| Posted by: Spaz Jan 25 2010, 04:04 PM |
| I've never seen this game before, fun stuff. ^ Either an Evo or another DSM, but this time rust-free. Financially, things are looking toward the latter. < I just started watching through Evangelion today. I know, I know, it took me too damn long. V What's your favorite automaker? Do explain. |
| Posted by: SgtXDNX Jan 25 2010, 06:09 PM |
This thread is going to go awesome places, I can tell already.  ^ Mazda, most definitely. My favourite car to drive is the SA22C, so they've gotta be doing something right. That, and rotary engines just sound so damn good!  < Kinda freaked out that a professor whose class I only attended once (two years ago) recognised me at work and is friends with my favourite English teacher. V What type of music do you enjoy, and why? |
| Posted by: Tessou Jan 25 2010, 06:12 PM |
| ^ Eurobeat, since the beat is perfect for driving. < I think there's a strange coincidence in that I just got into Mass Effect two days before the sequel releases here. V How you gonna do it if you really don't wanna dance by standing on the wall? |
| Posted by: Hannah Jan 25 2010, 06:39 PM |
| ^ Get down on it! < I think it's ridiculous how I get addicted to Facebook games, break down and play Farmville, and then Dr Phil does this bit on Farmville. FML. v What's your favorite genre of food, and what food from that genre do you hate? i.e. chinese food; egg drop soup. |
| Posted by: Kiroshino Jan 25 2010, 07:52 PM |
| Saw something similar to this, except it was "Tell something about the person above, Tell something about yourself, and Tell something about the person below". Believe it or not, people's predictions were on the mark a good portion of the time. Anyway, ^ Chinese food. Pig tongue, chicken feet, etc. < Needs to stay away from Craigslist v What's your favorite game that can be played on a computer? |
| Posted by: Lebon14 Jan 25 2010, 08:37 PM |
^ Audiosurf. Because I like listening to music and because the game is based on what you listen... this the perfect game for me  < I'm so freaking bored. OMG. v What do you do when you're bored? |

| ^Tend to my car. <Need to lose weight. v Is the XT6 worth buying? |

| ^clerks II < should really be going to sleep v V8 or I6? |
| Posted by: Möbius Jan 25 2010, 09:50 PM |
| ^ I6, but I have no real reason why. I guess I just don't know that many cars with a V8 that appeal to me. < Thinks this topic needs less of the generic replies like above ( borders on spam and contributes nothing to the topic ), and more replies like most of the replies before it. Don't be afraid to type a bit, will you? V Would you agree with the above comment? |
| Posted by: Nomake Wan Jan 25 2010, 10:02 PM |
| ^ I would indeed agree. Buffing your post count with nonsense contributes nothing. You started something good, Toyoguy, so don't screw it up! < Wishes it would stop raining here, we've had enough rain in SoCal V If you could be any one Kamen Rider, which would it be and why? |
| Posted by: Alastair Jan 25 2010, 10:07 PM |

| Posted by: Pikachu_Fragger Jan 25 2010, 10:10 PM |
| ^ GODDAMMIT AL uh, if you meant into a live-action movie, it would be Air or Kanon, because I'm a sucker for things that make me cry. < I went straight to Anime Expo last year to pick up tickets just an hour or so after a serious car accident. The usher who saw me commented, "Now THAT'S dedication," because it was very apparent I just came from one - I was still bleeding from the lip. Ask Don. V What is the best thing you yourself can do that doesn't require hands? |
| Posted by: Spaz Jan 25 2010, 10:28 PM |

