    Yeah, you'd never catch me on one of them things. I'd be to scared. Driving a tin can on wheels ain't much better but at least there are 4 wheels and no chance of me falling out of the car. I almost traded my car for 1994 Mitsubishi 3000GT but the guy respected me enough to tell me every last thing that was wrong with the car, and the 2 primary features I wanted were broke. On the search again for a safer car. It'll probably be an Accord EX unless I find a good condition 3000GT. I'm kinda jonesin for a 3000GT now after looking up the standard features list for one. I can actually afford one (i

    Well, you know what. A guy I knew through a TennSpeed.net forums was recently killed in a street race. He was doing over 100MPH on a busy road during the day and lost control of his Supercharged Tiburon GT V6 and went into oncoming traffic and was T-boned by a Cadillac. He was 17. I am seriously considering selling my Civic and getting something slower, YES, slower. And more than likely stock. That way I won't be tempted to drive fast. Plus I'm kinda sick of my current car fallin apart and needin so much. I'm lookin for a vehicle that's in better shape and has all the power options (and hopefu

    well people that drive fast aren't necessarily the ones that bother me (when I'm late for work, I'm one of them) but it is the people that drive recklessly or the people that aren't paying attention are the ones that do. Ever since my wreck and 2 near disastrous wrecks (came out both me and the Civic unscathed), I have been so cautious and nervous when other people pull into roads that I'm on. I had a T100 pull cross the road right as I was coming up, they were on a cell phone. I swerved around them barely missing them. Another time was when a Saturn pulled out in front of me on a 4 lane highw
  4. Even though I've always said I am poor, I am not really. i just don't have money for the things I WANT. Like say that new super duper gaming computer, a crap load of DVD's, new exhaust system for my car, body work and paint job for my car, SiR conversion for my car, a new car, etc. I live well off compared to many having a roof over my head and 2 floors beneath me (at the moment, my room is on the top floor with the main floor below me and the half basement/garage below it) running water, food to eat with no government assistance, not having to do any major work to survive (I work for my own m
  5. Now I really wish I got back more than $245 cause I'm wantin a home Theater setup for my room. I'm supposed to be gettin a "new" 27" f;at tube TV form my manager for $150 but I realized that my current speaker setup blows though it is still kinda cool having Car speakers in it but it has no power (only about 30W) and no remote. I'll go ahead and buy the TV but I'll wait a coupla weeks and buy me a home theater in a box setup from Wally World or Amazon. Gotta have something better to watch my $350 worth of new DVD's (which I pretty deep into to. Total of 24 discs from 4 different series and I h

    Hi..

    I may have to hit you up for some anime ones. I use anime sigs and avatars on Automotive forums yet I use car ones for anime and tech forums. Well for tech forums at least. I've only posted once in an anime one. I do all my anime talking at Honda-Tech forums believe it or not. (We even started our own little group on there called the Otaku Squad ) Too bad they don't allow pics in sigs I'd totally ask you to make a me a cool one for that. Hmmmmmm............... HEY, can you make me a really good sig using Shion from Higurashi no Naku Koro ni using the name Techy. That's my automotive forum nam
  7. ok nevermind, that one lets me do it 15 times then snubs me. i was hoping it had a time limit instead like maybe a few hours or a day or 2. That way I coulda done all that I wanted and uninstalled it. Crap. I'll give the other one a whack but it don't look anywhere near as easy as the second. *oh well, the first doesn't work with XviD .avi's. Crap. **w00t, I found a free one. Unfortunately, This one is not as accurate. To be more exact I'll have to use Audacity to cut the teensy weensy extra parts out.
  8. Thanks man! That second link is perfect. In fact, I don't even need Audacity with it.
  9. I managed to spend all that on DVD's cause there were a total of I think 24 discs in all. Of course 20 of those discs were part of box sets (2 of the same series Volume 1 and 2 entire series 49 episodes = 10 discs, Complete first season of another series 18 episodes = 4 discs, Another series Complete at 24 episodes = 6 discs) and the other 4 were individuals (3 were of the same series, different volumes, the other was the final disc in another series that just came out, I actually went there for this one and wound up with all the rest, had to make that 45 minute drive worth something). I Also
  10. $250 plus 140 I made selling the doors off my old car (actually got $175 but I bought some food for me and some friends). I went to Cool Springs (Big shopping "town" in Tennessee) and went to Best Buy and Suncoast while I was there. I spent nearly $400 total on DVD's. $35 of it for my friend cause I'm just cool like that. My parents would kill me if they found out I just spent that much......on DVD's. Ah well it's my money and they know I'm bout half retarded anyway. I mean I'm THEIR son after all. Where do you think I get it from. I just have this thing where if I find myself with money, I ha
  11. I was wondering if anyone knew how to separate an audio track from video files (namely .avi, .mkv and .mp4). What kind of program would I need and is there a free one I can use? I already have Audacity to edit out the parts of the audio I want. Thanks for any help.
  12. hmmm coulda sworn I pushed thea reply button. Oh well I'll just write it again. I ain't got the job at Geek Squad yet. I just applied. My car gets OK gas mileage but I miss the 40mpg my old one got on the highway versus the 28-30 I get outta this one. Plus I'd like to have a better condition car for driving that far everyday. Mine leaks oil and just looks like any part could fall off at random. I'd like a good older model Honda preferably with Cruise Control (which my beater lacks) that gets decent gas mileage that I can trust. I am definitely getting a second car though. Or at least I'm gonna
  13. HAHA!! I jsut noticed that UT Knoxville was on that list. That's funny. A little more than 6 years ago, my brother was there livin in the dorms. So take Napster in it's free music sharing prime and mix in a T1 internet connection and a college student with a love for music. HA. He came home with more than 300 songs in a semester and that was a big deal 6 years ago.
  14. Why thank you on commentin on my skills. Of course if I had been REALLY good, I wouldn't touched the brake peddle at all and just gone around the guy but your first reaction when someone pulls out in front of you is to hit the brake. I hit the brake and then realized that was gonna slow me down fast enough and then I tried to go around him. I still think I did alright. Well, my dad made me apply for Geek Squad. He made me do it. I'll have to drive 45 minutes to work everyday, but I think that 10 bucks an hour totally justifies the drive. I'm thinking seriously about buying a second car. Somet
  15. Well ya know....ummmm..................uhhhh.......................hmmm. yeah. Screw It. Hard life for me was when I had to go 2 weeks without my car on 2 separate occasions (1. when I wrecked 2. when an engine mount and clutch broke in my new car). Havin to have momma drop me off at college and work. Havin to sit in the Library for ridiculous amounts of time but ummmm, yeah I had a laptop and wireless internet access along with games like Counter-Strike plus I had anime to watch that I loaded onto my laptop before leavin the house. So, umm not that bad really. But still, it sucked not havin a
  16. Yeah and the 4 bangers back then didn't have fancy VVT (in my case VTEC) to give them enough power to make those tiny little econo boxes move as fast as sports cars. Old people. Pssch. Ha, I'm kidding. I'm glad I never here my dad talk about crap like that. The only thing is he doesn't like PC's. He loves messing with Mainframes and he wants a Mac though. The only new thing that makes him mad and talk about the past is drink machines and how long it takes for them to spit a drink out. One guy not living in the past and not complaining how hard it USED TO BE. He doesn't care.
  17. I'm gonna treat Vista the same way I treated XP. Not till I build a new machine. I loved XP when I switched. The reason why I loved it cause I switched from 98se on a machine with 800MHz PIII with 512MB of PC133 RAM and a GeForce2 MX400 to XP SP2 on a machine with Athlon XP 3000+ with 512MB of PC3200 (Later upgraded to 1GB) and a GeForce2 MX400 (started with same card, later upgraded to FX5700 Ultra, then again to a 6600GT)................in 2005. Oh I waited a LONG time to upgrade but then again I had no money then. I have a job and a car that I'm parting out to get me money now so I can upgr

