived yet!
there i'm done with my short rant about marriage!! lol
glagon1979
Nighthawk is wrong. You can over work yourself...but I doubt Chris Knows
would reach that level. 5-6 days a week is ideal for max muscle growth.
Your muscles need rest to grow.
People tear muscles from over working themselves, and some people, like
distance runners, burn muscle from working out to much. There is a
limit...we are human beings.
The best way to gain results is to EAT. Without lots of lean meat going
into your body, you will grow slow or not at all. Eating is the hardest
part for smaller guys.
By the way, I've got you all beat:
I'm 5'10 202 and I bench 355lb and squat 475. I'm a beast.
What
He'll come back? Why wait? You're 20...you shouldn't be wasting your time
waiting for guys to "come back". You're setting yourself up for a
desperate love-life. You are using your best dating years to wait for
someone who doesn't want you. Don't be so stupid. Meet people damnit.
Aren't you starting school soon? They'll be plenty people there to
fuc...err...meet.
It's exciting to discover the differences between different mates. And
eventually you'll find out how much your current boyfriend sucks and you'll
narrow down the human traits that you really value in a man...and find a
husband that suits you best.
I don't know much about you, but if I were to guess one thing about your
life, you don't live with your father.
Tbaxleyjr, I don't know what year it was when you last dated around, but
your advice sounds out-dated and you are giving way too much credit to
these "kids". Sure, you can "force fit" the real reason behind the
"break-up" into your reasoning...but come on...their 19.
From what I know, this is a short distance relationship turned
long-distance. So why do I think he wants to end it? He's meeting new
bitches with totally different personalities from SyntheticTrust...and the
differences are turning him on. NEW BITCHES AWAY FROM MY GIRLFRIEND!!!
That's like kryptonite for a 19 year old's relationship.
He doesn't need counseling, there isn't anything SyntheticTrust can give
him that'll make him stay...he's just being 19. Can you blame him? He was
going to get married...thus ENDING HIS ENTIRE DATING LIFE. That would've
scared me into some new nooky too. I'm happy for the kid. I hope he is
enjoying himself. This was the best thing for both of them. This would
have been a failed marriage for sure.
SyntheticTrust doesn't need any "private couseling" tbaxleyjr. You're over
reacting and over-respecting this thing. Don't dramatize this shit. This
is a youthful occurence that definitely should have happened. Your private
talks will do nothing more than lengthen the recovery time by making her
reflect. She doesn't need reflection, she needs to bury this shit because
it means nothing. She shouldn't remember this kid.
They'll both look back on this and cringe when they think about the
engagement.
What
Yup. Pros generally take a day off a week to just rest. And even then, they
only work a muscle as primary once a week. Although, with the colorado
experiment, there were insane results with working out for something like
twice a week for 40 minutes each.
It's not so much lean meat, but jsut getting a caloric excess through
eating natural. If it's something that grows/lives on the earth, and it's
untainted by mcdonaldized america, shove it in your mouth.
I'll bet you do :rolleyes:. E-stats are E-stats. We need to see a youtube
video. Dieselweasel?
Godlaus
That's a horrible routine. Go look up Rippetoe's starting strength, Bill
Starr's 5x5, or Joe DeFranco's Westside.
Then, start eating everything natural, and eat it even when you're not
hungry. That's the idea of caloric excess.
You should be taking in 3000-3500 calories a day. Depending on who you ask,
anywhere between 1g for 1kg of bodyweight, or 3x your bodyweight (lbs) in
protein.
Try to stay away from un-natural carbs, and only use them for pre-workout
and post-workout meals. And even then, try to keep the quantity down.
I highly suggest rippetoe's, and doing cardio on tuesday and thursday.
Godlaus
You can't just tell him to eat at random. When I was trying to grow, I ate
every 3 hours...and I kept a watch on my wrist that beeped every 3 hours to
remind myself.
Why should he stay away from "unnatural" carbs? If by "unnatural" you mean
"nutritional supplements" like protein powders and creatine...getting 3x
his body weight (grams-to-pounds) will be impossible through food alone.
