    Wow, the USA is really getting hammered in your dumbest nationality poll... must be lots of Frenchies on there driving up the vote count
  3. I'll be heading back up to Orlando tomorrow morning, gotta stock up on gas and what not before I get there. Supposedly my apartment complex is one of the few around that never lost power, so lucky me I have 5 freeloaders over there sucking down A/C running up my power bill . On another note, my uncle lost most of the roof on his house in Port Charlotte. All of the furniture inside was ruined as well. No insurance on it either, which is stupid because its about a million dollar house right on Alligator Bay in Charlotte County. Nobody could get up there in time to board it up since he lives here in Fort Lauderdale. Actually the winds didnt' ruin his house, a neighbor had a brand new huge house that literally came apart, sending its trusses through his front doors. Most of the back windows facing the gulf were fine. My parents were able to get up to our lake place in Sebring and found that theres a lot of shingles missing so hopefully the roof isn't leaking, they'll be back up there on Friday or Saturday to check it out again.
  4. Wow, that thing is nice...Hollywood is right down the road from me too...12k is way out of my range though...
  5. Anybody interested in some Datsun wristbands...came across this today while checking some stuff out. They're on clearance for $1.98 each but I don't know what shipping is. Just thought I'd give a heads up for anyone who may be interested. http://www.hottopic.com/store/product.asp?LS=0&ITEM=223270&RN=103
  6. I'd buy it...if I wasn't 1000 miles away...
  7. The political climate of this country has become appalling. I swear, for most people, especially where I live (on a college campus) politics have become nothing more than a sporting event. People root for Democrats or Republicans like I root for the Dolphins. They are incredibly uneducated but claim that they are. They go about everything in the wrong way. It just makes me furious to see kids protesting in front of the student union holdling signs saying, "BUSH IS HITLER" and "THE BLOOD IS ON BUSHES HANDS". Granted, I am a registered Republican but I am very, very moderate. My roommates girlfriend came over the other day and started ranting about how evil Bush is when she saw him on TV. The second I voiced any opposition to anything she was saying I was branded as an ultra right-wing radical. So I asked her to counter my arguments, and the all I got was "You're studid because you're a Republican and you don't know what you're talking about." She had absolutely no counter to any of the things I was saying other than, you are stupid. The way I see it, I will discredit your idea, but I won't discredit you for having it. This has gone away and it makes me sick to see our country becoming more partisan every day. Sorry to hijack the thread here, but I had to get off a little rant. On another note, my prayers go out to the family and friends of Paul Johnson.
  8. Oh but it is...you just need some pink slime, some happy music and a Nintendo controller. Didn't you see Ghostbusters 2?
  9. My brothers 86 Toyota 4x4 with a 22r now has about 190k on it and it still runs good. Never had any major problems with it as far as I know and we've owned it since new. Although now it sports 35" tires, front and rear lockers, and some crazy low gears .[/img]
  10. I almost bought one of those a while back, should be a great daily driver .
  11. Samurais make awesome off-roaders, kind of like the Japanese equivalent of a Jeep. I've thought about buying one several times just to take mudding. Theres a company out there that makes Chevy 4.3 V6 conversions for them, even with the stock drivetrain they are great in the mud with bigger tires, I've seen as big as 44"s on them. I've also seen several Samurai rock crawlers out west.
  12. That was crazy, those are some ghostly pictures. The whole place is a ghost town.
  13. My dad just picked up that same cheapo model from Harbor Freight. Really not a bad deal for the price, works fine. I think its definitely worth the investment. Not only will it save your eyes but my welds improved also. I could see what I was doing better with the old flip down helmet every time I'd get in position, then flip down the lid I'd move my hands and find out I was an inch or two out of position. With the self-darkening I don't have that problem anymore.
  14. Other than the '70 240Z, I currently have at my house... Mine - '99 Ford Explorer Sport Moms - '94 BMW 325i Dads - '04 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab 4X4 Brothers - '86 Toyota 4X4 (4" Lift, 35" tires), '01 Yamaha YZ125
  15. Just got home from the Rolex series race in Miami, tomorrow I'm heading out for the IRL opener. The Rolex race was good but having pit passes made it great. I had like an all access pass my friend's dad got us from Autonation. I was more interested in the GT class than the Daytona Prototypes myself, I think the M3's finished 1-2. Lots of cool Porsches, a couple Vettes (which had a terrible day), a Maserati, and a Ferrari (which was possibly the slowest car on the track). It was cool though. Free food, hot women, fast cars...doesn't get any better. Plus I get to go again tomorrow and check out the Indy cars. I'm bringing my digital camera tomorrow and should have lots of pics. I'll be pulling for fellow South Florida resident Helio Castroneves, hopefully he'll come out on top .
  16. I think last years, or maybe it was the year before, had a V8 280ZX in it...I think it they had a pic of it in Hot Rod magazine. It looked like it was gonna dominate in the 1/4 but they broke something before they had a run if I remember correctly.
  17. Hell yeah, every night on Cartoon Network! That show owned thats awesome that its coming back.
  18. Looking good Aux...everybody knows a guys manliness is inversely proportionate to his car's engine size anyway . j/k to those of you that have SBC's and bigger...FYI I am still an L24 man...hehe
  19. Search for posts by Turbo Meister...he seemed to fit them ok...
