    So after the hell we gave Chris this weekend, what does that make me? :)

    Strange sound when accelerating.

    Altered thread title to something meaningful. "Meh" isn't really a good thread title. Read this: http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=19859

    My NA got called out by a geo metro...

    I'll bet it's this guy. Look at the mods!!! Spray paint on the radiator, that's how you know he'e serious. The air molecules slide over the paint instead of hitting the radiator. That's gotta be good for 12 hp!!! snicker...

    MA70 Supra driver vs. MA70 Supra driver

    A beautiful Supra is a beatiful Supra, regarless if it's a MKI through a MKIV. I say hi to any Supra owner who isn't driving something that is obviously a 100% piece of shit. Those cars I usually point at and say "Now that's a damned waste..."

    Comments on: Dealing with the "oldschool" guys

    Quality vs quantity. Remember the goal of the post. Attracting your most skilled members. I won't waste my time on a post with the subject of "Help me PLEASE!!!!1111", and I know a lot of others won't either. Added to that is that good titles add the ability for someone to find the post...

    Comments on: Dealing with the "oldschool" guys

    I will likely make it smaller. It's redundant in spots, but it's trying to hammer a point home so that even the most dense can get it... It's a difficult balance to maintain. I'll probably work on it this weekend. I spend this past weekend out in the woods target shooting with various...

    metal shavings in the radiator?

    I've seen stuff like this in a few different circumstances, but it's usually what the guys mentioned above. Somone has used Bars-Leaks or similar metallic based cooling system sealant on it or the water pump is falling apart. I'd lean a lot more towards the former. A cooling system flush...

    Do your own oil changes!

    I have a shop that does my tire changes for me. They put masking tape around the sockets to not scratch the wheel and they use a torque wrench to put the lugs on. Not the cheapest in town, but they do take care of my car. There are good shops out there, you just have to find them. I would...

    My fellow americans... (Warning: US Politics)

    But we have allowed the government to create a situation where it's possible to sit home on your ass and do so. And get a your rent paid. And get your food paid for. And get your healthcare paid for. It goes back to what a I said. The system rewards failure and punishes success. I'll give you...

    Are electric fans worth it?

    The turbo fan moves more air, but not a massive amount. I've know people who have done this in a pinch and have never had a problem. However, something to keep in mind is that's street driving. I'll tell you, as someone who spends time in the south at road course events, you learn quickly...

    Damn, that *is* that Rob's old car! The Cruzmsl? I've loved that car for years! Glad to see it's in the hands of someone who loves it.

    My fellow americans... (Warning: US Politics)

    First and foremost all this liberty I discuss applies to "consenting adults". Children don't enter into this. They can't legally buy drugs, even under a Libertarian government. By making all drug sales illegal, you have created a situation where only the bottom of the barrel lowlifes control...

    That's why we don't "enforce" a lurking period via the software. We want people to be able to get help when they need it. That's why I posted the thread. It's a "suggestion" on how to get help. :)

    Did you change email addresses recently? If so it kicks you back into "awaiting email confirmation" mode and you don't show up in the user list and can't post. Same thing happens here if you change your email addy.

    I searched the member list for Rakkasan and rakkasan, got back: "Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms." With vbulletin, the only way I ever find that someone isn't searchable in the member list is: 1. They aren't there. 2. They have been banned. I also searched SF...
