I had put a tank of 100 in before the dyno, and refueled with 93 before the dyno. I dont think the 100 was completely out of the tank at the time. Now ive gone through a full tank of 93 and just refueled with same, so hopefully the run im about to do will be better

Nissan has said no Silvia replacement since the Recession ended. I remember after they floated the FWD sporty car idea they put out a press release teasing about reducing the size, weight, and even engine displacement on the Fairlady Z.

...but other than ending game concept was unique. Wish few things to be fixed, but it's worth buying (if it's on discount & not full price)

I love the Mgs games but this one just seems weird, I don't know. I'll buy it when it eventually hits the 29.99 or lower mark

So this was the second Saturday I tried practicing bending freekicks at my school's rec center, and this little beauty came off of my foot:

[ame="http://youtu.be/1ikn_SlH2g0"]http://youtu.be/1ikn_SlH2g0[/ame]

Pretty sweet for only 2 Saturdays of practice

Oh BTW that whole slo mo thing wasn't editing, time literally slowed down and everything went black and white, the ball's spin was that epic.

wrxgoose · 02-24-2013, 04:04 AM

some days, i look at the posts i've made the night before and think: "what the hell was i thinking when i typed that? damned fingers, just keep typing stupid shit that i should have thought out before i typed it, but didn't"

that kinda shit gets me in trouble with ashe too. lots of talking THEN thinking

NickD · 02-24-2013, 08:53 AM

I need to stop procrastinating and sell my 240. The extra cash would be nice, I think I'd quit my job and take a month off.lol

Yeah not bad.

Learning to curve shots with full control is one of the hardest things to master. That's why I put FK's or PK's as my top priorities when I'm training. The real challenge, in my opinion, is to try to put a lot of velocity into a shot, but just enough for the ball to curve directly into the target that was intended for without it sailing far off. Sometimes I get lucky when I try that and other times I'm just like fuuu.... lol.

Simple stand alone shot are easy and the best way to start off. Just don't forget to mix it up (shot selection) and keep your eye on the target.

:Word:

I skipped a concert last night cause of snow. I regret it so much right now because it wasn't as bad as I or others thought the snow conditions would have been.
