    What was your favorite Super Bowl Commercial?

    in Non Tech Board

    Posted

    Well the game is over and I found myself singing Journey-Don't Stop Believing in the last seconds of the game hoping that the Cardinals would get a miracle.

     

    But my favorite commercial would would have to a tie between the Bud Light commercial where the guy gets thrown out of the window for suggesting not to drink Bud Light during meetings to save money, and the Doritos commercial with the crystal ball that gets thrown through the snack machine and then into the boss's tender zone.

    I believe I remember reading that the turbo and N/A distribs are about a 1/4 turn off from each other. Either get the turbo dizzy back in or get a new oil pump. I believe the turbo distributor will still work with your setup.

    post me some questions

    hey grumpy what causes my tach, fuel, oil pressure guage not work?

     

    and also why wouldnt my car start!

     

    Hey beebeecivic,

     

    I noticed you were having problems with your Z in another thread. Grumpy put this thread up for the V8 guys. I thought I saw a L28 head in the background of one of your pics, so if you do have a V8 correct me. Have you tried using an ignition from a 78 instead of a ZX? Post some more info about your car in your other thread and lets see if we can't get this thing straightened out.

    And that is how the fight started

    My wife and I were lying in bed the other day. Her hands were slowly finding their way across my body. She whispered, "I'm gonna make you the happiest man in the world." I whispered back, "I'll miss you."

     

    And thats how the fight started.

     

    Edit: One more,

     

    I bought my wife a new car. She called and said, "There was water in the carburetor."

    I asked her , "Where's the car?" She replied, "In the lake."

    Admins, they are so clever!

    I feel like members having their member status changed is like the admins choosing their favorite child. I was always the favorite, now I am starting to feel like a red headed orphan child (no offense to the red heads BRAAP-I feel like Paul might be one deep down inside) who was forced to dye his hair and then was reunited with his Irish birth parents and then cast back out for not having the natural Irish hair color and was forced to live a terrible life without a Z car or even having knowledge of what a Z car is...(Inhale).

     

    I guess I will just have to make my mark and earn it.

    Thanks a lot BleechZee, Those lights are just cheapy eBay $30 housings with an HID kit in them. They really perform horribly. By the way, I was about five minutes away from putting your avatar picture as mine until I came across one of your posts and noticed you already had it. Gotta love the classic Transformers.

    Can I paint a intercooler

    in Turbo / Supercharger

    As SweetLeaf said, use radiator paint. I have used this stuff on a radiator and it is a very thin paint, but still has great coverage. Th looks is also a semi-flat look. Good luck.

     

    Also, have you gotten pulled for showing an intercooler? I just couldn't see gestapo pulling you for having a front mount, unless you were boostin' around town like a mad man and they used the intercooler to spot you.

    Any physicists in the house?

    I always found it cool that by the same token, the faster you travel, relative to the speed of light, the slower your timespace goes. If you travel at high speeds for a while, and then come back to compare watches with a buddy that just sat on the couch, your watch would be set back from his. This has been proven via orbiting astronauts. If you travel at the speed of light, your watch stops.

     

    Faster Z makes you live longer relative to other slower people!

     

    This is the theory of Special Relativity. Your watch wouldn't actually stop, but time would. Time would go by alot faster on earth while you were in light speed.The ratio in time is quite shocking actually. I don't remember exactly what it is but it is something like 150 years on Earth per year you are at light speed.

     

    Another curious thing is that you could never reach the speed of light, since as you approach the speed of light, your apparent mass increases. Since you're heavier, you'll have to apply more power to approach it, which will again make you heavier. It would take an infinite amount power, so you can never reach it.

     

     

    Ya but math states you can divide down a distance in half, infinitly, in which case you can never pass any given point, sigh.

     

    This effect has some verification here with some of your guys projects. Teehee.

     

    I was watching a presentation on the new partical accelerator in Europe and there 17 miles wide smasher pushes protons at a fraction of a mile an hour away from the speed of light. Now that is fast. I wonder if the laws of physics are really holding back our technology or our technology is just not stronge enough.

     

    If you are ever looking for a mind blowing read, pick up the book Fabrics of the Cosmos by Brian Greene. The book breaks down the laws of physics and mostly everything to know into simple terms.
