Quote from cmanns :

Why? Because I atleast hoped for VWS before nearly a year later, here we are a year later, a beautiful 2010 and nothing.

I hoped to lose my virginity years ago. Still haven't. Where's my threads and polls?

Dvi is as good as HDMI picture quality..

DVI can be analog as well, though.

XRT has an Inline 4, that's a V6. Not possible to make it sound at all close.

Quote from NSX_FReeDoM :

correct me if im wrong. it doesn't take much skills to do that jump does it? i mean as long as you are going fast enough, and the cross wind is minimal, then you are pretty much grantee to make that jump.

This:

Quote from wheel4hummer :

It's more then that. If you go too fast you can overshoot and end up hitting the ramp too hard. Too slow and you crash into the front of the ramp which would probably be worse. But you can also alter the pitch of the car in the air by braking/continuing to hit the throttle. If the pitch is wrong then you can mess up the landing as well.

Watch this video with Colin McRae. He explains it pretty well:

Quote from Töki (HUN) :

Even I could do that. All you need is pushing the throttle and some nuts. Nothing can go wrong, really.

I'd prefer if this thread had no pictures whatsoever. But instead this is a "look at me, my girlfriend is hotter than yours" thread. Sure, it's okay to be attracted to someone because of their looks. But as long as they know that you only want to be with them for bragging rights and/or sexual satisfaction, and you're not pretending to be attracted to the girl affectionately/passionately just because you want to get in their pants. That's manipulative and sleazy.

That ice machine is probably in an outdoor hallway in a hotel, even though it's designed to be inside, so the water is frozen in the input tube to the ice maker.

It's free LSD... how is that such a bad thing?

Again, it's not Scavier hosting the gameservers

I believe he is referring to the master server.

Quote from Klutch :

Women aren't smart. You can manipulate them to do anything you wish with a bit of good thinking and teasing.

Oh yes, because men are never manipulated by women who tease them!

Quote from EliteAti :

CSI zoom style *YYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH*

Well, this is what the United States was capable of in 1966:


One can only imagine what's possible now.

There's some cars in this picture somewhere.

Quote from BlueFlame :

Threw up a remix of U96's Das Boot techno remix of the original score, so I went one better, or worse, you decide :P it's not finnished and I shall cut a few bits out. Personally I think the main score is fine, but I put a few breaks in and I think I'll get rid of them to be honest. I need a few ideas to break down the song anyway, I just did some dodgey pitch changes so theres at least SOME progression in the song lol

If I were to remix that, between 2:00-2:06 I'd drag out the last note probably using a "delay" effect, and then have a sweeping low pass that fades out completely right before the next bit. And then I'd have the bit between 1:38 and 2:00 come in again, but with a harder, slightly boomier, slightly overdriven beat, and maybe some closed HH to go along with it.

I don't feeling like firing up my DAW of choice (Reaper) and trying, since I'm tired and going to bed. Otherwise I'd remix your remix of a remix.

EDIT: Actually, I'd probably put the 1:38-2:00 bit I was talking about with the modified beat right at 2:20 instead since it builds up for it anyway.

Yeah their jet program is still going, but sadly only their car business isn't.

GM never owned Saab AB.

Quote from Bob Smith :

Gravity comes from mass density, not mass. You could change the mass of the earth without the Earth's gravitational field strength changing, likewise you could change g without changing the mass (just give the earth a little squeeze and watch everyone get heavier).

What if earth was cylindrical?

EDIT: I just realized the answer to my own question. If you doubled the length but kept the density the same, the mass would go up, and since the law of universal gravitation is a function of the product of the gravitational constant and the quotient of the product of the two masses of the objects and their distance (I cant believe I just wrote that out in sentence form), the gravity would stay the same because the proportion of mass to distance is the same.

Also, it seems like the law of universal gravitation is kind of a "hack" so to speak. Because it doesn't seem like it would work if you are inside of an object, like if you're swimming underwater in the ocean, for example. And if one full hemisphere of the earth was made of lead, and the other was made of some less dense material like balsa wood, would there be more gravity on the side with the lead? Though I suppose that the distance used for the law of universal gravitation is the distance between the center of masses, not the center of the volume.

Quote from pearcy_2k7 :

Don't be silly, the fecking things do not smell nice at all.

At first I thought you were still on the topic of the hymen.

Quote from logitekg25 :

i know a few horse riders and they are all pretty hot maybe pshcos, but i dont really think so

in heath i learned that if ou ride horses a lot it can 'pop their cherries'

or in my teachers words 'it appears they lose their virginity cause the horse does something to them'

but she diddnt mean for it to sound funny, she diddnt quite know

Now, if only you could pay as much attention in English class as you do in SexEd.

Quote from ColeusRattus :

Well, yes actually. If a dog owner who pets his dog often hands me a glass, I can even smell the dog on the glass.
So I assume that a girl sitting on a horse might carry the smell, even though there's a saddle and a saddlecloth in between.

She can saddle me instead.

Quote from Migz :

Correction, it was a day.
God knows how, probably because somehow she pinned this all on me, and because everyone can see it wasnt my fault, that it was her fault our relationship failed she decided to get really pissy with me and send me death threats.

That's so detailed, it tells the whole story from both points of view so well.

Quote from MAGGOT :

If she was about 3 years older she'd be pretty sexy. Nice rack, too.

Also, without the fake blood. I don't know about the 3yrs older part though. As long as she's legal.

Quote from speed1 :

1) I need a car that can carry 4 people, their mtn. bikes and their personal gear, as well as any other necessary gear. I know a miata cant do that.

2) Could you carry 800-1000 pounds of fire wood in the back of a Miata? (yes, I know, but thats what the CRV gets used for.

A Saturn S-Series can, especially the wagon.

Quote from speed1 :

3) Can a Miata get through 8-12 inches of snow?

Can a CRV?

Quote from speed1 :

4) We already own the CRV, we know its history, and we know what the issues are with it.

Fair enough, but I was just making a suggestion as no-where in the thread until your response to my post was any use of the car listed other than Rallycross and autocross.

Why not just buy a cheap NA Miata, or a Saturn S-Series or something?