You NEED a protein powder to intake that much and still be able to move.
But that much protein is too much for what I suspect he'll be doing. But
even if he wants to ingest only his own body weight (in grams you dipshits)
in protein per day, a powder would definitely help. That's a lot of meat,
and measurement of a meat's protein isn't as accurate as something out of a
bottle.
One of the best ways to beef up a skinny bastard like Chris is to get his
family involved. They're probably disgusted of his womanly frame, and will
be more than happy to encourage his growth with extra servings at the
dinner table and reminders that he needs to work out. He should educate
them on his intake "health" goals so they don't fry-food his ass to
starscream0/Glagon-like lardness.
Couple months ago, I posted pics of myself. I was in the 190's
then...BavarianWheels likened my body to a mannequin. Now I'm in the
200's; he'd call me a Greek God. Why would I lie.
What
I don't workout too seriously. As I said, like 45 minutes a day and pretty
much Monday through Friday (haven't decided on Saturdays yet).
So I should eat only or almost only fruit and vegetables? What about
meat?
I can't find much on Mark Ripptoe's, Bill Starr's or Joe Defranco's workout
routines, but I'll be sure to find them. Do fruits and vegetables have lots
of calories? The protein brings up another question. Should I take whey or
is that for more serious lifters?
Would biking like 3 times a week (like an hour each time) count as
sufficient cardio?
So I need to eat natural food on a schedule? I'm wondering how to gain more
weight actually...I eat what I want, when I want, but it doesn't do
anything. My parents know I've started working out, but I'm still pretty
motivated to ask them to remind me.
BTW I think you guys might be going to far with this...All I want is some
more muscle...Not to enter competitions...Just, you know...Impress some
girls lol.
All input's greatly appreciated, thanks everyone :thumbs:.
chris_knows
F*ck that "natural food" bullshit. No one knows what he's talking about.
Meat is necessary. Whey protein is the best protein...this month according
to research. I say "this month" because the experts change their mind so
fast. I remember there was a time when experts "discovered" that water and
milk were bad.
Eating what you want when you want is not good enough because you probably
aren't eating enough. Eat on a schedule...you will realise how much you
didn't eat.
I don't know where Godlaus gets his info, but how much does he weigh? I
think I have more experience in gaining weight then that sucker.
I wouldn't follow someone elses workout routine...here is a good website
that'll give you some workout ideas.
http://www.exrx.net/Exercise.html
Biking is great cardio if you're biking HARD.
What
I think her ex clarified that already. If anything, you confused her and
others on this forum by possibly placing some blame on SyntheticTrust with
this statement...
Whatever you meant by this, I can tell you that you've tainted the
boyfriend's crystal clear message.
I agree on this statement, but that wasn't a message I was trying to
communicate in my post.
Distance between them stimulated the almost inevitable between these two
engaged 19 year olds: A break up.
I don't believe you are encouraging this young person to wait on this young
man.
Call it counseling or call it a "private talk", but I call it unnecessary
attention to a subject that should be forgotten as fast as possible. I'd
rather see you PM Chris_Knows on his struggle to gain weight. Your
"encouraging" PM to her has added to the drama...believe it or not.
This sounds like political jargon to win the crowd away from me. Paint me
as a barbarian with no respect for anything...you as this wise man who
values love. How could they "side" with me?
Don't trick these kids out of my message.
What
Yeah, I couldn't stick to a no meat diet, but certainly it's healthier to
eat pork chops (or some home-made meal) would be better than McDonalds. So
should I go with a protein booster or just stick to regular meals?
I need some sort of routine, and those have been proven. That website gives
lots of info and reading materials. Thanks :thumbs:.
chris_knows
That's true but why do you think that?
SyntheticTrust
This is true as well. He used to live here but moved away not to long ago.
He better not have met "new personalities" he promised he was faithful..
What sucks the most is he did this after I put in my two weeks notice.

