I feel ya man, I'm working on debt as well, nothing for the car for a while for me

I've owed the same amount for about 4 years. That's how long I've owed the same f'ing debt when paying the minimum. When I sat down and actually thought about how much I've paid, to what I owed in 4 years, and how much was taken off the principal, I couldn't believe it. They can all rot in hell now. I've gone 4 years without ever using a credit card, I can keep going without them. I only plan on keeping my Wellsfargo credit card since it's really convenient to access that account since I always see it when going to my checking account.

I feel ya, I've been paying the minimum on my main card for a couple years and hasn't gone anywhere, I just paid off another card, so I need to start hitting the big card harder. Need to pay off the big card so I can wrack up some work on the car on it

On a side note, I hope Arizona beats the crap out of the Eagles. I've said before, and I'll say it again, "I hate everyone in the Cowboys division". Watching the Giants lose on at home was satisfying. Now I just need the Eagles's fans to have their hopes crushed by the Cardinals. No offense aziners.

I grew up in STL where the cardinals left us when I was a kid, so I have an eternal hate for the cards that is greater than even my hate for philly, personally I wanna see philly and pittsburgh cuz I'm greedy, but that's just me

I don't think Philly has a chance, honestly. I'm calling Cardinals by a lot. As much as I love my Steelers, I'm not so delusional that I think they have it in the bag. I don't like the Ravens, but I was rooting for them just to see another Steelers Ravens match up. Nobody likes how they won the last one, so I feel like having an AFC Championship rematch would be awesome.. and that's just what we have! Can't wait to see that game.
It should be interesting wearing my Steelers tie into work (in Baltimore) on Friday. They just had a "wear your Ravens gear" day last Friday. I know I'm gonna get a lot of shit from them

man, i love it already. the install took about 4 hours for me. i spent awhile trying to unplug every electrical thing. it sucked putting it back together too.
but cutting off the bump stops were easy. had my dad use a dremel.
i shift so fast now, its a great mod. im sure ill enjoy it a lot. this is a cheap mod that you can use effectively, which i think is very useful. the shifts are SOLID.

cause a real short shifter actually reduces the throw, and not the shifter

no i switched out the CL shifter and replaced it with the prelude shifter. its pretty much the poor man's short shifter, if you cant afford forbidden or pspec. and i feel the throw's been reduced. i cant calculate it, but its awesome.

throw length is definitely reduced with the Prelude shifter. Take it from me, i own one.
the difference is significant. i dont miss shifts anymore, unlike with the CL shifter. that felt like a broomstick...the Prelude shifter is like a dagger in comparison.

so the cl is in gonna sit in the garage for the next couple or nights as it can't really handle sitting in the cold. And right now it's -47*C with the windchill, that's -53*F for you Americans damn i need this winter stuff to quit, or just move somewhere warmer i guess
and i'll bump this while i'm at it, damn new page

so.. i've been looking at some wheels, just wondering what you guys would say with this size, if it'll fit no problem or not. if i have to stretch the tires(i don't really want to stretch them a lot at all) or i have to camber like crazy(guess i'll have to check out how much those kits cost). the wheels i'm looking at are 18x8 offset +25 all 4 are the same. And unfortunately i cannot roll my fenders, although i have heard of some ppl cutting their fenders which may be possible for me to do. Also i will be lowering the car with the k sport coilovers i just bought from excelerate. Just gotta wait till spring/summer or my tax return for some money to buy all the rest of the stuff, cuz i am still unemployed 
and going to college

me, and quite a bit of 
but during the day it's not that bad cuz the sun helps a little, during the day it was only -40ish with the windchill, still crappy by your standards i guess. But my reality for the week
If it was like -15*C for the winter i would love that

this is what ive understood as actually shortening the shifter. anyone care to disagree? cause this is just what ive been told.

well you have a prelude shifter with a prelude so i assume it would be different. what im saying is, you didnt actually shorten the shifts, or the throw. you just shortened the actual shifter, so down at the base the shifter still has to go the same distance, the only thing that changes is the top. so essentiallly you have to move your hand less distance, but the throw is not actually reduced.

btw 27*F sucks, it would just freeze and melt all the time at that temp. that's the good thing bout cold, streets are rarely messy, we haven't had anything really melt in about 2 months or more, so the cl stays pretty clean, except for all that damn sand/salt tho, fuckin rust causing shit
oh and having a nice system in the winter FTL, one of my speakers keeps cutting in and out, and the speaker wires going into the amp are pretty much fozen solid, hopefully the amp is holding up well internally and all. And cold LCD screens lag so damn much

Forbidden Motorsports Short Shifter >*
super solid, shortened throw and height, easy install w/o cutting tabs or anything, and 3 different settings which are easily interchangeable. Worth the 130 i paid for it IMHO

isn't the length of the hand movement the throw itself? i'm pretty sure it has a lower pivot point, making the throws shorter, along with a shorter height of the shifter itself.
