Yeah, once you are going, say at least 50 in D, I like to slam in it in the racing gear R, or better yet the passing gear P. It's crazy, be ready for the ride of your life if you try my technique!

I presume the R gear unlocks VTEC?

Yes! The VTEC is activated by shifting quickly into R.

Since I have an auto, how can I pretend to be in a fast and furious movie?

Awesome! Well, if you're not a super model like Tyrese, its going to be hard. Plus, I think that he drove a convertible eclipse, one of the fastest most powerful cars on the planet. And look at that in dash sceen, just wow.

So, my suggestion would be to make cool engine and car sounds, like in the movie, while driving. You will feel extra cool making the turbo blow off noise! Pswoosh! Yeah!

So I am a lazy driver as evidenced by me choosing the auto over the manual.

Would this be an adequate alternative to making the blow off pigeon flutter noise?

Thanks for the link! Those look super quality. I mean the metal work is fantastic! I believe they add 50hp each, which should transform your car into full Fast and furious mode! No need to pretend!

Sweet!

One more question if you don't mind, since you have been extremely helpful.

What can I do to the car to attract all the ladies? All I get are guys.. Would be cool if I were into them but unfortunately, I am not.

Good question, one I get asked alot actually.

Ladies hate heavy cars. One of the easiest ways to fix this, take out the passenger seat. Bonus points for all the interior. Lets move on to another way to make your car more appealing to ladies.

Ladies love car exhausts, raspy track non-compliant 105db rated fire spewing highway droning cans are a sure fire way to impress the ladies.

Ladies hate un-safe vehicles. Adding a 90 point roll cage will ensure she is a contortionist to get in. Even if she's not an actual contortionist, she will appreciate this mod. Also, welding the doors shut, dukes of hazard style, will guarantee they won't open during a crash.

And last but certainly not least. Bumper stickers. Wow, like a phone call to her heart, direct connection instantly!

Suggestions:
Honk if you like boobs!
My son beat up your honor student.
Ass, grass, or gas! No one rides free!

I always found the ladies flock to the Lava colour in droves and I have to beat them away with a stick. Not sure what sort of ugly, dumb, social outcast it would take for them to not be attract.... Oh wait. Ya girls don't like these cars there is nothing you can do.

But that will attract the gold diggers. :(

When they find out I have no gold to dig from, they will leave...

It's just diesel. What could go wrong?

Cole 10-12-2016 10:41 PM

Speaking of, I have my release dated for 20 Nov, so I get to have one last hurrah with the boys for Remembrance Day.

My only regrets are:
1) I never got qualified HLVW
2) I never got a jump course

I have considered this possibility. There are also some performance issues with some sub-optimized apps (namely, anything that uses the camera), so I could go either way on it.

On that list, the HTC - word is they did OK with it.

I would go Apple before Samsung, and I have no desire to sell everything I own to buy into a system that doesn't work right... but the hardware is nice, and the overall experience is good if you get along with it. But Apple probably won't happen unless everything else dies. I'd even take a Windows phone over an Apple, if that were an option. That's me though.

I currently have a Sony. Only manufacturer that I've never had issues with. My tablet is going strong, and the phone is great.

I'd also consider the new Pixel phones.

Motorola makes good devices, but unless they've left behind the funky screens, they give me headaches.

I personally own: HTC, Samsung, Sony, LG, Archos, Apple. I've spent a lot of time with devices from most manufacturers over the past few years.

HTC issues have mostly been battery related - the M7 bulge popped the screen out, the others had replaceable batteries. Not all the updates I'd like, and some bloatware frustrations. The Samsung is just unstable, and I can't ditch the crapware. I don't like the games they play with the newer devices either (the browser isn't what you think it is, for example...) LG has stopped letting me do certain things (like removing an email account which enforces a lockscreen policy... even though the account itself is dead) but is otherwise OK. No updates though. The Archos is just a curiosity, but never really failed. It was cheaply made. Still works though.

