    Interested in Reloading

    I've recently acquired my second .40 S&W handgun (A Glock 23 and an FNX-40 for those of you who are interested) and after shooting this morning my ammo case has seen a more serious hurting than ever before. I've flirted around with the idea of reloading before, but at this point I'm more...

    Finally got a 4Runner

    Hey SM, been a while. I doubt if anyone here really remembers, but if you scroll through my thread history you'd probably find a bunch of "Other car" threads where I intended to buy a piece of junk and build from it. Well, up until now I've been full of hot air. I've always like the third...

    Computer Help!

    Recently I tried installing Ubuntu 10.10 on my desktop that currently has W7. Somewhere along the lines of reformatting, I lost my ability to get online via Ethernet cable. Since this happened, I've tried running the Asus driver disk and installing all drivers, reformatting with W7, and I...

    BHG 4runner Edit: 96 Cherokee

    I found and emailed someone earlier today about a 1994 4runner with a blown head gasket. He posted it on craigslist for $700. I haven't heard back yet, but I'm wondering if there's anything in particular I should look for in this thing, or if I should avoid it entirely. Here's the link...

    Illegal Exhaust Ticket... Again.

    Different Supra, same results. I picked up an 88 in October with a full Apexi Titanium exhaust, and am just now getting pulled over. I'm impressed I made it this far, granted my other Supra was much louder with it's Megan muffler and God only knows what exhaust. Anyways, I'm thinking of...

    Why can't they ever take a cab?

    http://www.wset.com/news/stories/0310/713964.html You've all seen it a thousand times I'm sure. Mrs. Wommack was my best friend's stepmother, my doctor's mother, and my 8th grade Spanish teacher. Needless to say I knew her well. I know there's not much the Supramania community can do, but...

    Driving Blind

    Searched a bunch of terms and nothing. Also manual searched a few pages back and still nothing. Problem as it stands: Gauge cluster lights and interior lights do not work, Climate control lights only work when the headlights or parking lights are turned off (daytime), Cig lighter only works...

    Introducing the 'Oh Shit!" Bar

    So everyone with a Targa hates the shimmy, right? And various people have made braces to combat that. By now everyone's thinking weezlwings I'm sure. Well, as much as I'd love a weezlwing, they're not sold anymore. And if they were, they'd be more expensive than when they were first released I'm...

    S13, Hatch, 1jz-gte

    So I found a cute little 91 s13 hatch not too far away, good condition in every way minus a couple minor dents that I was told were left over by the spoiler, which it is currently without. Odd, but onwards. The car has peaked 175,000 miles on that Torque-y KA Monster, which I know is really just...

    "Illegal Exhaust" In Virginia

    So I finally got my frist ticket on the Supra after having owned it 3 years now. It's a noise violation. I was pulled over by a state cop and, luckily and surprisingly, he wasn't a jerk. I figure the reason I got pulled over now is cause it's the end of the month and they have to meet their...

    Starting Problems 101

    So I have this cool car, but it likes to play tricks on me.. It only starts when it wants to leave my house. Apparently anywhere else is just a more desirable location to it. The best way I can describe what it's been doing lately is the starter's just not getting any power to it. The battery...

    Dear God.... Horse Gore...? ***NWS*** (no boobs, sorry)

    So wasn't so sure where to put this, shun me if you must, but anyways.. Some of you may have for some reason felt the strange urge to google Deer Gore. Well, the first result would be that of a Paintball Forum, PbNAtion (don't believe me? Try it yourself, and enjoy the views). Anyways, now...

    Minivan vs. Honda

    Well I was thirsty, and both of my cars were boxed in. Minivan was the last in the driveway, so I grabbed the Valet Key (I know because it has "Valet Key" printed on the key), and took it out, heading up to CVS because it's the closest place that's open 24/7, and because they sell Arizona Tea...

    So I was bored...

    ...and boredom = sig. Opinions? Criticisms? Cookies? For the record, I asked that question to a few people, resulted in a few interesting responses.
