I brought up your question to a guy that used to be in the Navy, and his response is that you are not drinking enough. As he was saying this, he was finishing his 3rd cup for the morning, and started to brew his 4th cup.
But coffee is habit forming, and you do go through withdrawal when you don't have the caffeine. But on the other hand, if you just keep drinking it, you won't have that problem.

Enlighten us...damn, I knew caffeine sucked.
#1089
I can go on and on about it. I'm very knowledgeable in natural health.....
I'll just say that caffeine wrecks havoc on the adrenal gland...which eventually results into chronic fatigue along with numerous of other health problems.

I can't say that I haven't felt the detriment. Thanks for the heads up. Ugh, I need to stop the coffee.

Caffeine is a drug. Within moderation, it has its uses (especially when pulling a night shift). Studies also have shown a correlation between caffeine intake, and a reduction of the risk of cancer and diabetes.
But you can also become dependent on it. It affects sleeping habits, causes dehydration, and gives you the shakes. Moderation is the key.

It was either that, or saying "I can quit any time I want. I just don't want too"

it also shows that it does indeed improve focus and awareness in moderation.. it's a critical part of athletic diets actually.. caffeine can help you get a slight edge. I completely agree it's a drug though.. I went through a phase from 16-19 where I thought energy drinks were the bomb (they became all the rage when I was that age) so I drank so many of them daily.. problem is I was still eating and drinking healthy otheriwse.. Long story short, I ended up with 6 kidney stones in one kidney alone.. after that I went 2 months with drinking clear fluids and juices.. never felt better in my entire life..
It's true that your body craves it.. the headaches and restlessness were enough to rip my hair out.

Been seeing a lot of ILX's lately. I saw two white ones in stony point, ny yesterday. 1 had tints so I naturally parked next to him/her. And the other was driving around, I wanted to follow to see who was driving, lol...but the gf said no, haha
#1095
Trolling around stalking ILXs LOL! Yeah though.. I see more and more, especially in my area. There is a white one like 2 blocks over from me. And there is a silver 6-speed that parks in my work parking lot.

They may try to steal some of your parts lol...I feel like the ilx 6-speed is taking away a lot of would be civic si owners. I don't think the Si is going to do that well with this generation. You've got stiff competition from VW and Ford

Bang for buck the GTI is the car to mod. But maintenance on a German car isn't my favorite part, lol.. The new Focus ST is a beast! But, I still don't like hatches.. doesn't matter how awesome of a car it is. I don't like the Civic Si even after the refresh.. it's still just what it is to me. The interior is not all the hype to me.

Lol, it's Texas.. don't let them get caught plucking pieces of my car.. a .45 hurts a bit I imagine.

I couldn't buy a VW. I don't even know how much GTIs cost honestly.. I just know they react to mods really well. All VW are ugly on the inside to me.. I can't buy a car that doesn't have a nice cabin being older now and realizing that's where I will spend all my time.
#1100
Haha me too! I think I saw one, other than myself, in my neighborhood too! Its funny every time I see one its like seeing a rare wild animal in the woods.

I don't mind their cabin...I think it's better equipped from a materials standpoint than the other cars in its class.

I bought the silver/gold version when it came out. They added 9000 new pokemon and night and day and I was like fuck this game. As far as I'm concerned the original 151 are the only real ones.
I was so into everything pokemon. So much money spent on cards...

Are we figuring minus the cost of the car?

yea, minus the cost of the car. The car you were going to by anyway in order to commute. Modifying it is the hobby.
#1116

Probably just talking about cost of mods (since we all pretty much need a car to get us places). Serious road bikers can spend like 10k on bike+stuff. Two of my uncles are into biking and building them and have a couple different ones and a lot of add ons. I'm sure they have spent what I have on my car so far.
I got one of their old bikes with stuff added on for super cheap

I don't really know anything about bikes.. besides how to ride them around.
