Welcome to the IHoP

The wake I went to on sunday was wore than when my mom passed away. After everything and then the bar when I got home I was just so drained I couldn't think move or do anything. I fell asleep with 1 sock on half on the bed. The thought I was in such rough shape she just fell asleep on the couch thinking she didn't want to wake me.

When General Motors announced its post-bankruptcy turnaround plan, one of the more obscure items in its strategy was to sell vehicles through eBay Motors. That plan goes into action tomorrow, as 225 of GM's 250 California dealerships begin piloting the program.

Under the program, GM will sell Chevrolet, Pontiac, GMC and Buick models on the popular auction site, with the transaction being handled by a nearby dealership. Some of the auctions will be held with a bottom line "buy it now" price, while others will be bid-style sales. Car buyers will also be able to ask dealers questions through the site and work out financing online, without having to deal with anyone in person. The pact with eBay includes two new URLs to access the GM portal of eBay Motors, as customers can enter through gm.ebay.com and chevy.ebay.com (both inactive until tomorrow). Customers can also access deals through the main eBay site.

While GM's company-wide involvement in the program is new, dealership participation in eBay Motors auctions has been going on for years. The pact between GM and eBay will add functionality to the process, though, while giving dealers a greater online presence. Suspiciously absent from the program is GM's Cadillac brand. We don't know exactly why GM chose not to include its luxury arm in the eBay auctions, but we suspect that the decision has something to do with giving customers a more premium, coddled car-buying experience. The trial program is reportedly set to expire on September 8.

There's an intruder in the group !

And that intruder is the only somewhat decent looking car in that group. Nice scenery though. Where did you drive to Tom?

We took the Beeline Highway up to Payson then on to Flagstaff to have lunch at Snowbowl. Then we came home along 89A through Oak Creek Canyon and Sedona.

Still can't tell the quality, just current encoding.

Take a 128k and convert it to 320k, Audacity will tell you it is 320 when in reality it is a 128.

Can audacity do that in a large quantity of files? I still can't find the program I was thinking of

Not sure in that I've never used Audacity. I did do some file uncompressing so that I could do some blind A/B comparisons though

What are those 2 hoses that come from the lower part of the engine ? Power steering fluid ?

I can still claim my TOP from yesterday!

SLOW HOP TOP

wow, indeed

[///M5 2,833]

Hey dB any reason to get the CyberQ instead of the DigiQ? Computer control sounds neat, but not so sure I "need it"

[Acidburn 10]

They connect the water pump to the heater core

You live in AZ and need heat??

It's extra engine cooling

Turn the heater to max and cool the water in the heater core

Oh that's right it is a GM. An inefficient engine cooler DOES make sense

Wanted to throw a question out to the hoppers see if you guys have any info. We are looking for a CVT clutch for our mini baja project and I am trying to find the right one. I am looking at the P-90 Polaris clutch because I know how to tune them, but am also looking at the Comet 700 Series clutches because they are reliable and may be lighter. You guys have any experience with other CVT manufacturers?

Also I am interested in shaving some weight off some clutches if possible. Since the bike is running in a low RPM, low torque situation it seems I may be able to shed some uneccesary weight. Do you guys think any local places could re-balance the CVT when we are done shaving weight?

Just got a lot of ideas running through my head and I need to memory dump.

To all you late-nighters, might want to watch the meteor shower tonight. If it weren't for the dumb moon being so bright tonight it should be one of the most spectacular shows of the year or maybe of the last couple. Should be the best between about 12-5am.

Woah the lady's uncle just became the US ambassador to China.
