    Hookah is good stuff.
  2. That's because all the 1st gen Neons came to northern PA. There's an absolute $h!load up here.
  3. I saw a Lotus Elise drive past my house the other day. I thought it was rather odd for one of those to be out here.
  4. Random, I want to teach myself heel and toe.
  5. I'll bring it down to Lancaster.
  6. I made sure my first car was a stick-shift. Aaaaaand then, sadly, I haven't owned one since. Not until I bought the Golf, that is. I really have no use for and have grown pleasantly annoyed with automatics. I'm no longer making exceptions for the right car. If I'm buying, there's no other choice. I've got to keep my left foot entertained. The poor thing is just so bored, sitting against a dead pedal. Sometimes it twitches from not having anything to do! Deep down, my left foot knows it has an assigned job and it doesn't know what to do with itself otherwise. It sure does love a good clutch pedal and boy am I ever glad!
  7. My issue is with hidden treasures. Some relatively simple body work is tuning into endlessly difficult body work. It seems something is bent, and there's a good possibility it's the frame. The individual parts... such as the radiator support, bumper support, fenders, and hood are all undamaged... yet, nothing will line up perfectly. The most notable is the bumper... it mounts a good half-inch lower than it should. With shims and drilling new holes, I can hopefully make everything align. Although, visibly, I can't see any frame damage. Everything appears to be straight so I'm also hoping that I'm just a dumbass who can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. On the other thing, it runs better than most of the other cars in my driveway, save for the Cobalt. Besides a basic tune-up, it doesnt need anything there. After I actually start driving it again, I may just keep it as planned.
  8. Hah, on a semi-related note, I've been thinking about putting the Golf for sale once its on the road.... Pending it ever happens. These delays are killing me.
  9. To reiterate my opinion.
  10. Any tuned VW VR6 is instant sex to the ears. Clicky #3
  11. My tries were about 2 and a half minutes after I had a brain fart on Maserati on my first try. I also found that I just couldnt type any faster than that. Some of those are hard to type correctly.
  12. When I was young and flexible... I doubt I still could and I haven't bothered to try in years. As with Oldsmoboi... I do alot of outsourcing.
  13. Drive to Ohio. That's where everyone seems to go.
  14. I'm perfectly happy with my new car options right now. It's certainly better than the options from, say, 5 years ago. Course, I can sort of relate with YJ. I personally plan on removing the A/C and power steering from my Golf for the simple fact that they aren't needed. Personally, I could never live without some form of music in my daily driver and as such, I'm upgrading the stereo and speakers instead. However, I doubt we will ever return to a market filled with such options. The grand majority of the market wants all these luxuries and no automaker wants to come off as downmarket by making everything options. "Standard features" is the name of the game. It's in marketing, its in reviews, its what you see on a dealer's lot. The only vehicle to my knowledge that currently offers an affordable vehicle with a trim that removes standard features in favor of performance features is Hyundai's Genesis Coupe 2.0t R-Spec. I don't expect to see many more.
  15. Bitches, please. The only wagon sporting EXCITEMENT!!!!!!!!!!
  16. More wagons, less yapping.
  17. The Golf has one.
  18. My poor little innocent mind has been penetrated. Thanks alot.
  19. One day, when the great automotive enthusiast in the sky allows me to win the lottery, this would make a great racing circuit for all of Pa's enthusiasts and its visitors to enjoy. Think of it as our version of the Nurburgring. Unofficially 21.5 miles long, its filled with a little bit of everything. The northern section is very technical and winds through a nice hilly area. Many 90 degree turns, successive switch-backs, and blind curves. There is an awesome portion that winds around a cemetery as it suddenly drops into a valley; a favorite of mine. The southern section is more high speed based with more straights, beginning and ending with tight, near 180 degree turns. Ahh... If only dreams came true. Wolfe Racing Circuit via Google Maps
  20. Interesting. Financial aid is going to determine alot for me. The only school I know of is in Philadelphia, so that is likely it. It's just as far away from me as Detroit is.
  21. After having a weekend of spirited driving... I keep thinking, this car wouldn't be so bad if you hunkered it down with a much stiffer suspension, strut and track bars, bigger brakes with discs out back, more low end power, and never put such a poor transmission in it in the first place. The auto kills anything good about this car. Naysayers be damned; It's a complete slouch in every possible way. Reg and others can appreciate so much more with the manual transmission.
  22. Before I lost my job... About 15 minutes maximum for an 8 mile drive, one way.
  23. I'm curious if you guys know anything about this college. College for Creative Studies in Detroit, Mi.. I noticed some fairly big names are in the alumni, such as the designer for the Ford GT and Chrysler 300. I've been looking into schooling lately and this campus appears to be good bet for the Automotive Design field and its not overly far away. Tuition and housing would run about $35-$40k a year, which would hopefully be covered by Financial Aid.
