  1. I've never been hassled by the police. I have been hassled by rent-a-cops before though. Maybe it's because I drive a 16 year-old beater truck, or maybe it's because I look older than 18, but I've never been hassled by the police. It seems to me though, that sherrifs are alot cooler than police. There's one particular road I drive everyday, the speed limit is 35mph, I regularly do 45-50mph. I've passed three sherrifs and not a one has pulled me over. The only sherrif around here you have to watch out for is one we call, "Ol' one bullet." He's the only sherrif in a nearby town, and he's been known to give tickets for 1mph over. It's hard to not speed through his town too. The speed limit on one side of town is 45mph, the speed limit on the other side of town is 45mph, and through town it's 35mph. He's real tricky too. He hides in car lots on either side of the road so you don't see him. Other times though, he'll sit right on the side of the road daring people to speed. But, it only takes maybe 2 or 3 minutes and you're through his town, so I just slow it on down to 35mph, and cruise through and I'm on my way.
  2. LOL!!! Those videos were funny. That horn is cool. The horn on my truck doesn't work, so perhaps I should get this one to fix it: Horn link
  3. My eyes melted out of my head and my heart exploded after I saw that. Disgusting!
  4. I've got some cheapo speakers on my computer and I pic up semi-truck conversations all of the time. It's gay. (I live right off of the major highway through town.) I only get to hear the guy that's on the road, not the guy he's talking to. I wish I could hear it all, but oh well.
  5. Top Secret stuff is expensive. Did you seen there paint? $465 per quart. And that's after they approve of the car you're going to use it on. Holy cow! I would like to know how good the oil is though.

  7. I use AutoCAD LT 2000. I like it. You may want to give it a spin and see how it works for you.
  8. That's some good reading. I like to read articles from old car magazines. Ahhhh... Those were the days. (Although I wasn't alive for them. lol.) This part made me chuckle a bit: "...The speedometer (which for some reason starts at 20 mph) ..." I don't know why, but for some reason the 20mph-160mph speedo always makes me laugh a bit.
  9. It's not a "mindless" comment. It's my personal opinion. It looks terrible, I would never buy one if I had the money.
  10. As a tech in training I say, no, not all techs are crooks. There are just alot of bad ones that ruin the reputations of others. First off, if the guy spent two hours and couldn't figure out the problem, he isn't very good. If you asked him to perform specific tasks, and he didn't, then I see no reason to pay him. If he did things you didn't want him to do, definetly don't pay. He should have contacted you and asked permission to perform specific tasks. If the guy would of used a scope, I'd be willing to bet he could find the problem (or atleast eliminate possible problems. What year/model is your Z? If it's an early one, the guy is definetly a moron. There are hardly any electronics to fail, so it's more than likely something mechanical. What sort of symptoms are there? I would seek legal advice from a lawyer if it's worth your time. Good luck.
  11. It looks like ****. I wouldn't spit in their hand for it.

    Nice! Your apartment doesn't even allow oil changes?!?! Looks like it's time to move!
  13. That's a deal. Very nice. $38 for oversized shipping? Did it say that where it said it was free shipping for orders over $100? If it didn't, SUE!

  15. Cool! I think this needs to be a sticky! Way to go, man!
  16. Hey, I just spent a few minutes looking over your site and your project, and I must say, you're doing one hell of a job! Your attention to detail and your photos are excellent. I like how you've got links to the FSM pages too. Keep up the good work. I can't wait to see it when it's finished.
  17. Hasn't this been posted before? Anyway, it's a cool commercial. It really strengthens my love for Z cars!
  18. I've got some Clorox Clean-Up stuff that works pretty good on mold. Pretty much anything with bleach in it will take care of mold and kill any kind of germs and such.
  19. How about a 240SX? You can get one in fairly good condition for >$3K, there are a ton of aftermarket parts, and it handles great. The only problem is insurance. If you've got a good driving record, it shouldn't be too bad.
  20. Yeah! I'm part of a sticky! lol. Now we just need more people to throw in some of their knowledge so this can be truly worthy of being a sticky! Come on people! I know their has to be more info out there! EDIT: Do you think someone could change the name of the thread? "possible sticky or faq?" doesn't exactly tell people what's in here. Just a thought...
