    Bored at work

    A coworker just caught me playing DS instead of... not working? Another one asked me if I'm still awake. :ugh: I don't even know what would have made him think otherwise. I'm bored out of my mind, but not tired in the slightest. These guys need to throw a pile of crap to do on my desk so I...

    Spartan living, or, "How to budget for a Supra project"

    You've inspired me (that and looking at the $5.71 in my bank account) to finally set a budget. At least the $6 bucks is black this time. :D Good right up.

    Illegal Exhaust Ticket... Again.

    I agree that they should have to prove that I broke the law, and I should have fought it harder. However, having told the judge that it's quieter than the stock exhaust (which IIRC it actually is at certain points depending on throttle and RPM), and showing him that paper that states that the...

    Illegal Exhaust Ticket... Again.

    Unfortunate though it is. I'm ready to move back to PA and become Amish again. I'll be doing this I suppose once I get my car fixed. The Supra hasn't actually seen much road time since then, too busy with work to just replace the fuel pump. :runaway: I like the reference. I don't mind the...

    Bored at work

    Yep, and I've only been here since 1:00. I need my boss to get on the ball and feed me something to do.

    Ok Sears, WTF

    ^ Or what the safe was trying to knock-off. The chilli would provide much more realistic results. I was just waiting to read "scented" under the description.

    Illegal Exhaust Ticket... Again.

    So I went to court for this ticket this morning, and here's the results I got. $91 fee - $30 fine for the illegal exhaust, $51 court fee, $10 processing fee. I went into the courtroom, waited for days, finally got called to the stand and plead not guilty. I handed the judge a print off of from...

    I officially do not hate my iPhone anymore

    I've enjoyed mine ever since I jailbroke it and put a gameboy emulator on it. :D

    Twin Intakes on 1jz

    I think I've seen em floating around somewhere, I don't remember where. They've all been custom done though, probably for the reasons mentioned above.

    6/17-Car Accident-Rant

    This. Glad you're okay man. If you haven't already, make sure you all get in to see a doctor and make sure everything else is functioning properly. A chiropractor wouldn't be a bad idea. I see one regularly and I always hear of instances where the person in a wreck felt fine, then a few months...

    How stupid are some people?

    Don't Vdubs fall into the low and slow category? A kid I go to school with always bragged about how fast his Audi TT is. It saw less road time than my Supra cause he was always fixing it. Granted, he was using bolts from Home Depot to hold bushings in place.

    Dyno off a smarthphone

    I had the pocket dyno on my iPod Touch and it was wildly inaccurate. It told me my Nissan 200sx had 380hp and runs a 12.xx, while telling me my (old) Supra has 220hp and runs a high 13. The 1/4 time on the Supra may have been close, but everything else was way off. Still fun to toy around with...

    Lasik .... anyone ?

    Meh, my eyes aren't that bad to begin with. I think they're like 20/25, with my glasses it's slightly better than 20/20. I want to invent robotic eyes with zoom and auto-focus functions. :P

    Ridiculous, not rediculous.

    I saw this thread thinking it was some new forum game, not noticing the different spellings of ridiculous. I knew, but I also always would try to spell it rediculous either on my phone or in Chrome with it's auto spell check thing, so I've messed up before. :D I think it's the pronunciation...

    Lasik .... anyone ?

    This. I'm a huge pansy when it comes to my eyes. It's gotten better, but every time I go to the eye doctor I wimp out just with the little air gun he uses. This made me cry a little. :(

    The (old) Official Gun Thread.

    That's the other test we did. First time it ended up being right, next few times left, then it switched back. That's about how it is in PA I believe. Down here in VA, though, you have to take some form of a firearms safety class (I ended up taking what was essentially a 2 hour classroom plus...

    The (old) Official Gun Thread.

    We did both the tests lewis mentioned in my gun class, each one yielded opposite results. Then for the shooting portion of the course I would sit down, line up my sites and shoot fine, blink, then the sites are no where near lined up, without me having moved my head or the gun at all. It's the...

    The (old) Official Gun Thread.

    Completed the "First Steps Pistol" Course and I'm good to get my Concealed Carry permit in VA, hopefully I'll have that in a few weeks. Noticed something though. Turns out I can't aim a gun to save my life if I keep both eyes open. I blame this in part due to my paintball past where I would aim...

    Muthaf***in Theives GOT ME!!!!!

    You can't steal sound, man.. :rolleyes: To OP, sorry bout your loss. I had my ipod stolen a few years back from my driveway, while I was awake in my room. Oddly enough, they left the digital camera which was worth 3-4 times more than my ipod. I almost wonder if it was some older neighbors...