I've dated several people and was observant of their personality traits.
Certain things in a women's life shape the way a woman behaves...family
being a major one. Through your posts, (the relationship ones in
particular) I've noticed that you have traits similar to women I've dated
that don't live with their father. That's not your only trait...I've
experienced several women with most if not all of your traits. I can
probably guess your life and guess your reactions in a relationship.
If you dated me...I'd be your nightmare...or your savior?
But I don't know everything, and everyone has a few surprises...but you
seem like a push-over. I don't date push-overs...I do "stick" them. But
stickin' alone doesn't crush women...so you'd avoid the nightmare...or
unfortunately...the savior....???
I'm so good at women.
.............
It makes little sense to make someone promise to be faithful...let alone be
surprised if he breaks that promise.
BUT YOU PROMISED!
Well, I didn't know I was going to cheat.<----I used to tell them.
Now-a-days, I handle this much differently.
But ya boy is young, he will lie to you. Seriously, it is like retarded of
you to ask for such a retarded "promise". A growing relationship should
have expectations, not promises. And if he is cheating and you find
out...don't focus on the f*cking promise....BUT YOU PROMISED!!!....I used
to laugh in the dorm room hallway at those arguments.
Don't ask your next boyfriend to promise anything about the relationship.
Tell him what you EXPECT. You will jump the relationship 3 years in
maturity by doing so.
And how does your "2-weeks notice" relate to your boyfriend? Were you
moving with him? Was he going to pay you what your job payed you? If he
wasn't, then either way you're coming up short on money. Nothing's
changed. Maybe I'm being an ass, or maybe I'm being realistic.
What
I always suggest protein because it is so hard and expensive to get a good
dosage of protein from table food.
As far as protein powders go, I personally use IsoPure Zero Carb Whey
protein isolate...50 grams of protein per serving...25 per scoop. It comes
in a gray bottle. But it's kinda of expensive...for a kid: $51.99 from the
GNC in The Mall of Louisiana. GNC has a store brand that's cheaper and
probably just as effective, but it tastes like gag-reflex.
If you really want to be like me, get the Mango-Peach flavor and mix it
with Tropicana Orange juice from a 64 oz bottle with lots of pulp.
If you have to stick to food only, I'd suggest eating Tilapia fish. It is
a very cheap fish that tastes good (to me) and it has the highest
protein-dosage per pound than any food I can think of.
What
I don't want to spend too much money unless it makes a difference, but
isn't protein protein? Like don't you get the same amount of protein from
something that costs $20 and something that's $50?
I eat tilapia probably like every one or two weeks.
chris_knows
I know these things when a girl says she's hott she's ugly
when a girl says she's hott she's ugly

