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

Left turns from right lanes.

 

Why.

I saw someone do that yesterday in front of a tractor trailer.

Maybe double wishbone suspension so it can handle?

Stupid question (or is it?), are those rare or something, or do they just hold their value very well? I mean, Volvos are built like tanks IIRC...

 

It's just that inline 5's are a dying breed and a gift from the gods at same time. And I wouldn't like to see it broken :P

Come Bloody Angel

Break off your chains

And look what I've found in the dirt.

 

Pale battered body

Seems she was struggling

Something is wrong with this world.

 

Fierce Bloody Angel

The blood is on your hands

Why did you come to this world?

 

Everybody turns to dust.

I am not familiar with that term.  Does that refer to shifting without disengaging the clutch?

 

Stick is fun (was deployed and all the vehicles where stick shift).  Lets just say, we had some fun with a Land Cruiser and a hill.  :P  Plus, all those dirt roads in the desert.

Though, darn thing stalled and battery lost cranking amps.  Go figure, I was the only one who knew how to pop clutch off first gear to fire up the engine (yeah, all the dudes felt bad that a gal knew how to do it that but not them).

 

When learning stick, just take the time to feel the gears out and learn how that specific vehicle shifts.

Say you're about to shift into 4th, but you shift into 2nd on accident.

Ah, I did that a few times while in Turkey by accident (darn Hyundai had layout on stick I was still not familiar with).  That is ruff on a transmission for sure.

Heh. If you don't disengage quick enough it might be worse for the engine than the actual transmission :P

Sense May 3rd i've used 136 gigs, that averages ~22.6 per month but we have potato intenet so i usually have wifi off. 

my cell data speed sucks more than my internet so i'd rather use that, and i try to stay off data for as long as possible, using school wifi whenever possible, but it's hard when they restrict snapchat and instagram use.

 

oh and i've downloaded my spotify lists so no data use.

Any who, coaxial cable showed up.  Waiting on one adapter to hook it to the 4G antenna.

So close now to dumping the satellite.  Can't wait to call them and say turn that crap off.

Pictures of the C10.  Yep, a lot of work to get it restored.  But the truck will look sweet if I can mange to do the rework.  First, get my Dad to pull it out so I can give a good look over and begin the cleaning.

My 2nd motorcycle now.  Can't wait to drive this, just need to get the tag.  Especially if I want to do the Christmas event poker runs.

Both motorcycles.  A little single cyl thumper (it is fun to ride).

School wifi is amazing. We get like 300 down and 200 up. Fucking amazing. On ethernet it's closer to 700 and 500.

 

and i'll post my data speeds later.

Here is my cell outside barely on three bars.  Major reason I going to setup an antenna to use it instead for my Internet (the ping alone a good darn reason)

No Codes as far as I know. Only regular VTS's and Cup's.

What do you all think of Mazda6s from 2005-2009? Any major issues? I see there were quite a few recalls issued mostly for air bags but otherwise good and sound mechanically as long as the previous owner took care of it in that regard and not too many surprises that it should have?

If I could find a Mazdaspeed6 I would consider that lol But I can only really find Mazda3s and Mazda6s of that era.

I kinda like the Mazda3s from then but there's more I like about the mazda6 as a whole from that time.

Any opunions? They sound good lol
