Seriously OT: The Real 3rd Thready...

and yes chris, Ive been hiding out in Honda OT lately. Since I don't have internet at the house yet, I go straight to where I can maximize my whoring :D

Ever since Blu had those little banners in his sig I wanted to ask were he got them but didnt..I accidentally stumbled on them while surfing today :)
Threw a new avatar up to, sick of looking at myself

user bars are sooo two years ago


j/k :p

haha i kno i kno, it will keep me entertained for a few weeks

I think your first mistake is having Blu as a role model...

I agree about the Compass being ugly... clever idea but not implemented correctly. Ever see the Jeepster? I thought that was going to be what the Compass was going to be... apparently not. My brother had a Santa Fe so you saying it looks like something Koreans would make just goes right along with it I guess.

it's gonna break :evillol:
Man, if you jinx me I will come and find you. :p

Speaking of Mazdas :lol:

That video wasnt a Mazda, it was a Renault. But I have heard about being able to break into the 3's by putting a specific dent in the door somewhere, never seen where or what you have to use to make the dent. But it has the same effect.

Damn double post...

Oh well.

Anyway, I think jeeps have looked pretty crappy since the liberty came out. That is the fugliest most Un-jeeplike car that they could have made. Since when are jeeps supposed to be 90% bubbly rounded plastic?!

Yea the bulletins claims it works for Mazdas and older Accords.
So If I see a guy in white shorts with a tennis racket near my car I am gonna beat the piss outta him haha

Didn't you know? the Jeep Liberty is marketed to the lesbians that want to explore the outdoorsman in themselves... :lol:

Actually, I was considering getting a Liberty but they didn't seem tough enough for me.

DUDE, you just described exactly the liberty owner I was thinking about.. Used to work in my mothers office like 3 years ago. There is no way this woman was not a lesbian, and not to mention ugly as hell. She could scare a blind person off.. *shudder*

damn I love lesbians... the "lipstick" lesbians though.

They drive eclipses and celicas

Oh and I have also driven more than a few jeeps of various years, including the liberty...Jeep steering blows ass. It has a weird drag to it, and wherever you put the wheel, it stays. You have to bring it back, no self centering whatsoever.

This is not the case with my GC. The steering is effortless and returns easily. In fact, the turning radius is quite smooth and tight... might be a little tighter in the 99-04 models though.

But, yeah since they recalled the steering rack on the 02-03 Liberty, I'm sure it probably sucks...

Are we still talking about lesbians???

If not then I'm leaving...

Yeah, lesbians are so hard to steer...and they recalled all the dykes for 02-03..thank god.

talking about the flannel shirt wrangler jean wearing, mullet sporting, testosterone injecting, old sage lookin female homosexuals?

so does this mean you'll have a rice fit?

when does it arrive?


If by rice you mean lowered, rolling on 17"s and quite possibly turbocharged... then yes, I will be the riciest in town.

Due to arrive within the next two months... depending on how long it takes them to find what I want (or wait for it to be built)...

was very specific... Taffeta White/black interior, 5speed manual.... automatic's are easy to get, but you have to get on a waiting list to get a manual... the dealership said it'd be anywhere from 2 weeks to 2 months.

Oh well... gives me time to sell the Civic.

There was a manual in blue sitting right on the lot here.

I actually kinda like the Fit despite the fact that I could never fit in one... see what I did there?

Dude they have ALOT of room. the car isnt as tiny as it looks once your standing next to it, and the one I looked at had the back seats folded down, I bet it has more space than alot of cars. And as far as legroom, looked ample. And im over 6ft.

But I still wouldnt buy one. Hell no, not for that price with that little power.

Sadly, I am considering selling my rex *tear*. I love the car, and my first option is always another crx to swap my stuff into, but if I want a different car then I will have to use the money off the sale of mine. Im looking at a 2001 GS-R for about 8k. Very nice. If I can get 4 or more for my car then thats the way it will go.
Of course this is mostly a pipe dream, and Ill probably have the car for a few more years at least. But the girl hates it with a fiery passion, even went as far as to threaten to leave if I got another one lol...Man im gonna miss her :P

i went looking at Clasic Austin Mini's...saw one in perfect condition...but $19k is way too much

my wife has grown to live the BMW 850i...if i can find one i may try to get one for her

DON'T!
After having worked on many many BMW's now, I would suggest anyone that passes by one should walk up and hike their leg on it. they're pieces of crap... only good for the first two years, and then should be trashed after that.
Endless electrical and hydrolic problems... cost a fortune to keep running.

Friends grandmother has a pristine 87 535...only ever had to replace the tranny and a few other things. However the rest of the bmw's in his family have had electrical problems, almost all of them will have the cluster die at some point, a nice little 600 dollar module.

well I'm going to stop complaining about snow for a little while. A few towns about 30 minutes North of me got 5 FEET of snow in the past week, most of which came down within a 3 day period. All the towns closed down and went into a "state of emergency". Bet the college kids up there are really heart broken they don't have to go to classes.

