alright, on the drive to school today i did get it up past 5k a couple times, and it didn't seem like it was before were it would shake the car, but it still doesn't have the same pull, but i'm guessing they figured out the misfire then..

Well, on MNhondas they are planning on dyno day. So idk, you could come to that one.
Im also planning a barbeque/meet for the spring time for Gs, Zs, and wanted to see if any of you would be interested (we all kinda drive the same class of cars, no big deal )

Josh, I doubt if you remember when about a week before I left....I was at your place and you showed me a link of a 'new' OS that might be introduced. Something about a desktop looking similar to a desktop being used in your own home.....Please tell me you remember.

Jermaine, the desktop is called BumpTop, and it is currently in beta. Sign up and they will send you a link to it. It is just a desktop, not a whole OS and I have access to it, but I have not tried it yet.
17"s went with the car, don't know what the guy did with them, last I heard he still had the 18"s on there.
I still have not purchased a car, but I drove an '08 Subaru WRX STi yesterday and it was pretty impressive. I can't wait to drive it when it is a bit warmer and see how it really handles. All the sales guys are really interested in is letting me drive it on the highway, which sucks. The agreement that Erin and I made is that we will not purchase until we get our taxes back or we get back from Hawaii, whichever comes last.
I have not driven an EVO yet, but it would only make sense to do so to compare them. So far I am really looking forward to the Subaru because it has the hatch and for some reason I have always been drawn to hatchbacks.
Here is the Scooby I drove: http://downtown.lutherauto.com/Preow...oryId=25894509

FYI, the guys at Metro Mitsubishi are asshats, I highly reccomend that no one buy from them. Went down to check out the GSR and the sales guy tells me that 'people that buy these cars don't want them with miles on them'. Oh really? Guess I'm not a buyer...

After having looked at the Evo up close and personal, I dont really like the interior as much as the STi. I also like that the Scoobaru has a hatch and there is more room in the car in general. I also like the gauge pod in the STi better than the Evo, so it is looking pretty much like the Evo is out, even without the guys at the dealer being a bunch of fucksticks.

It should actually help you a lot because that older bug-eyed WRX is going to be much cheaper now that the economy blows and manufacturers are offering to suck you off in order to get you to buy a new car.
It's a buyer's market, but the buyer better have damn good credit if he/she is looking to get financing...

thats the problem, getting a job is harder than i thought it would be.. and i don't have a credit history so any loan i went into would be bad.. unless mommy helped me, but i need to build up some down payment money first.

You're just going to have to be less picky about what job you take. You could talk to any of the people you know that have their own companies or have any kind of sway in hiring to see if they would be interested in bringing on someone at an extremely entry-level position.
In a lot of ways, it is not what you know, but WHO you know.

Same here . That'll probably be my next car seeing how I can't afford a M3 lol. I've been looking at those closely. There's two guys that go here that have the bug eyed ones and there sooo tight. Everytime it snows I always see them in the parking lots drifting.

My dad and i are doing a ice driving event with the glacier lakes quattro club. We are getting snow tires for my 17s then mounting them on the 08 G and then rallying it around the track they make. Should be a fun time!
Also saw a silver TL like Razzis or Matts in prior lake today with lips and an exhaust

Is there a proper way to dispose of anti-freeze? I will be pulling a couple cups out of my rad, to add some undiluted anti-freeze and lower my freezing point... what has to be done with the waste?
#4237
Punctuation Nazi
The only 'proper' way to do it involves the EPA and all kinds of red tape.
case in point: http://www.greentruck.com/waste/antifreeze/1102.html
This place in Ohio recommends diluting it 'thoroughly' and pouring it down your drain. http://www.erie-county-ohio.net/does...antifreeze.htm

any chance that bobby and steves, or anther shop, or even a parts store will take it like they take oil? Then they can deal with the red tape.
I just hate to dump it cuz it has all sorts of heavy metals... the exact kind of stuff my dad devotes his career to cleaning up.
