Came here to post cab-over/forward control pick-up vans... not leaving disappointed.

I spent a day with a group of these cars (and their owners) at a track day at Little Talladega over in Alabama a few years back. While no one would confuse one of these with an M3 they managed to get around the track quite well. Admittedly most were sporting upgraded suspension bits and a few were running forced…

In last year's Atlanta snopocolypse I was able to make it home just fine (relatively short communte, though) in my Nissan 350z. I did cut some doughnuts in the cul-de-sac when I got home in celebration.

I've seen the $1 referenced quite a bit as well - I know that Honda was trying to unload the program and the costs, overhead, etc - It would make sense that they might have sold it to him for way less than it was otherwise worth to unload the residual costs associated with an F1 team. At that point if they really…

No, I kind of wish it was now, though...

NOMINAL sum? It was 1 GBP, wasn't it?

agreed. And within the last couple of years Atlanta area voters (mostly the suburbs) voted against any additional funding to study and ease the issues. based on conversations lots of folks see it as a not my problem type deal even though they commute into and out of town every day. Makes zero sense.

Just read that the 04-05 was the first year for a factory turbo? I have always seen a bunch of the earlier models with the cold air induction inlet (?) in place of a turn signal and figured there had to have been a previously hotted up and/or forced induction lump from the factory. Is that just a common aftermarket…

For my last couple of cars I've found pdf versions of both owners and service manuals and downloaded them to my computer and also made them available on google drive so if I'm out someplace I can get to it pretty quickly.

Thank you for your reflection and thoughts on this (and your service). I've mentioned in other posts that my AP Literature students recently finished up The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien. I've offered your thoughts to them as further options to think and discuss - the idea of a war story and the lack of a…

Damn - I've never had much luck at any of them around me.

Yeah, it's not ideal but as a retro fit of sorts it's better than some of the alternatives. Probably wouldn't work well anywhere but for L/R/C channels.

saw the headline, came here to complain about soggy bread and under cooked fries, wrong place I guess.

if there wasn't a one year old to drop off at daycare I'd probably agree... And there's not really sidewalks for most of it.

I believe it was on crutchfield's site that I saw a bit of a cheat/hack if you were installing in wall speakers. Instead of trying to run the speaker wires across/through multiple studs put in a binding post wall plate (pretty cheap on monoprice) just above the floor molding in the cavity that lines up with where you…

The $40k figure is interesting... I have a 3 mile round trip drive to work. While I can't say that I feel that much happier, I've definitely saved a ton of money on gas, miles on my car, tires, etc. Oh, and sleeping in until 45 minutes before I have to be at work is pretty awesome, too. That still leaves me enough…

I skimmed an article on USAtoday last night and sent it to a buddy as a "haha he's crazy" joke - now it seems like either everyone is delusional, crazy, or there is some seriously weird shit going on.

Yeah, that doesn't look like a very effective option... seems pretty sloppy (and I know absolutely zero about this).

My wife bought an admittedly goofy chalk board with Sun-Sat listed that we hung on inside the pantry door. We plan our meals out in advance (including incorporating leftovers) which helps with shopping and sticking to the plan - without the plan we'd always end up "not feel like cooking tonight" and end up at out at…

I would consider myself a pretty full-blooded jalop and I didn't know about this about the gas gauge, yet my wife did. Now that I know about it though, I can't remember which way is which and screws me up more than it helps (and I recently found an example where it wasn't true).