So are you ugly:doh: or hott:drool: (bet you like how I use 2 t's) lol
or i could see a pic and decide for myself
slurm6969
There is no use for you to buy the $50 stuff I use. Yes there are slight
differences...allegedly. But you should be fine with some $20 stuff. If
you decide to buy this stuff, don't let the gym geeks at the counter talk
you into anything besides cheap whey protein.
I buy the $50 stuff mostly for the taste and I have better "digesting
experiences" with it.
Maybe you're trying to get some extra un-classy pics from SyntheticTrust,
but I recall her pm'ing you some pics of herself a while back. Sorry if
I'm cock-blocking...sorry for you. What type of perv gets off on clothed
internet pictures.

I can put up with the taste, but I want to remain regular lol...I'll do
some research before buying it I guess.
chris_knows
wow I missed a lot, yeah, I never thought about how you do need SOME

doesnt start off by telling you how much hes in love with you when he first
meets you .... because he's not, he is saying those things so he can check
to see if the carpet matches the drapes, find someone that genuinely wants
to hang out with you or get to know you. and not just shovel lies in your
mouth so he can put other things in there also. what did he say?

Got out of class today.. Both right side tires FLAT... SPENT THREE HOURS
TO GET NEW TIRES AT THE DEALERSHIP.. THREE HOURS!!!!!!!! and freaking $900
bucks.
SyntheticTrust
least the guy at the dealership added me on myspace lol
SyntheticTrust
What the hell are you driving on?! I felt crazy for spending $200 per
tire. I don't even think I've seen tires for over $400. Honestly, they
charge $10 to mount a tire around here, and they'll even bolt it on for you
for free. Please tell me that there was something alse on the bill. 3
hours?
giant016
Tires were 189 a piece
15 per tire to mount
89 for an alignment check
The tires are called bridgestone ... runflat tires my ass.
I officially hate cars... and interstates with screws lying around..
SyntheticTrust
Did you run them flat to the Dealership? :laughing:
Cliffy
haha yes I did.. I had a spare on one though.. They need to pack cars with
more than one spare tire! Sheesh lol
SyntheticTrust
Yea, beacuse two ofte puncture or blowout at the same time, lol. It's a
space thing, I mean, you're lucky to even get a full sized spare these
days! Usually you have to make do with either a tube of foam or a pace
saver, lol....I recon a good 'ol ful sized spare is the way to go!
Cliffy
once again.. i hate guys.... fights sucks...
SyntheticTrust
I layed my first bike down last night...HONDA cbr 600......****ing my knee
is the size of a basketball....Bikes are ****ing HEAVY...and what pisses me
off...there are more brusies on me then scratches on the bike,
SyntheticTrust
How much alcohol did you hve in your system? :ohcrap:
Cliffy
None what so ever.. I was the DD and we were coming back from bourbon
street...stopped at this guys house that was on myspace..he had a
bike...rode it...layed it down and he still let us crash there.
SyntheticTrust
You should always be the DD considering you aren't legally old enough to
drink in the first place. :2cents:
97Talonchik
I wrapped my brain and came to the conclusion that "DD" stands for
"Designated Driver". Would I be right? :wink2:
Cliffy
by golly are righty O!
SyntheticTrust
not tryin to sound like some rebel hardass teenager, but honeslty who waits
till they're 21 to drink. im not gonna lie i drink, most of the times its
with my parents, does it make them bad parents? no, not at all. they know
its gonna happen so in an attempt to keep me from drinking an driving, they
dont care if i drink around them, they've seen me drunker then ive ever
been, an instead of yelling at me they sat back an said damn hes gonna feel
like shit in the morning, an if im goin out to a buddies to drink i tell
them an then i jus sleep in my truck cause they trust me enough to do that,
but just my 2 cents
hhsrastler92
I never drank until I was 21. Perhaps I was just brought up differently. I
still won't drink and drive EVER. Regardless if I have had only one drink.
97Talonchik
the sad reality is... that people do it.. and believe that they're
invincible, and yet, while you do the right thing, it doesn't entirely save
you from the effects of drunk drivers. I will have a couple of beers then
drive, but only if I'm confident that I'd be under the limit if i were
pulled over. That seems to be a pretty good guide. I've never felt that I
was not in control of my actions behind the wheel because of alcohol....
and it also means I won't lose my licence because of stupidity :wink2:
windsonian
Meh, my :2cents: is that if you're gonna drink, just do it in moderation.
99integra
I think our age of drinking should be increased to something like yours is
in the US. 18 is too young in my opinion. Having said that, would it make
any difference? Sure it would make the pubs and clubs better places I'm
sure, but what about anti-social behaviour on the streets? I believe our
sentences for Drink Driving are similar to those that you mention, tbax,
although Prison isn't really used as a punishment....probably due to the
lack of space.
Cliffy
I thought I'd Copy/Paste the following from the thread I started about
things that annoy you about driving, to here as a way of keeping that one
reasonably 'On-Topic'.
I don't agree with us being a Politically Correct nation, but because
that's how I've always known it (in recent years it's become alot more so,
granted), I tend to agree that hurling racist abuse isn't acceptable.
Freedom of speach is a great thing to have, but people can use it all too
often as justification for their actions, which I believe is wrong.
Regarding our smoking ban, I agree with that to an extent. I see what
you're saying, and I too believe that;
A) if taking in secondhand smoke is that important to you, you don't go to
the Pub
and
B) Landlords/ladies should have the right to chose whether or not their
establisment becomes a smoke-free one!
I also don't agree with what Rail companies are doing and having no smoking
on platforms, as it's in the open. I can see why it's like that, and that
at least this way people can't play the ignorant "I didn't know....blah
blah blah". I don't smoke, so I don't see why I should have to take in
second hand smoke just because I happen to be walking through a shopping
centre (mall?) behind a smoker. In my opinion though, drinking in public
would have been banned first, for obviously different reasons, but
important ones nonetheless :2cents:
Cliffy
In other random news, I have to sell my new car already because I'm f*cking

Oh and the Firebird and the Z28 are going.

Used. It's actually worth more than I paid for it so I'll sell it for the

no...and no...

why are men such babies? I have two missed calls from 307 AM and 400

fault and he wants that on my concious (sp)
SyntheticTrust
Hes a dumbass for driving drunk. I hope they put his ass in prison before
he hurts someone.
Im going to see Stoney Larue tonight at billy bobs, gonna be a great show.
Enthusiast
He's not a baby. This is what lame guys with a short list of
"instant-bang" chicks do when they get horny. You're probably one of two,
or his only "insta-bang" girl. He just wanted some, and your the only one
that'll call him back and entertain him. The baby in him will leave once
you stroke them out of him. You know what I mean.
What
....lol
mazda6man
Damn, yet again What has taken the words outta my mouth...sounds like a
failed attempt at a drunken bootycall.
If he was actually whining, he's not a man, men aren't babies. There is
more to being a man than a pair of physical testicles.
Men also don't drive drunk. They say "Bitch, I'm sleeping here, what are
you gonna do about it".
giant016
So tell me, do any of you guys drive sober in your neck of the woods?
:laughing:
Cliffy
I do.
I'm pretty sure I live within 5 minutes of SyntheticTrust. But on a side
note, here's an old pic of my engine. It's finished and cleaner now.

