    The (old) Official Gun Thread.

    If anyone is thinking about an AR and doesn't want to custom build one, I can vouch for the Smith and Wesson MP15 series. Tough as nails.

    Valentine's Day............

    Lamented not having a significant other, took my Bronco to the car wash to meet my friend and his new Challenger R/T, then we came back here and played some Halo 3, Forza 2, and Ghost Recon. Now I'm doing my system dynamics homework. Valentines Day is useless... :-p

    New 2010 GT500! I want one

    It's as much of a mustang as the ZR1 is a corvette

    New 2010 GT500! I want one

    +1 I've pretty much settled on a '10 or '11 (if they do them) GT500 as my graduation present to myself. I worked the numbers, it will be affordable for me, i'll just have to find one when the time comes. Although, I'll be doing the convertible in black....

    hope it not a repost (video)

    Yeah, definitely seen worse. I've also seen a lot better. You know, like aesthetically unmodified. Those are almost always best.

    How long have you owned yours?

    Bought July '07, will never sell. This is true of anything I buy, be it guns or cars. Once I have them, I get attached to them, and can't forsee parting with them.

    So what everyone doing with their tax refunds?

    If I end up getting a refund, it's going into shocks for the Supra. What I don't use is getting put away for the 2010 GT500 I plan on buying when I graduate.

    Whats the fastest?

    i'd never seen that particular equation before. I always operated under the assumption that, roughly, doubling your speed required quadruple the horsepower. Guess you learn something every day.

    '92 Bronco w/ iPhone dyno

    Yeah, it's obviously not going to be as good as a real dyno, but it's informative and, at the very least, fun.

    '92 Bronco w/ iPhone dyno

    So I was driving back from classes today, and I thought "Well, the air is good and cold, maybe I should try an iPhone dyno run." So, I found a nice stretch of road, pulled over, did the accelerometer calibration, and did the run. I hadn't gotten a solid reading on it since I swapped the...

    Pay attention while you drive

    I agree. With a few exceptions, people who drive a manual sports car (a big distinction) tend be be better drivers on the whole as the nature of the beast forces them to pay more attention and enhances both driving skill and car control. Where I live, it is extremely rare to see any form of...

    Mulholland Canyon Pics - PCH

    I heartily agree. Both the road and the car are sex. How difficult was it for you to do the symmetrical exhaust like that? It was something I had considered... I hate the fat single I have.

    Do you believe the Supra (MK3) will become a collectors car over time?

    I only figured it out using MSRP, no doubt sticker price was higher across the board. My 89 would likely have been around that- the only option it doesn't have was the automatic... I also agree with the sentiment of not caring whether or not it becomes a collector. I love it to pieces...

    Do you believe the Supra (MK3) will become a collectors car over time?

    Yeah, but what do you define as cheap? Yes, they are cheap to buy now, but they weren't cheap to buy new. All other things being equal, you could buy an E-type for less... To buy my '89 new today would cost about $41000 w.r.t. inflation ($24700 in '89). That, while not outlandish, is...

    Do you believe the Supra (MK3) will become a collectors car over time?

    I can't say that I see it becoming a true collectors item along with such icons as a hemi 'cuda or mercedes 300sl etc., but I don't see it fading into obscurity either. Aside from the small number of females I know who aren't into cars, everyone I mention the Supra to knows, for the most part...

    Playing with Forza 2 paint editor

    Hey all. Got bored today and booted up Forza for the first time in a while and decided to play with the paint editor. Being that I'm in the navy, I came up with this. I like it, but I would never put it on my car
