actually, the first season for it ended a few weeks ago. Funny series, one of the few made-for-US ones that I like, megas XLR being the first.

just funnin' with y'all. My LeBaron's fated to die at the local 1/2 mile short track in a few months once I have the Yaris....
-
NOOOOOO!!! it died!!!
well, gimmie a few months and it'll be that '07 Toyota Yaris I posted a pic of.
anybody know if there are any REALLY good mods for the Yaris/Vitz?
-
I'm 2 months shy of 21, so I picked it.

truely sad indeed.
sorry to change the subject, but I found what I think will be my first new car!
the 2007 Toyota Yaris
too bad it isn't RWD, and the styling is starting to grow on me.
-
the main character's name is Lightning, oh yeah! (he's voiced by Owen Wilson too, it's bound to be funny)
-
after reading four pages........i not so sure.
thank you azrael, I now have a new sig.
-
I'm surprised none of the VF-4 fans have spoken up yet. Guess I'll be the first! Besides the VF-4, I also love the VF-9's gerwalk mode makes it seem even more badass-looking
-
thank you! that's what it was called! I totally forgot.....silly me.
-
used to watch it A LOT back with it was the aviation channel, i just lost interest I guess.

go fig, lol.

after being interested in rally racing for so long, I'm gonna finally take the first step towards actually doing it. Later this year I hope to be doing some SCCA RallyCross-ing.
I'm gonna take some kinda RWD Mopar RALLY RACING! it turns out after checking the rule books for SCCA Rallycross and Rally America, I can "legally" put a 383 into the LeBaron (or any other classic Mopar).
they have a displacement formula that they use to make sure everything's kosher within the rally world, turns out the FIA uses it too.
the limit is 5100cc, but they use a multiplier based on the type of engine it is.
for turbo/supercharged engines its the displacement x 1.8, for pushrods it's 0.8
so I found a site that did displacement conversions, and a 383 is 6274cc. 6274 x .8 = 5019cc!
so once I get the car prepped, the rally world can once again hear some Mopar big block thunder!
EDIT: the car's still gonna be used for drifting and auto-x-ing too, I just need an "all-around" oriented car.

Hmm, some classic lines I could throw in before this thread closes:
"Stealth!"
"Please bang anus please!"
"Mac 7 is teh ghey and Basara loves teh weiner!"
"Kawamori needs to redesign the VF-1 because it is old and does not look like my drawing of an ultimate valkyrie and I am 5 and I love candy."
"They need to make a sequel about Rick, Lisa and the SDF-2!"
*laughs*
But if I recall, Basara actually loves Oscar Mayer weiner...
actually, isn't it weiners? he was always eating two of them in the same bun, even when he ate after mylene....

A couple problems with current VTOL aircraft is ground erosion and over-heating. A gerwalk VF would almost certainly have a problem with ground erosion. The Harrier jump-jet can only hover for at most a couple of minutes because the engine gets very hot while its doing that - in fact, Harriers carry a supply of water with which to cool the engine down.
learn something new every day.

that looks awesome....

I think it is only for a limited time?
Like we see Roy hovering in battroid mode in macross zero while looking for nora. But I don't think you can 'fly' in that mode at a decent speed. Just sort of float. Just seems like a waste of energy (especially for the vf0 which needs fuel and given that it is heavier compared to a vf1)
I still want to know how the VB6 is supposed to take off with no landing gear? Is it launched similar to how the VF1 is launched into space using that truck and an extra booster atached to its rear end? (I can see it landing in gerwalk but what about take off? It just hovers and then transforms while in midair like the vf1 right?)
I can see it now.....a huge truck piggybacking a VB6 with a giant rocket attached to it, lol.

I seriously wish they'd port the title to the X-box. There's no good fighter games out there for it, Crimson Skies was too arcadey and waay worse than the PC's version.
Anyways, I'll probably still buy ACZero anyway.

That's a Chevorlet for you, always breaking something.

that's true, but is it so hard to properly incorporate the two? I mean if you're going to show an engine shot of the Eclipse at least have a turbo in there, and if you've shifted into first gear once, there's no point in doing it twice.Â
It's not the action that ruins the movie, it's the details. I got the same experience from this that i got from a Rambo movie as a kid: Fast and the Furious gets you caught up in the action of it all but once the movies over, or you go to watch it again you laugh and point at all the inconsistencies. Much like how Rambo never reloads, or will have an injury in one scene and then the next scene he'll be perfectly fine. It's fun to watch, but would have satisfied the technical nut in you if they just put two seconds worth of effort into the material; it's as if they finished the movie and didn't watch it themselves.
EDIT: I forgot to add "I agree"

I guess my chrysler would be classified as one of the "gangster boats", eh?
-
there's a few other muscle cars in it too, and my Mustang friend nearly cried bloody murder when I dug up the pic with the '67 that had the RB26 in it.
you can find the link for the trailer here.

Who Honestly Likes The Gerwalk Mode Of Their Vf's?

you'd be surprised, I've heard of some weird stories coming out of there...
