    Turnbull Canyon Road

    Umm If you're coming from LA area you can take the 10 or the 60 to the 605. Exit Beverly blvd and follow it straight up about a mile or so. Fun little backroad.

    Turnbull Canyon Road

    Hey is there anyone around southern california who know's of this road? I MAY have posted this elsewhere... Anyways, I take my daily driver Neon up there every now and then and (gas prices allowing) would love to see how good (or bad) it stacks up to a Mark3 since mine doesn't well, run. My Neon...

    Odd things that happen at your job.....

    Man that's some funny stuff... weirdest thing I hever had happen was a guy standing up in the middle of the room ( I work at a pool-hall) and start yammering on about his religion and how he was saved. Sure I'm religious.. but invading on other people's time in a private business? Please leave...

    are all civic owners stupid

    You might be biased.. you own one... Of course all that power needs to be earned (read: paid for) as it does with any car. Stock can be lacking, but the MK3 does have a good amount of power-making potential, almost as much as the basic 350SB which is saying alot. A friend of mine does custom...

    are all civic owners stupid

    My friend has beaten my daily driver NA Neon and my brothers PT Turbo (I can;t launch that thing) with his (really) Turbo Civic. It only boosts 5 psi and has the same size turbo as a SRT4. However, he never CLAIMS it to be fast. He really thinks it's slow. My Neon is just, well, slower. His...

    I come from Cerritos. Kind of between Long Beach and Anaheim. My Supra doesn't run.. yet.. Sometimes I visit the SRT-4 meet around the towne center, but it's been awhile since that went on. The Scion "meet" and some Honda people usually meet around this area weekly, so I wouldn't suggest a...

    Tolerance

    Yeah everytime I argue with my buddy about why one company does one thing this way or another I always say it boils down to money. Interesting thing to note, according to one of my professors, the Average Japanese auto-company CEO makes less than 1 million per year. Still in Japan, that's alot...

    Tolerance

    It's been awhile since I've been here. My Supra still progresses slowly (as in it doesn't). No this post is not about race. This is about engineering tolerances. I recently had a discussion with a friend of mine about some of the main reasons why GM can't compete in the current market in terms...

    Ricers?

    Sooo.... I could then use one of these to maybe shovel snow? Yeah, a bit of bad sarcasm. While that particular style is disgusting to me personally, to each their own, and I can't say that I am shocked. There was a rumor going around that I could never verify, even when I asked the old Japanese...

    How are guns different than fast cars?

    I had a whole essay that I just erased in favor of this: Please clear up the first sentence. And Guns are different than cars because of the roles they play in our lives, if any. Regular cars: multi-tasking. Can commute, some can tow, haul people, groceries etc. Fast Cars (not race): most can...

    Attempted Theft

    I was at my friend's house which is generally known as a good neighborhood. Not great, but crime occurance is low. I guess this was just one of those times. When I realized what had happened, this guy comes out with brass knuckles and a metal baseball bat. He's got an aired up S-10 with a full...

    Gross misuse of the apostrophe ( ' )...possibly humorous

    Definitely right about the language changing. Words like "cunt" and "cocksucker" have made it into the Webster's dictionary. 5 years ago, they were merely a lesser form of profanity. However, America's attitude towards education has increasingly become more towards getting the number of people...

    Attempted Theft

    Well, the fact that my RKE system in my daily driver Neon is non-operational probably didn't help that my car was broken into. The thief tried what looked like a quick robbery but failed to do so. Door was still locked, and glass was all over the seat so he probably leaned in and tried to grab...

    Umm.. What do I do now?

    Took out the lock cylinder, got a couple of new keys made at Power Toyota, $10, Now I have the key code so I will never have to remove the cylinder again, got the car towed back to my house to it's rightful place in the garage, I love my AAA membership, still looking for the titles, need to deal...

    Umm.. What do I do now?

    Well I tried my friend's key from his 89 and no luck. I went to the dealer today and they looked up the code but had no luck finding that either. I called toyota directly and same thing. Looks like I will have to get AAA to open up the car tha hard way and take apart the passenger door to get a...

    Umm.. What do I do now?

    Well I gave the dealer a call earlier today and the guy said it would cost $5 to look it up. He said my 89 SHOULD come up but he wasn't sure. Just bring in registration and/or title and driver's license. Since it has no registration anymore, I need to bring my title... which is also conveniently...

    Umm.. What do I do now?

    Kinda hard to do, the cylinder head is at my house. But yes the car is locked, no there isn't a battery in it, it's just been in storage for quite sometime. I will try calling a locksmith and if that fails, monday I'll call the dealer. Thanks. In the meantime, a friend of mine also has an 89...
