While I havent been in IL for awhile, its still fun to lurk & see what you fools have been up to back home. Just some pics of the GA and some western scenery out here near the base.Got rid of the vinyl BS before coming out here, among other small stuff. The Badlands National Park, SD

Excerpt: My father was a marine in World War II, and he had a reputation for scrupulous honesty. I learned from him that you had to level with people. Later on, that got me into trouble in the service business.... That didn't go over too well in the dealerships. I grew up working in the...

someone whos parting out a time machine? Cause I need to go back to the year 2007 and buy something faster than my GA, like, say , a skateboard. I wish I was kidding. As many of you know, I ran the car in the 1/4 last Wednesday...and lost to a motherfuckin truck. Since I wont be making any...

I woke up from a strange one last night. The theme was that my parents moved into a sweet penthouse condo,only I go back the next day and the fuckin building is swaying in the wind,so badly I can't stand up straight.I tell my pops the building sucks ,but he's under some delusion it's ok to live...

I wake up this morning to find my Blackberry wont make calls. Since it says 'SIM not provisioned', i think its a tech glitch and bring it into the store. Turned out someone went into my account and cancelled the number completely.Odd, since even though I had a no-contract work plan discount it...

As some here have noticed,I'm not as active in meets and such on the TCG like I was.Right now I'm working my way out of $30K of student loan,credit card,and owed tuition debt.As such,I've had to cut back on some things. IMO,personally I don't want to owe on a damn thing.No credit card,no car...

http://consumerist.com/5250698/does-your-local-cinema-have-imax-or-just-imax-lite Here's the link.Basically IMAX corporate is licensing the name to movie theaters,who then scale down the picture size below 'true' IMAX size and charge the higher price.Apparently AMC is one chain pulling this stunt.

I did some math and came to a sad realization-one that you guys are right. In case you didnt see my thread earlier, im basically done with modding my ga. I may convert to GT body panels if I get bored, but im gonna add one more part and im through. Its a nice car considering it was that or...

Heres the lowdown. My GA has 195,000 miles on it, so its worthless as a trade.Im researching options for an actual 'fast car'-but what car should I pick?Evos and GTOs are too pricey for me at the moment, and I like the looks of the F-cars, so here the question. The choices are LT1 vs LS1...

Just like the title says. Post up pics of your car back when it was stock ( or close to it) compared to what it looks like today. Ill start off.The oldest pic ive got,I had some stupid ricer crap on before. :picard: Today

Im inspired to post this after seeing a Buffalo Grove cop shoot radar/laser from under the tailgate of a Freestar van yesterday. Lets make our own mini-posts of speedtraps in this area, so members can know which places are hard on modded cars and which places arent. Ill start by listing Lake...

I got stopped by Deerfield PD going 10 under the limit for having a burnt out license plate bulb. Didnt get a citation, but its a crackup how cops will pick reasons to stop cars they feel the need to but dont have the honest cause to. Whats the lamest/craziest excuse you guys have heard from...

Ive gots some plans for my GA that will involve it needing downtime for some engine mods ive got planned, so which of these cars would make good second cars. I just need something thats decently reliable and wont cost a ton to run -or become a project itself. Heres the list: 2000+...

Whats your worst car-related breakdown? Ill start with mine. 6 AM, on the way from work (back in November last year) Ten minutes into the drive the low coolant light comes on. I pull over and find an empty coolant resovoir. :ugh: So I walk 500 feet to a hotel bathroom to mix my emergency...

Im rolling south on 21 and pass a late model Tahoe with 'MP' plates turning left behind me. Or it should have turned left,anyways . It instead busted a U turn. :eek4: Thankfully I was paying attention to my RVM, and saw it following me. At 30 MPH.He paces me from that AM/PM carwash place all...
