Sounds typical. Someone backed into my car a few years ago and smashed the whole front, while I was in it.. then boned out. I tried to chase, but my car was jacked up. I had the plate number and everything, even had a description of some people that had just got out of the van wearing a...

I was just watching the news. There was a little bit on street racing and how cops are cracking down. Apparently last week some kids were killed in a street racing related crash. To quote the news guy "The Los Angeles County cops have had enough". So apparently there's a new law that allows...

Funny story about your grandpa..As I mentioned though, whether you can drive without chains or not doesn't make a difference to the CHP. If they have the "chains required" sign out, then you'll get a ticket if you don't have them. (I used to drive in snow without chains just fine in N.C.)

Well, I went to the mountain today and it turns out the roads were clear and I didn't need chains after all.Here's a couple pics on the mountain. (iphone)Yes the lift lines were really that long.. it sucked.. but it mellowed out later in the day

I'd have to check but the Pro-Kit is a 1.5" drop from stock.. or is it 1.75"? hmm.. It's a pretty driveable height. Occasionally the nose will scrape if a driveway is steep, but usually I can go straight in without angling the car.

CHP won't let you pass if you they are requiring chains and you don't have them. Honestly, i'm not worried about the actual driving part, I am old and experienced, it's just the clearance mostly. I might look into some used all seasons for the stock rims anyway though.Nice story with the...

Hey guys, been a while..So it's snowboard season again and the local mountains just got dumped on here in So-Cal. I have driven in snow maybe 15 years ago when I lived in N.C., but never in mountains in a lowered car. None of my friends snowboard anymore, so it looks like i'll have to...

Another year another victim added to the list.

I own a '95 GST. My car doesn't have a sun visor with the built in garage opener that was offered in later models, but I was wondering if they would fit and work on my car? Is the electronics part all enclosed in the visor or is there some wiring or something that goes into the roof...

I don't think you can collect unemployment if you quit yourself. You can if you get the axe.

The rear brake pads make noise when they're low too.. did you check them?

I saw the car yesterday at the LA Auto show.. it looks pretty badass. I thought it was one of the better looking new releases there. I never thought i'd say that about a Hyundai. It usually looks kinda small in pics, but in person it looked around the size of a G35.<a...

I'm having this issue too. I haven't checked the alternator yet, but I don't think that's the problem since the lights flashed a few times about 2 or 3 months ago and the car would've died by now if that were it.. sitting in L.A. traffic for hours every day.. It stopped happening back then or...

People have been naming their cars since cars existed. Just because you guys are out of the loop doesn't make it weird.Personally, I couldn't think of a cool name for mine, so I just call it the 'Black Hole'. Since it's black and it sucks the money out of my wallet.

Time to move.

Man, that really sucks, but honestly, I always take my expensive stuff (laptop, camera, etc.) with me. The possibility of someone breaking into your car is always there.

I've only been watching F1 for a few years now, but this season was the most enjoyable hands down. I think Hamilton was a big part of that. The three way battle for the title was so muc more fun to watch than the past couple years where you practically knew who had it in advance.

Uh.. the Infiniti G37 (Skyline in Japan) is already out and is in the low $30k's... "what you are looking at here" is the only 'Nissan' GTR there is. There is no lower model for the U.S. market.With that said.. wish I was rich...

I will be watching. I'm kind of torn.. It's exciting for Hamilton being a rookie and all, the boy can drive.. but I also wouldn't mind if Kimi won since he always seems to miss it. I don't really like Alonso..

But then he'd have to think for himself..

70's-80's and sunny.. just like every day..

Wow this one's from the archives..

I think that's a question better left to your proctologist.

Mine ran perfect once..

HKS Super Mega.. It's supposed to have a carb#, but i got it from a friend and he didn't have the sticker, so I just switch it to stock for smog check.

