    How NOT to steal a SideKick II

    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...

    Gran Turismo 4 cars, courses, sounds

    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...

    Neat Cruise Control feature

    Maybe this is a known thing, maybe even something in the manual, but I just discovered this the other day. While the cruise control is on, if you tap "set/accelerate" it increases your speed by 1 mph, and if you tap "coast" it decreases your speed by 1 mph. You can also give it 3, or any...

    Transmission Questions

    I have 96k miles, and I have no idea when the trans fluid was last changed. But I'm sure it has been way too long. :-( I have heard that once you get to a certain point, it's better to just leave it sealed up and pray (while saving for a new trans just in case) than to change the fluid out...

    NAIAS '04

    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.

    haha, just kidding. try not to vomit on your keyboards http://burns.thefinaldimension.org/otn/other/pukeface.gif Here's an overall view of the trunk. You can see the subs firing upwards in the home made box, and then I mounted the amps and such to the extra wood from the box...

    chirped 2nd... from 4th?

    I was stuck behind a slow truck on the highway, and there was moderate traffic. I kept checking the mirrors looking for a gap. I finally see an opening to pass the truck, so I hit the o/d button, and then maybe a half-second later I punch the gas. To my surprise I hear a screech as I blow past...

    the Sandy method

    I did the Ivory soap/Pledge cleaning... beautiful! The Pledge gives the perfect protection. The leather is nice and slippery, but at the same time it's not greasy or yucky. Sandy was right :-)

    Shaving

    I was trying to organize some stuff on my computer and I found this. http://mark8.org/users/jbuch/images/shaved%20mark.jpg I made it a while ago. The whole angled picture thing turned out pretty silly looking, but I think the actual editing job looks ok. I shaved the antenna, the gas filler...

    Tweeter installation

    Who here has component speakers? How did you mount your tweeter? I decided that, for now anyway, I wanted to put the tweeter in the factory position (I have (well, had ;-)) the JBL premium system.) However, upon taking the door apart, I found out that it wasn't as simple as just pulling out...
