I have noticed some people are going slower lately and it drives me nuts. I admit I am an agressive driver. The posted speed signs are speed minimum to me. Like 70 means you can go 71-80 and be okay, but the people that site right at 70 or just below it at 69 drive me nuts. I love driving my car, to...

I was looking at the pontiac site to day and they had a few pics of this new vehicle. I had something about pontiac bringing out a truck sometime, I assume this is it. I have always had a thing for el caminos, especially the first gen that was made and this reminds me of the look of it. I doubt I wi...

I must be the minority I thought the transformer movie was alright but it didn't live up to my expectation. I am not sure what that was, I probably would have been happy with them just making over the original movie. I guess my issue is that other than it having transforming robots, with soem fo the...

I was at meijers the other day and was thinkign about getting a bottle of this to see if it would remove some of the light swirl scratches on the mileage cluster and on the display portion of my headunit. I was reading the discription and some of the things it said not to use it on untill I knew a b...

I am not sure what version they are up to, but I have 2.2 of gimp. It has the usual stuff like workign in layers,smudge, magic laso, the wand all the normal stuff.

I didn't know those could zoom in that much to where you could see the driver, glad my windows are tinted.

darcmater

can we just make a car that run's off of soylent green, it would solve atleast 2 problems?

darcmater

so i was lookign at my papwerwork today on my rims and didn't notice a listing on it for hubcentric rings, so Iw ent down to my local discount tire where I got them from and the guy behind the counter said they have nominal use, but that I could get a set for like 15 bucks if I wanted. He made it se...

I am not even sure what to say, very interesting

well I got bored the other day and finally decided to put the led lights in under my 2 front seats. I figure I am allowed atleast 1 rice mod : ) I wired them up using the 12v wires already ran to the center console and added a switch for them where the little coin tslot was. I just need to mess with...

darcmater

well a couple of you had some pretty new first cars, out of curiosity did you wait that long to get one or you actually that young and lucky enough to have gotten a new car for your first?

darcmater

I looked around and didn't see a similar thread. I was just wonderign what peoples frist vehicle was and any fond memories of them.My first was a 1985 Nissan King Cab Pickup truck, which is the same as the datsun, just some differant badging on it i think. It was my starter car all the way thru high...

darcmater

some what on and off topic didn't someone have a post at one time where they wanted to make a genvibe calender of just different vibess that people submitted?

darcmater

my hood is beat to snot, and it seems to have gotten worse since I lowered the car. Think ill have to get it repainted, or perhaps get a nice new custom one : )

darcmater

have beens eeign a lot of different things on the news about gas and gas saving ideas, like on yahoo's pod cast http://gmy.news.yahoo.com/v/8159382 that talks about different gadgets for the car to save gas and if they really work or not. They also had a pod cast about people runnign out of gas on t...

darcmater

if only it played the original 3 before he went back and messed them up, then it would be worth every penny

darcmater

out of curiosity of thsoe that have these, especially the ones that have had them for years how have they help up? Do they have any scratches on it ro anythign from washing the car?

darcmater

a bit of a rehash, but I have been looking at soem pics and wondering if you take the plastic tub out is it just sitting on the floor of the car or is there some sort of plastic liner there?

darcmater

well from what i read on the user manual other than the oil, cabin air filter and the coolant at 5yr/100k I don't have to worry about replacing anything unless i spring a leak someplace on some system. I don't do any towing or drive in city on 90+ days or any of that junk. Which reminds me I haven't...

darcmater

They mention the scion xb several times in the article. I almost ended up getting one, but the way I felt in the driver seat just didn't feel comfortable. Felt as if I was up high and wanted to slide off.

darcmater

This is probably old, but then old on the internet is only 10 minutes. I found this very funny, I so hope its true

darcmater

I think the important quest is, can you get the rims/tires back from her if you break up. Only if yes would I consider it.

darcmater

not if your going to quote out of context, I won't. The whole sentence read as the people I ran across there, so its perfectly valid statement. Besides figure you have to have a thick skin to take a tattoo

darcmater

The movie was exaclty what I expected from spielburg and lucas given how the newer starwars was done. They seemed to have to have over the top scenes, some to the point of being unbelievable and then of couse the cheesey factor of some scenes, A good movie still, but they both seem like they have to...

I don't think I would go so far as to call her hot, but then I like the band camp girl next door look thats secretly a complete nympho type girl from american pie look better. Plus tattoo's are a compelte turn off for me. My ex's best friend whole family owns/opperates several tattoo places and all ...

darcmater

so who is she? just some random girl that can tattoo?

Well in true traditon to good weather holiday weekends, I decided to give the car a good washing and then take a drive to my home town. I visited the local park there that has a lot of nature trains that connect to the old courthouse and the veteran memorial park along the river. Some really nice tr...

I was at my local oil change place the other day, and like always they had atleast one thing they mentioned they recomend I change/replace that they could do for a nominal fee. I declined as usual. I believe they said they wanted to change the power steering fluid, but I don't recall. I tried lookin...

darcmater

a little late but ill chime in, i did, 35% on the front and 5% on the back. I can't see anythign out my back windows at night except headlight, which isn't safe. I hate even backign out of my driveway because I can not see well. If I had it to do over again I would go 20% or so on all of them

I have always wondered how people don't see the train. Between the ground rumbling from it, the large light on the front, the ear piercing horn blowing non stop a mile before the intersection. Thats not even considering the crossing gates, more lights flashing and the large crossing signs. Are peopl...

darcmater

Looks like they turned out very nice. Somethign I have thought about doing, but I am afraid I would end up just melting mine trying to open them : )

darcmater

well I think I have the final design down, but one last question. How do you think having the subs firing up instead of towards the back would change the dynamics of the sound in the car? Also what about is I don't do individual sealed chambers for the 3 subs, and they are not all facing the same wa...

as far as i was aware the rearview mirror isn't required by law, otherwise how do trucks semis get away with it, or the delivery vans that have no back windows, , etc

Personaly I think lowering a vehicle can be onr of themost notable exterior change to a cars appearance, just below getting rims that don't appear to be factory.

darcmater

this is probably ghetto, but is possible/do peopel ever use stuff like fiberglass bondo or even regular bondo on boxes so they can paint them? If it is possible I assume a thick enough layer will have to be used so no crackign apoears at any visablw joints.

darcmater

I know when I got my hu installed the place wanted to charge me like 100 bucks to instal soem little thing so that if I left my headlights on the chime would would still work.
