  1. I skimmed through what you guys posted and i will make my point i noticed from plenty of years behind the wheel.

    Overdrive is nothing but a device that down shifts your car from lets say 3rd to 2nd to get the higher power band.

    On semis the over drive is a button that when pressed the device attached to the gears changes the ratio. that can be applied to any gear. a normal car just downshifts.

    RWD if you start fishtail and the back end goes to the left steer to the left let off gas and the car should straighten out. DONT USE BRAKES. until the car is going straight. what happens is the front wheels direct the car in which way to move it. the drive wheels in the back when the gas is let off will slow down to a speed that is less than what the car is moving at and then start to dig in to get traction again. RWD problems is that it is harder to get going from a stop. and that most sporty cars are RWD and have wide tires which makes it harder to to get a grip since there is more surface area.

    FWD. is easy to get going from a stop and thats about it. since if you lose control there is no draging action from the rear tires as in RWD so it will slide until it gets traction on its own again. if you start steering and you have no traction the whells turn and slide forward with the momentum of the car. If you lose control with a FWD there is nothing that you can really do to gain traction. It just does it by it self and hopefully it does it fast.

    Think what you want to think. but I know that i can drive my caprice which is RWD in the snow just as easy as i can drive a cobalt. I have driven camaros in the snow there very easy to drive just that its hard t get going from a stop. I have driven a pontiac vibe in the snow. easy take offs but turning is more difficult for some reason.

    If your on ICE no matter what you have your screwed. is just luck if nothing wrong goes on.

    This thread is all opinionated too keep in mind.

  2. have you tried a program calle Webroot Spysweeper? You can get the trial from www.webroot.com or www.download.com

    Im decent with computers so if you want to wait for a professional like that G6 driving ToniCippriani (sp) i wont mind.

    To return to a point in time you would have had to set these points i belive. to get to these point go to start all programs then PC Help and Tools. then system restore and the on screen stuff should guide you. If its not there go to start all programs then Accesories ten system tools and then System restore. Ther might be a date from a week ago you can pick. but everything you put on your computer from that date to now will be gone.

    Well if you dont need anything on your computer you can restore it back to when you bought it from the store. this will mean everything saved on your computer will be deleted. to do this your computer should have came with Restoration CD's you put one in restart your computer and follow the instructions. Sometimes the CD's have a Feature where it restores everything but what you have installed like games and photos would stay if you did this process. Also some computers have a partion on the harddisk that has recovey on it so the Cd's arent nessary at all. to acces it i think when you start up your compter where it says the manufatuer before going to the windows XP screen you hit F10 and follow the instructions.

    I tried.

  3. That's why I'm not getting all excited over this war.  I am a RWD lover, but a good, small car with FWD can be fun too.  Just don't try to steer a FWD in snow or ice.

    one thing tho on ice with a FWD if it starts spinning its hard to predict what it will do but with RWD you know where the cars gonna go.

    BV do you think Passing gear counts as a 5th gear?

  4. Whatever, guys. Don't be mad because my Millenia will outrun Cobalts and Fusions. :D

    :spit: :rotflmao:

    I think a Geo Metro with one of the spark plug wires removed loaded with 3 400 pound people and 4 bags of quik-Crete with a 3 speed automatic would be faster then your Millenia :P :AH-HA_wink:

  5. "lost in time"

    Like how you think Monte Carlos are the best cars every made. :AH-HA_wink:

    Yeah I know what you mean.

    I dream that i could just drift through life meeting people and be happy. But I cant. THe reasons cant be made public. but if your dieing to know just drop me a PM about this thread. I wont mind at all

  6. Is that post the invite?

    And are 3.4L v6 Camaros allowed?

    I might be able to go.

    Could i use the 13 mile entrance? since it would be easier for me and casue 1 car less conjestion. But i can understand if they only want people using the Van dyke entrance.

    Also the Amplitheature is right next to the New Blue High rise isnt it?

  7. well today i was surfing C&G and some stuff pops up and it was trying to unpartition my 3 hard drives. why would anyone do that? I would have lost over 400 Gigs of stuff! :angry:

    Any one elese noticing un wanted activity or more viruses latly?
