today about 15 minutes before lunch, somebody pulled the fire alarm. so everyone had to leave the school. well luckily most of the classes cause you to go out the front main entrance of the school. into the teacher parking lot.

well i had the privilege to have my car park in handicap parkin right there with the teachers. i had a cast on my leg and my cripple pass goes untill the end of april =]. not to mention i started driving on saturday after 2 months.

anywayssss it was 23 degrees outside, without wind chill, adn there was a steady 5-10 mph wind chill going on. and everyone except me and 4 of my lucky friend was outside being miserable. we all loaded in my car and i got to blast my system and turn some heads. granet it's only a 12" Q sealed. but it does the job fairly well. and i put all of the windows 1/4 way down so everyone can enjoy my music.

+1 for sharing??

needless to say i got a bunch of jealous fingers.. and the administrators didn't like it too much. i talked to the principle after (she's really chill and laid back) she said that she wants a system like mine for her own car, and she was being completely serious. so i might be building a system for my principle here soon.

p.s. it was nice to show off after 2 months of MIA, plus i'm one of ehh 10 or so kids at my school with a decent system, i think i'm the only one without a RF/Alpine/Kicker/all other big [pathetic] name brands. and i think mine hits harder then theres of equal size. i can't wait to go ported next week!!!

no +1 for sharing, way to be a douche bag

i was sharing the music! and i can only fit so many people in my car. we even tried squeezing the sub that i had when teh fire drill went off in my car! he threatened my friend that if he didn't gtfo he was gonna tell the real teacher that he was swearing, cheating, throwing chit (yes he said chit), punched a whole in teh wall (the sub accidently put a hole in the wall during class =]).

but then the fire drill was over in the middle of his sentence

Howdy HoP!

I am not interested in a FWD piece either and never will be, hell I won't even let my wife get one.

[Acidburn 10]

especially in redneck-ville usa, good luck finding someone who knows how to fix it properly

I6 BM'ers are ultra easy to work on. Almost like they were engineered to be serviced. Getting parts for you might on the other hand be an overnight ordeal.

I dont know how reliable the new BMWs are...

my mom's 535 had to have the whole cylinder replaced after ~2 years and a few thousand miles

took the dealership 4 days too

you really think all those people not inside your car really wanted to hear your music?

I realllly don't like hearing other peoples music. I can deal with it in traffic when the person is passing by without to much of a problem, but when the vehicle is stationary and I can't move out of the range of hearing its a pain in the ass.

[topgun 262]

Ha! I finally remembered that turning the microwave and coffee pot on at the same time means a blown breaker...

[Adrian_D 520]

I just ran power and ground straight to the battery to get rid of my trying to find a damn wire...

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.

Although, to be fair, a lot of different models on sale from different manufacturers in the US offer "AWD", even though most of them operate in FF mode 90% of the time...

No AWD vehicle operates in front or rear drive. All wheels are always being driven, the ratios are simply mixed and with the computer controls now it's all done automatically. Granted, a lot of them are front biased, but unless you're racing the vehicle, it won't make any difference.

[topgun 262]

Debating at what time I should go into work at...

I'm turning into my boss, when he can't sleep he'll go into work early, he is there anytime between 5-7am.

[Tirefryr 1,742]

I am not interested in a FWD piece either and never will be, hell I won't even let my wife get one.

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

[Tirefryr 1,742]

Debating at what time I should go into work at...

Same here. It's a Kmart day and I hate Kmart. Nothing but idiots that come in there and the scenery sucks. My Sears time is best because in the late morning, the MILFs start pouring into the mall.

Not sure about the quattro in A4-A6-A8 (longitudinal engines). They use the mechanical central diff.

The transversal engine models use a Haldex or a Torsen IIRC and those are 90% FWD.

Kmart is just all sorts of failure... Milfs on the other hand... :bigclap:

Time to tear apart the lcd and try to fix it. Fun times

You guys doing anything for St. Patty's day? I'll probably hit the bars this evening, but that's about it.

Don't forget the BFH.

No BFH untill I know it's gone forever.

Backlight magically turned on when I tried to test it. Works without fixing anything. Must be some sort of cold solder in the inverter. Not going to open it up untill it acts up again.

This is quite a relief.

COnsidering I have some free time on my hands now...time to work on the amp rack / beauty panel.
