The Bose suspension system works pretty well according to the mags, but it's so heavy and complicated that there's no point in even trying to use it. It's nothing more than electronically controlled shocks, but the system is just too complicated in practice to be useful. Their audio stuff is...

I agree, go with a smaller bike to begin with unless you have a death wish. It's very easy to get overzealous on a powerful 1000cc+ bike when you don't know what you're doing.

Actually, that makes quite a bit of sense. Release a chemical that would make all the enemy soldiers too horny to fight effectively. Of course, it seems most of our enemies don't fight very effectively in traditional wars anyway.

Meh. It's just an appearance package, really. Not much in the way of powertrain upgrades. For that money, it **** well better be supercharged with forged internals.

Sometimes it's telling myself that I am a failure who can't hack it. That always pisses me off and makes me very motivated. Being told I'm incapable of doing something or that people don't believe in me is a wonderful motivator for me. Other times, it's my best friend who keeps me going. She...

I gave away my first set of six. I have more, but most of my friends have Gmail now, so if anybody wants 'em, feel free to ask. But I doubt anybody will.

Last time a thread like this came around, I was doing two jobs - Gamestop for $7.65/hr, and Burger King for $7.00/hr. Now I'm a Shift Manager for Burger King making around $23k. I'm finally making enough money to move out and still have money leftover for car toys.

That would shut down my town for a couple hours... but then, nobody here knows how to deal with snow. Last time we got a foot of snow, I just hopped in the Audi and drove through it.. all sorts of people in their big trucks looking at me weird, because they don't realize that you don't need a...

I've been around for awhile, but I don't post much anymore. Not that I consider myself any more knowledgable than most of the regulars here.

I was pulled over a couple months ago for speeding (76 in a 55.. was under the impression it was still a 65mph zone). Turns out, my license was suspended due to an unpaid ticket from a year ago, but I had not been notified of this. On top of that, the dealership I bought my car from never...

Then consider yourself lucky. I hope you never do it again, because next time it probably won't be a cop pulling you over - it'll be a cop putting handcuffs on you for vehicular manslaughter.

Paypal double-billed me for something I bought on eBay once. No problem, because I got the second payment back, right? Wrong. The double billing caused a series of overdrafts on my account, leaving me out another $93. They refused to do anything to compensate me for their mistake.

Very nice!

Happy birthday. I second not wasting your money on the Paris tape, or on strip clubs.

Er... meh? If the whole package isn't there, then who gives a crap about the ***? I have to see a full body picture (clothed or not, doesn't matter) before I can judge an ***.
