People taking advantage of good people.

And the mofos on the side of the highway. NO MONEY FO YOU.

There's stuff like this a lot where I'm at. Granted, walking through midtown you'll occasionally run into the beggar or whatnot. I used to carry cash all the time, but out of convenience I rarely carry it on me....so it kind of works out to avoid those types of situations.

Hell, I actually gave one of these guys a few bucks once, and then he proceeded to ask me for more because I apparently didn't give him enough to get what he needed......that pissed me off.

The hope is that the compressor might even generate positive torque and feed it back to the engine, but obviously efficiency is going to be low, but like 100W or something is better than -100W. I'm pretty sure if you just attach a vacuum cleaner (~500W pumping power after all losses?) to the wrong side of a compressor you can get like 10% of the energy back, with this "nozzle" it might improve to 20%. Under engine braking it might actually work pretty well, though a second idle air control valve might be a good idea since I don't think those valves allow much air through when fully open.

For some reason that sounds like getting something for nothing.

And I guess you guys have beggars on the highway? We don't have that problem here.

We have beggers who beg FROM THEIR CARS! They're in a big ass SUV. "Excuse me can you give me some money?"
"Excuse me can you help me"

They don't even get out of their cars. wtf.

Some of them even bring their kids and walk around parking lots. Its so pathetic! I yell at my bf everytime he gives them money. These fkers are LAZY.

ugh.

My friend calls them Pigeons. I think I'll start calling them Pigeons too.

There was an occasion where I gave a homeless guy $2. I went into the store to buy something. Came back out and the mofo was in a suit and drove a Mercedes. I was pretty pissed.

Some of these freaking beggers here are crazy greedy too! Some would ONLY ACCEPT $20. Nothing less.

Super pissed.

Interesting. I guess people get lazier out west. SMH Obviously you don't apply to that.

Ha, my friends do the same. We just call them birds.

"Be off little bird, be off." :happy0180:

I was getting very depressed this afternoon. Then realized I haven't ate much. Thank goodness for Funyuns for being there.

And this helped out too. Dude sounds a lot like Trent Reznor... hmmm..

Let me guess, they are on the highway during peak rush hour times to harass all the drivers stuck in traffic.

It's not, it's powered by the manifold vacuum on the outlet side.

I can't wait til you get some high paying financial math job.

I want to see a 'Busa MR-S first. This centri idea isn't doing it for me because I'm biased against them pretty hard. Full turbo > half turbo IMO.

Now TVS on the 'Busa motor is something that is on the way to awesome though...

Lol. I saw the guy throw back $5 to some guy because it was a $20. Iono what to think of these people and now that I look back at it I don't know why I got so upset.

Yea.

I was getting off the 5S Jamboree. For those who are in the OC you guys would know... what would happen to this guy.

For those who don't. Homeless people get jailed or kicked off somewhere (I'm not really sure where since I don't live in Irvine) once the police spot him. Lol
