Not anymore, but I still yell and people and grunt. It still scares these new devil doggies.


I don't socialize much with the kids, but I might know the car. FC or FD?

@jawn will tell you the same thing

That has always been the plan.

But waiting for accounts to be replenished before I set aside fun money for well.... fun.


In other news, I found out why/how my car have been getting pooped on for 2 weeks straight now - even when the car is parked under a car port.

These little asshole birds, looks like Finches, have been perching on the side mirrors and doing their business from there. I was cleaning the inside of the car when I heard something hit the window. Damn bird thought it could fly through the window, perched on side mirror, attempted to fly through window again, and went back on side mirror, then left a nice "fuck you" present for me.

Wish I had my phone on me, would've caught the whole thing in action. So I now have to fold in both my side mirrors when I'm home, keep wiping poop every couple of days, or find some other alternate measure. I'd rather deal with rock chips than bird poop.

Only happens when you own a lexus I used to have people all the time before I'd buy my coilovers "oh dude are you gonna lower it?" "Damn cool car but it's really high up huh."

Left my windows down in my old Silvia once and came back to a steamer on the trans tunnel. (stripped interior) Bird flew in, dropped a deuce and flew out. Little SOB.

I know the car is low enough. But when I had fun coloring jawn's car in orange, I fell in love.

Going less than an inch lower anyhoo.

Stupid question: would you guys classify an in-dash receiver as "auto parts" or "electronics"?

Trying to get rid of this receiver from my old car on craigslist.

Auto parts sub class electronics.
If I was looking for one I would look in auto.

Leave it. Stock is fine. Full suspension travel. Even I high-centered today over a damn gravel mound. I was inching over it to test but still -____-

But, if you insist on truly fucking up your suspension, yeah, go with some adjustable coilovers and just throw them on straight out of the box.

I know someone here that did that and then complained because the ride was too stiff.

Nope. Black holes are called that because their gravity is so intense that nothing can escape, even light photons. The event horizon ("Schwarzchild radius") is the point of no return; once you cross it you can't get out. Since we can't observe anything past the event horizon, we really don't know what's inside yet. Scientists suspect that there is a massively dense sphere of matter in the center. Nothing explodes however. It just continues to grow until it has consumed all of the nearby matter. At a certain point in the very distant future, they do eventually "evaporate" due to Hawking radiation.