| ^ Can totally dig it. < Is pondering getting a subscription to Star Trek Online, the beta was cool V iPhone or Android and why? |
| Posted by: MattW Jan 25 2010, 10:55 PM |
| ^ Neither, they're both overpriced. < Watchin Craig Ferguson. V If you could control the country you currently reside in for one year, what kind of terrible things would you do? |
| Posted by: Nomake Wan Jan 26 2010, 12:54 AM |
| ^ I'd revoke the PROTECT Act and force it to be rewritten without § 1466A subsection ©. There would also be an elimination of the MPAA and RIAA's legal rights. I think that'd be a good start. < Has an 8GB iPhone 3G he paid $49 for. Hell yeah contract renewal low prices. V Star Trek or Star Wars? |
| Posted by: BOZZ Jan 26 2010, 12:55 AM |
| ^ Star Trek definitely... I grew up watching it and reading a plethora of Trek novels. Star Wars just happened to get exposed to me later (I ended up seeing Empire Strikes Back years after the other two and saw it in French for the first viewing). < Got a job interview with Apple today that I am looking forward to. Hopefully I can land the job... V If you could be in any movie, as an extra or otherwise, or even TV series, which would it be and why? |
| Posted by: Sanae Jan 26 2010, 01:21 AM |
| ^ The upcoming Star Trek XII. If only to get to wear a Starfleet Uniform, even red would be cool. < I'm getting slightly desperate looking for a new manga to read, (shojo if possible) can't find anything decent this days. V Related to the above, any recent manga or anime series you might want to recommend to me? |
| Posted by: SgtXDNX Jan 26 2010, 01:23 AM |
| EDIT: Damnit Sanae! ^ Sasameki Koto and Kimi ni Todoke spring to mind for shoujo. Quite enjoyed both of them. Good stories, and KnT has a weird but awesome art style. < Is wasting entirely too much money on Gunpla and markers this month. V Mac or PC, and why? |
| Posted by: Dem Jan 26 2010, 01:27 AM |
| ^ PC. I grew up with it and I'm more comfortable using it. I'm also a PC gamer, so that's a big bonus. Many games can be problematic on Macs. < Enjoys staying up on school nights when everyone is asleep, sitting in bed with his laptop and indulging in some of the finer things that the internet has to offer. V Are you a coffee drinker? Why or why not? |
| Posted by: WRX DEMON Type R Jan 26 2010, 06:54 AM |
| ^ Yes, I am. But Cafe Au Lait - always with milk. Why? Cuz I've been having Cafe Au Lait with breakfast since I was a kid. LOL. It wakes me up and gets me through times when I just want to doze off. < I can speak a decent amount of Japanese, but I only speak Japanese with Japanese people who I like or are nice. If I don't like a Japanese person or the person is a prick, I'll pretend not to know a shred of Japanese just to mind f**k with them. V What's your favourite colour and why? |
| Posted by: Shirogane Jan 26 2010, 07:08 AM |
| ^Black, Always have been, always will be, even though it's not a true colour. <I really hate my new haircut, and I hate wearing my hat to hide it. v If someone gave you a choice between an Evinrude 225 and a Honda 225 (Basically a Honda J35 engine modified for marine use) and it has to be those two, no exceptions and you cannot say you don't want them, what would you pick? |
| Posted by: toyoguy Jan 26 2010, 07:26 AM |
| ^ honda engine just because of honda reliability (although im not sure about their boat engines) i dont wanna be stuck in the middle of a lake ahaha < i really need to get back into manga i took a break from it and now cant seem to find anything to get back into...

