    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    Are you guy's getting hit with 45 mph winds and -35 degrees wind chill also? Atleast we have good weather here I had to go pick up some part for the Jeep 30 miles away. Took the hardtop off the Miata and drove topless. Even found an iced parking lot so I could do topless donuts. And I got to drive an off-road buggy powered by a vw tdi. It was a hoot, lots of power, geared low, it would kill the Miata on the first 200 feet.

    I have the most horrible luck with cars. Alternator stopped charging on the way home from the ski trip. I had the wall charger with me so we drive, stop for charging, drive again. After a 1 hour charge I decide to step up from going 70 mph to going 85 since I had a limited supply of current. Bam, viscous water heater clutch goes, it starts to get chewed by the pulley, molten plastic flying everywhere under the good and smells horrible. Ok, back to 60-65 to keep the revs down and wait until there's no more clutch to burn. To save current I took out the right side low-beam bulb and all the extra parking lights the previous owner installed in the taillights, dimmed all the lights, music off, heater off. This time I got home on my own power.

    I was very very tempted to drive the Jeep through the snow but with austrian rules I think I would've gotten a fine. I did get snow in my wheels, which froze and I had a nice shimmy when going faster than 60 mph.

    You should've seen what was in Austria last week on the company ski trip. 3 feet of snow everywhere where it wasn't compacted for ski / sleddog tracks.

    I expected some lunatic in a Miata. I'd do it. I've driven the Miata in a blizzard and it was fun.
  9. Introducing the SSA sound pressure meter, SSA APM-1. It is the same product as we were showing prototype videos and pictures of, AccuWave APM-1, but this is the actual product. In the North American market it will be sold under the SSA name. They will be available for purchase very soon in the SSA store, all depending on transit time from Europe to the US Battery powered, Android software is already available on PlayStore (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wpd.splmeter&hl=en) and were are constantly updating it. Video showing the first connection with the meter and a comparison with the TermLab:

    My French is horrible but after a few days I could probably ask where I can find a toilet

    Paris or Prague...which one to pick this year? hmmmm I'd have to drive to Prague, so that means killing some hours. There are other choices as well, but those three cities are MUST do's before you get too old to enjoy them. If we could include Asia there are even more options, but I'd start with Europe. Obviously. Prague is close, I'm curious. Paris is for a bit later. I still want to visit Vienna in winter, Budapest, Bratislava. Plenty left. And plane tickets are cheap

    We have actually been talking of opening A bar/restaurant up here,Sports bar ect... I'm not sold on it yet as they wan't to keep it the sports bar get-up and they are bunch around here,And I have watched several go under! Location, Food & Beverage first. Sports, meh. I hope that craze dies. 8 million tv's everywhere is putrid. Not saying all of them should leave as I don't mind a bar for sporting events, but the combo bars trying to appeal to both can bite me. Shut the damn idiot boxes OFF. Yea they are wanting me to invest in a hot wings sports bar..We have a boatload around here....And several that has wen't under last year..I'm not gonna bite I don't think.. Hot wings hooters sports bar This is getting stereotypical

    I'm not waiting for gas prices to go up. Historically over here every time gas prices went up a large majority of other prices went up. So when they will go back up we're not only going to take a hit on gas prices.

    Today I found the courage to cut up my 1 din adapter for the new Jeep, in order to fit the Note 2. Things got out of hand and as soon as we're done with engraving APM cases, it's time to CNC something to make my hack look pretty. Amps are on their way, now I only need nice weather to start the install.

    I promised somebody I'll take better pics of my HU. Camera is in the garage, old Jeep is outside. No way I'm going out in this cold.

    They can suck a big fat dick. We're finally hovering around $1.5 / liter. Hey, some people here complained that the new city buses are painted half-purple. Like I'd fucking care if a bus is purple or not...

    Maybe you would like to post this on your site so they could be more than 2 sections to search...Never buy a used sub! That was uncalled for. Take a chill pill.

    Post dumping example: I list my old Alpine HU for sale, one guy says it looks very used (pictures taken under a powerful light to show everything), 3 say they bought another one for far less money but they did not notice I'm selling it with the Ipod adapter and the price is not fixed and another says it's stolen. Really, STOLEN? This is a new low for post dumping.

    I payed for an order to RockAuto on Thursday, package should be here tomorrow. Shipping was only $8 more than USPS. Pretty damn quick. Also shipping for the new amps is $58, I can't wait to order them, PPI i520.4 and i350.2. Tiny and plenty of power
