  1. Yes and I believe that to view those, you also are required to pay something...
  2. I also implied that it mine wasn't an accurate time (a buddy, not a slip) AND that I was surprised at the time that the magazine quoted. My statement about the accuracy of the mags is that with the same group of people clocking the same cars that the ratio of their performance would be accurate, whether the final numbers were accurate representations of how fast the specific cars could drive. I did not say that a full second quicker car "could never be beaten". I said they weren't comparable. A good driver driving the STi will repeatedly smoke an equally good driver driving the Z BECAUSE the difference is so extreme...1 second. I'm not sure how much you've raced, but a full second is a lot of distance between two cars. And my S isn't a full second slower than the Z. Its .9 seconds (R&T). ;-) What led me to believe that the times were more comparable is that I know people with Z's and from my experience racing, toying, and playing tag with them , they weren't that much faster.
  3. Wow, 2 used cars all below MSRP! Uuuuhhh...dude...yeh. I don't believe that the "cost" of a used car on an internet sight can be used as a reference point to the actual selling price. http://www.kbb.com/kb/ki.dll/kw.kc.ncb?kbb...;M34M1&&&&nyrnc It depends on what you are comparing. That a guy drives a 13.3 1/4 in a car does not equate to you driving a 13.3 quarter in the same car (especially when you get to fast cars...like these). However, you can compare what they drove car A in and what they drove car B in. And I'm going to disagree with you. In a quarter, 1 second is a LONG time. Tell ya what, show me a slip of someone running a stock 350Z less than 14, and I'll agree that these two cars are in the same ballpark. I also hadn't seen they showed the S at 15.2. Neeto, and my buddy...not a track...clocked me runnin it at 14.7...I figured the S was faster than that. I'm not demeaning your car man, I'm just sayin they're not comparable performance wise. Yeh, I thought we'd talked about it. I <3 my car. Not tryin to, just voicing my opinion and disagreeing (strongly) that the car has 911 lines. Btw, I just said the Z was ugly, not so ugly. The RX-8 would qualify as "so ugly".
  4. Find me a Scooby going for MSRP. Here in Florida they, when my local Subaru Dealership gets one (for they are rare), for 5k to 10k above MSRP (KBB says $3k above invoice is average). 3 Weeks ago when my baby was in for a routine doctors visit thee Subaru Dealership (right next door, same complex) had a Scooby for $37K w/ no options. The Z starts at $26.9K (and will sell for about $26 according to KBB). They also are not par on performance. The Top End Z pulls a 14.3 Quarter mile, a full second slower than the STI (both numbers from R&T). The Scooby also handles better at all but the high end than the Z...when the advantages leans to the more aerodynamic Z. The two cars aren't comparable at all. Sorry Goot, but my car is almost a match for your Z...the STi is out of your league. As for looks, I'll be the first to stand up and say that both the RX-8 and the new Z are ugly (sorry again goot). The front end of both cars are nice, and both of them have big fat buttes. Though the Z is heads and tails better looking than the RX-8 (which IMHO only looks good from 1 angle), I still don't think its pretty. And it definately doesn't have 911 lines.
  5. I hate walmart. 50 checkout lines. 2 are open. In one is an old lady writing a check very slowly, in the other is a young mother of 4 with all 2 full carts of food and brats screaming at the top of their lungs. Hate walmart. I willingly pay the extra $.20 an item NOT to shop there. Btw, fyi all my Walmart peeps in this house: Walmart Electronics are lower quality than the same brand you will find elsewhere. The vast majority of their electronics have different model numbers than an exactly similar product made by the same company at a different store (Circuit City for instance). The reason for this is that after Qualification testing, walmart takes the bottom quarter of working product for a discount...which is how they are cheaper than everywhere else for "similar" stuff. Do NOT buy TV's, stereos, etc at Walmart!!!
  6. As opposed to all the other movies you've seen in theaters that you didn't pay to see? Yeh I'm interested in this movie too. Want to see what kinda reviews it gets, but will prolly go see it.
  7. Dude, thats not even a fair question. The STi si $10k more than both of those cars AND will kill them (after you put a stereo system in it). Course...Scooby is a bit on the ugly side, but so are the Z and the RX8.
  8. Any time man...java is my specialty. One request though...when you ask a question, please be a bit more verbose than...hey I got an error in my main. Helps a bit.
  9. What is the full error message? The "proper" way to compile a java program is: javac MyClass.java The "proper" way to run a java program is: java MyClass If the message is: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: UploadLuminexData/java Then your mistake is that you are typing java MyClass.java If your error message is Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: main Then you have no properly described main. If its none of this, post up the error message. Main should be in your class and, be public static void main(String[] args) Java will not accept main any other way and the class that you are calling MUST have a defined main.
  10. Happy late birthday conservative extremist!
  11. DONT!! Trust me, paying them back is a lot harder than it sounds dude. As for Crowbar...heres an idea. Take lotsa pictures and post them on this website so we can all drool.

  14. Interesting. If its true, then its a darn good thing that Mell has money coming out the bunghole from all his hits...
  15. Looks good. Here I thought you were quitting "here" because of what just happened.
  16. what were you doing with your nissan at a gm dealership?
  17. Cooking 101 Part 2- Steam veggies in Microwave. 1. Cut up your favorite Veggy. 2. Put in microwave safe bowl. 3. Add a little water. 4. Cover (but not close), and microwave on high for 2 minutes. Viola! Steamed brocolli in minutes...and it keeps its vitamins.
  18. Wow...that took me a minute to figure out. Guess I need more coffee to pull my head outta the gutter. Congrats on the night Goot. Just remember.
  19. actually I'm horribly unresponsive to that sort of motivation Fine then. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/features/.../2004_swimsuit/
  20. Yes, that burning sensation is your muscles craving oxygen. Because your muscles are craving it, your body will expand your veins to supply it. Never fear, dude, all part of the process!
