<joeblowgt> I'm only on 92 for a mile then take hardscrabble
<ufc> sometimes I go chastain->blackweel to shallowford
<ufc> that's a pretty decent way
<ufc> then I can take shallowford out to 9, to northridge and down through dunwoody
<ufc> takes ages, but no traffic
<ufc> that audible.com thing looks pretty interesting
<joeblowgt> I'd have killed someone by now if I didn't have my audio books
<ufc> that offer they have going is pretty interesting too
<ufc> 6 month commitment and you get an ipod shuffle
<CnfsdKid> i smoke, listen to CDs, sing and if on the highway for a very long time, *********e while driving next to cars and see if they notice.
<Curious86> interesting
<talios> CnfsdKid, jiz out the window and see if it hits the windscreen behind you?
<CnfsdKid> talios the side sills on my car are too high to do that. its a TT.
<talios> heh
<ufc> I'd be afraid of getting semen on my recaros
<haploid> karma semebn
<jjava> semebn has neutral karma
<haploid> karma semen
<jjava> semen has 2 karma
<Curious86> how does semen have karma?
<talios> semen++
<talios> seaman--
<haploid> CnfsdKid, what engine ?
<ufc> cement--
<CnfsdKid> haploid: the quattro version.
<ufc> slow
<jjava> slow is 100% the fault of swing though
<haploid> The TT looks pretty gay, but I understand there are some decent motors available for it
<haploid> oh
<CnfsdKid> yeah. i have the 225 version
<ufc> the TT is SLOW
<CnfsdKid> its slower than other cars in its cl*** in a straight line
<CnfsdKid> but corners it does decently.
<ufc> yes indeedy
<haploid> Then why did you buy it ?
<CnfsdKid> and its more comfortable and has more amenities for sure than other cars in its cl***.
<Number-6> TT is mad gay.
<ufc> and more money
<Number-6> is fun to drie
<CnfsdKid> yeah but its comfy and not noisy inside.
<Number-6> drive
<Number-6> i have a friend with TT
<ufc> I had one for awhile
<Number-6> lots of fun
<Number-6> mind you
<Number-6> they're not worth anywhere near what they cost.
<ufc> nope!
<haploid> my car is noisier than ****
<Number-6> they're like 100% overpriced.
<ufc> also, cornering solidly is fun
<ufc> but spinning madly is more fun :)
<ufc> haploid: mine too
<haploid> I always drive with etymotic in-ear headphones because it's so damned loud
<haploid> ufc what car ?
<ufc> 88 300zx turbo
<CnfsdKid> i think its worth the price only because it pushes so much hp out of the engine and its still somewhat reliable.
<ufc> with 3" straight thru no cat exhaust
<ufc> it's loud
<haploid> damn
<jjava> DAMN YOU! DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL! *slowly pan back to see destroyed Statue of Liberty*
<CnfsdKid> ufc: no cat? are you doing that illegally?
<ufc> CnfsdKid: damn straight!
<ufc> actually, only sorta
<CnfsdKid> ufc: good for you! stick it to the man.
<ufc> I have my cars registered in a county where I don't need to smog
<haploid> I don't have straight through exhaust but in the 6k-8.5krpm range it's ****ing loud
<CnfsdKid> ufc: put some wadded up paper towels in a folders can and weld it to your exahust and call it a catalytic converter.
<ufc> I might as well have no exhaust
<haploid> nice
<ufc> then couple that with the fact that I have large holes in my rear quarter panels
<ufc> and it's not the worlds quietest ride
<CnfsdKid> i ran my first car, an 86 rx7 with no air filter for a month before i sold it.
<ufc> plus it's the SS model, so it's got the stiffest suspension they made from the factory
<ufc> and you feel every little pebble
<haploid> ya same here
<ufc> but that's the way I likes it
<haploid> ufc++
<ufc> haploid: ok so what are you driving
<haploid> ufc s2k
<ufc> ah yes
<CnfsdKid> i almost got that.
<ufc> is that beast RWD?
<haploid> yeah
<CnfsdKid> they all are.
<ufc> excellent
<ufc> what kind of power/weight?