| Posted by: Spaz Jan 26 2010, 08:50 AM |
| ^ Sailboat. Sailing is awesome. I've got a ton of hours logged on those little 1-2 person Sunfish. < I will be posting a lot tonight while I'm in class... v coffee or energy drinks, and why? |
| Posted by: Möbius Jan 26 2010, 08:53 AM |
| ^ Neither. Coffee if you want the taste, but both of them are bad if you drink it for the effect ( used to be a regular energy drink consumer ). < Cannot believe Spaz missed a perfect setup of "motorboating". V Would you support a change in driver's education to allow only people who know how to drive manual to be able to get a licence? |
| Posted by: Bubs Jan 26 2010, 09:01 AM |
| ^ Yes, because automatic cars allow people - who really shouldn't be driving - to drive. < The only cars that I would ever own with an automatic transmission are typically those that never had a manual option, or where the manual optioned model is incredibly rare. Eg. Mercedes, '90s Lexus LS400, etc. V Back to coffee. Cream and sugar, or black? |
| Posted by: Möbius Jan 26 2010, 09:07 AM |
| ^ Triple/Triple for me. < Thinks people should not go for cheap cop out questions in this thread, and make it more interesting. The following is to illustrate the point: V Back to coffee, black, cream, etc? |
| Posted by: flohtingPoint Jan 26 2010, 09:13 AM |
| ^ espresso, black < Cant' wait for the Formula 1 season to start V Poop in public restrooms? |
| Posted by: Shirogane Jan 26 2010, 09:13 AM |
| ^When it's a huge emergency. Which there isn't. <I'm starting to grow less tolerable of my job, don't know why. v Anyone used Faronics Deepfreeze before? |
| Posted by: Möbius Jan 26 2010, 09:15 AM |
| ^ I haven't, I don't even know what it is. < I like floht's sigs, great to see a new one. V Back to coffee, black, cream, etc? |
| Posted by: Bubs Jan 26 2010, 09:18 AM |
| ^ Cream and sugar. < I have a really hard time being lazy. If I just lay around the house, I feel guilty. It's like I'm wasting the day. v Back to coffee. Black, cream, etc? Just kidding. If you could only buy cars from Germany or Japan for the rest of your life, which country's cars would you buy? |
| Posted by: Drew Jan 26 2010, 09:42 AM |
| ^Germany; it's different, and the variety is immense. <roomate's in the room so no Forza 3 for me right now  v Picking only two of the three, what qualities would you want in a girlfriend/boyfriend? -Also into your interests -Sane -Good looking |
| Posted by: flohtingPoint Jan 26 2010, 10:29 AM |
| ^ Sane and good looking. < Never wants a chick who is into my interests as then I have to tell her "no" when she asks to drive my car(s). V WTF did this wacko mean by "stacked bad a few weeks ago" and why did it give him scabs? https://idforums.net/index.php?showtopic=40056&view=findpost&p=1132720 |
| Posted by: MetalMan777 Jan 26 2010, 10:50 AM |
| ^ LOLWUT? I have no idea yo. < Right now my primary Computer is a 10.1" Asus netbook. I'm too goddamn lazy to hook up my gaming pc. V Horsepower or Torque and why? |
| Posted by: flohtingPoint Jan 26 2010, 11:06 AM |
| ^ Balance. Rotaries, VTEC's, even my blacktop 20v has garbage torque, which makes them a dog out of the pocket. Too much torque and little HP means you're in diesel range and unless you're towing or going for gas milage, it's pointless. < Needs a nap. Today is dragging... V Favorite beer? If you're to young, then favorite juice for your power rangers lunch box? |
| Posted by: Bubs Jan 26 2010, 11:20 AM | ||
^ Don't have a favorite beer, but my favorite alcoholic beverage is Twisted Tea Backyard Batch. It's sweet tea but alcoholic. :] < Has drank a few times but not all that interested in getting drunk, to be perfectly honest. A good buzz can be fun but anything more than that and I'm all set. v - Do you mind if your significant other drinks/smokes? |
| Posted by: flohtingPoint Jan 26 2010, 11:27 AM |
| ^ No, but the moment they b*tch at me for doing anything, I get livid. < Speaking of smoking, I'm about to go out and have one right now. V 5 hour energy or red bull? |
| Posted by: Hannah Jan 26 2010, 11:28 AM | ||
^ I know he'll fume at me for saying so, but it's HEE-LARIOUS to watch Drifter get smashed drunk. I approve.  v< I totally need to lay off the friggin' Cold Stone ice cream. But a medium signature in a drink cup with whipped cream on top is SO CASH. V Your best cheesy pick-up line. GOGOGOGOGO |
| Posted by: MetalMan777 Jan 26 2010, 11:56 AM |
| Oh shit, the game is broken. ^^Redbull as I have yet to try any energy "shot" ^ *lick finger, then poke her shirt and yours* "Hey, how about we get out of these wet clothes? < Counting down the days till I need to work on my brakes. Probably going to do it with the oil change. V What brand of tires do you use? What's your favorite, and what size? |
| Posted by: flohtingPoint Jan 26 2010, 12:04 PM |
| ^ Depends. My DD has whatever came on my C30, I've never even looked at it as it's still under warranty. My track cars have an assortment of tires: Hoosier S03, Hankook RS3, Azenis RT615, etc. My favorite? Hoosier A6, 225/45/R15. < Is counting the days till March. Thats my next motorsports event. V How many hours of sleep do you get per night? |

| ^ Good ol' Colonel Sanders... < 's room looks like a messy room from a movie/TV show. v Will you clean my room? |
| Posted by: Spaz Jan 26 2010, 02:43 PM |
| ^ f**k no. < I don't even clean my own room completely. Major things like electronics get dusted off weekly, but everything else usually collects dust for a month or two. v back to coffee, cream, sugar, or black? @Apex: Yeah, I didn't even think about the opportunity for a motorboating joke there. You gotta cut me some slack though, I had just woken up. |
| Posted by: SgtXDNX Jan 26 2010, 03:05 PM |
| ^ Depends, really. If it's at home or a coffee shop, black. But that nasty crap they have at work? Double milk, double sugar. It's like drinking bloody mud without it. < Need to get off my ass and get the holiday homework for my certification course done during lunch break at said place of employment today. V Pirates or ninjas, why? |
| Posted by: Nappy Hared Azn Jan 26 2010, 03:11 PM |
| ^ Ninjas. Proof: Well, certain special forces units can be considered modern-day ninjas, right? And the last time I checked, Navy SEALs > Somali pirates. < I don't drink coffee or energy drinks. v Why the hell are you wasting time in this thread? |
| Posted by: CoastalmixX Jan 26 2010, 03:35 PM |
| ^ I'm unemployed and killing time waiting for calls/e-mails. =P < I have an Engineering M.S. but I want to be a musician. v Military life or civilian life? |

