    When you are thinking about upgrading...

    What Crutchfield looks at, one of the primary problems with some 3.5"s, is the tweeter sticks up. (Tweeter protrusion measurement). If you mounted a 3.5 in the stock location, the dash panel is nearly level. Anything sticking up higher than the top of the speaker surrounds would hit the dash...

    Ethanol blends up to 15 percent

    The people who want you to junk your 20 year old car and bail out the automakers by buying new stuff. Brought to you by the inventor of cash for clunkers.....!?! Kinda like forced computer upgrades. "Sorry, but we don't support your antiquated platform anymore, you'll just have to buy a new...

    Don't watch if you are afraid of heights.

    Maybe its the bit of adrenaline junkie in me, but I'd do it. Up, at least. Down, I'm not so sure of. Not to mention dragging that 30 LB bag of stuff up with you. 30 LBs could easily get caught up in something, start shifting your center of balance, or all sorts of nasty things. I remember...

    Got a Free Police Scanner app for my droid

    Just DL'd it to my Droid. Works pretty good. I have a base scanner in the house, plus I've been listening to the non-locals online on that website.

    Top driving annoyances

    Tail gating idiots.... Who are on your tailpipe when you're doing 5-10 over the limit already. If you are driving on back roads, and 5-10 over isn't gonna get you to work on time, shoulda left earlier you moron! People who assume that since I drive a Buick, I'm automatically going to hold up...

    Gn's @ lebanon valley dragway??????

    Any more info on a date/time? Working for this new company that bought us out, I have nothing for vacation or personal time for a few months now. Heck, a lot of us are still in a probationary period with them. So I have to give a lot of notice to my super if I'm goin anywhere. And its...

    New Buick Regal (Turbo)......affect?

    I normally don't read MT, but I bought that issue yesterday. Notice the nod to the GNX at the back? I don't think anything will change. It might make a nice daily driver, but its not like it would take away from people considering buying a GN or T. The new Regal is just a rebaged Opel. Its...

    Gn's @ lebanon valley dragway??????

    I wish my T was race ready. Heck, its not even street ready. Its gonna be in restoration jail for a long long time. So, any limits as far as other cars? I mean, if we wanna run our DD just for the fun of it, can we? I'll take the LeSabre down the track. Its not my T, but it might satisfy...

    New AT&T phone, I-Phone 3GS, or BB Curve?

    Funny you guys mention the BackFlip. I'm typing on one right now. Got it Monday, first day released, and its freaking awesome. Its definitely an Apple fighter. The android OS is nice. Lots of good apps, and I can't wait for us to get 3G here for it to really fly. Even is slated to support flash...

    New AT&T phone, I-Phone 3GS, or BB Curve?

    I know it doesn't have 3G. We don't have 3G coverage yet here. The sales rep did say by mid summer or so we should see it. He didn't have the 9700 (?) in stock, so I took this one, knowing I could exchange it within 30 days. I wanted to see what the possibilities were with a BB, since we don't...

    New AT&T phone, I-Phone 3GS, or BB Curve?

    AT&T customers step inside. I am looking into a smart phone, or upscale phone through AT&T. Right now, I am taking a trial run of a Blackberry Curve 8520. Initially, I was considering the I-Phone 3GS. The voice dial was a must have. The salesman pretty much had me sold on the BB...

    HP Tuners on an NA 3800?

    Looking into the HP Tuners software, mainly for my 04 LeSabre. No top swap (yet). Just a pretty dead stock car, motor-wise. My main interest is in the VCM scanner. I have been looking for a scanner that will show data in real time, read raw sensor data, and look at the majority of sensor...

    Do you feel Police officer PROFILE cars?

    I've been told on occasion, for BS tickets.. "You drive a nice car, you can afford it". Right from the officer's mouth verbatim. :confused: I've been told this a few times now. Twice way back when my Cruiser was new, and again with my Regal at least once or twice. Like I've said in...

    Your best pick up line...rattle em off

    Nice, I'll have to remember that first one. Not that its gonna get ME anywhere, but hey, its different! That last one.. :eek: Slap deserved! I've actually seen one of my female friends slap a guy over a line something like that. Then I promptly get up and tell the guy to get lost or that...

    Your best pick up line...rattle em off

    "I play the drums. I'm pretty handy " (As I hold out and stretch out my huge right paw as long as it will go.....) :biggrin: Actually when I played in regular bar bands, I didn't even need lines.. being the drummer in a bar band is like being pre-approved for credit! :cool:

    English

    Gotta admit to that. English does look crazy to others. But learning Spanish/French/Italian isn't so easy either. Each sentence is constructed around a noun which takes on an either male or female form, when in reality buildings, cars, and inanimate objects have neither male nor female...
