Some of these stories are absurd. I love it.

Local politics are like Jerry Springer around here.

I got the rear airbags in, and i can't effing wait for the fronts. Saturday is going to be a long hard day, but I will get them in.

Check out the video: http://mattmosh.com/stuff/

They are way quicker than I thought, but I'm kicking myself for not getting the 12 gallon tank and a third compressor.

I had to reinstall flash, that was my only issue.

Other than that its faster, pretty much the same on the surface.

I gave up after the first corner. Screw that.

It'd take me a week to finish a lap.

So I got the Continental Kit installed, Silver leafed it, got some pinstriping done by the same guy.

So far I've mounted the air tank and compressors, and ran the wiring for the bags. Need some pics of that. Heres a few of the stripes/paint in progress.

I am highly offended by this sexist thread.

I'd hit em at the same time. But only because they are "famous".

I gave the PS3 demo a run this morning, in my five minutes I wasn't very impressed, I'm not expecting a sim, but I really cant stand drving without a wheel. Looked nice, seemed like it could be fun though.

For me its a rent and put some time in to see if I find it fun.

Yikes.

I pay $60/mo over here for basic coverage.

I pay $218 for three cars, but thats only because the Caddy has everything known to man on it.

Its absurd how much you guys pay over there.

Mine is MattxMosh.

I'm usually signed on, GTA4 is pretty much the only thing I am playing at the moment.

Wheres the firewall and not being dumb option?

I do run AVG once a month just to be safe, but its not constantly on. I really dont do anything that would land me a virus.

The pin striping is almost done, heres some shitty phone pics.

And the Continental kit is on too.

Tax Stimulus checks are awesome.

Id recommend just putting it on ebay.

I got mine for $50 at Circuit City because of a dented box....$65 seems a bit much, unless you are on the good end of the exchange rate I guess heh.

I got a before and after pictures that are better than the last post. Since its not at night.

Quote from P5YcHoM4N :

It is done over a long time frame, one colour at a time, and only small portions, talking months and even years at times, purely because the human body can only take so much pain, plus you're pushing poison into your body so it has to fight it (which is why many people get infections), so if you do too much it'll over power your body and kill you.

No.

It took 5 and a half hours.

Its plenty possible to pass out. I got dizzy as hell during that because I hadn't eaten in so long. I had to stop and eat. Its more likely if you never got one before and dont know what to expect.

Keep your blood sugar up, breath and try and keep your mind off it. Even though its a good kind of pain.

Here's something interesting. Its my latest tattoo. I got it in philly a couple weeks ago at the convention there. Won first place for tattoo of the day on friday, and will be in a couple magazines.

The guy who did it rules. His name is Jeff Paetzold.

Rally car driver for my first name, office gopher for my nickname and my full name is professional hippie.

I hate hippies.

Quote from thisnameistaken :

I have to say a friend of mine had one of those and I was insanely jealous. It's a stupid, stupid car but I can't help liking it. I say if you're going to drive a boat, you might as well do it properly. Kudos.

Thanks, heh. I'd have to agree. It is a stupid car but at the same time I love it. I need to unload the 'bird so I have some money to get this thing to lay frame.I decided last night I'm going to need 13s to get it lower. I found a nice airbag bolt in kit so no fabbing and welding brackets. I'm excited. Two compressors and an 8 gallon tank and I'll be able to lay frame on 3 wheels. it will be hilariously stupid and awesome ha.

New paint, new wheels, new sway bar< new rear springs. Looks much better than in this post.

Continental kit and silver leaf is coming soon. Air bags after that.

I was wondering what that smell was.

Quote from tristancliffe :

Coppermine and Gallery are crap in my opinion. Takes ages to upload the images, then you have to slowly go through and set up everything. In the time it took me to do one folder in Gallery I'd done the entire gallery AND uploaded it AND it looked better AND it's still quicker than the tedious monotony of Gallery.

Piclens looks nice, but I can't quite work out what it is! Is it a Firefox extension, or a local image organiser than will generate an html album, or what? The website is pretty crap and tells you nothing you need to know.

I've heard zenphoto was nice lightweight and quick, I've yet to try it though.

I also use dreamhost, but I dont really have any problems with the quickness of uploading images in Gallery. I just personally hate it. Coppermine is alright, buts much better when its buried in something else and not a main function.

Planes' forward force (lift) comes from the engine pushing against surrounding air.
Planes' upward force (lift) comes from wings passing through the same air.
Planes' rearward force (drag) comes from air resistance and the friction of wheel bearings on the runway.

The engine pulls the plane forward, as its' thrust is far greater than drag.
The wheels contribute to the drag when it's on the ground - doubly so because they're turning twice as fast as normal,
since the runway matches the plane's speed in the negative direction -
but they're on bearings, so it's still a tiny amount, much less than air resistance as the plane's speed builds.
(Note: The original problem does not factor in wheel bearing resistance)

As the plane's forward speed builds (thrust > drag = acceleration),
the wings move through the air faster, and lift increases,
and eventually equals and surpasses the weight of the aircraft.

Takeoff.


Every forum this damn thing pops up.

I'll be going with silly faces, as it is April tradition (Pete and I started the first avatar month with silly faces back in April '06). I think these are the best (worst?) two I've taken so far:

(I should probably edit out the light)

Silly faces is what I'm going with, its hard not to find a picture of me that way.

Quote from Stang70Fastback :

You obviously haven't seen too much. Look at any development that was built within the last 10-15 years. All the houses are crap. Period. There is no argument. Older houses maybe, and custom-built houses are fine, but ALL the new developments going up now - which account for a very large percentage of homes in many areas are utter crap.

Yeah, in High School, during the summers, I'd frame. Drunk.

Don't buy new houses in the US. I'd never buy one. I like my old sturdy late 1800s victorian.

Even with its bad wiring, and warped floors. At least I know it wont fall down.

Quote from The Moose :

Frankly I'm surprised that you're surprised.

I don't know where you've been all your life, but if you haven't worked out that the planet (especially a certain part of the planet) if full of complete idiots then you need to open your eyes a little

And the problem is.....people seem to be getting more stupid as the years roll bye. Human intelligence is de-evolving as far as i can tell.

I blame modern science for keeping the idiots alive.

If it weren't for the internet, nobody but the locals would have heard of this, so nobody would know how truly stupid this man is.

Or smart.... I need to install a dish

Quote from Hankstar :

Unless of course your burglar brought something bigger, with bullets in it

It'd really do no good at all. Its locked up at the other end of the house from where we sleep anyway, hah.