| ^ anyone but LA and Boston would be fine with me. Let the bandwagoners die. < All this talk of coffee made me go get some. Espresso at 7:30 probably isn't a good idea though. V cockbagsayswhat? |
| Posted by: Nappy Hared Azn Jan 26 2010, 05:30 PM |
| ^ What? OH SHI- < Found out that tomorrow's math class was canceled... after spending 2 hours on HW. v Most over-rated movie? |
| Posted by: Alastair Jan 26 2010, 05:37 PM |
| ^ avatar nuf said. < Just got a part in the opera Don giovanni  V Most under rated car and why? |
| Posted by: BlackSubaru Jan 26 2010, 05:55 PM |
 ^A used one. Because it's cheaper than new and will get you wherever you need to go. <has just quit trying to make sense of photoshop vhave you ever tried to hookupw ith an ex? |

| Posted by: Shirogane Jan 26 2010, 08:16 PM |
| ^Presumably not, most of us learned our lesson on utterly cheap cars, ask flohtingPoint for more info on 240SXs and such. (BHGs could mean water got into oil, etc.) <My computer is utterly slow today.... v Is it a feasible idea to trade in a seized but running Econoline 250 for a Super Beetle? |

| Posted by: CoastalmixX Jan 26 2010, 09:43 PM |
| ^ To try and achieve the idea of being perfect, which most haven't realized is a waste of time. < I've decided to go for a regular office job and moonlight as a musician. (I hope I used moonlight correctly) v Where do you find meaning in life? |
| Posted by: Drew Jan 26 2010, 09:49 PM |

Balls. ^3.1415win < My next car is still very much in the planning stage but the tentative plan is to take an E36 coupe, roll cage it and drop in a 3.5L M30 engine, which is the big 5 series engine from a generation before that, and turbo it to around 20lbs of boost. I think I can keep the crank, but the pistons and head are going to need work. Add some underbody front wing and some rear wing and new shocks and I will have a car that probably won't be street legal. No big deal though, It'll be a trackday car only. v What should I have for lunch? |
| Posted by: Möbius Jan 27 2010, 08:54 AM | ||
^ I say Chicken Sub. < I will probably have that for lunch as well. V Is it snowing where you live? |

^ I don't think so, but I can't say for sure. < I'm sitting in my car on a break from class, eating PopTarts. This is a common activity for me during the week V When is the last time you cleaned out your daily driver? |
| Posted by: Drew Jan 27 2010, 04:34 PM |
| ^Wow, had to have been about 6-7 months ago... <Also, my car has so much dirt on it; I ain't cleaning any of it off at all for another few moths at least...me like dirty car. v Which Lemans Diesel is/was better? Peugeot 908 or Audi R15? |

| ^You do not choose the Beatle(unless you're a masochist), it is thrust upon you forcibly. Usually because you can't afford a real car.. <I can afford a real car, from the same country no less. I'd rather have a Thing than a Beatle, and a Karmann Ghia over that. v There's a shitty looking lot downtown that has 2 BMW M635csi's, what the hell are those worth? They're in decidedly 'meh' condition, I'm pretty sure one is a parts donor. The guy wants 15 grand for them, he's batshit crazy. |

| ^ Ragtop Beetle. < People think I'm weird for posting on these forums. v What is your stance on Gay Marriage? |
| Posted by: Nomake Wan Jan 27 2010, 08:31 PM |
| ^Marriage as defined by religion... is defined by religion, and if religion says homosexuality isn't kosher, then that's that. However, I think it's ridiculous that there's still discrimination against homosexual people trying to get the same rights (tax breaks, hospital rights, etc etc) as married folks through the legal system. Legal rights and religious ceremonies should be totally separate. < Just blew up part of his hard drive accidentally. Don't handle sensitive password-protected devices while you're half-asleep and don't check the caps lock, kids.

| The word Minolta is an acronym. Mechanisms INstruments Optics and Lenses by TAshima The alpha name was used for Minolta's Maxxum series in Asia. It was called Dynax in Europe. Many of the lenses that are badged Sony are really rebadged Minolta lenses. What killed the company was the following: Sued by Honeywell in the late 80's for patent infringement on their auto focus. Spending tons of money developing Advance Photo System SLR's. Coming in too late to do DSLR's. I've been a Minolta owner and user since I was 7 years old. 1972 Minolta Hi-Matic F 1984 Minolta Talker 1976 Minolta Pocket Autopak 450 E 1986 Minolta Freedom III 1993 Minolta Freedom Tele 1981 Minolta X700 complete with the Minolta Motor Drive 1 2007 Minolta (cough) Alpha 700 I guess this makes me the resident Minolta fan boy. |

