    Falsely Accused DUI

    A friend of mine was pulled over a while back for not having mud flaps and the officer suspected he was drunk. He spent the evening in jail and despite all the tests coming up negative they still charged him with a DUI. It just made the news last week: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkSAcqA2SxM

    Pros/Cons of high pressure radiatior cap

    Is there any advantage/disadvantage to getting a higher pressure radiator cap? I was under the impression that a high pressure radiator cap would improve cooling performance, but after doing some searches it sounded like it might be harder on the engine. What would be the reason for this? I...

    White Supra in Corvallis

    There is a white pre-89 Supra parked on Jackson near where I live in Corvallis right now. Probably not anyone on here, but doesn't hurt to ask. :)

    Kinda kills

    I kinda sorta killed a Mustang Cobra and a Honda Prelude today. The Mustang Cobra was a 1999+ convertible. It looked pretty nice. Black, fog lights in the grill, hood scoop. I was behind him as he turned right onto a road that had two lanes that soon merged into one. He hesitated, as...

    Electric Impact Wrench

    So Harbor Freight is having a sale on "Chicago Electric Power Tools" brand electric impact wrenches rated for 240 ft-lbs for $39. I'm guessing this brand has poor quality and isn't worth the time or money, but anyone have experiences with them?

    My adventures in Tucson

    So my fiancee is going to start grad school at the University of Arizona next week, so last week/weekend I took [paid] time off work to help her move. We left Beaverton early on Thursday (August 9th) morning in two vehicles, my fiancee's parents driving the second one. We stopped in Stockton...

    Electric fans problem

    So my electric fans aren't coming on. I checked the fuse and it is fine. Flex-a-lite fans, SPAL fan controller. I'll be taking it in tomorrow morning if I can't get this figured out tonight. :(

    Supras spotted near Portland/Beaverton

    I was driving from Salem to Beaverton today and I saw three third gen Supras. I believe they were all 89+. The first was a white one on I-5 (southbound), the second was a red one driven by some lady on 217 (southbound), and the last was brown or dark blue (didn't get a good look) on 26...

    Post a picture of your desk

    I'm planning on getting a new computer desk setup when I move to Arizona in January, and I'm not sure what I like yet. I want space for three large LCD monitors, my receiver, CDs, and other miscellaneous things. I'm thinking maybe a U, L, or corner desk would be good. Anyway, post pictures...

    Thank goodness for coilovers!

    I just about got in an accident today. It was a 45 mph zone, two lanes both ways with a turn lane in the middle. I was in the left lane doing between 45 and 50 mph. This Corolla (or similar sized vehicle) turns from a parking lot into the right lane, no problem. The driver has been in the...

    Six Supras spotted today!

    So this afternoon I saw a MKII near Coburg road and Chad in Eugene. Then on Beltline I saw a blue pre-89 with spoiler, and then in downtown Eugene I saw another pre-89, maroon. After test driving the Volvo C70 convertible I saw Dylan (cwapface) at the dealership. I didn't recognize him...

    Played with a Boxster S

    So I just changed my oil on Wednesday and decided to take Leyla out for a spin. I took off the top and got some gas then went about aimlessly in Beaverton. First I followed a black WRX. The guy didn't seem to really want to play so I turned off. As soon as I turned a black Porsche Boxster...

    Drove an EOS today

    So I went out car shopping with my dad. First we stopped at the BMW dealership. My dad is a big BMW fan and has owned two BMW convertibles in the past. We wanted to test drive a 335i with the new retractable hardtop. Unfortunately they didn't have any in yet, but the salesman was really nice...

    Looking for Supra experts

    I have decided that a forum makes a poor format as a reference, as wading through all the posts to find relevant information can be a pain. Forums are designed for communication among a community, but not so much as an encyclopedia. In response to this I have created a Supra wiki. I am...
