  1. The report, which I read, states that the majority of speeding related deaths were single car accidents...I guess meaning that morons that died drove off the road. So, atleast speeders aren't a threat to everyone else like drunk drivers.
  2. http://www.cnn.com/2003/TRAVEL/11/24/speed/index.html Changing of speed limit from 55 to 75 increased the number of highway deaths by 35%. Funny, considering that the increase of speed was 36%...makes me wonder if there is a direct connection between the two. So alas, I look the info up. The report is published here: http://www.iihs.org/srpdfs/sr3810.pdf Thoughts?
  3. I'd say go with the Accord. As a honda, its reliable. Its also very nice to drive (while not quite as fun as a Z), and comfortable enough that you can handle the commute. Its stylish and roomy. As for the Kia's, I've never been in one. The only Korean car I've been in are Hyundia's, and definately get what you pay for...you get the cheap price, with the cheaply put to gether, and cheaply designed car. My girlfriend's cousin's Elantra is a total POS...uncomfortable to be in for extended periods of times and not aware of the existence of Ergonomics. But, it does have a 100,000,000,000,000 mile/ 500 year warranty if you want to own it that long. Another sugguestion I'd make is a Camry (ever reliable, ever comfortable) or a G20/A4 (if you want to raise the cost a bit). My Girlfriend drives a G20 and I think its worth every penny she spent on it. The car is amazingly comfortable and very sweet. My buds A4 is a subcompact, but also very luxerious and very comfortable. You can get a 2000 G20 for about $13K and a A4 for about $16K. Both very worth the money IMHO.
  4. My Hyundia will pwn any voltswagon OR subaru! (incase ne body missed it...that was a joke.)
  5. I wonder what a shrink would think about Fatty's pwnage of a 20 ton Carniverous Lizard...and I'm not talkin about Rosie O'Donnell.
  6. So cute dude! Sorry to hear that you had to give them away. I hope they got good homes. :-(
  7. My girlfriend scored as a "Poser".
  8. http://www.innergeek.us/geek.html I scored 25%. Wonder how yall score.
  9. why does the picture of your bat have a website address on it?
  10. Puh-lease. I can chill but only if it is mutual chillin. I will gladly admit I took a shot at you after you attempted to pass off "user reviews" as the actual Credible Reviews. Does not match If you have difficulty realizing this then I can't help you. But please don't try to act Mr. Innocent. Of course, I'd call BS on the 'see many of them' since Subaru is only making about 300 of them a month. I've only seen one. I only know of one person that has driven one. And for the record, most of my racing is done on the highway playin tag, so speeds go between 70 and 120.
  11. Do these 3 accept? Well, I think Dweez is the only one that I don't see a for sure wanting to do this. If ya trust me Mr Fattster then I will do it. Thanks.
  12. A credited source that you didn't even post a link for? I think you are making this stuff up...Car and Driver you say?http://www.caranddriver.com/article.asp?se...0&page_number=2 From C&D Oh wait...now I see where you got those numbers. Of course...you forgot one item. LOL. While I'm at it...lets go check out what Edmunds says about the sti... http://www.edmunds.com/new/2004/subaru/imp...nav..15.Subaru* Hmm...handling again. Its ok man, you can like the car, I don't care. Its your opinion. Maybe as you get older you will realize that there is a bit more to a car than going fast in a strait line...especially for that kind of money. At $30K its more expensive than like 75% of the cars sold in America (not cars available...cars sold). But here's my hint to ya...go see one in person. Take it out of the dealership...pull up to a stop light. When the light turns green tear outta there...man isn't this car fast. Roll down the windows...its just not right without the wind in your face...ok now open up the sunroof. Wait, it doesn't have one. Crap. Now get on the highway and let her fly...this would be so much cooler with some music to be jammin too...so you reach for the stereo power button...wait. There isn't one. Crap. Man this sucks. NOTE: The suburu WRX STI that I have seen in RL HAD the stereo and upgraded speakers already installed at Classic Subaru in O-town. They were selling it for $40K because the darn car is freakin hard to get ahold of. I have not driven one, however a good buddy of mine, who races Porsche's had the opportunity to. I would expect a Porsche guy to know what hes talking about. My comments about driving experience of the car are based on his opinions.