Only time that had a "feeling" was when I was driving a manual every day then suddenly drove the automatic. Kept hitting the invisible clutch. < Needs to re-register the Z tomorrow.

| Posted by: flohtingPoint Feb 1 2010, 03:58 AM |
| ^ FTML. I'm on vacation right now, but it's being spent continuing to prep my MR2 for this coming season of Autocross. < Enjoying a cup of coffee right now while waking up V Do you have a morning ritual? |
| Posted by: Tessou Feb 1 2010, 07:45 AM |
| ^ Usually involves just dialing the tempurature to daytime levels and then getting on with my day. No caffeine or anything required since my metabolism is stupid high. < Incidentally, I just woke up four hours early thanks to construction being done to the house next door, barely a few feet away from my bedroom window. Cranky. I have a new workplace to attend in a few hours and now I get to do it on very few hours of sleep, all the way through midnight. V How do you deal with "God/life hates me" moments the world throws your way, as in the example given above? |
| Posted by: Spaz Feb 1 2010, 08:50 AM |
| ^ Baseball bat. < Chased a guy into his own house last night after he road raged on me for no reason. Was fun. Some people need to learn that driving an excessively large SUV doesn't mean you can bully the guy in the tiny car and get away with it. v You ever have any unnecessary but amusing responses to people being rude to you? |
| Posted by: Shirogane Feb 1 2010, 09:04 AM | ||

| Posted by: Alex Feb 1 2010, 10:51 AM | ||
^ At my current job, no. It's a royal pain for me to maintain too. < Just applied for a job at a photo studio, where I'll need to keep my face clean and tone down the mutton chops. I'm equal parts nervous/excited about getting this job. If I do... V Pretty much the only way I'll get this job is if they fire the cute girl working there that digs me. What should I do?! |

| ^ I'm not really a big fan of guns. < That said, my aim is pretty damn good. I grew up around them, but well, meh. I never want to be somewhere when I need one. And I'd rather do just about anything else than shoot. v Since when do they offer motor oil in 1 gallon jugs? Who buys those? 5 quarts ftw. |
| Posted by: Alex Feb 1 2010, 02:14 PM | ||
^ Maybe it's just for the guy that needs to top off his oil every once in a while? < I kinda responded to this one without having anything else to say. I just finished a test in class and now I have a chunk of spare time. v What would you do with your spare time? |
| Posted by: CoastalmixX Feb 1 2010, 02:29 PM |
| ^ Play piano, have a couple drinks, and smoke hookah. If money wasn't a factor, I'd be traveling everywhere especially exotic places. < Ate some really bad stuff last weekend that's messing with the stomach. V Are there ANY good online sites for job searching? |

| Posted by: WRX DEMON Type R Feb 2 2010, 05:30 PM |
| ^ Yes. Full House is a big hit here in Japan on the Disney channel. I watched it in Canada way back when I was 3 or 4 and I'm rewatching it again nearly every evening here. < My shoulders are killing me. I can't wait to hit up the hotsprings in Northern Nagano next week. V Wolverine or Batman? Why? |

| Posted by: MetalMan777 Feb 2 2010, 06:31 PM |
| ^ The Departed, because I don't think there's been a good movie since that came out. < I like bad movies anyway, so the academy awards mean nothing to me. v While I can appreciate good acting, and the things that make a movie good, high budget block busters are usually crap. Which bad movie is your favorite? Alternate phrasing: What's your guilty pleasure movie? |
| Posted by: Rudy Feb 2 2010, 09:13 PM |
^ Silent Hill. It completely bastardizes the original story, but it's sooo good.  <- My credit card is finally paid off! <3 V Did you know Pyramid Head is actually the monster of James Sunderland's sexual/violent regressions [and thus, only belongs in SH2], and had absolutely no business serving the role he did in the movie? |
| Posted by: flohtingPoint Feb 2 2010, 10:28 PM |
| ^ The only PH I know is Patrick Head. < Is still waiting on those assbuckets at Cusco to get me my camber plates for the MR2. I ordered them in Oct of last year. That's what I get for not ordering my front camber plates from Ground Control. V Biggest douchebag(s) to win anything; Jensen Button, Lewis Hamilton, George W. Bush winning either election, Ritchie Valens getting into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fan after a career of less than a year or any New England Patriots Super Bowl team. |