The college kids might be stuck in their classes... LOL

We got some snow in SC last week. I took the Jeep 4 wheeling on a mountain access road... not much snow but it was still slow going around the cliffs...
This is the area... can't really see the road... haha

internet ownz you

I'm heading out to a Monster Truck Show on Saturday. I have not been to one of these since I was probably 10 years old. My girl got me tickets for Valentines Day. I had mentioned a while back it would be fun to go back to one. Should be a good time loud engines and crushed cars. She has never been to this show of course, so she will have to stick it out. Heck she makes me go to those Disney on Ice things like twice a year haha.

it may be the same show that will be here next week...i wanna take my son since i've never been

Yeah, it's coming or already came here to the Bi-Lo Center in Greenville, SC. It would be fun but my wife has sensitive hearing so no go. Plus, I have to protect what hearing I have left. I've never been to one of those either...

the 5 senses are overrated

the 5 senses are overrated

That's not funny when you wear thick glasses and have more than 50% hearing loss.

Over 4000 posts... wow!

i didn't know they came out with a 550i

would be nice if they offered a 335xi

The 335xi is supposed to be coming out in March 2007 with a 300hp twin-turboed 3.0L in-line six and AWD. Should be freakin' sweet if it does happen.

I was reading in Ward’s that there’s not much of engine add on’ that you can do b/c the space in the engine compartment is maxed out…so I’m sure everyone will go single turbo…and yet it’s still a car I can’t afford

Got a new book…Legends…short story book featuring many authors…Stephen King being one of them, but his story I’ve already read…but got it when the book I wanted in the library wasn’t there…pretty cool book touching on a number of different writing styles…I recommend it if you just want something different…apparently there’s like 2 or 3 of these books

I believe Terry Goodkind and Robert Jordan are primarily fantasy writers. I know Terry Goodkind is... not sure about Robert Jordan though. I used to work in a university library in the cataloging department and I got to catalog the popular fiction.

I'm on my third Robin Cook book. Trying to tackle them in order of publication but I skipped "Fever" because it's about some crazy leukemia disease and my brother is in remission now from having leukemia so I don't want to get emo about that...

my wife has read all of Terry Goodkind's books... I'm going to have to get her that.

A lot of the stories are side stories on books they have already published

Driving by NC State today I saw a Burger King that was opened 24hrs with free wireless internet

That's pretty cool. Now if the food was any good that would be a plus. I'm done with fast food. I don't trust some pimply faced kids that don't wash their hands while working with food. Besides they always fuck everything up. For example, yesterday on the way home from the Atlanta office my wife stopped at a Wendy's and ordered what she always gets, a single with cheese and mustard only. She gets going and notices that it has ketchup instead of mustard. She threw it away and went to Starbucks instead. I told her I would've turned around went back and threw it at the drive-thru window. I mean how hard is to make a fucking hamburger the right way? I know these kids have other shit on their minds but good grief. If a kid can't put a fucking burger together right do we really want to give them jobs doing more important work like installing electrical equipment in a house or something? Hell No! Anyway, fuck fast food. I'm tired of being sick to my stomach. It's bad enough I have to take 1500mg of Metformin ER everyday for my diabetes and it fucks up my stomach, I don't need the added bonus of some viral infection from dirty fingered fucktard making fast food... /rant

BTW, Killa, your wife must have a lot of time on her hands because those Goodkind books are huge! Haha...

once i went to taco bell (my first mistake) and hit the drive thru (second mistake) and the girl couldn't understand my order through that tin box they use. After a five minute wait to begin my order and another five of struggling through it she says ok and tells me to pull around. When I get to the pick-up window she recaps my order and she left something off so I tell her to add it on... she says I'll have to go back through the line for that because they're not allowed to place orders at the pick-up window. I say "Are you serious!?" and she looked at me the same way you look at a baby trying to utter its first words. I ask again if she's going to add on to my order or not, she says "You'll have to drive back through". I reply with "FUCKING IDIOTS!" and drive away hungry.

i loved workng at Wendy's...breadsticks and nuggets were my fav

They have the best Spicy Chicken Sandwich (no mayo!). I used to be the biggest No. 4 Combo supporter... that's Big Bacon Classic Combo, minus mayo, ketchup, or mustard. What I normally would do is get a small chili and put some of it on my burger or chicken and dip the fries in it. Great! Now I'm really hungry... no fast food!

foolish man... we love mayo (http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=626024)

and for the record, the Wendy's Spicy Chicken with cheese is the greatest EXCEPT for that parmesan swiss sandwich they tried out a few years ago... I wish it would come back

I'm familiar with that thread already... Allergic to mayo... makes me vomit... What's so great about egg whites and vinegar anyway?

I don't really like cheese with chicken. Although, parm or mozz on Italian chicken kicks ass!

mmm mayo.

egg whites and vinegar :puke:

damn it's getting late.
