Agreed. You need to consult the people you are closest to, even if it is painful to do so. We can't be of the same kind of help that a person who knows you can.
I know. I know how you feel, I am a diagnosed bi-polar manic depressive, and have attempted suicide numerous times. What I didn't realize, was there many MANY people in my life who wanted to help, but didn't know how to approach me about it. They wanted ME to say the first word, and I finally mustered up the courage to say so...and then all my pent up emotions spilled over. I also went to a professional, and that helped TREMENDOUSLY, because they knew nothing of me, and were objective.
And finally, just remember that God and Jesus are there for you, to listen to your prayers and thoughts, and have unconditional and boundless love for you, even if you choose to ignore them.

Holy wow! Thanks for the link! My wife said she could justify me spending money on a G25 if it dropped below $200. I knew my patience would pay off!
Bought and shipped! WOOHOO!

Pretty complicated contest. But hey, your money, your rules.

Ah yes...you got a taste of running a longer race. This past weekend I ran in the 24 hour Kyoto race, and after you run so many laps, you fall into a trance so to say; everything else is blocked out and the laps just seem to fly by.
I dont know about anyone else, but there is an immense satisfaction after you finish a race that is an hour or more long.
.....Anyway.
It would be nice to see your speed along with time at every sector, not just balls out fastest speed. That way, you can look back at a replay, and, let us admit it, would be a useful tool to better improve lap times and consistency, especially for the anal retentive / obsessive hot lapper. Having only as an admin option is limiting it's potential.
Some people can register if they are faster or slower by sector times, other people glance at their speedo when they hit the sector mark. Would be nice to have both shown.

AVG free, have yet to have a virus get past it.

We at Land Of The Free really enjoyed being on the track with you, your drivers always passed cleanly and without drama. We, and League of the Americas would be happy to see you participate in our inter-league races!
I came up with a slogan for the event:
"I raced the 24 hours of Kyoto and all I got was this stupid disconnect".
Threats wont get what you want in LFS.
I like the idea of active whimpering. Much bettr than the active whining we read on the forums.
Dont be sorry at all! My team (528) are also on server #3, and we have nothing but praise for you. It looks like you have been pushed around, knocked around, and treated like a moving chicane....but you are STILL in the race. I and my team are very proud of your efforts.
Everyone who is reading this, give these guys a standing ovation at the end of the race. You did great in spite of the circumstances.
And, if I am not mistaken, was playing online poker also. That RB4 is going to be famous.
All the cruise stuff is about 5% driving and 95% socializing....kind of like an interative IRC channel.
Which is just fine by me. It means the social butterflys who cant stop talking can go there, and the people who want to race will do so at other servers, and not get annoyed by racers who just cannot stop typing while racing. It gets annoying, and the less of them in a race server, the better. Everyone benefits!

Nothing fancy, made it look like it was taken with a 15-20mm lens.
Uhhh...heh, take a look at his past threads. Bosnian pyramids, the matrix, etc. it gets really weird.

Ach....no problem at all. I'll do it again for someone else. 
Go to http://www.lfs.net/?page=shop
You wont be able to share a licence, your friend I guess can log in as you, but that is not such a hot idea, because they will be using your name. Best to buy.
My prediction came true! As I stated earlier:

Seriously Kenneth, you go through teams like pairs of underwear; and pretty soon, no one will want you on your team if they know you are just going to up and leave them. Or conversely, if you start a team, way too many people know of your history and wont bother to join.
I do not know if playing online if a reflection of your real life personality, but I hope you get this...trait straightened out before adulthood, or you will have some serious problems down the road. Harsh words? Yep. Truth hurts!

Invalid. Sorry!

A free S2 Voucher to a approved demo player.
Since I am also in the giving mood, I have one (1) free S2 voucher to the demo player of my choosing. The demo player whom wants this voucher will send me a private message, answering these questions:
1)what is my real first name? (blatantly obvious)
2)Do I live near Chicago, Illinois?
3)What league did I establish in December, 2006?
4)Do I use a wheel, or a mouse to drive?
First demo user to send me the correct answers will get the voucher. And this will not be instantaneous; I will be checking on your demo history to see if you meet my criteria.

Racing online, except for a few whom seem to go out of their way to perpetuate a stereotype, I see no difference in human behavior. 99% of the people I race online are wonderful, thoughtful human beings. We are not as different as we think we are, the only division being language.
I have always pondered why some are obsessed with race and culture; we are all humans, right? Fundamentally, we all have the same ideals, morals and codes that dictate how we live our life, and how we perceive the world around us.
A thought about racism; I have come to this conclusion in how I regard race: we are all one race, if you think about it. To classify and separate a human being based on their color of their skin or their ethnic background is silly and backwards. It is as logical as saying the earth is flat.
My other belief is that we are all, in some degree, racist. The area in the human brain that forms those beliefs is, I think, in the most primative part of it. So, in life you have two choices: you can either think with the most primitive part of your brain, and fall deeper into hate, fear and depression, OR take the harder path, and make a conscious effort every day to fight the bigoted thoughts in your head. The person who says that they are not bigoted or racist is a liar, or in denial of their thoughts. Fight those hateful thoughts everyday!
Imagine if the world started thinking like that...we can then live in peace and harmony with each other. It starts...with you!

Get rid of the nitrous, a 200 shot on a (supposed) 1.6 liter will kill it quickly.
Neon lights do not make your car go faster, neither does having 2 fart cans. Eliminate.
Whoever you bought it from, I hope they set up the turbo correctly. Unless it has strengthened internals, the (supposed) 1.6 stock will handle about .8 bar and that is it. If you are driving, and you see puffs of smoke when you shift, the engine already has one foot in the grave.
I have a new found love for the RB4, when I graduated up to a silver license in STCC / UKCT.
The way I set it up, it now behaves like a very powerful XFG; slight understeer into the corners, slight oversteer out. No oversteer drama, no plowing understeer, just....right.
Try this, see what others think:
Front clutch pack LSD:
Locking(power/coast) 60% - 50%
Preload: 160 Nm
Rear viscous LSD
Viscous Torque 10 Nms/Rad
Centre Viscous LSD
Viscous Torque 17 Nms/Rad
Front Torque split 50%
Now, some may make the "oh yucky" face when seeing my specs, but it makes the car very predictable and steady; you may not win every race (and you never will on setups alone) but you will finish in a respectable place.
Try it!
Set works for all Aston except Cadet and Club.
