The story goes like this... June 6th, 2006: The people in the pictures below have my friend’s T-Mobile Sidekick. Instead of doing the honorable thing when finding someone’s phone in a taxi, they instead kept it. I have found 8 cell phones in the last couple years in taxis. EVERY single...

Products used: -Porter Cable 7336SP Dual Action Sander/Polisher (basically same as 7424 polisher that everyone on autopia.org uses) -Zaino Z-PC Fusion Dual Action Paint Cleanser Swirl Remover -Sonus SFX-2 Paint Polishing Pad To be honest, the paint looked pretty damn good considering it's age...

I just purchased a student subscription to the Wall Street Journal, and saw this article. A few notes- -"Significant" campaign for the Zephyr -Lincoln is coming out with 5 new models over the next 11 months (where have I been to miss this?) -The target market for the Zephyr is 35-45 (I thought...

This Saturday, September 10, Downtown Detroit. Racing starts at 1. More details at http://www.redbulldragsterday.com/ (my brother's car is Team Laid Back) It's similar to the Flugtag, except on land. They race an 1/8th of a mile in human powered dragsters. My brother was selected to be one of...

I was surfing around and I came across this... http://www.playstation.jp/scej/title/gt4/main.html ...which appears to be the Japanese site for Gran Turismo 4. I'm not sure if this is a complete list, but it seems to be official anyway. Like the other GT games, there's an eastern bias to the cars...

Can someone list all the chassis lube points? I just want to make sure that I am not missing any. My car thanks you in advance :-)

http://mark8.org/users/jbuch/NAIAS%2004/ The pics are pretty small, if there are some specifics people want to see, I can upload the bigger ones. Sadly, my camera's battery died part way through, so I missed a LOT (no C6 :-( )I am going to try to go back Wednesday if I can, and take some more.

Does anyone know of any home audio online stores that sell stuff pretty cheap? www.cbrstereo.com is great for car audio, but nothing for home audio. Thanks