    a total of 13 were killed with 8 of them being at that high school.
  19. I don't think this has really been done. Do any ya'll have a MySpace? I already have a few of ya'll on my list like Jeff (Besttechie), macmarauder, robroy, and Sultan Emerr. I recently updated mine to match my computers desktop. Check it out Honda Boy's Myspace It's got a lot of red and black, don't it. My old layout was kinda lame, but I take pride in the fact I created both my old layout and this new one too.
  20. My brother usually answers his cell phone or work phone with "This is Chuck". My dad does too with his work phone. His name is Chuck too. If it's someone I know I usually just say hey. I fI don't know who it is I just say politely, Hello. Sometimes I'll slip Japanese or something in there. oh I forgot, you say Moshi Moshi when answering the telephone in Japanese or sometimes simply Hai. OR some people will say who they are.
  21. I don't do that crap with music. I download fansubbed anime that hasn't been licensed in the US though. I'm addicted to it. MP3's? pssssch. Forget that. CAn't no one get me for that. Heck I can even download licensed stuff if I wanted too but I'd rather buy the DVD's to support the company putting it out. I'm bout to start downloading some licensed stuff cause it's taking to long for them to get the DVD's out. I need a life. That would be cool if my college had a music sharing network but it's a community college and 5 bucks says it wouldn't have what I wanted anyway. I have a tad bit strang
  22. I know how to greet you in Japanese in more ways than what that said. Ohaiyo (pronounced Ohio basically) - Informal first greeting of the day. Equates to Good Morning Ohaiyo Gozaimasu - Formal Version Kon'nichiwa - standard hello Kunbawa - good evening (I'm just guessing at the spelling on this one) Oyasuminasai - Full version of Good night Oyasumi - shortened version. Tadaima - said when returning from somewhere. Usually said when returning to ones residence but can be used when leaving a room and coming back and other ways. Equates to "I'm Home" or "I'm back" Okaerinasai - Said to someone re
  23. man, my project came inches from being over and me having to start a new one. I was driving to work and I'm on the bypass (multi-lane road that goes around the town) and I was just cruisin at about 65 and I switch lanes back to the right. Well a little spot where cars turn in from the left onto this road comes a Saturn. Now, there is an acceleration lane they are supposed to use. Guess what. They decide to ignore that lane, cross the left lane, then pull into the right......RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME WHILE I'M GOING 65!!!!!! DAMN. Idiot. I swerved I hit my brakes and went around him. There were vehi
  24. ok, here's a good way to find out. Run a PCMark benchmark test on the 5400 then if you switch to 7200, run PCMark again and compare the results and see if there is a difference. I have experience all around faster loading and writing. I'm about to install some games and my PCMark and 3DMark stuff to really test it out.
