The OEM tires on the Civic Hybrid are the perfect example of a crappy tire. They squeal at any hint of mildly spirited cornering, and I can hear them chirping while pulling up to a stop sign. I don't brake too hard, either. They also tend to tramline, which can get extremely annoying. Want a better ...

Here's a picture I took at my school:



I still can't believe it snowed here. That was the first time I've ever seen snow fall in my entire life. I quite like it, actually.

Palm trees in the background...

We had snow here yesterday. SNOW! In the middle of Southern California! I had a picture, but I accidentally deleted it. Oops...

Why is your shifter on upside down?

Again, tell them you were at parties where people were smoking marijuana. They won't have any reason not to believe you.

From what I've heard, a spinal tap is when they take a sample of the cerebrospinal fluid located between your vertebrae. Every chemical, drug, and other substance that has entered your body shows up for this test. You can't hide anything. I hear it's also extremely painful. A1C, eh? I'm not very fam...

How long have you had your Cobalt?

I had one as a rental car while my car was in the shop. I hate the cupholders in the Cobalt. They just don't work.

Edit: Sorry, I didn't see your intro thread. Welcome to the boards.

mesaboogie, do you know about the spinal taps that the military now requires for officers?

I notice it happens to Ferraris often. I've seen 355s, 360s, that 333SP, and several Enzos that split in half when they get hit from the sides.

That same flip happened to two of BMW's LMRs and the Mercedes-Benz CLR. The CLR flew FAR - 3 flips in the air and the car went into the trees next to the track. There was a row of trees in the spot where he landed, but they were cut down only a few weeks ago.

You can always use the handbrake to hold your car in place. It's not used exclusively for parking.

Tell the guys you were at a party where everyone was smoking weed. If they ask you why you were at a party like that, tell them you didn't know there would be people smoking weed.

It worked for one of my friends (who smokes semi-regularly), so I don't see why it wouldn't work for you.

6th gear in the Ford GT is probably like 6th in the Pontiac GTO - without wind resistance, the car can theoretically go 260 mph. In the real world, the picture isn't so rosy.

My friend told me about that yesterday... that pisses me off too. She gets a brand new Saab convertible (probably slushbox) for her birthday, and complains it's the wrong color. She should be given a 1990 Hyundai Excel slushbox... a blue one.

2006 Lotus Elise (with a 20V 4A-GE Silvertop swap-in after I blow the stock 2ZZ-GE... will those even fit?)
2002 Honda S2000
2007 Infiniti G35 sedan 6-speed

That's it. Boring garage, eh?

Oh, and a 2007 Porsche 911 GT3 for a special someone.
