    DC Police

    i would beleive u win the snowball fight when u draw a 9mm. Granted its DC, so teh officer expected someone else to pull a piece too.
  2. Toyota is making 3 billion in losses for '08 and '09. but the sentiment is close to the mark. Ford does seem to be turning it around.
  3. :svengo::smilielol5: let upgraditis continue. i'd like to see the new caterham graphics, teh double stripe and side side w/ name in black on the silver. i think that would make it really sharp. and waiting for it should keep it siting still tll 2011:deadhorse: congrats on seeing it nearly finished. sucks as old man winter has now crossed the continent.
  4. unsnap all but the front or rear snap and rotate the 1/2 door up, scissor or lambo style.
  5. ^^^ congrats
  6. what was the starting handcap, looked like the Stig's liver was made of steel. Seems like a hysterical way to pass an afternoon. actually looked quite similar to any of the local PCA autoXs
  7. 2nd'd. another little nusance that points me to swapping my 15 yr old subaru w/ a recent drivetrain as opposed to getting a new STi. the cars aer being dumbed down to teh level of teh drivers exams!
  8. nest week can be because of barnacles due to global warming.
  9. a 3 ton jack isn't going to be light. even if aluminium, it will be heavy. my last few jacks have been Arcan units from Costco, and my local one has the heavy duty unit(lift an Escalade w/ a newborn's pinky). I beleive its all steel, but tons of mechanical advantage and high lift height. not a very low profile unit compared to their aluminium 1.5 ton jack. u can always drive a se7en on to bricks or wood planks before jacking.
  10. if u don't have a camera setup, the go pro set ups are very good. the HD version is an immense improvement on top of that. I expect its only issue will be wind buffetting in our cars. Other than that, there is the inherent problem of CMOS vs CCD. at this price level CMOS is what u'll find. I used an Aiptek HD camera starting this season and the picture quality is really nice, wind noise absolutely sucked even taping over the microphone opening. at the end of the season i picked up an inexpensive all in one bullet cam setup. wind noise is something i'll try to find a work around, and its not HD, but it doesn't have the shake issue that the weird shaped Aiptek can suffer from. the aiptek records to .mov files and thebulletcam is .avi files. thebulletcam.com unit -> Nov 1,2009 MetroNYPCA Tobay AutoX on Vimeo the other 2 videos are the aiptek unit. Really wondering what Randy Chase is working on. maybe the HD unit will be unveiled in 2010?
  11. to u and family as well Martin. And all of u out there in se7ens land!
  12. give that linebacker a hershy bar. w/ almonds. cause he nuts.
  13. and i'll be staying local.

  15. 1085, 1/2 tank fuel. No hank, no other aerodynamically enhanced people either.

  21. and Snake Bit starts up today and gets driven into work. unbeleivable.:toetap05:
  22. yes, just 3 nights of 2 x 1 hour epsiodes. I did like 93's outfit and room decor. there were some minor homages to the original series. we'll see where the next 2 nights go.
  23. Lovely weather at the end of the weekend made up for the lousy friday and saturday. Bill Thomas was an excellent host and many thanks to Atwell for organizing today. Great seeing jack, jen, Mike, and Steve again, plus meeting Ron. The scheduled drive should definitely be fun a second time, and I plan to look and see if i can recreate the detour that Mike and I took. His Crackberry really saved the day with the delay on 80. My GPS' final gesture was to get 3 cars righted correctly northbound on 209!
  24. he crashes into teh water fountain in FRONT of HIS house?!!!? how do u crash an '09 Ford. a 1909 Ford.
