  1. It's a classic Corvette. Late 60's early 70's or something. You talkin about the newest Accords. The side of the sedans are pretty lame lookin but I think the front looks OK. Kinda looks toyotaish but not that's alright. I think the front of the coupe with the factory lip kit looks pretty awesome. Lip kits always make the difference. I thought the newest Camry was kinda bleh looking but the ones with the factory lip kit look mean.
  2. Well, the EX is not the econo box model. Really they don't make econobox civics anymore. 2000 was it for them and I mean the hatches cause they were the cheapest, lightest, most fuel efficient models. The EX is the top end fully loaded model (like my old coupe, only missing features were 4-wheel Disc ABS and a wing) excluding the Si sport models. PT Cruisers have come down in price now so they are kinda similarly priced but still for what my parents payed they could have gotten an infinitely better vehicle and a reliable mechanic. My mechanic is a Honda specialist. He only works on Honda/Acura
  3. I'd almost support that. What was retarded though was it was an $18,000 BASE model car too. For the same cash my parents dropped on this base model PT Cruiser, they could have had a fully loaded Civic EX 4 door (top model just under the sport model 3 door Si) which would have had more features, better fuel economy, and it would have been more reliable. I have to say thugh that particular style Civic (01-03) were about as ugly as homemade sin though, particularly the 4 doors. Now they weren't near as ugly as an Element, they were just ugly in comparison to pretty much any other style of Civic.
  4. Actually we've fit some hella big stuff in the back of my hatch but still, the PT Cruiser with what it is should have far better mileage. Now newer models have better mileage but still a 3200lb car vs. a 4400lb truck, you'd think the Cruiser would get close to the same mileage but instead it gets Minivan mileage. A honda accord is an overall larger vehicle but weighs about the same and gets better mileage too. Same size engine even with same torque rating but higher 160HP rating. I'm still trying to figure out exactly why that car has such terrible mileage. Really i think it's the ECU. It alre
  5. get this both the Tacoma and the Cruiser have about the same power (140HP 160TQ) but the truck weighs about 1200lbs more and still gets better mileage. Even the ratings on the auto versions are better. It still amazes me though that I own the "sport" vehicle that requires premium and has a close ratio sport transmission and yet I still get better fuel mileage than any car that anyone in my family owns. This includes both the Cruiser and the Tacoma, a 98 4Runner Special Edition 4Cyl Auto, 03 Cavalier LS Sport Auto (sport my @$$, I get 0 feeling of sport from this piece of crap), 08 (I think) Im
  6. well my gripe about the SUV thing is cause I live in Tennessee where mom's have these monsters cause they think they need the space or safety when they don't then they complain when they fill it up. And with towing. We've towed an old tractor on a trailer hooked up to our 28 MPG 4cyl 5-spd Toyota Tacoma. I think my mom is a little entitled to gripe. She doesn't gripe so much about the cost of a fill-up but rather the god-awful fuel mileage that her 03 PT Cruiser gets........ 22 City, 24 Hwy. My dad's Tacoma pulls off about 24 City, 28 Hwy.
  7. Currently cleaning up my room: Dream Theater - Systematic Chaos (Album) After I'm finished with it, I'll probably switch to another Dream Theater album or maybe a Pagan's Mind album.
  8. It's always the people with the huge SUV's that complain too. "It cost me X amount to fill up the Suburban and I have to fill up every 5 days cause I drive to (Insert Town 45 min to an hour 1/2 away)". Ummmm, My car requires premium, has insanely short gears, and I don't drove all that economically and I still spend less than you on gas. Fill up every week and a half to 2 weeks and I still only spend $22-30 on gas on a fill-up. I hate to hear SUV drivers complain (mainly just full size V8-V10 SUV's). You picked that monster out from the lot, deal with it.
  9. Premium (93) was $3.03 today at my fill-up. Spent $26.50 I think. Still pullin off an average of about 30 MPG City (not bad for a B16). Regular is $2.79 while Mid-Grade is $2.91.
