Correct - I wish I were a god with these cars. There are to few of them out there.

I did, however, fall in love with them and try to spunge up all the info I can about them.


I still remember that day down in Lansing. That was truely a 'one of a kind' for me. Most races I get into involve my Shadow or Accord. I don't race in the Delorean and I'd usually pass on racing with either of the VR4s (when I still had both) mainly because most things weren't going to be that close. Small town ~10K


Now if I could only figure out a way to get some money for all the dang posts I've had the last four years... :iceslolan

put a how to book together about our car

I'll give you a penny for every post you have if you give me a nickel for each of mine...

On that note, I have an odd question. Has anybody else ever been this desperate? Being that I want more power, but have a certain financial situation known as being a broke college student, I have honestly thought to myself: "The downpipe costs $400, that is 1600 quarters. Assuming 1/4 of people asked would probably give me a quarter if I was polite enough, if I go to the mall every day for a week, I would only have to ask 914 people per day for a quarter to get my downpipe."

Luckily, I did get the downpipe for Christmas, but I've already started thinking in class how many people I would need to ask over the course of 3 months to save enough for DR650s.

that a good one. take someone kid with you drss dirty. and tie a leg behind your back. that will help out.

you'll be amazed how much money you can collect by asking people at school for a quarter.

i use to do that, i think i made $50 a week

You bums! Get a job! lol.

*Get's ideas*


I hate being limited to 28 hours of work for school weeks... until I'm 18 anyhow... Argh, so far away! (8 months)

Wow girls piss me off.

A girl tells me she thinks shes pregnant and it must be mine because I was the only guy she has been with in the last couple weeks. She has a boyfriend, however I did not find this out till most of the way through the night in question, and I just assume they have been together recently. After my heart skips a few beats I remind her that I had a condom on and never came. She doesnt respond for a couple minutes.
Then she goes, "oh well it must be the new meds im on, I actually dont even feel pregnant, Im just a little late."

Now seriously, WTF???

woooaw dude wtf, that's messed up, u just don't tell someone u think ur pregnant, that's a really serious issue does her bf know about this??

See, people ask me all the time, "dont you think your a little too young to be maried" my response is "you must not have delt with women in a long time, if you did you'd know how complicated and messed up they can be". When I met my wife I thought she was too good to be true, after a year I knew I had to keep her or else I'd end up dealing with more crap like what Travis just mentioned. Good thing you where protected bro, I always warn my brother about stuff like that.

Damn bro, that's HELLA crazy! I'd kick myself and then some if I ever got a girl pregnant. LOL I don't even want kids. Haha Pets will do....all you gotta do is feed 'em and the occasional vet visit and that's it. You don't have to buy them clothes, worry about them doing drugs, college expenses...all out the window with pets. Haha I get hit when I tell my gf that. :p

my roommate got his ex-GF pregnant. After they broke up...

On another note trying to convince my dad to buy himself a WRX STI when he trades his car in. It'd be awesome if he did buy one... I think I'd borrow his car a few times...

so how many peopple would you have to ask to get the dr650?
i miht try this out if it works.

$2100 x 4 = 8400 quarters

1/4 people asked say yes x 8400 = 33,600 people to ask

33,600 divided by 90 days = 374 people asked a day, every day for 3 months.

Wait, you really did it? LMFAO!!

I might start...let's just say I've been running some numbers.

Quarters huh? hmmmmmmm, well no wonder strippers drive such nice cars!

Hey guys, you ever hear of a car work fine until 5k (redline is at 7) and then just get hung up at 5k (like a self-imposed rev limiter) and then just pop itself out of gear and back into neutral...I want to help this guy out, but I'm stumped.

That is the wierdest thing bro. how does a trany pull the stick back? I mean I know how its connected via the shift cables and I know how the gears work but how in the world, or why in the world would a gear dissengage? as far as the rev stalling at 5000, that sounds like ECU problems to me. hey what if his throttle cable was loose? what if it didnt pull the throttle body open all the way, got stuck at like half way open even if his foot was to the ground? wouldnt that limit his reving? because technically he would not be able to get WOT right? its gotta be something in the throttle body or ECU!

Hey guys, I need some help. Anybody proficient in Javascript?

I bet Yogs is, but you should probably be more descriptive as to what you need to know.

How's the thing with the quarters + dollars going Govert???

