Re: iPhone as a performance meter

I have the Dynolicious program on my 3G, it's a cool program, however the results aren't very accurate, in my experience anyway. The numbers i've gotten on my S4 haven't been consistent at all, and if your on a road with tree cover the GPS can't keep up. It's hard to tell when the program is still g...

So your parents buy you a brand new Audi, apparently don't care about your education much (since you're having a hard time spelling things such as "lift kit" and "douche"...), and then to top it all off support your idiotic ways. It just keeps getting better. I thought duche mig...

While I may not share your passion, I can remember silently cursing tourist drivers in my hometown of Indialantic. Especially when going to the beach or driving up to Cocoa Beach. But hey - we're all tourists at one point or another, right? :) haha true. I guess annoyance is in the eye of the behol...

I knew most of those things but I just wanted to confirm, until I bought my A4 I had limited exposure to manual. All of the other cars I have driven were automatic / semi-auto (paddle shift etc) I'll admit that im a new too driving stick, but i'm not a noob to driving.

well, actually, they have the right to yell whatever they want at whoever they want. i'm not saying it might not make them an ass, but they have a right to be that too. True. It's not law im talking about though. If that guy who yelled at me was in the car and I was on the bike, he would have been ...

My friend mike recently turned 16, and for his birthday his dad bought him 6 Brand-new Escalades (One for each of their houses). If he crashes / trashes one of them he still has 5 more... Spoiled rich bastards. The founder of IKEA drives one of these http://www.edatraffen.se/dokument/nyhetsbilder/L...

Fastest speed ever driven in a car on a track?

What's the fastest you speed you all have reached, and in what kind of car?

My current top speed is 132mph, which was achieved in my BMW 530i on a drag strip track which was set up at Gillette Stadium.

I think at 115k the R8 is a value compared the the majority of it's comparables. If I could buy any car for under 200k I would still get the R8.

Since Im under 18, fidelity (the company I work for) can't open an account for me. I had similar troubles when I was under 18. Either had to have my parent's name on the accounts or had to wait. I decided I'd wait. Good for you - get those IRA's (Roth and traditional) opened as soon as you turn 18....
