    Speedo Question

    Factory speedometers are notoriously inaccurate as you get to higher and higher speeds. When you are operating outside the marked range it would be hard to say with any degree of accuracy. Really freakin' fast would probably a good statement. :)

    I know I said I was out of this thread, but I get the feeling that's not going to be possible. I feel LouKY has misinterpreted what I wrote, so I wish to clarify. I don't believe your god exists. I have no rage against a being I discard as fictious. As for my feelings towards christians in...

    I've already told you I'm done with this conversation, however I will answer this one question. The simple answer is the rational thoughts of free men. Fortunately for us we live in a country where those rational thoughts produced a Constitution. A document that guarantees anyone the...

    T06 turbo

    I agree, the "T04b ar.60 turbo charger" refers to the cold side A/R. The hot side is likely over 1.0 and would be a lag monster. This is likley just like most e-Bay turbos with diesel sized exhaust housings...

    what does 70mph, rain, and a wall get you?

    Actually it's the getting tagged in the ass by a tractor trailer that causes the emotional damage. I can't think of too many other things that would be more terrifying behind the wheel. I'll bet trucks scare you now and it's difficult for you to drive near them.

    Well so much for this thread. I wanted to discuss rational politics, instead I got rabid fundamentalism... It's obvious that there can be no intellignet debate or discussion when one side accepts "because god said so" as the "fact" that all their positions proceed from. In other words, I...

    Let's forget pcp and discuss the legal drug alchohol and how we handle that. Let's paraphrase your questions. If one person in a house getting drunk minding his own business is ok, what about the guy who goes out and drives? Should we make alchohol illegal? As a matter of fact, if we make the...

    Negative. I am my own god. I don't steal. I don't murder. And I don't need some 2000 year old work of fiction to tell me so. I am a functioning human being. And as long as this basic disagreement exists between the two of us, there can be no rational discussion. You postulate an invisible man in...

    And here's example of your love of freedom? You will impose a specific religion's beliefs as law? You'd make acts between consenting adults illegal since it violates YOUR religion? I hate to tell you, but not everyone believes what you do. Amendment I "Congress shall make no law...
