    Welcome to the IHoP

    I grilled chops last night I <3 my egg You bought one of these yet? They are finally going to release a plate for the C4 so I can finally get mine. I know its cheating, but making life easier is well worth the $250. Man I got one of those on your recomendation last year! Right now with no counters and the range out, it's all we have to cook on. For the first time in 4 years I have had a microwave in the house and used it. Just to boil or heat other things up. Grilling everynight right now. I just need top build a stand for it. Hunching over the thing all evening is a pain. And a great way to get smoke in your eye! =) Rock on, you never told me you got it. Dick This is true. I just talked about smokin. My wife loves you for the suggestion. As does my roomate.

    I can still hear a lot outside the car, even though, except the roof, all the panels are pretty dead Have you tried a foam material. I have no understanding of why, because from what I understand 90% of deadening is just adding mass, but layers of foam on the roof made it sound so much more dead than just the deadener. I wish I would have put expanding foam in the supports before I put sheets of foam over the supports, but it really made a huge difference. I can't tell you why, but it made some kind of difference for me, in a big way on the roof. You need a barrier, not just a damper. The damper helps with stopping resonances, but a barrier can actually block sound. Aluminum backed vinyl is great for this. I'm confused though, why then would the ensolite even make a difference? The RAAM (aluminum butyl(?)) worked, but the ensolite foam made nearly the same (perceived) difference. I may just be understanding it wrong, and more hearing what I want to for all the work I did. =) My Expy doors are horrible to get the outer skin dampened. I would have to cut metal. I hope when I just deaden the inside skin it's enough.

    That is always interesting. Untill I found my wife, the parents always liked me better than the daughters did. =) I was one hell of an upstanding young man.

    Welcome to the IHoP

    Cali, congrats. Also I feel quite a bit different about most cars in general... Not only am I tall I'm wide. 50-55+ in sports coats depending on cut. I still can't move my arms in them either. It's not really my gut either. It's all about if my legs fit side to side, and if the b pillar is in the way or not. Example is the Benz CLS. Their "4 door coupe" Roomy enough, but I cannot get in or out of it at all and when I do get in, my left shoulder is jammed against the B pillar area. Same problem in the A 4 from audi or the CLK. All should be ok, but at not. The worst was when I was in a Big Tahoe, and the b pillar made me lean into the cabin. I will say that VW does a good job. The new beatle is a pretty comfy ride. It just sucks, or else I may have purchased one back when I was in the market for a car. I loved my old jetta save the every other week electrical failures.

    I wish I would have taken better measurements. We didn't have an accurate SPL meter to measure knocking on the roof without and then with the foam. Our ears told us more, it's hard to get any readings next to a busy street.

    Look at it this way, when you deaden your vehicle, it will sound better. Quite possibly louder inside too. I have only done the roof of my truck, and my rear cargo area, not even the rear door in my expedition, and I already have better bass response. The only thing not stock is my head unit. If you buy RAAM it will almost garunteed be cheeper than what you have spent on your system currently.

    Welcome to the IHoP

    I have found several compacts that are very fun to drive, especially given their power-to-weight ratio. The only thing I've ever dislike was the torque steer.l Yeah, and me and compacts go hand in hand. Nothing quite like a car you put on instead of getting into. x2 In not as tall I don't this as Sean, but I'm a great big huge and currently really fat guy, and my shoulders are so wide that the B pillar in most vehicles is horrible. And the panel that houses the console etc, on the right of your legs, litteraly will bruise my shin/leg from normal driving. When my truck was down I drove the wifes cobalt for the week and car pooled. I lost 90% of the hair on the right side of my shin and calf. Damn nordic genes makes everything wide.

    I'm so pissed off. I've spent SO MUCH MONEY these last 10 months....... I really need my lawyer to come through. We file in federal court soon, probably have a good chance of winning against the insurance company just so long as the case is not dismissed. I could really use 30-50k right now.

    Welcome to the IHoP

    For the win. I did the same for positive. Ground...I used a bolt on the floor. MK4 Golf and 1999+ Passat both have a big fuse box under the dash and the power wire is attached to the fuse box with a ring terminal. Red wire to the 880 for me too. Stupid clump of wires in the truck. Everytime I hooked a ground or hot to the receiver it would magicaly loose it's current. I got pissed and just hard wired it.

    AMG E55 ^Not even right. CPO, double moonroof. My friends will torment me every chance they get. That's a good deal for anyone looking for a mid sized sedan at around 30k