  10. That's a heck of an upgrade. Nice. I'm the other way around though. I've bought most of mine (and all their parts too) and my parents use MY computers. They use an old (but massively upgraded) Athlon 2600 Compaq I bought about a year and a half ago from my Ex girlfriend. My main rig I paid for too. However, my parents bought my laptop for me (and the last one too) but I chipped in 75 bucks to keep the 1GB memory upgrade in it though. I name my compies too. The main rig is Xplorer named after the Aspire X-Plorer case it's in. My TV PC is named Ralf in honor of my late grandfather. It used to b
  11. Cool that's a fair amount of posts there. I'll tell ya what though. TennSpeed (my other online home.......oh come on. It's for automotive stuff) has gotten popular quick. That and a few select members post WAY too much (one or two with over 3000 posts in the short time TennSpeed has been online). Half our posts on there are in off topic and are practically pointless. But so far we have made 62262 posts since December when TennSpeed went live.....yeah.
  12. I need to get the student version ASAP. It's gettin to the point that OpenOffice ain't cuttin it. Good thing it can be installed on 3 machines. I can put it on the main rig, my lappy, then put it on the "family" PC for my parents to use (it's one of my computers but my parents, and my brother when he visits, use it)
  13. Dream Theater - I Walk Beside You Dream Theater - Panic Attack Dream Theater - Never Enough these and the 2 before are all from Octavarium *I just realized I'm wearing my Queensryche t-shirt and have been listenin to Dream Theater all day. I guess I'll listen to Operation Mindcrime or Empire after this.
  14. I need to remember to rip Systematic Chaos sometime. It's not on my laptop and I want to listen too it right now. Unfortunately only one of my PC's has the ability to rip CD's to MP3 and that's the one downstairs that I never use. i'm too lazy to ever go down there and do it. I need to find my Audigy 2 ZS disc and install Media Source on my main rig. For some reason, the version of Media Source on Creative's site will not do MP3 ripping unless you pay for it. The version on my disc does but I've lost it. The other computer has the predecessor of Media Source that came with the Live! 5.1 but it
  15. Dream Theater - The Root of All Evil Then probably: Dream Theater - These Walls
  16. Bought some crap today. Got me some more Mobil 1 5W-30, a Wix Filter, some oil plug rings, and some Trico wiper blades. Gonna change my oil later this week. Gotta go to my brother's house and get my ramps back from him and he's in Mississippi right with his "training" or whatever for work (claims adjuster....... yeah I don't really get it). I went ahead and swapped the blades earlier. My old NAPA ones (which were actually made by Trico) were starting to suck. I guess cause they were on the car for about 9-10 months. These new blades are trippy lookin. They are a new design that's supposed to b
  17. you need to get Images an Words next. That's pretty much their most famous album if not the best.
  18. now I'm quite PO'ed. I did a "quest" (actually I already had what they wanted me to find) and got this this free hairstyle change thing but it was at random. I didn't get to pick. It gave me the one I hated the most. DANG. Now I'm considering paying the absolute smallest I can to get a different hairstyle cause this one sucks. This will probably be the only time I spend real money on it if I do. The lowest you spend is $5 and it gets you 5000 nexon cash. Should be plenty to get me a new hairdo and maybe a better weapon or armor. My character kinda sucks still but is gettin better. Lucky for me
  19. Well I started playing it last night. Not too bad. SLOW. Then again, i'm used to fast paced games like Counter-Strike and Call of Duty. It's a good time killer. You make virtual money in the game and buy essential crap while there's extra crap you have to pay for for real. I'm cool with not spending any real money. That's why I started playing it.
  20. Well, i figured I'd try to play an MMORPG for the heck of it but I picked one that was free and 2D. I'm gonna give Maple Story a try. If I don't like, cool, I didn't waste any money on it. If I like, I'll keep playing but I don't think I'll ever try a paid one. Most look unappealing to me but Maple Story looks interesting. i learned about it a few months ago but recently they've been airing commercials and they reminded me of it. I was waiting for class and was bored so I decided to sign up. I'm waiting for the download and I'll probably start it when I get back home. I don't really have much
  21. Wow, did I find a gem. In my History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi Single I found this song: Yazumi Kana - Get Away Has an modern American Rock sound with a female singer. Sounds like it coulda been in the Need for Speed Underground sound track or something.
  22. Well my Library is about to be massively increased. I've already downloaded 6 singles today and have 28 left to go on my torrent list. Each single contains anywhere from 2-6 tracks. Many times some of the tracks on the singles are merely instrumental Karaoke versions of the main tracks. Also they're all full versions of anime OP/ED's. I just found out the website I had been using to find these torrents was unreliable in the music area so I used the one I normally use for anime. I thought most of these simply hadn't been released by the group that gathers them. Instead that one site just didn'
