  1. and with a base 2.4L w/ ~200hp, yes.is the 3.6L too tall for the engine bay? but yes. 300hp with a 6 speed, how can it go wrong?
  2. could be going really slow... less than 10 mph?still hilarious though
  3. someone chop this into a g6... shouldn't be too hard. the high belt line ... it's alot for safety, but i think it's a sad thing to see washing over all new products
  4. looks like it's ... 4.5 - 5 feet wide. prolly be a good handicap cab. other than being ugly
  5. not quite a looker, but if it flew by you on the highway you'd stare, but it's not ugly either.
  6. considering 90% of people don't mess with the stereo, or know how to properly use an EQ, that's why it's been re-dumbed down to a bass and treble.people that want better than ok sound always go after market some how. didn't the recent civics have radio deletes? with all the stuff GM integrates into the stereo, they should go back and be able to make a hideaway unit that takes care of that and a small interface for the dash, leaving enough room for at least a 1-din sized radio. it's the whole specialization / jack of all trades. OEM stuff is getting better, no doubt... but still can't match a moderately priced unit from a name brand. gm should have a special focus group for audio integration, made up of at least a few well known people in the industry/competetions. i remember seeing/reading something about the mach systems ford used and gm answered back with monsoon. like that, but better.
  7. an unbiased person would see "nothing humans design is perfect" oh well... rub it in the foreign biased peoples faces!
  8. well, you can allways tell them DOHC originated in ...what... the 1910's? and if the nailhead and similar can be called OHV , those came out in the 30's, right? so which one is "newer tech"...
  9. are they talking about engines getting smaller or motors, cause the motors will hardly get smaller, but placing for it will change. 3 phase AC motors are some of the simplest and best engineered products ever, the best being transformers that can be near 98% efficient.
  10. they'll look nice, i bet, but will they have any performance upgrades?
  11. still only a 5 speed.. come on!
  12. the inside is ok at best, wow the outside looks cheap.
  13. that center stack BLOWS!!!!
  14. wish the traverse was out already, my married cousin, going on her 3rd kid needs a lambda with this price tag. she loves the outlook and the acadia, just not the price...she's mainly looking at a used explorer last i talked to her.
  15. should these come with free bumper magnets, that say @$$ so you can put them after smart on the "tailgate"?
  16. if i had cash to blow, hell yeah, easy parking on college and just load it up with a good stereo/amp/components/sub. wait.. would mini be cooler? lol

    the best thing with MYTH is it can be quite cheap to put together. something like a pentium 3 or better should be able to handle recording shows well. but for HDD ease to record lots, something like a P4 or Athalon xp would allow multitasking. seeking help on it should be very easy.http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-3.html#ss3.1 for hardware needs/recommendations http://wilsonet.com/mythtv/fcmyth.php#hw scroll down some for a "how-to" it's no pull it out of a box and you're ready, but you may be happier with it...?
  18. looks pretty good. NO PIC OF THE ENGINE?!!!! wtf? lol
  19. i dislike cup holders in doors, i've kicked one with a drink in it, it was in a santa fe though in the back.
  20. that'd be nice. +1 for more power and lower emission tech.this is the stuff i wish would have gone M.E. for in college....anyway. could this 6.2L be loosely based on the ~4.5L diesel coming out for the trucks/H2? (no comments about it not being diesel and a bigger displacement ok) i bet the 5X will be about a 5.5L making ~400hp and similar mileage to what it has now(givin it's not a hybrid) well.. it's exciting anyway.
  21. i get them once in a while, but it usually works by the 3rd time i refresh, i don't think anymore about it.

    you could look into a MYTH tv box. linux distro + a tv card = cheap DVR that's not locked by default and such
  23. dang, would've been awesome if it was http://uts.cc.utexas.edu/~ifex534/bob.gif that BOB reboot was the $h!.
  24. just curious, have a pic to show what you mean about the filter being on top?
  25. something on the more truthful side now , but like that one commercial where a toyota was "broken down" and the person kept on driving past..."toyota never break down" , it was a spy themed commercial sorta.