Reeeeally just hate the guy. < Has to go purchase a new mobile phone after destroying the previous one (Edit: also just got rid of the shmuck status )V Ever managed to completely obliterate something with household appliances? |

| ^ Can't say that I have, no. < Happy about it finally snowing over here, but at the same time, it wasn't nearly enough. V Do you feel happy in the general sense? |
| Posted by: WRX DEMON Type R Feb 3 2010, 07:00 PM | ||
^ Generally, yes. I'm quite content with how my life is at the moment. But it does help that I generally look on the bright side of things. < I can't wait to swap to a Casio Exilim CA003 tomorrow. It's got a microSDHC card slot, GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, FM radio, and a handful of color options. Leaps and bounds better than what I have now. V What is the best way to protect your groin from an attack?

| Posted by: WRX DEMON Type R Feb 3 2010, 08:31 PM |
| ^ buffy n angel. Angel is just so damn sad. The two make a great opposites couple. < I used to watch Buffy alot until the Angel series branched off, I then followed that - I loved that one episode when Angel became human again and he ate a poptart and he was all, *OMG! THIS IS SOOO GOOD!*. Sorta brought a tear to my eye. V Speaking of slayers, who would win in a fight, a battle of the slayers, a battle of the B's!!! Buffy... OR BLADE?! |
| Posted by: BOZZ Feb 3 2010, 09:46 PM |
| ^ It would be Blade. Funny that Buffy and Angel were brought up... Apparently Joss Whedon (the writer of both shows and head honcho) is not overly fond on romances lasting or ending on a good note. < I used to not care too much about things, if a disc got scratched, it got scratched, but now it's a whole new ball game. v Have you ever gotten paranoid over an item you own being damaged? If so what was it? |
| Posted by: WRX DEMON Type R Feb 3 2010, 10:08 PM |
| ^ Well, I've never really cared about damaging a possesion - I actually like getting 'battle scars' on things like my bicycle and I shrug off small scratches on my cars - but I absolutely go paranoid with protecting my laptop. It's really my only connection to the western world, so I'm superparanoid about keeping it safe - so much so that the laptop has only ever seen maybe about 5 or 6 days outside my apartment ever since i came to japan. It pretty much acts as a desktop. < I freaking hate staff meetings at work. V What's the deal with all these 'i' products? Seems like everyone I know has an Iphone. I don't understand what the big deal is... Is there something wrong with me? |
| Posted by: BOZZ Feb 3 2010, 10:09 PM |
| ^ It's just the way Apple likes to name their products (iMac, iPod, iPad, iPhone, iBook(s)). I don't think there's anything wrong with you, to each their own. Some people like vegetable salad, others like fruit salad. < I hate working in an office and I doubt I'd ever see myself working full time at one ever again. V Do you have any purchase, large or small, that you are looking forward to purchasing when you get the chance? Any reason why? |
| Posted by: djmisio85 Feb 3 2010, 11:05 PM |
^ I'm looking forward to purchasing blue Cusco intercooler piping for my evo, and I'm very happy because they still sell the product new and even happier because a friend of mine who used to work for Cusco might me able to get it for me cheaper  < I work with a bunch of douchebags, two of who I think might actually be gay, all they ever talk about is celebrities and plastic surgery V Do you have to work with douchebags, or is everyone at your work really nice? |
| Posted by: Saint Feb 3 2010, 11:52 PM |
| ^ There's no such thing as everyone in the workplace is nice. There're always villains and heroes, and petty bastards and b*tches. Most of my colleagues were nice when I was working as a teacher. After I stopped and moved on to university, things have changed, a lot. All are douchebags. < I need to finish off my books... Been procrastinating too much. v Exorcist and Ju-On, which is relatively scarier? |
| Posted by: CoastalmixX Feb 4 2010, 12:10 AM |
| ^ Ju-On because Exorcist was hilarious. No joke. < Needs to stop being a little b*tch and change his diet. V What's your ultimate goal in life? |
| Posted by: Möbius Feb 4 2010, 01:56 AM |
| ^ To post on IDWF. < Wishes people would realize that actually quoting the previous post in this thread breaks the "flow" of the topic. I realize it's a force of habit, almost did it a couple of times myself... V Would you prefer a Porsche or a Ferrari? |
| Posted by: orion Feb 4 2010, 02:51 AM | ||
^ ferrari, but only like a few models, either a 360 (have 430s) enzo or daytona. porsche just doesn't appeal to me, maybe because the engine is in the back or the fact that they seem dull < if i could have any car in the world? would probably have a first gen cosmo like in my avatar picture, with the original 10a engine. these cars are extremely rare (even Jay Leno's doesn't have a 10a) V what car would you sell you left nut (or left boob for the ladies) to have? |

