    How do YOU park at Wal-Mart?

    I pull into the parking lot, look for an available spot, turn into it, and stop. Seriously, it's a parking spot. 30' closer to the door just means there are going to be more people behind you when you try to back out. I don't understand why some people have to be as close as possible to the door.

    Modified Exhaust Law?!?

    I live in the middle of friggin nowhere and I was hit head on by a dumbshit teenager. There are idiots everywhere and no one escapes Murphy's Law. I still love riding but there is no way around the danger involved. You have to accept that before you get on one.

    Modified Exhaust Law?!?

    Doppler owns you. From head on loud pipes can not be heard any farther away than stock pipes. Since the majority of motorcycle impacts involve a head on collision, be it head to head or someone turning left in front of you, loud pipes do nothing to save lives. They do, however, contribute to...

    MKIII bites the dust..

    HOLY SHIT! They had to be going over 100MPH to fly that far. 350ft from the roadway, flew through the air, hit the back of a truck, and still had enough momentum to fly through the air again and hit the TOP of the house!

    Modified Exhaust Law?!?

    Stock Harley exhaust is not that loud. The problem is everybody guts the silencer or swaps on big fucking pipes.

    N/A Gas milage.

    You know, if you're planning on going NA-T you really should freshen the motor up first. Have you done a compression check?

    N/A Gas milage.

    Your mileage sucks. I get 300+ to a tank and my car is modified. Part of your problem is your ridiculously thick oil. Why are you running 20w50? Are you using new plugs? Edit: I just saw the new NGK spark plugs. Mileage: 23MPG average Mods: Numerous Oil: Pennzoil Platinum 10w30 Fuel...

    Need some 240SX knowlege please

    The SR20 is popular because it comes in everything and has a huge aftermarket. It does have a couple of advantages, namely it's lighter and has a higher redline. That said, it is second only to VTEC as the most over-rated engine ever. It's a rev-happy, torqueless motor with a narrow powerband...

    dont know where to go from here

    You removed part of the steering column? All you had to do was take the center piece out of the steering wheel, undo the bolt, and pull the steering wheel off. After that the collar is just held on by screws.

    lowering springs

    Another vote for Eibachs. They are not as low as H&R's but they give a nice stance and the ride is still fairly smooth. I push my car pretty hard and have never had a problem with the progressive winding. It took a little getting used to but it's just as predictable now as it was with the...

    Strep throat remedies?

    Go see a doctor. Now. Ignoring strep throat will allow it to spread to other parts of the body and cause serious damage. Among them are brain damage, spinal cord degradation, and heart defects. As someone who acquired a heart defect due to this very means, let me say it again: GO SEE A...

    Cheapest "track" platform to start with.

    +1 to the Foxbody. I know Mustangs get no respect in the import world but they are actually quite capable cars and are very easy to work on. Their suspension failings are well known and easily remedied, making them reasonably nimble.

    People who throw loud parties on Sunday night that don't break up until 5am. Teenagers in "sport" compacts People who put 22" wheels on their cars without modifying the suspension first. 22" wheels in general People who stand there and watch you working on your car offering "advice" on how they...
