    BMW Alpina B7

    I'm sure if I went in and turned off the DSC, it would have been a lot faster - the traction control starts cutting power when it detects any wheelspin at all. But it was a customer's car that I was doing the break-in service on - only had a few hundred miles on it. I know I wouldn't want the...

    BMW Alpina B7

    Meh, I've driven one - they're still big boats, no matter what Alpina does to em. Kinda slow off the line(too much traction control intervention), and the transmission takes forever to downshift, but once it kicksdown on the freeway they haul ass. Not worth $120k to me. Oh, and its not a 760...

    anyone see the SEMA foose 06 QC viper truck?

    Only other picture I could fine after a few minutes of searching. Also found these toys, apparently somehow affiliated with Foose: the Ram looks pretty SRT-ish http://www.ridemakerz.com/shop/productdetail.aspx?ProductSKU=502005&Category=Body&CallingPage=ProductSummary...

    caliber srt-4

    The SRT4 motor is new too, unless it's just a pumped up Neon SRT motor(didn't read the article). I've always hated the way FWD cars drive - I'd go for the Evo.

    First day at UTI

    I graduated from UTI in '03, went on to BMW STEP (Student Technician Education Program). Keep studying, fight the urge to screw off(I heard the day classes are full of kids straight out of highschool who want to dick around more than work), and find a part time job changing oil or something...

    Hot Wheels

    http://www.hotwheels.com/cars/cars_mainline_models.aspx Found a couple of cool little HotWheels cars to keep my Optimus Prime SRT10 company on the shelf while I was at Sears today - I got an SRT8 Charger, Challenger concept, Camaro concept, and Buick Grand National. Not bad for 0.99 each:)

    Buell gettin serious

    The Suzuki SV650 is the greatest bike ever made, I put 25k miles on mine and enjoyed every minute of it. It's about time Buell got rid of that waste of metal Harley calls a motor. Maybe I can take Buells seriously now, I rode an XB12R Firebolt a few years ago and was left pretty...

    PCM cost

    I think it's around 300 for the computer itself, plus 600 for the performance flash - so around $900 if you want a whole new computer. Or you could save the 300 and just send your old one to them.

    i need a clutch

    Pretty much all our supporting vendors offer the Centerforce clutch and pressure plate, and the Fidenza flywheel. I've read mixed reviews about the Fidenza(too light for the trucks), so I'll probable go with the DC flywheel when my clutch goes. From what I hear, upgrading the hydraulics to the...

    Smart car vs wall at 70mph .. test

    Even if the seatbelt/airbags stop your body from moving forward, all your internal organs keep moving forward at 70mph and smash into the inside of your chest cavity. Same thing happens to your brain inside your skull. Externally you can be mostly OK, but have massive internal injuries. MBenz...

    16th Annual ABATE Car & Bike Show- 6.16.07

    That Triumph is sweet, although I could do without the springer front end. A '70 Chevelle is always good for a chubby:) Aren't ABATE the dingleberries trying to argue that you're safer not wearing a helmet when you ride? Some stupid crap about the weight of the helmet causing your neck to...