What
How close are you to slidell? Come shoot pool!
SyntheticTrust
Woah, I thought you lived in Belle Chase. Slidell is like almost an hour
away from me.
What
I grew up in Belle Chasse right behind the highschool off BC HWY. But now
I'm living in the Slidell area.. BC isnt that far from the dell. about 30
mins if there's no traffic over the High Rise or on the damn Twin Span now
that they close one lane every day for hours.. Cant wait for the new bridge
to be finished in like 2010.. I hear it's suppossed to be a 4 laner. That
will be awesome... What city are you from? If you dont want to say it over
the net, what city are you closest to? If you're 5 minutes from Belle
Chasse, you're about 15 from New Orleans, we are going to Bourbon tonight.
I'm easy to find. Come hang out.
SyntheticTrust
I grew up in Gretna; I don't know if you're familiar with StoneBridge. I
go back home like every week, but I currently live in Baton Rouge. Oh,
it's so boring. 2:00 a.m. curfews, no alcohol after like 12, and no
walking from hangout to hangout ala New Orleans. It's occasionally fun up
here, but for real fun I go home.
I don't think you or your friends could handle the energy of me and my
crew. We tear it down. But if I ever see you on Bourbon, I'll call you
out, and watch you blush. Just don't take my picture.
What
My best friend lives in BR. She works at the All Pets Animal Hospital.. I
pretty confindent I could hang with your crew.... I'm pretty tough. You'll
find me either at Uptopia, Club 544 is my fav cause my best friend Joey is
the bouncer, or Razoos.
SyntheticTrust
My sister is living in Gretna now.. withher booty call of the month... Have
you ever had Antiones?
SyntheticTrust
As in the super-gourmet pastry place? Yes, I've had it. Too much of it.
Every women in my family loves their stuff. I, however, find it a little
too gourmet. A little too much sugar, too much icing, too much
filling...etc. It's a good place to bring out-of-towners to try pastries
they can't finish though.
The real truth behind my distaste for Antiones is because I was forced to
eat their or some other imitation King Cake for years after Mckenzies went
out of business. I liked the plain King Cakes and donuts from Mckenzies,
but I'm forced to indulge the sh*t from Winn Dixie or other poo grocery
stores, or some super cheese cake deluxe, cinnamon filled, russian cake
flavored QUEEN cake from Antiones. The sh*t is so dense and heavy it's
ridiculous. But my mother loves it. I like it somedays too...I admit.
I don't go to Bourbon clubs as much as I used to, but I do still go to
them...so maybe one day we'll randomly meet and have wild sex. I just hope
you don't fall in love.
What
Doesn't Antoine's have a full menu too? I think that is where I went a
couple of years ago when I was in town for a wedding. We got brunch there
and I remember the drinks being great. ...maybe that's what made the meal
so great for me too! Gretna's a great area. I have family living there.
boothe
Yeah, they are a bit heavy on the icing..and it's too sticky from all the
sugar at the bottom. I just eat the top.. I can NEVER finish my king cake.
Good though.. I LOVE McKenzie's!!!! SOOOOOOO good. You know honestly...
I've never had a Queen cake.. In all my years... never bought one.. Next
Mardi Gras I will.
Now about this bourbon thing.. I'll PM you my cell number and we'll
definetly have to meet up and party when you feel like it.. The falling in
love? Nope... I'm done with love... The wild sex? hmmmm lol
SyntheticTrust
It's in a 1987 Ford Mustang GT. Here is a picture from my camera phone
when the car was about to get dyno'ed.
http://img209.imageshack.us/img209/9494/94582936be7.jpg[/IMG]
"[I]I'm done with love..."
Sure...
Let's get the party started.
What
I exchanged those valve covers the day after I took that picture. I didn't
like the oil filler cap on those...it was difficult to remove and install.
I have black valve covers now with "Cobra" written on it.
The 5-speed manual transmission is stock.
I've pretty much redone the entire engine: Upgraded the block, increased
displacement from 302 to 347 ci, aluminum heads, different cam, different
intake, upgraded fuel system, upgraded exhaust...etc.
All my money bought me 365 rwhp and 402 lb-ft tq
Nothing major done to the suspension besides replacing worn parts with
newer parts. I'll be lowering it soon though.
I'm re-doing the interior in August during my vacation. Everything inside
will be black. I'll post pics if I'm not banned by then.
What
I have returned to inform everyone that I have traded in my beautiful
Porsche Boxster for my dream car... a Lotus Elise.
The better news is that it the insurance and registration are both in my
name.
I do not have it yet. I am fedexing my credit application tomorrow and
Monday they will overnight the dealer the check. The car is prepped and
awaiting its new owner's arrival.
If you wish to see the car, it is here.
http://lotusofgreenwich.com/cars.php?cat=lotus&carid=1846&subcat=elise
I cannot express how elated I am. Thank you everyone here for changing my