I think your reception will depend on where you are. I used to have Cingular (AT&T now) and liked the way the phone worked all the time, but the service I had was complete crap and my phone bill was never consistent. I switched to T-Mobile, and the phone bill is consistent, but the bars on...

Yeah.. I was just wondering where in the game it shows it, but I figured it out. On the sell sheet..

This might be a dumb question, but is there a way to check the displacement in the game? I don't seem to see it anywhere..

I have 'em holding my front plate on. One snapped once when the plate scraped up a steep driveway.. easy to fix, new zip-tie.. Other than that, I think I have one holding a vacuum hose in place.

I'm pissed for the same reason, but a different show... Battlestar Galactica. Heroes isn't that big a deal to me since I can watch it on TV, but since I don't have cable, in order to catch the next season of Galactica, i'll probably have to fire up the ol' bittorrent again. Shame for NBC, I...

I'm working on my Eclipse model and thought i'd share my Work In Progress threads here. I have a thread on a couple model forums, but since it's a DSM I figured you people might be interested too.I was excited when I heard this kit was going to be released, so I bought this kit when...

Yes, headers get hotlegal link

Same here. The whole spying thing and his involvement really bugs me too..

I work at Barrington and Olympic.. i've seen that guy drive by many times. It looks and sounds bone stock.

I keep seeing a white 2gb Talon with a big intercooler, exhaust, and some kind of aftermarket rims, parked on Franklin ave, near Los Feliz area. Is that anybody here?

I thought the first bit of it was ok, but yeah, when Kimi left everyone in the dust, it did get a little monotonous. There were a few scraps in the middle of the field, but nothing to write home about I guess. I've been checking out the GP2 races lately that take place the day before on the...

I think this is the only pic I have..

disconnect your brake lines while you're gone.. then you'll know for sure

I can't answer for him, (seems like i'm trying though) but i'm pretty sure he just means it seems stock visually. Stock ride height being the main issue.Personally, I wouldn't let the comments get to you. You like your car and that's what matters.

I'm sure you're right. My friend convinced me to just try it as is and see what happens. That was 2 years ago. I've had a rebuilt head since then so i'm sure things will be much different anyway.Surprisingly, it's still pulling strong for a 12 yr. old car (as strong as a t25 can anyway)

Nah, I still have the t25... it's the Road Race high flow. It didn't fail, but my sniffer numbers only passed by the exact digit. (this number doesn't mean anything, but say if it was 83 to pass, i got 83) The thing is, that was 2 years ago, so I figure the cat's got some miles on it now. My...

My hi-flow barely passed smog when it was new 2 years ago (passed by one number).. so i'm going to put my stock downpipe and a stock cat on for smogging purposes. Problem is one reason I went with a hi-flow to begin with was because my cat was clogged and had to be replaced anyway, so I don't...

I've been wary of valets and generally try to avoid them unless I have no choice (or am in someone else's car) ever since I saw some valet guys doing donuts in the middle of a Beverly Hills street in some guy's Mustang about 10 years ago. The same valets i'd just picked my car up from (I had a...

You can rent those Elise's at the Enterprise rental down the street from my work. I'm also spoiled as to the cars I see. I work near Beverly Hills. Just last week, I saw 3 Mercedes/Mclaren SLR's in one hour... Lambos, Ferrari's (enzo just yesterday at lunch.. sounded so nice)..

I have a Nikon D70. When I got it, it was $1200 so at first I had to seriously think about it because that's a lot of money for me. But now I have had it a couple years and it's more than paid for itself, and even though it's older now, it's still going strong. If i'd shot with my film SLRs...

It can't be "that" old.. that's the F2007 at the end..

Someone stole one of my fog lamps once. They just unscrewed it. At first I was a little upset, but didn't think it was a huge deal.. til I found out that just one cost over $150.

I'll be watching some Monaco. Some on-board video I was watching yesterday got me pumped for F1.

Now that's the way it should be. The Advans look good on the Evo compared to the dsm, and those volks are awesome on the GSX.. all is right with the cosmos.
