Quote, originally posted by bull77 Â»... ended up selling the cargo cover to someone here for $10. Yeah I think it was me. Thanks again. I bought both nets on ebay for around $30 as well. As far as installation, the steel loops are positioned so you can attach it any of four ways. Some ways don't ma...

I'm in Steamboat Springs, CO as we speak. This is my third trip here and it's always been pretty nice. Very good snowfall this year, we had a couple snow days and a couple clear days. The trails are pretty nice, lots of variety, 3' powder, groomed trails, open or forested. My only complaint is that ...

Laws are obviously different from state to state. In my state, there really are no restrictions about having one in your car, except that it can't be concealed on your body unless you have a concealed handgun permit. You should really check with your police dept or state police, because there is SO ...

The only thing I've ever hit was a raccoon, in my previous car, a Saturn SC2, with no damage. Though I have done my best to smear many a squirrel into the asphalt. Don't ask.

No offense, but this is not the place to be looking for such a thing. As stated by others, if these are sensitive files, you have to take security extremely seriously.

I hadn't realized there were just a handful of us. I have replaced the steelies with the 16" alloys, so I need to give it a good wash and take some more pics.

I've been getting the mint proof sets (which includes all the quarters) every year, so I just got the last one a few months ago. I see complete sets on ebay for $305 (or just the quarters for $220). The proof sets usually were available around mid-year, so I'd get to see two or three quarters before...

What are you comparing it to? Ride comfort is very subjective. I used to drive a Saturn coupe with 17" rims and when I got the Vibe, it felt soooo smooth, but now that I've gotten used to it, sometimes I think it feels pretty harsh.If the car rides straight and evenly and doesn't sway a lot whe...

tribalman is right, you can try them both out pretty easily. Personally, I started out with RedHat 7.2 (they switched the name to Fedora later), so I prefer that.

It sounds like it was programmed to assume that if the driver is going at highway speeds and then shifts to the semi-auto mode, he probably did so in order to downshift for more power, perhaps to pass or climb a hill.Quote, originally posted by musicmanmu Â»So what I theorize is that engaging DSC mu...

It depends how it's wired. To be honest, I don't really know much about amp and sub setups. Is the sub powered just from the amp or does it have a power connection straight to the battery? You're right, the amp should also be ignition switched also, but is it? Who wired this stuff up?Where are the a...
