I got the work computer, my laptop, free wifi, microwave, tv (but that's risky), free coffee, etc. Lol. Just hating today because normally work 8 hours, today is a 14 hour day. Gettin 6 hours overtime.
-
damn lol way better than what he had... i work 10 hour days 6 days a week :S mandatory overtime shit sucks other than the paycheck lol
-
I'd take it. I work 40 hrs a week (cept this one obviously) and broke as a joke (even without car audio). I'll even take 1 hr a week overtime. Lol.

If they aren't and you sell items, I got dibs. Lmfao!

Voltage didn't drop that much (.2-.3 volts) and for not long. I mean if it was .5 volts lower than what it should be for couple months? Ok, possibly screwed. But 10 days? I would imagine you're alright. But I'm not the XS rep, they'd be the experts.

Anyone know about brakes? What the going rate is for new brakes? Seen Midas offering $80 per axle.

discs are dead simple, drums not much harder

Brakes are VERY simple.

If your just buying and installing pads it is a lot easier to do it yourself. You can get them as cheap as $30 for all 4. I bought good ones for my truck and I paid $180 for all 4. It's not hard at ALL.

"According to NASA, the shuttle-shuttling 747s handle more sluggishly at slow speeds, burn about twice the amount of fuel and have to be more careful about avoiding inclement weather. (A normal 747 can go over 5,000 nautical miles; the retrofitted NASA 747s barely exceed 1,100 nautical miles in one go.)" Source: http://dcist.com/2012/04/how_the_747_managed_to_carry_the_sh.php It does state that the shuttle 747 weighs as much as a 747 with JUST passengers, or atleast that's what they say. But also consumes a lot more fuel.
-
While I get that since it is simple to get, as if your vehicle is empty, it'll get the best gas mileage. Fill it up and weigh it down, it'll suffer on gas mileage. But isn't a shuttle heavier than all the cargo (baggage and persons) of a normal flight? I know, just another way of making money but still... carries a jet but has problem with baggage. Ironic to me.
-
While it's cool and all, not putting that down at all, how the hell can airlines charge us for overweight baggage? I mean seriously, can carry a shuttle but has problem with baggage? Anyways, definitely cool that you got to see it in person. Likin the pics.

x2. Not sure why people would want to wire to .5 if they aren't 1-a damn guru 2-willing to take the risk of losing potentially thousands of dollars (depends on amp and all that) and 3-if their setup is already loud for them. Me for example, I'd never want .5 ohms no matter the electrical or whatnot cause my system? Does me proud. Sure, may not be 150db but as someone said somewhere on here recently... if it's good for you, great. So although I'm not putting up those magical numbers like everyone, I also don't care since I like mine. So stupid to even try .5 if you're happy with your setup and such. I can understand trying it for like a ride around the block just to see though, but hooking it up for good? Get outta here...

Tired of this college crap. Same damn answer for every question. Literally.

Trolled dude at college thanks to this site. Lmfao.
-
Been getting alot of this myself. Repetitive to put it lightly.
-
It's alright to not know but to say you do know and what you actually know is wrong? Hate that. I didn't come on here claiming I know everything and in actuality I know nothing. I claim I know nothing and probably prove I know a little bit more than what I do say I know. Nothing wrong with that as I'm here to learn and help those who I can with good information.

sometimes... rarelly but sometimes... sites go slow. I can download movies from putlocker at 1mb/s and at other times we're in the 120kb/s range. Download movies (roughly all the same size) in 10 minutes to 4 hours. (btw, good site to get movies from. just need the actual link of each movie since they don't have directory there)
-
I would suggest, if this seems slow, at the same time try google or something. If google is fast, it's the site. If google is slow, then it's your provider or equipment (router or whatnot)
-
linksys >> dlink>> netgear 802.11N is the faster mainstream speed widely available currently still iirc. But if your wireless router is older, even with a faster 802.11N wireless network card, you will only receive the speed and range of whatever your router is. Since most network cards are backwards compatible with the older router speeds, but useless to buy the newer faster tech if your router isnt going to support those said speeds. So maybe worth something to look into also. True, but considering he did say it was fine for months and then has slowed... makes me think it's not the router. I've never heard of a router slow down. If it does 15mb/s down, always has done 15mb/s. It's the receiving end that usually screws up. But fact he did say that loses connection, maybe it is the router and it's connecting/disconnecting. Had that with mine the other day. Wired would work, wireless was a no-go. Unplugged, plugged back in, everything works now. And I somehow think he's tried that haha.
-
You gotta think, is it just this site or is it the entire internet? If sometimes searching on google is slow, obviously it's the entire internet, which would then be your provider. But if this is fast for a few mins, then slow for a few mins... and the rest of the internet is fast? Nothing wrong with your provider. It's the site. So that's the only thing I was trying to bring up... that at times this site does basically crash for a minute or two, then acts like normal.
-
Netgear is pretty good. As far as which one? No clue. My laptop came with built in wifi, and I have my desktop wired. No wireless for it, which has been a pain at times, but eh. I'd honestly go to a computer store (not Bob's computer shack, a place like microcenter) and they'll hook you up. If you don't wanna do that route, you could just go wherever electronics are sold and look at speeds. Obviously the more pricier, the better they perform...SUPPOSEDLY. Edit: Ok so your in NZ, so not sure what they have for computer stores but a place that's big named and such. Not just a local podunk place
-
Probably your wireless card cause I use 2 different computers and 2 different internets. I use my laptop both at home and work (the 2 different internets) and then sometimes use my desktop and laptop (have had SMD up on both at once a few times haha) and it's normally decently fast. I mean the whole page won't load in like .00002 sec, but 1-2 seconds. There are times where it literally takes like 2 minutes.

Go there and search. You can also call the toll free number. They can put you in touch with someone. Also, use your local vets clubs. Like American Legion, etc. They also have people to talk to or put you in touch with. Joining the VFW or AL is a good thing. You meet all kinds of people to help.
-
There are times where it's...beyond slow. Takes like 2 minutes to load a page. But then it speeds up and acts normal. I'm normally on during off-peak hours (12 am-530 am eastern time) so find that a little weird, but it's nothing really. Not something I'd complain about repeatedly.
-
Time to troll others on my college homework. Haha.

Should be within the next hour. Gotta roam the streets (ok so I'm a security guard and gotta walk around like I'm working or something), then go talk to this hot girl, try to get her to open up, then go take pics. Me and her alone in the whole building. Only negative part is I can't bluntly hit on her. What a shame.
-
and why the hell not?
-
Pics are posted...

Ok so new rims today... appt in less than 5 hours from right now. 10 am EST. Not sure where to buy tires from though. I'm just replacing stock rims, but do need new tires as mine are damn close to bald. Place I'm getting rims doesn't have buy 3 get 1 free. Just my luck.

I got mine from 4quicktires.com. set of 225/35zr20s for350 shipped.
-
Thanks. Store has shit online availability status, as they told me they had almost every tire imaginable for my car. So $480 or somethin and that includes installation and everything. All put on and it looks sweet, to me at least. Pics will be uploaded tonight. Been up too damn long to do a damn thing til tonight.

post them bitches when you get back from work, wanna see how they turn out on the subaru

I wouldn't want to put it where water could get to it. Think it's main purpose is to be hidden and in a sense, weather protected. Deal with the heat and cold and such but not tsunamis and all. So if I'm even understanding "gums" rather than "guns"... lmfao, I would just keep it under panels and/or liners as it's pretty much intended.
-
I'm not sure what you mean by "outside the guns on hood". Rollin with a few AK's strapped on the hood or something? But I believe Jon said that as long as the paper backing is still there and stuck to it, and the material itself is a little pudgy/sticky, should be good to go.
-
Watching "Compliance". F'd up movie man....
-
http://en.wikipedia....ompliance_(film) Is the movie. Rather F'd up.

You told me to F off!!! Lol just kidding. But no, that's what I think gives this forum a one up over every other forum. Everyone treats everyone maybe not as close family but at least distant family. If I'm having problems, I can ask and no matter how much a noob question it may be, I get help. So although a bit of a threadjack as never done business with you, all the comments people say, I would buy things from ya. But I wanna know, where's my cpt morg? Can't do a shot without me! It's just unethical! haha.
-
That's how I was. I was fine with the little rattles I had (not due to a wiper but just my trunk rattling). Then my tail light broke. That was enough. Got some second skin, asked for advice, did what I could. Obviously nothing like a pro but... wouldn't say bad for a first timer. Lol. And now, I truly think my tail light is nearly unbreakable. Take a hell of a lot more than what I have to break it.
-
Yeah, that's what I'd do. If you aren't rattling except your wiper, don't need any. It can also help with sound quality, as it does help keep outside noise out and inside noise in, but it does seem like your fine with how that is right now.
