  1. Yeah that's all they are is Grocery Getters. I think my dad's 98 Tacoma 4 banger 2-wheel drive is more of a truck than most trucks today. Bed liner, tool box, mud flaps, A 5 SPEED MANUAL!!!!, and it gets used for more work than the most trucks I see in town. Granted it's also a daily driver but still it's a work horse too. Only 3 amenities it's got is A/C, Power Steering, and a CD Player (after market, my old JVC). We haul, lawn mowers/other lawn equipment, recyclables, loads and loads of crap from Lowe's, tools, automotive parts, motor oil, you name it. Hell, my hatch is more of a truck (I've
  2. Got me a new one for my Lappy. I found a textless version of my last one.
  3. Fixed a little today. I got my Si Center Console (strut bar got messed up so i couldn't get it) so today I decided to clean it (it was kinda nasty). Went to town cleaning it, the armrest compartment was sticky and the cupholders had some crap in them plus there was just other crap on it. I thought about switching out the shift boots cause I didn't like the one that was on it (doesn't look OEM) but my CX one doesn't look much better and I didn't feel like removing and reinstalling the console again. In the old console I pulled 2 clips. My vent on my driver side was missing it's clips and it kep
  4. nope it didn't work, it still rearranges my icons. Why does it keep doin this. It's annoying. I always arrange my icons a certain way and this is annoying the crap outta me. * well I cut off Align to grid and that seemed to fix it.
  5. as I said the show in groups isn't there but auto arrange is. I've always used auto arrange in XP and never had this trouble but I'll shut it off and try.
  6. Well, there ain't an option for that in Vista it seems.
  7. I'm havin trouble with my Vista Laptop and it's desktop icons. Every time I restart the thing the icons get rearranged. I move them to where I want them and when I shut it down and turn it back on later, the icons are right back where they were. Why does it keep doing this and how can I stop it? Thank you for the help.
  8. Wow! Really? COOL!!!! Happy B-day to Besttechie.net!!!

    wow, that lady is stupid. Back in the day when I had a 1985 Pontiac Sunbird and thought I had a blown fuse I took it to Advance and the dude grabbed a tester and walked right out to my car and tested every last fuse in the thing. Now I know how to check them myself (I've had to change a few on my hatch). It's not hard. You just pull out the fuse and look in the center and make sure the the metal piece is still in one piece. If it's melted and has a gap then it's blown. Usually there is a diagram of the fuse box that tells what fuse is what right on the cover of the box. You might wanna go to O

    Car Help!

    swing by Advance Auto and ask for a free fuse check. If they find bad fuses, get new fuses.
  11. I asked for an Si one, that's what the receipt said, but apparently they are all the same. I got it in, me and my friend (both of us never having done this before) got it done in about 40 minutes or so. Tomorrow I plan to go to Nashville to pick up an OEM 99-00 Civic Si center console (has an armrest and my console is busted up and missing a few things) and an OEM 99 Si Strut bar. $55 for them. *By the way isteve, are those Slips (Rota Slipstreams) on your Miata?
  12. A friend of mine posted this on Tennspeed. I just find it hilarious. Boot to the Head
  13. And it ain't always limited to automotive either. Well, I didn't get up early enough so I'll get it tomorrow. My neighbor just paid me today for house sittin, so it should cover it. I may go cheap after all and get another CX one but I still will try for an Si radiator.
  14. Whoops forgot to show my last one. but I'm this one now the red is kinda intense so I'll probably switch soon. I love the pic though.
  15. I think that that's perfectly fair. Normally I fix people's computers and do crap like this for free and refuse payment (even though I refuse 90% of the time I end up getting the money anyway cause they refuse to let me do it for free like Bob whom I reinstalled Windows for, gave me $75 when I said I'd do it for free) but for something that's that much of a PITA, I think it's fair.
  16. Wooo, yay. I did some work for my neighbor while she was on vacation and I'm getting paid. And I just got paid from my job, yay. I have moeny, time to buy new hard drive. SCREEEEEEEEEEETCCCHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wrong. My radiator has a crack or something and is starting to leak so time for a replacement. I don't even wanna attempt to fix it since it's the stock 96 CX radiator while I have a 99 Si motor that has larger hoses and crap. I'm gonna order one of 3 different radiators. OE replacement 99-00 Civic Si radiator, OE replacement 96-97 Civic Del Sol VTEC radiator, OEM JDM 98-01 Honda Integra

    Taku .... baka. Daijoubu. Ha! glad you sorted it out. Since TennSpeed (and my revived anime fandom), I've been kinda less prevalent around here so I guess I missed that prob. I was probably watchin anime the whole time this was going on
  18. It says on the PlastX bottle that it can be used for that too. It even works on CD's it says.
  19. I know someone that wet sanded with 3 different grains and then used PlastX. Using just PlastX itself gets a lot of oxidation off. Just for giggles, I used it on my 99 headlight (i only have one and it doesn't fit 96-98 anyway) and it did really well. It was already in considerably better condition than my 96 lights but it still ended up looking a lot better after PlastX.
  20. Well, I worked on the headlights today......again. Different method this time. Last time I was wet sanding, buffing, and using Scratch-X. This time I went to O'Reilly's, bought some PlastX (both Scratch-X and PlastX are McGuire's), and went to town. All I did was put the PlastX on some shop towels and wiped away on my headlights. It removed a lot of oxidation and cleared them up good. I'll get pics when I can. I also washed my car yesterday.
  21. Here's my latest laptop wallpaper.
  22. be glad you aren't in the Maury County, TN school system. Those little brats started last week. The first day was July 30th I think.

  24. Got a new laptop and here's my desktop on it for now. I'm trying to find a wallpaper (and maybe theme) I like more.
