craigslist and autotrader net the most replies/best offers.

I can't see your for sale ad on 3si, so, I don't know anything about your car.

But, I got 4.1k for my 92 TT through autotrader, 165k miles, and pretty rusted. it ran strong though.

That price, you should ahve no problem selling it on autotrader. I get a LOT of calls through autotrader.

One of the most hilarous stories of the year
http://www.3si.org/forum/f1/dont-ever-ever-ever-do-421628/

Man I have been sooo tired recently. I now pray for a 10 hour day at work as most are now becoming between 11-13 hour days. And it's not a 11-13 hour day where you have to put up with office bullshit but still remain in a chair most of the day. Just today.......by myself had to shovel and move 8,000lbs of river rock, and that was only just a small part of the day! All I do now is go to work, get home and shower and go to sleep as fast as I can so that I can do the same thing the next day. Just very brutal work right now.

eh, just hang in there, i'm sure everyone here has had their job that just sucked. u finish school then you get to do the job that you really want to. plus i'd imagine that you're getting paid pretty well or yyou'd be looking for some other job to do.

Yeah, it pays alright. It's just a landscaping job. However, I did manage to get almost 30 hours in 2 days of work. The only downfall is there is next to no time at all to do anything other than sleep and work. Even now I have to be back up and at it in less than 7 hours, and I just got off a little over 3 hours ago.

yup, sounds like it sux. i've had to do that though. between working at a food store and for ups i had maybe 5hrs during the day to myself...that includes time needed for sleep

"KONNICHIWA" from Japan!!! :biggrin:

Jason


Ha don't worry about it man! I'm not in a big hurry to get it, I have to act content with the cat-back for a while or else my parents may get mad with me spending money on my car lol

When you get extra time you can give me a price, but you don't have to do it too soon, if the price is good (which I'm sure it will be) I will buy it from you when I can get it

Wow, 4 days later and no new posts. This place is dying for sure.

Here is some news though:

Four dead just north and a little bit east of where I live here in Omaha amongst many injured here in Omaha and in Iowa. I have never seen anything like this. Almost every single day (been quite rare to see a day without rain or tornados) there has been another storm blowing through here. There is a river in Iowa that broke it's record for being the deepest it has ever been (over 60ft deep and the last record was in 1851). The part that gets to me the most is I look outside and see lightning storms as if there was a strobe light outside and rotation in the clouds and there are people on top of their roofs looking at it.

Here is the news story of the one last night that blew through here:

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/12/us/13tornado.html?ref=us

EDIT: Here is a photo I snapped just as the storm was rolling in. Keep in mind it was only about 7:00 so it should be bright as day here. (No I was not on my roof or even outside)

Too bad you didnt have a better cam. That pic would have been awesome.

Actually my camera is very nice. It was over $250. Unfortunately I am a schmuck who does not know how to use them at all. :lol: I started messing with it and one of my friends who is a photographer said it can take awsome pics, just not with me pushing the buttons lol. It is an 8.1MP Casio EXILIM.

EDIT: Just talked to him and apparently I had the flash on which I guess was not a good thing lol. Cameras>Me

11 hours a day and school, i'm swamped guys.
hows everyone been?

any major changes to your cars?

i miss being on here every day. miss all you guys...

any body on aim still ?
I freaking hate dealing with women i pretty sure me and my girl of near 2 years are getting ready to break up. Last night she wanted to take a break i was like ok then today she is like i need you. Well we have been fighting and doing stuff like this for awhile. And i really think i'm ready to go save for the fact i dont want to see this girl ball her eyes out you know..... and i'll admit i might have a crush on another girl so yah..... fuck i really dont know ....

lol, if theres anything i've learned it's that women LOVE drama. They're dramatic and want to get you all emotional. Even if she says she wants to take a break, she's probably just looking for some extra attention, or a dramatic reaction out of you. At least that's what my experiences have led me to believe. It took about 4 years for my gf/wife to realize i dont play those kind of games.
About the other chick...that's all you man. Not a decision anyone else can make for you. But good luck lol

Two pieces of advice that differ very much.

First off, if you are not happy don't continue lying to yourself.

BUT secondly about the other girl, the grass ISN'T always greener on the other side.

when it comes to drama, never give them what they want.

"i think we should take a break"

"ok, have fun, i'll talk to you later babe"

Not a whole lot going on in here lately so i guess I'll say something.

Going to the track on Saturday...any bets on what the tuppeware machine will run? Lets start some guessing! Winner gets an e-hug:tongue:

mid 13's

let's say...13.38

what is the exact HP and weight on that?(pre-mods)

EDIT:
yea, nevermind. somehow i thought those were about as fast as a 3/s :icon16:
i'll change it to.....14.88

Ha I was thinking someone was being a little generous blink! It should have about 225WHP stock and intake and cat-back don't do much. It weighs about 2960lbs. Stock a good time would be 14.4 which is whatmost drivers cut, so if I can get that I will be happy. It is my first time at the track though...a 14.2 would be nice but not likely cause of my n00bness and how hard it is to launch this damn thing!

a buddy of mine used to have a SS/SC. I never did get to race him but he took me for a few 0-100 pulls and it was pretty impressive. It certainly felt just as fast as my vr-4. But everything always feels faster when your in the passenger seat for some reason. Drivetrains are identicle between the two, right?

