    Who else uses the steering wheel quick-tilt lever?

    I sometimes use it, It'd be more usefull if the column had a bit more spring to it when i wanted it to go up, but its a neat feature, and comes in handy every now and then.

    MBTI( Myers-Briggs Type Indicator )

    One other thing that I noticed about university engineers: they have almost zero real world application skills. Theyll design something on paper, throw it in cad, produce it.. then realize .. oh shit, theres no room to INSTALL IT BECAUSE THE REST OF THE PROJECT HAS NO MORE ROOM! UGH. When I...

    MBTI( Myers-Briggs Type Indicator )

    QFT! I spent a few years at college for MechEngineering, and like you, 95% of all my classmates were less than stand up people. TOTALLY lacking in social skills, hygene, etc etc etc. I'm ENTP, which is pretty dead on 56% extraverted and 50% thinky. Pretty good.

    Audio Noob. This is what I want, whats good?

    Okay, I'll do my best to answer your questions. First off, its 'Phoenix Gold' not Gold Phoenix ;) Are you set on getting (2) 12" subs? Because one single quality subwoofer will be PLENTY loud in our car, and allows you to use less room. Rockford Fosgate hasn't come out with anything that I'd...

    wireless internet.....

    you need to wire a computer into the router only to set up the router's settings. Once that is done you can leave the router unplugged from any ethernet cables to your computer(s), and use the wifi. Hope thats clear enough

    What keeps you from calling it quits?

    Nice seth, I used to wrench on star mazdas. I've also got a good buddy who's racing in the small ford powered indy cars (forget the name of the series right now- ford atlantic or the like. His name is Doug Smith). I miss open wheeled racing :(

    Carbon fiber speakers

    our cars use a 4" speaker, which while being fairly uncommon, isn't THAT rare. They probably are an aftermarket speaker. All 4" speakers ahve the same mounting brackets, so they're just a drop in replacement. And, since you said that they had a foam surround with no label, leads me to believe...

    So... Who likes math?

    I don't see where the problem in step 3 is. (a+b)(a-b) = b(a-b) = (2a)(0)=b(0) 0* anything is 0, so that step has no errors. On a side note, I love figuring out stuff like this, but I get so freaking frustrated with proofs cause I'm never right! DAMN YOU MATH! edit, and I still suck at...

    So... Who likes math?

    That cannot be true. If a + b = b, then A would have to equal zero. Which would mean that b equals zero. Well, in that case yes the whole thing works out. But it can only work if a=b=0

    So... Who likes math?

    exactly, everything is right except for those two. a+a=2a ; a+b=2b. thus, 2a=2a and a=a. Not that hard, and I got kicked out of my engineering program cause I can't do tripple integrals or differentiate!

    Oil change instructions for men and women

    I just figured out why! Its because the jiffy lube guys are so busy fucking things up, clanking around and forcing things to move that shouldn't move, that the cab of the car vibrates- and well, you know how lonely women like sitting on things that vibrate.

    Oil change instructions for men and women

    Thats great... except for one thing: Jiffy Lube does a shit job on oil changes. So much so that I'd say that going to jiffy lube is poor maintanence on your vehicle (well not really but you know what I'm speakin')
