Yup, cars accelerate when you press the throttle while cruise control is enabled. Every car I have driven has done that from the 1986 Chevy station wagon my father had when I started driving to the 2006 Mazda I have.
This long, I'll say... Everyone else has been doing that for 30 years
See avatar on left.....
I've strayed away from hockey lately, just don't bother to turn the TV on. Then March Madness came and I got sucked into that because my daughter now plays basketball. Last night was the first time I turned the hockey game on in a long while. It's been so long I was surprised last night that the Pens achieved home ice for the first round. I had no idea how the standings were.
Right there is the whole point. 99% of the people out there can't do that. They can't concentrate on listening to the phone through the tiny little speaker smashed up against their ear and concentrate on the road fully. Thus, they concentrate on the phone and make driving secondary. It's easy to pay little concentration and keep the car in the lane. When something unexpected happens though, they never see it because of how little concentration is being put on the driving part.
Not that I even have a phone capable of talking on in the car (prepaid junk with never any minutes on it) but I can't talk on the phone in the car. Why? It is because I find myself the exact opposite. I put very little concentration on listening to the phone because I am driving, thus I am constantly asking them to repeat what they said because I didn't hear it. Driving is primary, phone is secondary as opposed to what I see 99% of the time in that the phone is primary and driving is secondary.
Exactly. How are parents suppose to stand around oblivious to their surroundings yaking on their phones while holding said 1 year old's hand like the old days?
Don't know how it is elsewhere, but around me, parents don't pay any attention to their own kids. It is sad. Kids are running around stores knocking things over, breaking things, getting in the way of everyone while mom blindly walks around yaking on her phone. My wife sees it every day working in retail with hundreds of mothers and their kids coming into the store shopping.
Me, we didn't take a step unless daughter's hand was firmly gripped in mine. Pretty simple, but others seem to think either you let them run around everywhere or you put them on a leash like an animal. Either way, you don't have to pay attention to them.
Why some people have kids is beyond me if they are such a chore for them to take care of...
Here you go Dustin, since you say you can't see the other one....

Not proof, where does it state "20 year old female" at?
You know what they say, camera doesn't matter, it's the eye behind the camera. Don does quite nice photos with that $100 P&S I'd have to say, LOL.
I agree. The point of the eyelids is to show the headlights with different lines and shape, but what they really do is to draw the eye directly to the actual eyelids themselves for me. I don't like them.
Or worse, tire blowout - spin into grass - dead tire digs into grass sending blades of grass careening into the car and poking an eye out....
Well, with how much driving he does, he probably is superior.
30,000 miles in 2 months? That's 500 miles per day for 60 days straight! At average 60 mph, he drove for 8 hours every single day for 60 days.
That's a lot of driving, a LOT of driving. I'm picking my feet up now because it's getting deep around here....
You've gotta eat through tires on that thing then. I can't go full throttle in 1st. Either the car doesn't go anywhere once I get past 2500 rpm because of the TC (which the tires still spin) or the car just sits and lights the tires up without the TC.
It's 2nd gear that I give it the go juice. Even then, the tires will start to spin when I reach above 2500 rpm half the time. They are pretty dang sticky tires too. I don't know how it will keep from spinning when I finally get some reasonably priced tires that will go in the rain.
Finally found the 2 stupid little roads in the city near the airport that I looked at 100 times. Neither road could be seen on my television (360 and very old TV) and I finally happened to get the cursor in the right spot to see it change to the red circle.
Still playing this game?
I just spent an hour or so scouring Ibiza 2 stuck at 99%. I'm missing 1 of the wrecks and can't find any spot that was missed as far as the 1% road the game says I'm missing.

Looks like standard height and stock tire size to me. Yes, that truck is around the general time of the transition from 4X4 4wheeling to soccer mom vehicle, hence the independent front suspension.
I just have a cheapie, Cort G200 Strat copy and cheap $100 amp to noodle around on. Can't seem to find the actual picture of my guitar. Can't remember where I uploaded it to, so here are some photos when I was playing around with the camera.
I went to see Kev play his bass and snapped this. Thought you were more my age, Kev.

Funny how it works out, the cat I definitely like the color better. Seems the cat gets lost in the image when B&W, yet the truck is better B&W and really stands out from the processing.
Both great shots.

My vehicle was broken into a long time ago and I got to sit in the front seat while filling out a police report. All I remember is the little placard on the dash that said....
It's a good thing to know

According to my 7 and 10 year old girls, that's pretty much spot on. They both say, "Eeewww, he sings like a girl!"
Going through their little teenie bopper magazines and finding the posters of Justin Beiber and printing out pictures from the internet to litter their bedroom walls before they get home from school is a favorite past time of mine. They both hate Beiber. Muhahahahahaha!
Hello, my name is Mike. I'm American. There, now you can't say that statement any more because I wouldn't write like that. The problem with the "Americans" is that they're no different than all the kids over there with the ability to write correctly in their native language.
I still use photobucket, but it is terribly cumbersome and EXTREMELY slow to load their pages. I haven't hunted anything different down though.
I have Flickr, but for the free account, you can only have 3 groups, so my stuff is organized with more available folders on photobucket.
I'm looking into some of these that people are linking.
Hmm, the tinypic.com just goes to photobucket.
Dropbox sounds like something I could use aside from just a photo host. I have to shuffle files back and forth through email to use on my work computer. But it looks like you have to have the program installed on your computers, which I can't do with the work computer. Can you still download and upload to the net without the Dropbox download?

Hmm.... and I thought you Brits were suppose to be the superior beings in the realm of sarcasm, yet you don't catch it when you see it......
Car insurance rates (in the US) are based on value of the car, safety features, usage of the car (they ask you if it is a work commuter and how far the commute is) and age/sex of the driver.
I pay less for full comp coverage on my 2003 Jetta than I did for the cheapest liability only on a 1994 Civic. I'm also old enough to be your daddy, so my age has a lot to do with the fact that I can pull out the pocket change and pay my car insurance.
Ah, I see now the 01 didn't have the wing.
Thank goodness I have all that downforce compared to you then. My 180 hp over your 150 really makes that wing a necessity. Thank goodness it is factory, therefore functional.
As for the remapping, I'd love to know how the 01 runs, because I love how mine runs. I'm not boy racer, just like the acceleration no matter what gear I'm in, what rpm I'm at, or how steep the hill in front of me is. I step on the throttle and the car accelerates. Sure beats constantly dropping down the gears just to hold slightly below the speed limit in the little wimpy 4 poppers I've previously had.
Try one of those gigapixel image viewers. Sounds like the computer is limiting, not the program availability.