<CnfsdKid> s2k doesn't come with a fwd drivetrain
<haploid> it's 240bhp and weighs something like 2700lbs
<CnfsdKid> haploid: its closer to 3k curb weight.
<haploid> CnfsdKid, 2004
<haploid> they took a couple hundred lbs out of it
<CnfsdKid> haploid: alumninum heads?
<CnfsdKid> aluminum even.
<ufc> I'm in the neighborhood of 255bhp and 3050lbs
<haploid> good question, I don't know
<CnfsdKid> haploid: i thought the whole thing was cast iron.
<ufc> as soon as I come up with a grand to drop into my car, I should be able to break 300rwhp
<CnfsdKid> if i had $50k to play with a car i'd so get a 3rd gen rx7 and completely rebuild the motor with 3mm apex seals made from something bulletproof.
<haploid> oh hells no
<CnfsdKid> wha?
<CnfsdKid> the 300 rwhp?
<haploid> $50k z06 at repo auction :)
<CnfsdKid> ufc: whats your bhp?
<ufc> stock is 205
<ufc> but I'm way above stock right now
<CnfsdKid> bhp?
<ufc> yes
<Karius> Buy a bike for 9k be faster than all of the above and spend 41k on beer, holiday and a new computer
<haploid> karius fatality 40x more likely
<ufc> bear in mind it's a 20 year old engine
<CnfsdKid> yeah i'd rather have a steel cage around me when i go over 50mph
<Karius> haploid: You can reduce that factor somewhat by being sensible, but still - it is considerably higher than for car driving, sure is
<haploid> bikes are fun but I wouldn't make it an everyday vehicle
<ufc> the bottom end in the VG30 is insanely strong... there's a few guys making over 500rwhp on stock VG30 bottom ends
<haploid> then again
<CnfsdKid> i've never rode a bike before.
<haploid> Where I live everyone drives a big ****ing SUV
<ufc> 450 is easily attainable with an upgraded turbo, IC, and fuel system
<haploid> if I get in a major accident here I'm likely to get owned anyway.
<ufc> haploid: that's why you just have to be more nimble than the SUVs ;)
<CnfsdKid> haploid: you too? haha. i know how that feels. texas is the land of trucks and jesus!
<CnfsdKid> texans believe when you die a big truck in the shape of jesus will speak to you.
<haploid> yeah I'm beginning to think OC is a microcosm of Texas
<haploid> though it does have its advantages
<CnfsdKid> haploid: from what i've heard it is. its a republican outpost stronghold.
<haploid> Christian chicks want to **** just as much as any other chicks
<Karius> Texas - should be space to go offroad? Spend a few k's on an offroad bike - that is great fun. And tolerate a boring road car :)
<haploid> And a lot of them think it's "safe" to **** atheists because they're not hurting the salvation of another believer
<ufc> hahahah
<ufc> there's some logic for ya
<haploid> haha ya
<CnfsdKid> karius: i'll give you an executed simulation: vroooooooooooommmm.... *driving over flat land looking at the flat horizon and its 90 degrees out*
<ufc> CnfsdKid: you just have to make believe
<ufc> pretend that you're driving on twisty mountain roads
<haploid> "it's not premarital *** if there's no chance I'll marry you"++
<ordain> hehe, if Fox News had existed in the 19th century: http://images.dailykos.com/images/user/3/0412.jpg
<CnfsdKid> ufc: then youll just look like a retard on a bike dodging imaginary hills as you weave around on a flat brown square
<haploid> jwzrd tf?
<ufc> :P
<jwzrd> haha
<Karius> Offroad can be fun even on a rather flat track if that is what you have to play with
<ufc> just build little triangle shaped hills
<ufc> and get all excitebike on it
<CnfsdKid> hahaha
<CnfsdKid> ufc++
<CnfsdKid> as soon as you said "triangle shaped hills" i was going to say "dude, we have better graphics than that here in texas"
<dalek> i wrote a client in powerbuilder and it connects to an ejb on tomcat / When i compile the program it works fine on the machine i wrote it on but when i move it to another machine (w/ jre / jdk installed on it) it states that it can't find the jvm and it is definately there. Any ideas on how to remedy this ?
<ufc> CnfsdKid: hahaha
<haploid> hah excitebike++
<haploid> now I Want to go play rad racer :(