Hey guys, I need some help. Anybody proficient in Javascript?

What is it that you want to know?

Um, I'm not quite sure yet, I just wanted to cover my bases...
Essentially, to make a VERY VERY long story short, I took a basic programming/website design class last year and the professor and I had a TON of issues and headbutting. The administration got involved, and is now reviewing alot of grades. In their attempt to resolve part of the situation, I must do an extra assignment, which just happens to be in Javascript, which I know is my weak point. I plan on starting on it today or tonight, but in anticipation of any problems, I was just wondering who I could ask any questions. I havn't seen the assignment yet, but as it is a basic class, it will probably be relatively basic, so I might be able to handle it on my own, but like I said, I suck at Javascript.

I haven't used it in over a year but I do remember it and have a bucketload of books around here. I can also ask questions of some of the other guys working in the office who are using it on a daily basis. Just let me know of any specific snags you run into.

Javascript....isn't that language very similar to C?

Yah sorta, but a lot easier.

I'm not great at javascript easier but if you have any questions I'll try to answer them.

I just detailed the outside of my vr4. It had so much snow and salt on it that it looked like a custom white and red blended paintjob gone to hell. So I spent a few hours washing, claying, paint sealing, scrubbing chrome, etc.
To my surprise when I first went to get started I found that my paint sealant and chamoise had both frozen in the back seat of my car. The chamoise came back to life with some warm water, but the sealant looked like a slushie, so I borrowed some from my aunt.
When I was done I took a bagillion pictures because I know it wont be clean for very long, and with this weather, chances are I wont be doing that again any time soon. Cleaning your car outside in the shade in 38 degree weather isn't the most comfortable thing to do...and then I got tricked into doing my girlfriend's grand am and aunt's audi. So now I'm defrosting, and I'll post the pictures up when I get them devoloped.

i got my concealed pistol license today :smokin:

cost me $60

now i can carry my baby on me :biggrin:

...Cleaning your car outside in the shade in 38 degree weather isn't the most comfortable thing to do...

My gf and I spent a day during Christmas break detailing my car and my sister's car too (my sister went back home). The wind was blowing and it was freezing so I know how that is.... But can't wait to see the pictures. DEFINITELY post as soon as you can. :grinno:

This commercial is pretty funny.

Wow everyone is on on a friday night for once! Whats even more scary is I have somewhere to go!

Igovert: You still develop film? Get yourself a used digital or something.

Young: I didn't know you had another baby! What is it?

stufad: Great vid, but there are a lot of guys who are the same way, a kid in my environmental studies class said that he thinks the hybrid RX400h will be less powerfull than the non hybrid model lol, I seem to remember reading they're 2 seconds faster!

Young: I didn't know you had another baby! What is it?

Taurus 24/7 9mm semi-auto

what is every1 gettin on here as far as gas mileage? i just calculated mine today and its 15.6 . isnt it supposed to be like 18-20?

I have trouble paying my bills, so a digicam isn't an option as of now, and nobody was around that I could borrow one from, so I just found a disposable camera in my cousin's room and 'borrowed' it.

As far as gas mileage, I get about 17mpg in my vr4.

u can barrow my digi cam :)

I take so many more pictures now that I have one, lol I traded in my Nikon SLR for a point and shoot sony lol, I wish they could make a digital SLR that would cost less than $300.

And damn Young, those don't have much barrel to them! I think having a Luger would be sweet. Those things are pertty unique looking what with the tapred barrel and the funny cocking grip thing.

Anyone know what happened to stealthee???

He's probably just spending more of his time back on 3si

4 inches is actaully pretty standard for a handgun in semi-auto form

the grips feel just perfect in the hand. its probably the best handgun in its price range as far as semi-auto's go. kinda like the Z06 bieng the best bang for the buck....

under the barrell is a spot to put a surefire light on the bottom of it. its what the marines use for night and blinding. when a surefire is shined in your face you cannot see anything!

i very reliable, i have shot off more than 600 rounds with it so far and everytime again it shoots like a champ, with no signs at all of malfunctioning. i love it

Lol.... best bang for the buck.

The ones I saw that the company made were all realy short, dunno what I was looking at lol.

DAMNIT! I'm missing the Super Bowl because my roommate's watching Spider-Man. UGH!!!!!!! :banghead:
