  1. So on the way to work, I see flashing lights. I get closer and what's that? Another car pulled over with 2 cop cars there. Must be some new rule where 2 cops have to be there. Yet when I was pulled over, there was only one. Hmm.

      where I live, if a second cop shows up its usually to verify a DWI, to act as a second witness

      Everytime I see a second cop? It's just him chillin in his car. One cop out with the driver of the other vehicle and other cop chillin in his car not doing a damn thing.

      OMG, I saw a car pulled over with only one cop there. Holy Batman!

  2. Would a body shop be able to get parts cheaper straight from dealer rather than me getting parts from dealer? Trying to figure this out...Need new perfect parts so salvage yard is a no go.

      depends on if they want to gouge you. figure out your cost and then figure out what theyd charge you at the body shop to do the same thing.

  3. Play few games of sc2 and then making this phone call...

  4. So who's ready for some car pix this weekend? Sure won't be me with 8+ inches of snow forecasted!!

  5. 4 cop cars to handle a broken bus. 2 cop cars to handle 2 cars each (one officer at driver's window, other officer chillin in his car with window down). 8 cops for 3 vehicles. Hate this damn city.

      in my old home town of like 8k we had over 15 city cops... 20ish sheriffs (that where in town all the time anyway) and like 6-8 state poopers

      We're talking any time of day. Like I saw the bus around 10 pm. I saw one car pulled over by 2 cops at like 10 am and another car pulled over by 2 cops around 1 pm. Doesn't matter the time. And it's all city police. Aurora or Centennial, doesn't matter. Part of Denver.

  6. To everyone at/going to SBN, be careful and have fun!

      Lol Nate. That's how you do it. Carbon, no idea what you mean. Literally. And Jetta, I meant more on the trip from wherever people would be coming from.

  7. According to a dealership, a h/o alt would be 1/2 the price of stock. Too bad no one makes one for my car.

      My car dips down to 500 rpm idle and my H/O alt still kicks on. It's an EA alt.

  8. So I got some bad news today. Mech doesn't make anything for my car. Leaves it up to DC now...They're the only hope for probably another year.

      Have you tried Mike Singer? No one even responded to me and he did very promptly and was able to do me one. I haven't gotten it yet, but I will soon!!

    2. HatersGonnaHate

      HatersGonnaHate

      Singer or Excessive Amperage might be able to offer something for a car that new.

  9. Chat-Dead. Posted all I know on forum. Time to crank out a movie I suppose.

      It will sound much louder when you get it in if you're having any drop now.

    3. WastedTalent

      WastedTalent

      I've emailed mech. No response yet. (today is day #3) And as far as drop? I drop like .6 volts, which I think is actually due to computer regulated voltage. I drop without music playing... haha.

  16. How to cite sources on a paper...when you're giving information you know and don't look up? This is why I hate writing papers.

      You can't really cite yourself, if the information you know is actually correct it will have a valid source confirming somewhere. That's how they know the information is right and you didn't just make it up :P

    3. DubNDodge

      DubNDodge

      ^ exactly. I wrote up a research paper on car audio. Even though I knew everything I had to find where my knowledge was backed up. used bcae and this site along with others. It's a pita but it has to be done.

    4. WastedTalent

      WastedTalent

      Well, I must say I'll go with what Dubin says. PITA!! Lol.

  17. If this tax refund is real, HO alt will be purchased soon.

      Mine is delayed for awhile... Stupid deductions

    2. WastedTalent

      WastedTalent

      I have yet to actually file, gotta wait for my college. Make sure what form they sent me is accurate. If so? Over 3 G's. Not bad for single and no house or anything.

    3. Nate Futuristic

      Nate Futuristic

      Google 2013 tax delays I bleive the college credit is also delayed... I'm in no rush for my money from the state... I owe the gov. A little under 100 bucks lol

  18. Know what I just realized? Two paychecks today. But that's what you get when you work two jobs and go to school full time.

  19. System complete? Rolled up to Sonic, girl asked what I had in my car. "Whatcha talkin bout Willis?" "Your subs. I can hear them" Completely caught off guard since volume was 3/35.

  20. Pics of the new ride...tomorrow? This weekend? Idk. Would say today but it's snowing so, yeah.

    1. Katt

  22. New car. 2013 showroom model. Dealer will tint windows, transfer my system to new car, install remote start, and pay me $400. Great start to 2013 right?

      Tellin ya Steve, I just went in and told them where the payments absolutely had to be. They got it there and then they were all "Ready to sign?" "Idk. I'm giving up so much like my system, remote start, etc" and then they started offering. Only things I lose from my old car to this car is HID's and tinted tail lights. Combined total of around $500. Then considering you also do the work yourself? I'm sure they'd definitely let you keep your stuff. Just requ...

  23. Pwned college instructor. "Don't believe all you read on the internet" "Well, here's all the source's information and here's even the background of the source including his certifications. Anything else you want?"

    1. SnowDrifter

      SnowDrifter

      Saying don't believe what you hear on the internet nowadays is akin to saying don't believe what you hear/read/see.

      Is it easy to get bad info? Absolutely. But it's also easy to  check that information for validity

    2. WastedTalent

      WastedTalent

      And I agree. I mean I could say I'm the world's best audio installer in cars. Just because I say it, doesn't mean it's true (it's not. I'm probably one of the worst haha). But, one would only assume since it is a college class, that one wouldn't just say things. One would check for validity. He said to stick to the textbook, well... how do we know it's valid considering it's peer-reviewed? To me, that sounds like wikipedia which isn't always true. Lol....

  24. Aww crap, running with expired insurance cards. Big whoop right? It is... cept for the type of cops that are here. Seems like they do a strip search if you're going 1 mph over the speed limit as a standard.

  25. "Are we supposed to put the topic somewhere on the paper?" "Yes, you will need to provide two (2) sources of information, and you are more than welcome to pick any source you wish." Thanks for the completely irrelevant answer. Don't know if I am supposed to put the topic on there or not.
