I want to make the jump, but I like windows 8.1 and its quirks. Like it more than 7. And I also got used to using normal desktop mode and the app mode for my applications.

I decided to ride with them last min and leave my Miata home. Glad I did. And there sure a LOT of pretty women down here.

My family finally convinced me to go to Florida with them. The beach is great and so is the view from the condo, will post photos later. Leaving to go return a SSD at best buy, I was re ended at the traffic light. Not a huge deal since its life. But the amount of damage that was done to the other vehicle was rather impressive. Now what gets me is people stupid curiosity. We moved to the side of the road on the intersection to wait for the police to arrive and file a report. And next thing you know, a rubber necker gets rear ended. So we had to wait even longer to file the report and get everything squared away. For being the first accident that I was in the vehicle when it happened, it was so bad. I was more concerned for the other driver since I am pretty sure his car is totaled. The expedition has a dent on the bumper and a small tear in it. But the car is fully drivable and now I get to enjoy the rest of the week. If it happened in my Miata, I probably would have not kept my cool as much.

Working full time and school. Not to mention only roughly four hours of sleep a day for a week started to take its toll. And on my clock it was past 1am Im honestly going to be sad that I am leaving. But its a stepping stone in the right direction.
-
Thanks for the link. The laws are rather different than TN.
-
When its late as balls, spelling usually takes a back seat.

I am pretty sure if I say that, I will be known as the weird guy. Its bad enough I know no one up there. But that is a rather interesting description to say the least.

Anyone knows what the laws are in kentuky when it comes to firearms? I am transfering to western kentuky university, and while they dont allow weapons on campus, I am plaining to living outside the campus. And I at least wanted to take a 1911 with me. To start with that is. And on a side note, that campus is huge. Puts TSU to shame and might be bigger than MTSU. Dont know about the school identification thing. I was fine being a TSU tiger and all, but a damn WKU hill toper? WTF is a hill toper?
-
Have you seen the new rock islands? Double stack 1911 9mm? Im counting down the days until my trickle funds for it reach their limit. Or I just say to hell with it and buy it. They also include a .22 barrel and spring.
-
Oh, and the tan leather seats are gone. They were ripped and way too worn. Now it has a set of nice, black leather seats. I miss cloth seats. Didnt bake me while i am driving. Something about marinating in your own juices is a rather weird thing.
-
Yeah. To this day he wont admit that he enjoyed driving it. And plus, im almost pale and he is all tan from track and soccer. And a good 120lb skinnier.
-
Reminds me of my $420 build. But that was without including the sights. So more along the lines of $440. A carry handle sight isnt all that bad.
-
True enough, but things always happen when we least expect them. Without risk, there is no reward. And plus, a few injuries is a path way to progress. FYI, I think self breaking and parking to an extent is dumb. Specially with all those blind spot cameras and sensors. All we are doing is creating a generation of worse drivers.
-
The point was for the sensors to pick him up and stop the car before it hit him. He wasnt being dumb, the hardware clearly needs improving or it was not working as it should. Many american cars have sensors now days that apply the breaks when you are about to hit something.
-
Oh, and the color isnt blurple. Its the SE edition Strato Blue. I will be getting it detailed and will post after photos. I only wish hardtops were NOT so expensive.
-
He will not admit it, but he had a lot of fun driving it. I also have done a few things to it, replaced the door panels and the seats. One door panel was bad, but I got two in fantastic shape for $160, so it was a no brainer. The tan leather seats where worn and ripped, so I got two black leader seats in almost impeccable shape for $175. All I have to do now is replace or repair the top, has a rip, fix a broken bumper clip, and get an RX8 shifting knob. Did some research on the vin, and BAM. Special Edition LS model. I knew the six speed transmission was weird, since 95% of them are five speed. Shes going to clean up really well. But deep down inside, I miss my RX8.
-
It is killing me that I had a chance to pick it up for $2500. bad engine. It wasnt until it was sold that I found a re manufactured turboed engine for $1500. I debated on shooting myself over that one. I could have bought both of them, and the engine and still have cash for maybe a pistol. Well, thats stretching it. Money for gas and oil.

So a friend wrecked his car. I, being awesome and somewhat bored with my current mode of transportation, sold it to him. In my quest for a new vehicle, I came at a massive fork on the road. A nice WRX that needed motor, or a blurple miata. Needless to say, the embarrassment on my brothers face when I picked him up at school in it was the greatest feeling I have ever felt. You cant hide your face with the top down, and the radio allowed all his friends to see him driven away to the sound of lady gaga. I threw my dignity out of the window, but it was so worth it. I will upload a picture of the pocked rocket as soon as possible.

Im on PC number 5. I will build it and then get bored with it. I dont use it much, but at least it packs power in every field, from CAD to games. For under $700 it is quite easy to build a great pc.
-
That dachshund is so puffy. I am glad I never had to worry about that with mine.
-
I will admit, they can stretch a 30 second event into half an hour. And the gear boxes have to be at least a semi's since it doesnt ever show them downshifting.
-
I played football and benched over 300. Sure as hell wasnt on the bottom of the food chain. And times change.
-
I just hope they bring some more space battles. And now I dont have to worry about trying to fight the coral people. Yuuzhan Vong. Honestly, who the FUCK came up with them. Hard to kill, lovers of pain, living ships. Complete dicks, only thing close would be intergalactic space nazis. But it did have a kick ass space battle over coruscant by using a red super star destroyer as a giant battering ram. Oh, and the separatist droid army had so much wasted potential.
-
Yeah. But that three speed will be murder with a v8. And the bell housing is removable and will mount to a t5 five speed transmission. I been toying with a ton of engine possibilities. Even though about mounting a quad rotor wankel in it. But i will be beaten and banned from the good guys car show. I also looked into a vq35 conversion with a six speed. As far as engines go, that engine bay makes the world my limit. I just need to find something and stick to it. Preferably something that wont break the bank. And i am not wanting to make it fast. At least not for a few years. Just need her looking sexy again and on the road. Seeing her in the back yard pains me. That white is a real head turner too. Not to mention pissing people off when i fill up. Nothing like a gas door behind the license plate. Sticking so far out when filling up.

I thought about a junk year as well, but its a much higher risk for an older engine.
