  1. Yes, I shopping for a new car. What thoughts on the monte carlo?
  2. a dealer in my area has one up on ramps as display. the only I do not like is that it has daytona painted on the panels. I do not like that some mustangs have that painted on it too.. makes the car ugly imo
  3. is it bad choose for a daily driver in the snow belt ( chicago)? I never had rwd before
  4. Discuss... I think I like it.
  5. WTF are you talking about? remote controlled = rc. alot rc cars run on nitro and if your HPI SS got up to 50 mph it's not a battery ran car.
  6. "port and polish" the eng, sway bars, 25% nitro, adjust the gearing, racing air filter, slicks and a damn nice day and a big straight away and you can get past 50.
  7. lol this a waste. it's either the right or left cup and never the middle. s o if it was the left one the next time it's the right cup. I do like the titties though.
  8. My HPI SS does 85 mph (cops clocked it) and it's mostly stock.
  9. lol, I said a whole lot worse when I was in Iraq and getting shot at every five seconds.
  10. that anit Iraq and how do you figure she's a soldier? cr*p
  11. Like I said we drifted apart. mainly b/c I do not have the desire to party like she does anymore. So running into her or talking to her a couple times a month is not hanging around. Which is excatly why i offered her the ride home so something did not happen to her.
  12. Ok here's a little back background. There's this girl that I used to party with when I was waited tables and drank alot more. She's a party girl with a capital P ( only drinks but got ahh very friendly) and huge flirt.I know from a bar that was my after hours spot and then we'd go out when she was done usually with other people. More then a few times I was her dd and drove her home. Never EVER did I even think about taken advantage of her. Well, as jobs changed we drifted apart but saw each other out and about and talked every once in while by phone. Anyway, I ran into her tonight and she was reallly drunk and could barely put a compete sentence together. I asked where her sister was and she said at home. After talking to her and only getting I love you out her, I realized she need to go home like now. I asked if she need a ride home and this woman ( not her mom) was like no, she does not. So I was like ok, and told her to be careful and left. Now, I realize to this other woman, who does not know me, it would come across as I was going to take advantage of her but I tend to be protective of the girls I know so that was not my intent. I just wanted to see that she got home safe. So my question is would it be odd/ wrong to call and make sure she got home ok even though we do not see/talk to each other that much?
  13. a good printer?> I'm about to freaking office space mine. Piece of S*&^.
  14. it was only a matter of time. It's ugly. I have not bought anything from express since they changed it from structure.
  15. Front Wheel Drive. Many people are familiar with this setup. Most modern cars are front wheel drive. This means that the engine is turning the front wheels propel the vehicle. * This happens to be more efficient in terms of gas mileage. Shorter half-shafts coming out from the transaxle means less moving parts and less inertia and less weight, which means better mileage. * In terms of driving in snow or ice, the FWD vehicle can easily pull itself away from a stop sign or stop light. It will tend to pull itself straight and forward, even if you are turning the steering wheel. * In terms of stopping on snow or ice, this type of vehicle can be potentially dangerous. If you quickly let up on the gas pedal, the balance of the car shifts toward the front. The engine slows down, consequently engine braking slows the front wheels. Now, physics says that the faster turning wheels tend to move foward. Those would be the rear wheels at this point in time. This means that the vehicle will tend to fishtail. Trust me, I've done it. Not fun. * Not good for towing heavy trailers, especially in snow and ice. There is a high potential for jackknifing the vehicle with an attached trailer that does not have a seperate trailer brake system. * Most modern cars are FWD, and some of the small SUV's are FWD RWD Almost all of the older American cars were built with Rear Wheel Drive. It was in the early eighties that american builders were starting to produce some cars with front wheel drive. Most of the performance cars are rear wheel drive. The reason for this is that the front to back weight balance of the vehicle is more equal. * Gas mileage is lower due to more weight and more rotating mass (long driveshaft, seperate rear axle) * Better for towing heavy trailers * For pulling away from a stop sign on snow, this type of vehicle will tend to fishtail and spin wheels. You may need to correct steering angle and throttle to get moving straight. * For stopping on snow or ice, this vehicle will perform better than a FWD vehicle. If you let up on the gas pedal quickly, the engine braking will slow the rear wheels. This will tend to keep the vehicle in a straight line. (Note that if you brake, all bets are off.) * Most pickup trucks are RWD, along with some full size cars (ford crown vic), performance cars (bmw, some porche), larger trucks, busses. 4WD This type of vehicle usually is equipped with a switch or lever that will change it from rear-wheel drive to 4 wheel drive. What this switch does is engage the transfer case, which sends engine power to the front axle and the rear axle at the same time, and usually with the same power (50/50). * Worst gas milage if all other factors are the same. There is a weight penalty to having another axle, along with front/back friction losses when 4wd is engaged. * In terms of starting from a standstill, 4wd will perform very well. You generally can steer the vehicle while accelerating and go in the intended direcction. * In terms of stopping, enging braking will affect all 4 wheels. If some of the wheels are slipping, but some are not (say left wheels grip, right wheels slip), 4wd will have an advantage. The gripping wheels will keep the axles turning thus giving you some control of the vehicle. * Many pickup trucks are 4wd (chevy, ford, dodge, toyota), along with many SUV's (jeep, large and midsize suv's) AWD If a vehicle has All Wheel Drive, it means that the engine will be turning usually the back wheels, but when slippage is detected, it will automatically power all the wheels. Usually these vehicles don't have a switch or lever to engage them, with the exception of the large Chevy SUV's (Tahoe, Suburban). * Same weight penalty as 4wd, but slightly better gas milage, as the transfer case usually only sends the power to the rear (you don't have the frictional losses). * Very similar start performance of the 4wd vehicles, but it may take a second or two to transfer power to the front wheels. * Not quite as good for stopping as the front and rear axles are not locked together. * Generally more expensive than the other systems. * Vehicles with this include: some pickups (chevy), some small suv's (Honda CRV, Toyota RAV4), some large suv's (chevy tahoe, suburban), several european suv's (mercedes, bmw), a number of subaru's. As you can see, each one of the technologies has its benefits and disadvantages. Which one is the best? If you don't mind having to think about which mode to be in, 4wd controlled by a switch or lever is probably the best way to go. You have true front/back locking as well as just rwd. If you don't want to mess with anything and just want to drive, AWD is the way to go. It has most of the benefits of 4wd. If you don't live in a snowy/icy climate, FWD is just fine. If you want better performance from better front/back weight balance (among other benefits), RWD is the way.

  17. Ok, what's suck and blow?
  18. I'm out in Chicago. Guess there's different rules per state. Mid west is the same all over no cams in fitting rooms.
  19. In the fitting rooms? Naa, I'm a cop and use to work loss prevention for dept store. It's against the law in ILL, I can swear no cam's in the fitting rooms. outside yes, inside no. This guy had "nanny cams" set up and I would think if your a female you would care.
  20. How many of you ladies tan nude at a tanning salon? The reason why I ask is one the salons in my town just got raided and shut down b/c the owner had installed cams and had 100 plus nude women from there on his computer. We could not belive it. Is it really that common? These were nude on the tanning bed, not just changing if I included that we talking close to 300.
  21. She's a dumb slut, who has yet to have an intelligant thought. IF she has it died from being lonely in her air head. Her 5 mins are up. 2 people died and this slut get millions out of deal? Forget about that nasty hag.
  22. stop talking about my cousin like that. no, really stop.
  23. close too 2500 men died today 63 yrs ago. lets never forget them