outlook on cars and opening my mind to new possibilities. If not for the
users here, I would likely still be stuck on luxury sedans.
To 'What': Corvette feels like a dump truck compared to this machine :D (a
very, very fast dump truck)
Bronxie
Congrats man! The last autoX I went to there were 3 Lotus' (Lutusi?
What's the plural?) and they did quite well, and looked good doing so. Is
it true that if you're foot is over a size 10 it won't fit/shifting is a
problem?
giant016
I wear size 14s and I do everything fine. When I first drove a Lotus, I
wore 16s.
So no .. definitely a tall tale. A Lotus is only hard to get into. After
that, it's perfectly comfy.
You're welcome to drive it.
Bronxie
Wanna teach me to drive stick? None of my friends/parents have manuals so
I never got to learn.:banghead:
If I was more proficient in stick I'd take you up on the offer in a second,
but since I don't know what I'm doing I'd feel bad about burning up your
clutch. Maybe if I'm in the area I'll see if I can roll shotgun. Your
welcome to the Camaro of course. Actually, I'll be down in NYC next
weekend for the Rage Against the Machine show, but I doubt there'll be
time.
giant016
Yeah, I'll teach you. It takes a lot of practice to get it just right...so
don't be discouraged. At the same time, don't do what my friend did and let
your bravado get the best of you, but you seem humble.
I should have my car Tuesday...Wednesday the absolute latest.
I'll make you go into 1st gear without any throttle input. If you can
master that, then you can do everything else.
Bronxie
?
I wouldnt expect the mighty "what" to drive a mustang that looks like this
I dont mean any offense but the headlight covers threw me off a bit
EDIT, congrats bronxie. id love to be able to drive something like that
lol
nighthawk
Appearance is nothing, performance is everything...for now.
The headlight covers were there when I purchased the car, and as you can
see, I haven't done any exterior (or interior) mods since I've purchased
the vehicle. I've barely driven it.
The headlight covers and other things will come off when I start to care
about the way it looks. If it makes you feel better, I have a pretty Lexus
as my real driver.
It probably does make the Corvette feel a bit heavy. But we both know
which one is really quicker/faster. Have fun with your
less-comfortable-than-a-Corvette-Elise. How long do you plan to keep this
car?
What
shrinking feet eh?
windsonian
Lotusi? lol....Loti possible, but I always spell it as lotus' and say it
like 'loti'...I'm sure that's how it's meant to be, lol. (doesn't look
right the other way!). Congrats on the Lotus, Bronx!
Cliffy
a size 16????????? omg..I wear a size 6 in boy shoes
SyntheticTrust
It is a nice car, but I don't find it practical for an everyday car. Maybe
its just me?
97Talonchik
Will have car TUESDAY and no later.
australian-guy-whose-name-I-forgot: Losing weight = losing shoe sizes
What: It's all about how you feel when you drive it. Statistics only go so
far !!! I plan to keep it for at least 3 years and sometime in that
period I would like to buy a used '03+ Viper.
The consensus from Lotus owners is that the Elise isn't the fastest (on a
track) but it is certainly the most gratifying when you get it right.
97talonchik: That seems to be everyone's qualm with the Lotus. But do you
buy a sports car for practicality? Drive for pleasure :D
Car hippie
wow.... filling out your shoes with fat? my shoe sizes tend to be dictated
by the length of the bones in my feet.
windsonian
Yah but alot of times statistics win races
Im pretty sure every elise driver Ive talked to told me they have a ton of
reliablity issues as most if the car is held together with glue. They say
alot of stuff just breaks and falls apart and it isnt very good for
anything but a track only car.
Enthusiast
I spend most of my online time on the Elise forums...I know what the issues
are, if any. Like you said, if anything happens, it's minor cosmetic
issues. Nothing serious. The chassis, drivetrain and transmission are rock
solid.
People who say it's only good as a track car aren't cut out to own one
anyhow...they would be excluded from this niche.
I don't care about winning races. It's about fun. :) Besides, the only
racing I do is autocrossing and I can't think of a better car for it than
the Elise, minus kit cars.
australian-dude: That happens to everyone and anyone who loses weight.
Your feet just shrink for some reason. It can be from fat but also from
muscle deterioration which I have experienced a lot of lately ... much to
my dismay.
Car hippie
are you sure about the weight thing, i lose around 15-25lbs from november
to march and my feet change in no way at all?
hhsrastler92
I dropped from right over 200 to 180 and my feet are still the same.
Enthusiast
Weight and muscle deterioration has no effect on weight. Even if it did,
certaintly not 2 shoe sizes.
Anyway, 1000th reply to this thread! :laughing:
EDIT: Damn enthusiast! 1001th then.
Nissan_Altima
Awesome I win. and Altima your post in rather incoherent.

