  1. I could live with working a job I hate but earn a boatload of money. That would just be a bonus for me since I've never had a job I liked, or had a job that paid anything close to well.
  2. If they're greasy...using cold water seems to solidify grease, making it harder to clean up. Hot water keeps it in a liquid state. I used to wash a couple hundred pizza pans a day and I always kept the water seering hot.
  3. I voted but you've fallen behind into 2nd place!!! Need more skydiver votes!
  4. From my reality your observations are correct 99% of the time.
  5. I wouldn't say a word to anyone at all except my parents and a couple friends I've known since elementary school. I'd give away a few hundred thousand to them. I'd live in an average sized house with a pretty big garage. Then spend the rest on never working again, traveling, and automotive projects.
  6. Eh don't know what makes the Prius any different acceleration wise from a Kia Rio, Hyundai Accent, Honda Civic DX/LX/CX etc... They all run about 16.9 - 17 flat in the quarter mile. Slow as hell, but I haven't heard Rio Panic or Accent Panic yet. Guess it just doesn't have the same ring to it as Prius Panic.
  7. Sure can't, cars today with their 8 different computers and 960 million sensors. Sensors letting you know the tire pressure is low, the glovebox is open, the car infront of you is too close, low traction, when it's raining, when your wife is pissed, when to change the oil, etc...
  8. Because they're extremely basic cars. No power steering, windows, locks, cruise control, A/C, only available in a stick shift. Not much sound deadening means a lot of road noise. 70hp with very long gears. Great fuel economy and extremely reliable....but those just don't sell very well. The masses want cars with a lot of flair....and more things to go wrong with them. The older Civic's are so reliable because they're just so simple.
  9. I could average 45mpg with my 1990 honda civic when it had its 70hp engine. Now that I've upped the compression, threw a bigger cam in, bored cylinders, lower gears, and opened the intake + exhaust it averages 25mpg when I'm easy on it. 18mpg or less if I'm running it hard. Oh and I have to run 93 octane for the 12:1 compression.
  10. I used to have one, never could get it work properly. I eventually just tossed it.
  11. Smart cars are pretty safe, but junk. Only get like 35mpg and you have to run 91 octane. Not to mention anyone who drives one looks like a chode.
  12. It happens, my college algebra class started out with 32 students. By the time finals rolled around there were four left, only two passed. I passed with a C and so did the other guy. The instructor was horrible, I can't remember how many times he said "I don't know why you guys can't figure out these problems, I can do them just fine." He was completely serious about it too. College is 80% bullshit.
  13. Larry at Tri-State Skydivers will probably setup a WV jump if you ask real nicely
  14. You can also just type the name straight in without having to create a list.
  15. I wish I could unread that. I forgot about the teletubbie with the gay symbol on his head. Now everytime I see a closing pin I'll remember this.
  16. Tell him to leave you alone. If he still bothers you afterwards than he's doing it on a dare/lost bet.
  17. About 5 years back there was a class action settlement against the local Dupont plant for contaminating the groundwater with high levels of C8 which of course seeped into the drinking water. I had a few vials of blood drawn and then got a check for $400 same day. The level of C8 in my blood was quite high since I drank mostly tap water at the time. Can't remember how many other citizens were involved, thousands.
  18. http://www.break.com/index/insane-rope-swing-jump-off-cliff.html Very cool
  19. Note to self: Some parents allow their kids to play in the street.
