Welcome to the IHoP v.2

Recommended Posts

My wildcat doesn't handle, at all. But the 400+ lb/ft of torque makes for some interesting traction issues.

suv looking thing? I have traction issues in my vehicle also. Planning on selling it for something with even less traction though

Not an suv at all, 1965 Buick wildcat is akin to a full size Chevy impala, in all reality different soft parts and a more potent power train, but the frame and underpinnings are virtually the same.

I was hoping the Mustang would be a bit more aggressive looking. HUGE improvement IMO though and they ought to go fast easy.

The Wildcat is for sale by the way, if anyone is interested.  Easy restoration, and the brake issue would be fixed before sale.  I just haven't taken the time to finish checking wheel cylinders before just dropping the 40$ for a new master cylinder.

Ford seems to be putting that Aston Martin look to their whole line up. But if it got upwards of 450-500 hp I'd buy it if price is reasonable.

Sean, can you point me to some links on making your own sushi. I would give it a try at some point.

that's definately not a car you hear about everyday.

Links? Take fish, cut. Cook rice, fan cool it. Mix rice vinegar and some sugar together. Cut sweetened vinegar into rice. Make a rice ball, Pick up fish, dab on some wasabi and add the fish.

Budget is 550. I've been looking for a 13-14" laptop with a i5 or i7 (2nd gen or better and not a U version preferably). Under 1" less than 5lbs and either a onboard graphics card or DVD tray.

Have to find the right fish. Does it have to say sashimi grade?

I'm really drawn to Asus. Considering HP, Lenovo and Samsung as well.

That is more difficult. You need a good monger. I eat non-sashimi grade fish, but atm you shouldn't.

Speaking of horsepower. Anyone read the info on the new Gen Mustangs? The GT is gonna have more hp than this years and the ability to fit a 9.5 tire stock with the new rear end.

Might make for a nice high horse DD if they don't want an arm and a leg.

would be nice if they would just throw a 10.5" rim out back from the factory.

I have a Samsung and like it quite a bit. I have a Samsung cell also and use the "Allshare" feature quite a bit. I would really like to have an ASUS though. My brother has on and it is an absolute powerhouse!

Thank you Chill

 

And to Mkader, I was surprised to find that your requirements were so hard to meet. When I got my laptop last year, it seemed as if everything met those criteria.

 

Here is one I found so far.

And I'm open to tweeter recs. Going for $100-150 for the pair. Still have a deck, the bitTenD, and wiring but saving for those. The deck is the expensive part lol, just an Alpine cde-hd149bt.