just as i suspected

Ok, but I was morbidly obese. I weighed over 330 lbs. I lost over 70.
Big difference....

Nice. What type of tires are those? Take some interior pics. Do you love
it?
What
Those are yokohama a048s I think.
Barely legal.
I absolutely love it. I can take turns 10-15 mph faster than in my Boxster.
It feels like a parade float by comparison.
I will take some of the interior and you guys can see me wear the car as
well.
Car hippie
Can I have a ride?
SyntheticTrust
Do you mean in the car?
Nissan_Altima
Do you mean the tyres.....? Or what you have in the boot? :laughing:....
Great looking car you have there by the way. Love the colour, too!
Good job they use Toyota engines now, back in the day the Elise had a ropey
old Rover engine here in the UK! (Unreliable, too. I hate the K-series!)
Cliffy
I wish there was some way Lotus could repair their relationships with Honda
and use a K20a engine.
It is about 70 lbs lighter, more torque due to higher displacement, high
revving and very powerful.
If I am ever going to mod, it's going to be a K20A swap. :)
Car hippie
Hippie, you're killing me. We gotta meet up some time. I sent you a PM a
while ago, but it was to Bronxie so I'm guessing you didn't get it. The
ride looks f'n awesome anyways.:thumbs:

arrest. Looks like I'm not getting any money anytime soon...BTW, court
paperwork is being filled out and processed...
Satty101
I take it your insurance will cover it? :doh:
Cliffy
Of course not, limited coverage is FTW!
I've had the car for 7 months, I pay 150 a month for limited and
comprehensive, to add colission (which would have covered this) would bump
that to 300 a month. That's 150x7 that I would have paid a.k.a 1050. All of
the parts for the repair (including new baller wheels) are going to cost
me...700-800 and a few days of wrench turning...and I won't have to deal
with raised rates. I win!
To boot, I have a 30% surcharge for an accident that was 3 years ago, which
is coming off in a few months so I will be paying I think 112 a month
instead.
newyorker
It used to be like tyhat over here, but now, certainly with my insurance,
Fully Comprehensive cover (the best you can get), tends to cost less than
Third Party fire & theft (what it says on the tin basically...).
Cliffy
I run full coverage on everything but my Berettas and my wife's Daytona
Turbo Z. We run theft and liability on those.
Satty101
Yea, I've never had full coverage, mostly because of the price difference
and it not making sense in the end. At least some good came out of this,
instead of sticking with stock wheels I decided to upgrade. Preview

The wheels still have to get cleaned up a bit, and they are powdercoated
gloss black, not rattlecanned. 16x7 +35 15.3lbs a piece

Thank you sir, my eagles come in today!

