My friend keeps trying convincing me to go 15%-20% all around, but I keep telling him no and he goes on about he has 5% back 15% front and hes fine.

 

^ Just try riding in his car at night and see how you like it.

I'll always love the GT1. Such a gorgeous car.

 

Good to see your car search is turning up some serious results.

 

 

yea i will when i get a chance. I dont like going to riverside in this heat cause when i filled my radiator with water cause it leaked that day. I drove to riverside again and saw that when i parked at my friends apartment it started leaking again so i quickly opened my hood and saw that the fluid was basically boiling and i guess that pressure was causing it to come out of the reservoir or somewhere

 

damn i need to stop being lazy and get some antifreeze...
I'll post a vid of what i caught on the above post haha

 

I'm very proud to say that we earned Elite status in the Hendrick organization. I'm also even prouder to say that right now our shop in ranked 2nd out of Rick Hendrick's 23 collision centers!

 

Congrats, Maker!

 

nice Maker!

 

Congrats Maker!! But why does it say 2011?

 

Nice job man! Keep up the good work!

 

nice! too bad you arent in socal so i coudl get some hook-ups although i dont need it yet haha and hopefully i never will.

 

i gotta get a new car, my knee cant take much more shifting

 

Get some form of DSG then!

and that sucks man, sorry

 

ive always had knee problems. after i hurt my lower back, it just got worse. pain started at my injury and shot down my knee.

doesnt help that my job is kinda physical. constant up and down, lifting, and stuff.

 

Because it took them over half a year to send it out. It's for 2011. The rank of 2nd is of right now.

 

Those slacking motherf*ckers....

 

Random observations about my three vehicles (TSX wagon, S2000 and CR-Z)

They are all made in Japan
All have HID's
All have EPS, all three done right for their audience
All three are equipped with four cylinders

But damn are they ever different

 

 

wtf

 

China's economy is going to implode soon. I wouldn't bet on it.

 

so uh, what happens to us, when that happens?

 

Those cheap Chinese goods get cheaper, the Chinese stop buying our government debt.

Buick goes under.

By 2020, most of their North American owners will be in a nursing home or six feet under.

 

what happens to our debt after that?

 

We ask very nicely that they not request payment

 

Well when people stop buying our debt, the government will officially run out of money, meaning it can only spend what it takes in. But in the meantime, the Federal Reserve will print a LOT of money, reducing the value of our dollar more, hurting the poor mostly who generally don't have much in savings and what little they have isn't in an account that isn't invested in anything.

Right now we're spending something like $1.40 for every $1 we take in. It's insane.

But what happens? The brakes will be applied, our credit ruined and our government will end up shutting down entire departments and services.

 

I vote they start with shutting down Congress.

 

it would be nice if they would like, I dunno, think farther along down the road and make changes today in efforts of mitigating our otherwise impending doom...

 

This is the Car Talk thread

I never knew the S2K had EPS. Was it one of the first cars to come out with it? Not many cars have them now, let alone in 1999.

 

NSX had it...


According to Wikipedia, Suzuki introduced it in '88.

 

so, i had plans to go to Pebble Beach this weekend until i saw the general admission fee

500 for my fiancee and i to get through the gates? no thanks, i'll save that for Vegas

wtf thats insane! Looking at cars is not worth that much...

 

I need to get used to parking a small car again... been leaving huge gaps like this every single time

 

Drove an IS-F at work today with aftermarket exhaust & Advan wheels. That's a pretty badass car.

 

I do the same

 

I hope the vice versa rule doeesnt apply to this

 

When I'm older I want to take a year off work and do a road trip across the world; South America, then back up the West Coast, Alaska through Russia, Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Europe, then a ship back to the Maritimes.

What car would you guys choose?

I think it would have to be something pretty new, basic and reliable (obviously), some off-roadability, spacious, preferably something that runs on regular gas.

This is my first choice so far:



It's got the ruggedness, the space, AWD, I think the reliability, and it's still somewhat car-like. Maybe I would add a roof rack and another 4 wheels on some mudders, as well as some basic tools and necessities.

The H6 version sounds awesome, but I would get the 2.5i and MT combo. 170 horsepower and 170 lb-ft. of torque.

 

Id get something with more ground clearance.

Something.....like this:
