  1. I am not speaking from ignorance. Hybrids are a fad. I am glad toyota offers a warranty they will definitely be honoring that.
  2. lol. we're all republicans at heart. \/ I dont poking think so you could buy an electric car instead of a hybrid pos today if it wasnt for republican lawmakers. Hybrids are garbage, good luck getting that prius worked on in a few years, or replacing your batteries for 2000 dollars. People are buying hybrids bc they are fashionable. No hybrid currently made can equal the mileage of the civic hx which was a 4 cyl gas engine.
  3. I am going to diagnose and repair a non functioning AC system, I have all tools I could possibly need including a refrig detector and a gauge tester, and 30 pounds of r134a. This would be aimed at guys trying to diagnose and repair their own ac systems rather than paying an arm and a leg for the job, esp if it involves evap replace. If I do, and take pics, as I am a amateur, would people be interested in another ac writeup? I would include all testing, visual inspection, pressure testing, charging, leak detection, and hopefully not, but possibly, an evap replace. LMK thanks, and I really mean this, thanks for VS oops reply in wrong thread but you get the idea. let me know on this I have all digi and comp stuff I would need, just want to know if this would be both useful and appreciated. btw whatever happened to UL havent seen a post in ages...
  4. I have to say Russ B cause he tells it like it is, like it or not
  5. i was in class the other night and this guy had that motor trend - he knows I am really into my Volvo cars and he saved the article for me. I was like oh yeah that thing is toast, been reading about it for a while now. obviously a small world, made smaller by the internet
  6. The fact that he's black and he has aleady been called Osama by the press inadvertantly /\ i noticed the head of fox news got in some hot water today after intentionally calling him osama and saying that bush still hasnt caught him yet...pretty nasty stuff
  7. The only thing not mentioned in the article is that 99 percent of the prisoners are in there for being mexican
  8. i voted to setup a new regime because you didnt have destroy the sh!t we already sold them and sell them some new sh!t once their old sh!t is destroyed. See also Iraq,Haliburton, President of the United States The EU, US, Russia, Britian, etc, could easily smash and occupy the middle east and steal the oil. /\ LMFAO!!!!! Russia? Russia can't even afford to get to their own oil. if what you said was true in any way, it would have already happened. But its a hell of a lot more profitable to go destroy your whole country and sell you back the sh!t you need to build it back up again. Every ten years. lol its sick and sad
  9. it won't be a republican, that's guaranteed. thankfully and don't forget that republicans have the best smear machine in the world, so gore will have no shot AT ALL. and I am a hard core democrat, I just understand that once someone has been mercilessly mocked for something (invented the internet, whined about an election W clearly won, according to W) it sticks with them. Same thing with Kerry. The windsurfing ad was one of the most powerful and irrelevant political ads ever made, and it clearly cost Kerry, even more than those swift boat as$holes. Clinton is interesting, because republicans don't want to be seen as sexist, yet she is the wife of their most hated enemy in the last 40 years-so they have to carefully paint her as a manipulative and cunning WOMAN yet cut her down for anything that resembles male behavior, like confrontation and arguments, taking a stand, etc. She faces an uphill battle. Look for John Edwards to make a comeback, and expect Clinton to be running vp, I am quite sure she will be running in that position. I am not sure who will be the Democratic candidate, but I will be surprised if it's Obama. The fact that he's black and he has aleady been called Osama by the press inadvertantly and beleive me that does matteral-there are many many people that would never ever in 1000000000000000000000000000 years support a black democrat for president. We have come a long way, but we have longer to go. As far as the republicans, I support the weakest candidate they can field. I would suggest Romney/Rudy and keep Mccain off your ticket--he's actually intelligent and respected by both sides, and Dems do not want that.
  10. "a big issue for me is going to be gun control" nevermind I just think guns just cause more problems than they solve No intention to offend
  11. saw a friend who was killed in a car wreck at his funeral-no need for me to see crap like that ever, nevermind voluntarily
  12. i think you forget it was the iraqis who tried him, found him guilty, sentenced him to death, and completed the execution. /\ i think YOU forget that it was the section of the population unfriendly to saddam (IE the other half of the civil war) that did that, not the "iraqi people".
  13. This morning, when I woke up, my yard was filled with brokeback illegal immmigrants. Then like 50 terrorists tried to recruit me to terrorist camp, but my taxes had gotten so high by that point, I couldn't take any time off. I tried to ask some lady what had happened, but she was a damn lesbo and then I had some explaining to do to my kids. They told me that the country had gone democrat. after 2 hours of hannity, 3 hours of limbaugh. I felt much better. Then I tried to go to 7-11, but the damn clerk didnt make any sense, like he was speaking a second language or something. I was like WTF what should a republican do??? Thanks for listening.
  14. Denial isn't just a river in Egypt.
  15. 'madeline notsobright" har har har try making some sense instead of calling people lame names. or not...
  16. 5k for this car is such a deal just in time for ski season hey if you wind up trading it in on an awd you could sell the ecu and exhaust and put someone's stock back on. like mine. but it is a really nice car. Good luck
  17. az pnp is 45 in my humble opinion worth trying I will let you all know how it goes when I get to it
  18. "i love watching fox news" LMFAO Thats a good way to cause a Volvo to catch fire, supporting Bush edit: also, I forget to mention that its all Clinton's fault. Not to mention Ted Kennedy-its all his fault too. Hillary's fault as well. The "real" axis of evil...clinton, kennedy, clinton. Right? there, now you can skip Fox news for the next month!
  19. there is a good writeup on bay 13 I believe i will be replacing mine soon plan on rolling dice with autozone pnp we shall see
  20. if car is redlining, not shifting, you will keep getting tranny codes and entering limp mode. reset the light using the key technique-something I have not read here but I guarantee its true...drive forwards first. Don't back out. When your pnp is done like mine, it will not shift correctly if you go backwards first. My car is true to this 100 percent of the time, its just something i deal with, until i get new pnp.
  21. pnp bad. maybe you over revved engine and car couldnt shift, drew code i think it might be 232 but it is incorrect gear ratio. limp mode engaged, then car goes very very slow. a car in limp mode doesn't go too well from a stop, in fact, I don't think it will go up a hill from a stop. reset the tranny code (on/off 3/4 times, alarm will sound, code should clear) I bet you don't need a tranny at all. The exact same thing has happened to me. Good Luck. edit:is the tranny slipping, ie grabbing and letting go, or was it fine until tranny arrow flashing (limp mode, dtc stored)?
  22. still need an ecu...my car is a 95t5. Lmk if you have any interest in liquidating the upsoloute chip. not trying to bother you or anything. I would buy another 850 if I needed two!