Hankook Ventus SR-4 > Goodyear Eagle...Depending which eagle ofcourse.
Eagle LS = FTL
Eagle GT= Meh
Eagle F1 All season = oooo
Eagle F1 Summer = OMG!!!
Eagle F1 EMT = ZOMFG Me wanty!!! (EMT = runflat...also means expensive and
hard as hell to mount)
Satty101
I got these

Except tirerack was blowing out the same size for $51 a piece and a $50
rebate on 4 through goodyear :smoke:
I don't think I'd take the runflats, I hear they are heavyyyyyy
newyorker
Yummy! Whatever you do don't try to drive in snow with those. They will
most likey not grip. Come to think about it, those look a lot like my
Hankook H710s...Atleast I think I have H710s...I don't remember. Too many

Jedi, work on your composition.
newyorker
Hard to do around here, everywhere you look there's some ugly something
somewhere.
jedimario
Nah I mean stuff like walls and poles...
1. wall through the cara
2. wall in fender, misc foxbody
3. wall through the car
4. wall through the car
Also, try not to shoot off of the ground, there's way too much pavement in
a few of those.
GL
newyorker
To be honest, this shoot was mostly just HDR experiementation, probalby
should have mentioned that. The only tripod I had was this little dinky
thing, had to borrow my friend's for the S2K picture.
As for the "wall through the car", not bothering me too awefully much, but
to each his own. Also, the way the parking garage was oriented made it
pretty much impossible to get rid of this completely and still get the
clouds in the background, whcih was something I wanted to do for the whole
HDR thing.
moar srs shoot to come...eventually.

Seven.

That is all.

No I mean't the part where he tried to make it seem like a bad thing that I
drive what I drive..."OMG he has a miata, stone him!"...come on,
seriously?
Coronet, don't get upset because you have a single purpose car.
newyorker
Psst - every consumer vehicle is truly single purpose in the end if you
think about it. Point A to Point B and back.
dodgerforlife
If it was a bone stock base model Miata, yeah...I think everyone would be
on your case.
If you notice, I have 2 single purpose cars dude. I'll drive the SS maybe
one weekend a month, and the Z26 maybe 2 weekends a month.

So I went to see Confessions of a Shopoholic last night...Then I left like
10 minutes later. Even the girl I was with wanted to leave. It doesn't
matter what she offers you if you go see the movie, but I literally had to
stuff my ears with gauze to keep my brain from melting out thats why what
I'm writing now is probably incoherent :S.

Maybe the rungs on the ladder are numbered and you've been counting them on

So I've been watching the movie Balto A LOT lately. I bought it on DVD for
my son when he's older and I'll tell you what, it was one of my favorite
movies back when I was young, now every chance I get I watch it.
That's...pretty sad. But it's for sure one of the most under-rated movies
ever. Though I discovered both of the sequels flat out suck. :banghead:
Well, that's my random contribution.
Satty101
speaking of television/movies
I watched all of Prison break season 3 and then season 1
confusing as **** but a really really good show

Why didn't you watch Season 1, first? Would've cleared up the
confusion.

Almost every night for the last 2 or 3 weeks me and some friends have been
getting together to watch Lost. Halfway through Season 2 and the show is
actually getting decent. Kinda sucks staying up till 2 every night but it's
worth it lol.

its all making more sense now but I cant wait to see season 2 and then 4

That's not entirely a bad idea, And then you would actually have a thread
just containing your pictures and everyones comments. In years to come we
could look back at the progression of your car. :clap:

...and/or we (I) would simply know which thread to ignore. That's the
reason why he won't put all his garbage into one thread. "Garbage" simply
because there's so much of it around it becomes annoying.

BavarianWheels
I take pride in my car, my photography, and the work I do with both...guess
I am an idiot then
newyorker
Nothing wrong with that at all! No, you're not an idiot because of
that...what you're an "idiot" about is that you don't realize the good
suggestion and how it apparently is annoying to some and if those that find
it annoying saw that you made a thread about your stuff, then they'd be
able to avoid your stuff and you would have a lot less negativism towards
you. I think (was it nighthawk and Corbett?) the suggestion of a dedicated
thread was great. You just took offense to it and you shouldn't have.
I've liked some of your photos...but the sheer number of the same subject
gets eye-rolling sometimes. Now if we allowed more risque pics...then the
subject matter would be welcome over and over and over. :)

What getting hit by a train? Or parying?