| Posted by: WRX DEMON Type R Feb 4 2010, 05:20 PM | ||
^ Who's Bruce Springsteen? < I have a variety of taste in music, but I'll never understand hard metal >< V Alice Cooper bought popcorn and softdrinks from me when I was working my part-time job back in highschool during the start of the school semester. I asked him, 'I thought you said school's out forever?' he replied, 'Nope, I said school's out for summer.' Now how cool is THAT? |
| Posted by: Möbius Feb 4 2010, 05:38 PM |
| ^ Who's Alice Cooper? < Got my rear pads today, will be installing tomorrow. Yay for unplanned expenses. V IF you know how to drive manual, would you get an automatic car? |
| Posted by: Saint Feb 4 2010, 06:05 PM |
| ^ Nope, since it costs more for its maintenance and fuel consumption AFAIK. But more importantly, it's more fun with gear shifts. < Valentine's coming... v Would you ever yell at an elderly person, even if it's from good intention of correcting the person's mistakes? Like, he/she would have never listened if you said it politely. |
| Posted by: Rudy Feb 4 2010, 10:09 PM |
| ^ Did and have. HUNDREDS of times. <- jeez, I really REALLY need to stop eating out. V Help me? |

| ^ Was going to do the 24 hrs of Lemons in NC but I backed out of my pit crew spot becasese of the coming storm to the DC area. Now I'm probably going to hole myself up in my garage with the rest of the British Leyland population in the District and drink beer while continue to finish my STS Spec MR2. < Expected the camber plates I ordered back in Sept to arrive today, or at least thats what the douchebags at Cusco told me.

| Posted by: Icon Feb 12 2010, 05:45 PM |
| ^having done both i wouldn't say snowboarding is in any way more dangerous than downhill skiing. the only thing i've ever busted while snowboarding was a knee. the most challenging aspect in switching from skis to a board is not being able to move your legs seperately. I can't really say much more than it just takes practice < is feeling really mellow and should get some sleep V what's the latest body part you broke(own or someone else's ) and how did it happen? |

| Posted by: Alex Feb 15 2010, 03:35 PM | ||
^ I wasn't aware today was a "holiday" until I got to class and people were complaining about having to come to class. I knew President's Day was coming up, just didn't know when. < Doesn't have work for a week. Sister store closed it's doors, we're taking in 2 of their employees (both managers AFAIK), and somehow myself and one other guy I work with got removed from the schedule for this week. Had me shakin' in my boots when I first saw the schedule was a few names shorter. I'm told we'll be back on next week, but there's a lot of rumors floating around that have me nervous. v Would you hire me? |

| Posted by: chillined Feb 15 2010, 04:44 PM | ||
^ Depends on which one, but you'll have to maintain and properly drive one, apex seals are probably a must check, and maybe even a rebuild. But it's really worth it, in my own opinion < Wants a car REAL bad... A few more months of waiting I guess... (I'll definitely post it here.) V What kind of salary could you live off comfortably, but no more? (So in other words, what salary would you be happy with, and it can't be some rediculous number.) |
| Posted by: Spaz Feb 15 2010, 06:37 PM |
| ^ That's hard. I'd be happy in an apartment, but a house is the end goal, and there's insurance on everything, two cars (I can't live without a project, and my projects need to stop being my DDs), and then necessities. So probably 50k-ish? < Isn't anywhere near there right now. But I am financially happy for the time being.v back to coffee, cream, sugar, or black? |

| ^ Beer. I'm a simple person. < Is packing for his business trip tomorrow V 2nd Jerez test this week and it looks like more bad weather. Think we'll get any useful info from the test or more of the same crap from last week? |

^ Definitely Pipe or Joints, without tabacco < Toking up with a few friends in a few hours. V Have you smoked weed before? |
| Posted by: Bubs Feb 16 2010, 01:20 PM |
| ^ Never smoked weed. I've got no less respect for those that do, as long as they don't let it become the center of their life while accomplishing nothing else. < I am currently at the end of my rope with a close family member who has a serious drug problem. V If given the choice between having good friends or getting laid - but only that one choice - what would you do? Essentially, bros or hoes? |

| ^I'm just going to say good friends for now. < ^"Like the fella once said, Ain't that a kick in the head?" v Is $50K for a Ram 3500 + A 6.7L Cummins turbo too much? |
| Posted by: Bubs Feb 16 2010, 02:21 PM |