Yeah they are identical..the Saturn is about 30 lbs lighter, and thats about the only difference. I posted a video of me racing my friend's ss/sc when both just had intake, it was in the SR section not long ago. Basically I had a passenger and he didn't and at about 125 I had a half car on him with him getting a slight jump.

any of you guys ever use Creatine? i'm trying to get ready for the acadmey so i'm going to gym and using it all i've herd is great things. The only side effects are supposed to be peeing more in the first few week till your body gets used to it and more energy :D... i guess we will see....

Only use creatine in cycles. You must drink ALOT of water too. Also dont use it if you are not going to be doing alot of working out. It will have negative effects.

There is a ton of info available all over the net though.

Like Stealthee said, cycle it and drink LOTS of water. Creatine retains water so you'll need the water when your body starts absorbing it. Don't do the loading phase...it's a waste. A couple weeks down the line you won't be able to tell the difference between a person who did the loading phase and a person who didn't. I usually use it at 3 month intervals--3 months with creatine, 2 week break, 3 months without, 2 week break, and repeat. Also, if you're doing a lot of cardio then don't bother with it. To me, I think creatine is only useful when lifting weights. It doesn't help you build muscle per se but it does give you a tad bit more energy so you could lift heavier/longer which in turn does help you build muscle. LOL Oh yeah, gaining about 5lbs is pretty common as well when using creatine due to the water absorption aspect of the product.

At any rate, watcha doin'? Trying to gain weight or lose weight or just get in shape in general!?! Haha I'm all nosey. :p

Creatine is not a muscle builder. It helps the body recover faster so you can get back to the gym faster, and get to heavier weights faster.

I want to start working out again. Right now I'll have to concentrate on upper body and abs as I am nursing a knee injury. I hurt it back in February and its still bothering me.

I am nursing a knee injury. I hurt it back in February and its still bothering me.
knee injuries are a bitch like that. I jacked my knee up a few years ago now, and it still hurts from time to time. I think eventually i'll probably need surgery. Its for that reason alone that i've decided my next car will be an ATX. Clutching every day really bothers it. Once in a white is ok, just no more MTX daily driver.

I had a minor tornado run through my neighborhood about 2 hours ago. I was stuck on the interstate with traffic at a stand still and my car feeling as if it were going to be flipped over. No sooner do I here on the radio that one tornado has been reported about 1/2 a mile from me. A person a couple cars in front of me had a sign post blast through his back window as I was just sitting there watching this all happen. I made it back to my place after parking a couple blocks down as I could not drive any further less my car be stalled in deep water. From there I hiked back to my place to get the camera and here was what I came up with. (all within about 1/8th mile of my place or closer, some right across the street) Some of the pics turned out real nice and others came in a bit blurried. As I said before, I fail at using cameras. :(

aperently he wasn't, lol.

thats some crazy shit. Glad to hear you and your ride made it through unscathed.

which reminds me of a question i had. Does anyone know to what extent the spyder's were reinforced, and what was done to reinforce them?

^^That is one nice VR4! I wonder if it's a scam!?! The price seems too good to be true...anyways, if they were closer, I'd buy it for that price assuming everything checks out!

i was thinking the same thing. I just paid off my vr-4 yesterday, so i was just browsing when i came across that one. CT is just too damn far to go to look at a car though.

Nasty tornado! :frown:


The VR4 has about three hundred pounds of steel reinforcing the body. I don't know its exact configuration, but the body on mine has stayed quite rigid through the years.

Since I did not have my camera with me at the time I was not able to take a picture of the storm rolling in before it hit Omaha, but someone I know was able to capture this pic just before it got into the city.

http://www.ink3s.org/pub/maverick/storm06272006.jpg

dude that shot is amazing. you should email that to the weather channel. They do like a shot of the day type thing. I dont think you win anything, but they'll show it on TV :D

i guess i have a new desktop for a little while. Until i find another cool 3k pic andways ;)

You dont have a higher rez version you could send me do you?

I don't have a higher resolution picture as of right now. I will ask the guy who I got it from if he does though.

Not gonna lie, if I ever saw a storm that looked like that coming my direction...I'd probably just give up lol

Seriously though that is a cool picture, it gives me an eerie (sp) feeling though.

Yeah, since I work landscape all we are doing for the next couple of weeks i cleanup. Believe me, when I saw that coming in I was hauling some serious ass back to my place but resistance was futile. :D
