Don't lump me in with them. I'm an enthusiast of mechanic design, be it engines, weaponry, or productive machinery. Not a guy with a wrench that reads the marketing garbage AFE/insert other "enthusiast" brand that can't legally warranty half of their products.

 

I fail to see a correlation between people screeching variations of "forced induction is more efficient!!! Reclaimed energy!!!" and anything I've said.

If you can't be civil. Please leave

 

Edit. That goes for everyone in the thread

I'm not usually a fan of lowered/slammed cars, but damn if my dad ever decides to lower the bags on the Audi, the car could look pretty good (he definitely wouldn't do that though)

Nope. I'm in the US. The C5 is the only Allroad that has bags. After that they stopped using them (and they went from the A6 to A4). At least in the States.

My box was pulled out of a Tacoma that he's selling. $50 and I helped him bleed the brakes he upgraded on his old boss's El Camino.

Sweet deal. :D If I can't find something I'll just go find scrap metal to cut to size and have someone weld it together. Could get a can of header or block paint and call it a day.

1967 Plymouth Barracuda Fastback Formula S. Dare I say it looks nicer than the '70?

I wanna RWD car so bad... I hate Toyota right now.

 

 

on a good note though, I'm getting lower ball joints replaced in the Tundra tomorrow (recall). I really really really really REALLY hope they are what's making the awful squeaking noise up front.

For some reason my dads front sway bar bushings love to squeak unless you like soak them in lube for a year. xD

I like driving, but driving 560 kms a week is too much for the pathetic pay I get from the army.

That's like 50 miles a day, every day. I'd get sick of that.. Too far.

I know how you feel. My daily commute is 100 miles round trip ~160kms. So 500miles or 800km a week in just going back and fourth to work. 

 

And people wonder why I don't care to travel on the weekends :P

I'd get sick and so would my wallet. Travelling by bus takes ages but is free at least.

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016

I woke up, put on shorts and a short sleeve shirt, walked outside to 55F weather.

 

 

was a bit chilly... had to hurry though so no time to change. The .6 mile walk to class wasn't too fun :(

 

 

 

at least it's in the 70's now and the high is 81
