    Global Warming is over. (Really, it is. No joke.)

    This isn't the same situation. These are photos of land development for use in farming (of the food variety) expansion by cities, new roads, etc. These may very well be destroying portions of the rainforest. I'm referring specifically to logging, as this is the only subject I'm very well...

    Global Warming is over. (Really, it is. No joke.)

    Dude - I'm dead serious. They not only produce as much as the cut down, it's an exact science - they start with an empty field, plant trees on it, wait until they are big, and then cut them down. Tree farmers do the same thing all over the world - it just happens to look uglier in South...

    Global Warming is over. (Really, it is. No joke.)

    Dead, have you been to the rain forest? I have. Do you know what tree farms are? I do, and Greenpeace does, but they don't care. Pictures like that are misleading. I can't speak to those in particular, because I don't know their history - but I know that Greenpeace has taken similar photos...

    Discouraged....

    The miss is likely a wire, plug, coil, or igniter. :) Change plans for the Supra - turn it into a reliable source of transportation rather than a street rocket. You can always change your mind when the kid goes to school and you stop having to fund daycare.

    Don't you hate probe owners?

    Internet warriors do the strangest things... or at least, they CLAIM to. :)

    Global Warming is over. (Really, it is. No joke.)

    I think I'm with Brewster on this one. There is absolutely some truth to what Adjuster points out. You cannot trust information from people who want money from you. My real life example is greenpeace. These people are outright crooks! They like to make money off practices that they know...

    shipping?

    Great idea - as long as you aren't shipping to Canada. With the exception of air shipping, I guess. UPS to here is ok if it's air. Costs the same in the end, and you get your stuff much faster.

    want to shave my wastegate helpp

    BUT FIRST!!! Make sure that all upkeep is up to date. I'm talking the works here - good oil, coolant flush, replace all the rubber hoses in your engine bay, check all your gaskets, fix any leaks of any type - do all the basic maintenance. Next, do not shim the wastegate until you upgrade your...

    Fastest car oyuve beat and loss to

    Hrm... I've beaten a few vettes, a few camaros... a porsche 911. Lost to a lifted 4x4 turbo diesel pickup at PIR in the summer. Lost to a stripped down Civic with a turbo on it two years ago as well. Basically, if it's a stock vehicle off the lot, they are pretty easy. There are exceptions...

    Don't you hate probe owners?

    ROFL - Jeff, that was priceless. Reminds me of the original Three Musketeers - well done!

    Don't you hate probe owners?

    Hey, I drove a probe for several years. Nice car, worked well during the 4 years that I owned it. It wasn't even comparable to my Supra in terms of power, of course, but it handled rather well, with the caveat that it's subject to some wicked torque steer.