  13. Puh-lease man. The car does not come with a stereo, does not come with modern climate controls...the darn cupholders look like an afterthought. The interior is a lot bleaker than one should expect for a car over $30K. And the darn thing has some major handling problems that shouldn't happen in an AWD car...like understeer and poor response from the Steering wheel...and road noise...and road noise...and road noise...yuck. Not something I would like to drive for 200 miles strait. As for looks...it definately looks better than ye old WRX, but the wing...is a bit much. I honestly believe that the WRX sTi is a poor (relatively) man's S-4. LOL. Like you have one man, or could afford one....and if you could I'd be interested in seeing if the sTi has the same issues that ye Standard WRX has at higher speeds...aerodynamics. The Standard WRX is a box that starts slowin down quick after 80 mph...I know, I've played tag with'em on the highway...and fast they might be at 0-60, but unable to keep up with my car at 140. Though I believe that $28K is a bit outrageous for a non turbo supra, as I said before, the Supra has something that the WRX will never have: Style. The other thing you are missing is history here. The 225 hp that the Supra sported back then (6.4 sec 0-60 I believe) was fast for its time. W/out today's technology Scooby wouldn't pack near the punch it does...not to mention would be much more expensive for what it could offer.
  14. And here I thought that he was lookin to buy the Warcraft 3 battlechest. Oh well...congrats on the new system. Now go buy W3.
  15. I watched the movie last night. (I blame gooters excellent explanation for it) Bottom line was that i was pleasantly surprised. It still sucked, but not as bad as I expected, and definately not as bad as M2. And the music totally rocked...too bad Itunes doesn't have it. My thoughts on the the Smith exploding are like Goot said...only w/out the purpose bit. I think that when Neo reached the source, the Matrix reloaded, and viola! All in all, cool psycho babble aside, I thought the movie was lame. The acting was horrible, the script was bad (FOR YOU NEO!!!!!). The cheesieness factor was over the top (spoon kid: I never finished the training program. old fighter guy: Neither...did...I...). The death of trinity was dumb (notice how the metal things that supposedly pierced her kept moving around whlie she laid ther...), and the final fight with Agent Smith was one big Dragonball Z rip off.
  16. Thanks! I'm turnin the big 26. What does that get me? Nothing, just older.
  17. yeh, that was a bit too good. Where'd you copy that from?
  18. Not all things are about going fast, my 350Z driving friend. The Supra is dead sexy. The WRX isn't. At all. In fact...its ugly...very ugly...and tiny...all 4 seats... (biased opinion here). The Supra also has eternal value. A decade from now when the WRX is a relic of another generation the Supra will still be a prized possession. Of course, I'm biased...I don't care for the Evo or the sTi. I'd still take my car over either of them. I think they are both in the same boat as the SRT-IIII: Fast, but poorly built, lacking in comforts and will not stand the test of time.
  19. Yes "there" that good. And unlike the WRX, they actually have some interior comforts and have resale value. Suburu's are not well known for holding their value. Of course, maybe I'm just biased...I've always wanted one, and too this day, firmly believe that they are the sexiest car this side of the Carerra.
  20. Announced yesterday, X-2's release date WILL be November 18th. I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm stoked. On a sad note, FFXII has been delayed throw fiscal year 2004, so it will prolly be Jan 05 before we see the next true Final Fantasy.
  21. this is me flaming you.... I haven't seen it yet, so don't have much room to talk, but if the reactions of my co-workers is the reaction I will have...then I will say that it sucks. Of the 30 odd peeps that I know that have ALREADY seen it, only 1 liked it, and hes an Id10t. Damn you Wachowski Brothers!!! You ruined an awesome series!!!!