The answer for either are obvious. < Learning that I do way too much for my friends. v Would you rather live up north with a terrible winter/nice summers, or would you rather live in the south with mostly warm weather but the threat of hurricanes/tornadoes/etc? |
| Posted by: Alex Feb 16 2010, 03:27 PM | ||
^ South, south, south. My heart is in the south. We have little to no threat of any kind of windy disaster in Georgia. Florida, maybe. Also, winters get pretty cold here, too. Today's High/Low is 34/24. < Going to Mellow Mushroom tonight with lady friends. Gonna be delish. V Favorite pizza place? |

Sometimes Baseball < I drove a good 150 feet today sideways exiting this one turn. Countersteer + Throttle = hilarity. v What's the furthest you've ever driven sideways? |
| Posted by: Bubs Feb 16 2010, 05:37 PM |
| ^ Somewhere between 150-200 feet powersliding the Benz around in the snow. It's got snow tires on the back that make for really easy powersliding, but the handling is very predictable. You never feel like you are going to lose control of the car. I can change the angle just by giving it some more gas. < Dreading a math test I have tomorrow. Not because I'm not confident in my math-ing abilities, I just hate algebra in general. v How does your body respond to Taco Bell? Is it like taking a handfull of laxatives or can you keep it under control? v: I quite enjoy how we managed to post at precisely the same time, down to the second. |
| Posted by: Shirogane Feb 16 2010, 05:37 PM | ||

^ Yes! The students who are graduating from the elementary school I work at on Tuesdays will be coming to the Middle School I work at every other day of the week to visit the building and meet their new teachers. THEY think I only teach at the elementary school and don't know I also work at their soon to be middle school. LOL. Can't wait to give them a pleasant surprise! < I'm still a tad sad though that the 3rd graders from the middle school (equivalent of grade 9) will be graduating and leaving for highschool next month. So is the life of a teacher. V Superman or the Hulk? Why? |
| Posted by: BlackSubaru Feb 19 2010, 03:29 PM |

| Posted by: Alex Feb 19 2010, 08:21 PM | ||
^ I don't even know how that works. Does "short lasting fun" mean we are constantly entertained for like 5 minutes at a time, then it resets? Or we get to experience one short lived fun? < Just got back from dinner with family at Ted's Montana Grill (owned by Ted Turner of Turner Broadcasting). Sooo full. Pretty good stuff though.

| Posted by: Bubs Feb 20 2010, 09:51 AM |
| ^ L-Body GM products. Basically, the GMC Acadia, Chevrolet Traverse, Saturn Outlook and Buick Enclave - all four of which are literally the same vehicle with different bodywork. If I really need to explain why I hate these vehicles, prepare to read an essay. < Finally got a new copy of my pistol permit that I accidentally destroyed in the wash. v Do you ever carry (or have the desire to carry) a gun on you? |
| Posted by: Spaz Feb 20 2010, 03:19 PM |

| Posted by: WRX DEMON Type R Feb 25 2010, 10:35 PM |
| ^ It's a chore when your car is red and you find paint chips and you lose that hard-on you once had for your cute little red-hot car. < Can't wait to be helped out by Djmisio to find some car things. V Beef or Pork and why? |
| Posted by: BOZZ Feb 26 2010, 12:37 AM |
| ^ Beef, initially due to religious reasons which has transcended into just a normal thing for me... < I'm pretty giddy about my home and birth country of Canada being tied for most gold medals in the Olympics... It's sort of got me interested in learning more about curling to be honest... v Do you ever feel that sometimes the ability to waste money is overpowering and you just got to cut yourself off? |

| Posted by: Spaz Feb 26 2010, 07:24 AM |
| ^ Yeah, if it wasn't rotting out. < A friend decided not to look last night when he backed out of his garage to make a liquor store run, and guess who forgot they were parked behind him. Yep, me. Got a nice 1" crack in the bumper where the crash post is and pushed my hood up a bit, but in the end that fixed my hood alignment issue on one side and I pounded the other side down with my fist. Didn't break any couplers for the FMIC so... oh well. He did agree to compensate me for either a new bumper or a lower selling price if the buyer mentions it. v Ever have a friend do something that really pissed you off initially and then unexpectedly agree to make it right? |
| Posted by: MetalMan777 Feb 26 2010, 10:20 AM |
| ^ Yeah, usually when my friends dick me over they're good enough to apologize and make amends. < Think I'm going to go get lunch and a car wash shortly. v How often do you wash your car when it snows? Or if you live where there is no snow, what's it like driving through it on the rare occasions that you have done so? |