The Sony stuff is all getting updates, and continues to run cleanly and without issue. Also one of the first doing waterproof, but that's now more common (see Apple...)

Apple just frustrates me because of stupid shit. Like insisting on always showing capital letters on the keyboard for so long. Insisting you use their crap software to do anything (iTunes destroys my music collection...) and insisting you do everything through their software of choice... good luck just finding that picture you want without having to view every single image in the gallery. We've had some battery issues and some issues with screens popping loose. Updates mostly clean, great battery if you don't do all the apps that destroy battery life...

meh. I might have an opinion :)

Nope. See where it says MO chalked to the tailgate? That means the pod in the truck was gasoline not diesel.

While I assume everyone understands the sarcasm.... @Ralle109 the best tip is to not use the stock tires in winter, they are absolutely terrible. Even if there is no snow or ice on the road they still become as hard as hockey pucks under approx 40* F and impact just about every aspect of driving.

/end rant that has been stated too many times to count

There are plenty of good winter tire options available and personally I would ignore the cheap winter tires. Bridgestone Blizzaks or Michelin X-ice seem to be the most popular choices (I use blizzaks and love them) and proper winter tires make the car a blast to drive in the snow. Winter tires should also last you quite a few years so they aren't that expensive in the long run. Also a lot less expensive than hitting a snow bank or another car......

What I meant was, on the post, there should be a pic (from other site like photobucket), but it's not posting the pic. Member format it correctly, but not coming up.

Well, that section was easiest place to notice that pic isn't working. There might be other area that pics aren't working. I might copy those URL and post it here to see if it works or not.

ichitaka05 10-13-2016 12:58 PM

Let me see...

Edit
Hm... looks like a lot of em are from Photobucket, so I'm assuming Photobucket having an issue.

ichitaka05 10-13-2016 01:44 PM

My convo w last patron.
Me - "I can help next."
Teenager dude comes with up to the desk wearing earbuds blasting music I can clearly hear.
Me - "Hi, how can I help you?"
Dude - "Sup my N*****!!"
Me - "Excuse me?" While making weird face.
Dude - "Sup my N*****!!"
Me - "I'm not black, I'm Japanese."
Dude - "...well then, sup my J**!"
Me - "Are you Japanese?"
Dude - "No, I'm white."
Me - "Then I would recommend refraining from saying that word and other one... if you don't want to get beat the crap out of you."
Dude - "Sh!t man, why you gotta be racist!"
Me - "I don't think, you understand the meaning of 'racist'."
Dude - "Whatever dude! I know what racist means."
Me - "Sure you do, sure you do... anyways, how can I help you."
Dude - "I need to make an account here."
Me - "Do you have an ID?"
Dude - "Nah man. I don't want gov to know who I am."
Me - "Without an ID, I can't make an account."
Dude - "Why you gotta be like that?"
Me - "It's the policy and common sense."
Dude - "I wanna talk with your boss."
Me - "They're at the meeting and I'm currently the boss here... unless you wanna with til 1pm."
Dude - "Bullsh!t! You can't be 'DaBoss', you're not white. She should be DaBoss." Pointing at coworker.
Me - turn to my coworker "Hey, who is currently in charge here?"
Coworker - "You"
Me - "Thank you." turn to the dude "Next time you swear or make racist comment, you have to leave this building."
Dude - "Fuck you! You can't tell me what to do!"
Me - "Who said I have to? Look behinds you."
As he turned around, security smiled at him.
Security - "You have two options. 1, walk out calmly or 2, we have to force you to leave. Your choice."
He gave up, he walked away... except he flipped me off, which btw made me laugh out loud, which pissed him off more start swearing as he walked away. Which made security do extra work.

FYI, I don't work at some crazy place... but it's daily basis I get these kind of idiots.

Sorry for the long post, but had to share what I go through daily... some days hourly.
