    The $2145.00 lesson!

    I didn't read the whole thread so somebody might have suggested this, but get a lawyer and go to court! I work with a woman who got a really bad ticket for doing 85 in a construction zone with a 45 mph limit. She paid no fines and only $50 for the lawyer. Keep in mind this was for speeding...

    POS Phishing F'k Got Me...

    Point taken, Joel. My wife said pretty much the same thing, and I've had a night's sleep to cool off. This whole thing has really pissed me off, though. I was only letting Blizzard know something happened and was trying to ask for their cooperation. I was expecting at least some...

    POS Phishing F'k Got Me...

    So this is the response from Blizzard: "Hello Kurt, If the police department would like more information regarding these purchases then they will need to contact us directly and request the information with the proper legal documents. Sincerely, Laura Billing and Account...

    POS Phishing F'k Got Me...

    Unbelievable. I CANNOT believe such stupid shit could be worth jail time, but if that's what gets you off... Thanks for the input. I sent Blizzard an email earlier today and have been looking for a little time to call. I will bring up your thoughts and see what they can do.

    POS Phishing F'k Got Me...

    BTW, the idiot bought upgrades for "World of Warcraft", and his character name is "Izisa". I don't know a thing about the game, but there were references to Icecrown Alliance. If anybody plays this game and sees his character, feel free to fuck with him. Any chance of coming across a player...

    POS Phishing F'k Got Me...

    That's why I posted the thread - as a warning for anybody who thinks they are careful and know how to manage their information. This just showed how easy it is to slip up and how much crap you have to go through once you do.

    POS Phishing F'k Got Me...

    Oh yeah, I've talked to everybody - banks, paypal, cops, equifax. The tricky thing about this one is that it was sent after I completed an auction, so I didn't think twice about using the link. I actually was lucky enough to have $870 in charges reversed because I beat the transactions to the...

    POS Phishing F'k Got Me...

    Hard to say, but most likely when I completed a purchase on ebay, I got a false email confirmation of the purchase from the reprobate. Instead of going to paypal by entering the URL myself, I think I might have linked from the phishing email confirmation which would've brought me to a paypal...

    POS Phishing F'k Got Me...

    So it looks like I might fallen for way-too-good phishing attempt and got taken for $1,100 on Friday. I am always really careful and warn my family about the dangers, but let your gaurd down for one minute and they are just waiting to pounce. Some pimply-assed shit, probably living in his...

    The Dreaded BHG pictures!

    Wow, is that amount of carbon normal? How many miles do you guys have on those engines? The guy who owned my car last did a JDM swap maybe 4,000 miles ago, and to be honest I doubted the miles on the engine could be as low as 35 or 40K because of the condition of wires, hoses, crap in my...

    needed someone to talk to ( in a sense)

    For what it's worth, I think there's every reason to have him checked on sooner than later. Multiple posts getting more serious each time, and no response in over 12 hours... I don't think there's much of a chance of "over reacting" at this point. If somebody has the means to stop by or...

    needed someone to talk to ( in a sense)

    Please take this seriously. I worked several years on a suicide/crisis hotline and never lost a client, even though some had a plan, made arrangements, and had the means to end it right in front of them. One thing I can say for sure: You only posted this because there is a part of you that...

    Is this a BHG? (videos inside)

    Mine hangs in my garage too. Like a trophy. :bigthumb:

    Don't be this stupid!

    Somebody needs to submit this to Myth Busters. Or better yet, try it for yourself with the next car you're ready to scrap or donate.

    Fix My Ebay Intake Screw Up

    Thanks 935 - Point taken. I'm well known for being a cheap ass. The upside of that is that I've learned how to do things like frame walls, plumb a new bathroom, build a stone masonry wall and even fix a broken Supra, which means I can afford to own one. :bigthumb: Downside can be situations...

    Fix My Ebay Intake Screw Up

    So I got my Apexi 500-A021 replacement intake today after buying from Ebay. Seems I bought/got a universal replacement filter, when I needed the 507-T001 model, and this "universal" intake won't bolt on. Whether I didn't do my homework or the seller screwed up doesn't matter now, since the...

    Things I don't like about Supras

    A 3 - 4 Foot extension? I took a quick look, and I'm not sure just where to come in from, but that was looking from the top. If I can get it done in 20 minutes, I will try just about anything. Thanks :icon_bigg

    Things I don't like about Supras

    ...and nobody's mentioned the starter?!:aigo: There was really no better layout than to hide the back bolt in a tight place? Maybe I've missed something, but I'm still scratching my head on how that's coming out so I can tackle my KS rewire. Also, Coil pack location, head bolts, and cup...

    Boost Spike / Codes 21 & 52 Too Many Possibilities! Help!

    Boost problem solved! The hose to the WG actuator had blown near one of the nipples. It's a pretty tight and twisted in there and I think the sharp turn just past the nipple put some extra pressure on the hose. O2 sensor is cheap, so I'm going to get rid of Code 21 next. Still need to...

    Boost Spike / Codes 21 & 52 Too Many Possibilities! Help!

    Thanks Bishop. I'm on my way outside now. Just to keep things moving along, I have a couple of quick questions: There is a KS on the drivers side of the cylinder head, below the valve cover, right? And is that the only one? Also, I do have regulated air, but where exactly do you pressurize...
