i'll be back

its a trap!

well noted sire. turn out it only cost me 59$ for synthetic at canadian tire, the guy told me because i have the older M series 300 i'm missing an "oil pan??" or maybe he said heat pan.. i'm missing a fying pan of some sort anyway that the mechanic didnt have to remove so the price dropped by about 20 bucks, not to mention they only charged me 3$ for the filter (the last place i went charged me 25 .. ya i got ripped off). I was expecting a 100$ bill so i'm pleasantly surprised

thanks guys.. and yes mav i plan on keeping the car for longer than that lol, its gotta last me another 6 years at least! ... i think my anal-ness over my baby will win out and i'll bite the bullet for the synthetic price, plus im not very knowledgeable in the automotive department so i dont wanna try to change my own oil. from what i've read its supposed to be easier on your engine in the winter months when the temp drops below 0, and i'm not gonna build an extra igloo just to park the thing

sir i bow to a skill far greater than my own, the only thing that irked me about the game was the lack of halo music! what happened to the awesome tunes i was accustom to rocking out to

i'm gonna get an oil change done this week and i was wondering if its worth it to put synthetic in or just straight up normal stuff, its a 2002 300M with about 180K on it (111 thousand miles), i have no idea whats been put in it in the past. Is it worth the price?

I thought this was pretty neat Time

they're icky

beat this on the weekend with my buddy, i liked the gameplay and new guns and all that jaz but it felt a little short

i'm working my way through the original again, love the campaigns on these games

40 hours of class a week combined with assignments and readings has pretty much destroyed any gaming life i had

called him today about it and he told me i was being too particular .... ya ok, he thinks i'm just being picky but common it ran absolutley perfectly before i had the fluid swap and i'm not just imagining things what is the BBB?

this should probably be in the car section but i wanted alot of ppl to be able to see it as the problem needs to be resolved quickly i own a 2002 chrysler 300M and yesterday i had the transmission fluid/filter changed, when i drove it home today the downshift right around 53km/h (20-30mph?) was so rough i thought my transmission was about to blow. No other up or downshifts produced this effect. I called the mechanic and brought it back, he had absolutely no idea why it would be doing that but in the end he ended up hooking a computer thingy up to the car computer and resetting the car computer so it would re-measure fluid levels and what not. It fixed the really rough downshift but it still just isnt the same, the downshift between those 2 gears is not quite right its a little rough and it tee's me right off every time it does it.. which is of course every time i downshift at that speed. I know absolutely nothing about cars but can anyone offer some sort of explanation or solution to try, i move back to school on sunday so it was a really bad time for this to happen

bahahahahahahahaha

how did you come across this lol, do we even want to know?

yes sir

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=38if0pyeli8&feature=player_embedded#! this is a pretty good video even though its pretty old but its still got a lot of good info, i've always been anti aspartame and people always tell me i'm being anal about healthy eating.. 100% of industry related studies claiming aspartame to be safe, and 100% of independent studies flagging some sort of health concern raises some eyebrows but commercial advertising is more powerful than a handful of independent studies.

lawlz i love this show, your version also kicks some major donkey keep it up man

thanks man i'd love to read it

i've been doing this for a long time now, managed to cut all unnecessary carbs out of my diet, it was a slow process I didn;t go cold turkey all at once but more of a transition i'd recommend if just starting. Foods to avoid would be anything with an artificial sweetener in it like aspartame and also you may not consider it but avoid milk aswell (not all dairy is bad, cheese is great source of fat and vit K2 and sugar free yogurt is great for probiotics.. again make sure there is no aspartame in it) Most breakfast options are carbs packed on carbs (giant bowl of sugar labeled health cereal) so i bought a blender and put in a banana, strawberrys, blueberrys, yogurt, protein powder, some all natural peanut butter and some unsweetened almond milk, I found something like that made a great substitute
