  1. about 3-4 years ago my family were coming back from grandmas house in baja cali. It was around 1 or 2am driving down the toll road when all of a sudden a loud explosion I hear my mom screaming looked at the front windshield there is a hole a little bigger than a baseball. Winshield shatter glass all over our faces. We drove from baja to LA with a busted windshield. The next day we found the rock inside the truck. The rock hit the windshild then bounce off the dash hit the roof of the car, missing my dads head by about 1 foot. It was the scariest thing ever, we told the federales they said its kids throwing rocks off the hills. An they could not do anything cause they just hide in the hills at night.

    So good thing you caught that kid maybe he will learn his lesson.

  2. Its been a great week lots of work. Im in the High End upholstery business with my dad. The year started really slow with the economy and all. But we started receiving some order from The MANSION at the MGM Grand. This is a high end exclusive luxury hotel. Finally I can save up some money and payoff my truck and have enough money to buy parts for the Z. The bad thing is that I freaking drive 80miles a day 5 days a week. Gas being at $3.71 regular I was shocked when I was filling up. I have to fill up every 3 days.

  3. Here is my dad's project car but I have to do all the work. I just finished the passenger side it was really bad lots of dents. The next step is the roof and thats even worse. IT had alot of bodyfiller to shape the sides of the roof, came from the factory like that. Well here are some pictures of the before and after.I finished sanding it and applied the PPG epoxy primer today.

  4. well today I called the person that fixes my computers and told my little problem well he told me that the motherboard is what is at fault. Since there is no beeps or no video on the screen and the fan on the motherboard is going really fast. He also told me I can go take it to a best buy or something to have it diagnose and they can order an original motherboard from emachines. which is going to cost to much plus the labor. I asked him about a upgrade on the motherboard but he told me that I had to buy new software to go with it since i just can used the recovery disk on the new motherboard. So I said screw it I went to best buy got me a new computer. Even though I had the other computer for less than 2 years before it took a crap on me.

    I purchased a GT5670 gateway computer

    processor AMD phenom prosessor 8400 triple core

    operates at 2.1GHz, 2MB L3 cache, 3600GHz system bus

     

    memory 3GB DDR2 Dual-channel

    video NVIDIA GeForce 6150se

    hard drive 320GB

    DVD/RW with labelflash

    audio 8 channel(7.1) high definition

    with 15 in 1 digital memory card reader with smart copy

     

    windows vista home premium with sp1 and AMD live.

     

    what do you guys think. Total cost was $590

  5. i just removed the sound blaster card and ram and disconneted the hard drive and just connected the harddrive back is still a no GO. There is no beeps or nothing appearing on the screen. Can I just go buy a Hard drive and conneted and insert the recovery disk and start all over. My other old ass computer just took a crap also. Im using my lil bros computer right now.

  6. Ok my computer crashed. windows xp blue screen then is shut down. Its a emachines i got it last year. So when I try to turn the computer on It turns on but there is nothing to display on the screen and the cooling fan on the motherboard stays on and its going really fast. I press and hold the on/off switch to shut it down and try to started again but same thing happens it doesn't reboot. Do I need to purchase another hard drive.

    Right know im using my old ass computer that I got when I was in 7th grade, and it sucks.

  7. so i Went to check out the truck today it looks good. He said he replaced the tranny he showed me all the paper work of work done oil changes and stuff. I far as price he will let it go for $4000 since he got a new commuter car. Since he still paying for the truck he has to let it go.I'm going back on monday and finish all the paper work since the bank still has the pink slip.

  8. I think the bank is going to approve my $5,000 loan. So im thinking of buying a 1999 s10 extra cab 4wd $4,500 with 118,000 miles. I going to need a truck since I cant be driving my Z everyday. I commute 80miles everyday and for the work I do I sometimes need to pick up upholstery supplies. Since I started to snowboard and will continue 2008-9 season I will need a 4wd truck since I don't want to damage my dads navigator.

I really don't want to sell this truck but I've bought a commuter car and i need to cut out a car payment. I've only used 4WD once on the beach in about 10 feet of sand just to check it out. I'm only the second owner, and i only used it to commute to and from work. It gets good mileage @ about 20 MPG. This truck would be great for trips up the mountain this time of year

  9. Today I was changing oil on the tranny since I have been having trouble with it. I heard grinding in 1 and 2 gear, when I removed the oil plug pieces of metal. They look like the retainer for the bearing about 1/2 long and have the shape of a bearing. So how hard is to replace the bearings and seal and synchros.
