  1. I was at least +10 on the reputation before this stylinmotors conundrum

  2. Free 2GB DropBox account with bonus 250MB in this link: http://db.tt/anoSZEg

  3. This thread needs to be split into some type of divisions... we could mirror the NFL divisions of N, S, E and W
  4. Chuck would you mind adding the page navigation arrows to the bottom on of each page as well? Its annoying to get to the bottom of the page to scroll back to the top just to get to the next page.
  5. Purge Kit .... ouch

  6. How about are capitalistic failures as well? I'm no socialist, but capitalism is not perfect either. Look at the health care / pharmaceutical industries: highly capitalistic, highly corrupt, and a big FAIL in general.
  7. I keep hearing this as cool as greg lets you be... would you please elaborate so i can get where the joke comes from and be cool too? :D
  8. I also question the metrics which they used to measure these "similarities". They didn' t mention precisely how they measure differences and similarities between. What similarities? Physical, emotional, intellectual similiarties? Seemed like they were purposefully vague in that section. Also with the adoption thing, no indications to the differences in how old a kid was when adopted. That plays a huge difference. The most formative years of a childs life are early on.
  9. If the FDA had it their way, all your food would be artificially manufactured just like all the drugs they approve.
  10. If you spent a dollar a second: 3 Million seconds is 34.7 days 3 Billion seconds is 95 years <according to the bible the earth is 5 to 6 thousand years old 3 Trillion seconds is 95,066 years :o
  11. Definitely one of my favorite rides here on VS Keep it up Hussein... and keep posting that inspiration.
  12. I have to agree that it is prevalent thoughout the internet. The certain level of anonymity of the internets leads to e-badasses and such, not only here. Actually, a bit less here than most places. That, I will applaud. I definitely agree with the fear that some new folks might have when entering The VS realm. I think EVERYONE needs to remember that we are all people. I see short and often misunderstood replies to honest questions. People typing "search button, you can haz it... nooob!" or "try again" or "facepalm" a bit too freely. I understand if it is in jest and all parties understand, then cool. But if someone has a serious question, especially a person that is not a VS Regular, answering like a jerk to prove to others that you have been around so long that you've seen a thread on it before and that YOU know how to search.…. aint cool. (don’t get me wrong, some people need to be told/informed about search and its wonderful benefits, but TACT goes a long way) Remember, what you say now will be searched later! I HATE searching and clicking a thread that I think has my answer only to have it be a dead-end thread because it ended in: "search...noob". That being said, I think we should make a conscious effort to make sure that our posts are searchable (keywording, avoiding post and bail, deleting dead-end threads, etc). We should also make an effort to make sure that good threads don't get muddled up with crap and that when they eventually close, a person who DOES use search will find the info they need without having to start another thread. I'm glad I found this thread, as it reminds me of some things that I personally need to work on as well. I have a couple write-ups that definitely need to be finished. And I'm sure I could be a little more thoughtful before I post. I love the community here and I want to give back for all that I have received. I like this part of the Interwebs (VS) and I promise to help keep it cool. You'll see me try harder to make this a better place in 2009. And with that, I leave you with a quote from Mahatma Ghandi: "We must become the change that we wish to see in others"
  13. You've at least understand the use of punctuation this dude is lost on the stream of conciousness highway I've been getting more since the economy has taken a dump... looks like everyone is looking to more work
  14. ALL over the interwebz the last two weeks. Wierd how stuff flashes in the internets field of vision for a week then will disappear.
  15. I think that will require redesign of the catalyst. Thought I heard somewhere that honda is going to use their nanoparticle technology to get this done. Could be mistaken though.
  16. I presume its designing the urea injection system and the logistics of refilling? Like BluTec did?
  17. Oh I hear you... I just got a 70R bumper for a steal at DW and I'm goin back for more! hahhahaaaaaaa But, still... good to see FCP make the effort here. I'm sure DW's popularity also plays a part in this change in ethos
  18. Welcome, of course! Well, this is the one benefit of a poor economy... Companies are getting creative and serious about change. Tough times lead to innovation through necessity and I'm glad to see you guys are stepping up your game.
  19. Congrats! Back on topic, what about the trannies? I see that they said they improved frictional and pump losses, but what about gearing? are these trannies strong enough to handle to the 420Nm? are they geared to take advantage of the low end torque?
  20. I said eff it and downloaded IETab add on for FF it emulates IE and you can set it to open http://volvospeed.com/*
  21. I found a can of STEVEN SEAGAL energy drink at the 99cents store! I'll take some pics before I drink it to post up.
  22. Are you gonna tell us when the real good deals start rollin in? EDIT: forgot to answer the OP Fraud Dept for Live Nation ticketing... got the job cuz i worked with the VP at my last job
  23. Wow... I had no idea.... Iknow it's been awhile, but any updates to the story?
