Well actually, my country is fucked up like that. It's NOT forbidden to roll back your odometer.
[QUOTE=DPKiller;51734629]I think that only lasted me a week or so with my audi. What would happen to me mainly was I would get nervous and my foot would violently twitch but mentally I was not.... nervous. That took about 3months to get over weirdly enough. I was in only 1 accident, woman pulled out infront of me wile I was towing a enclosed trailer behind my audi. Audi's arn't towrigs no stoping power for trailer. I slit the diffrence between the 18-wheeler that was parked in the emergency lane and her. The audi sqeeeeezed but the trailer fenders did not. Her bumper came off and flew into oncoming traffic. No damage to my trailer. It was my birthday I think.[/QUOTE] I didn't floor my Integra for months, I drove it like a grandma. Funnily enough after I got in a quad accident and smashed myself up a little when I could drive again in a few months it wasn't long before I punched it to the floor getting on the highway and found I had already been giving it a solid 80-90%. I was sort of disappointed that day :v: Now if I drive either of my cars WOT is reached at least once since they're both slow as shit and drive happiest winding out to at least 4-5k. I need to get something faster or make one of them a hell of a lot faster someday. Waiting on an email response from a company though, gonna pick up something for the Civic that costs more than I paid for it! Really psyched, hope they get back to me on which I should get.

I've calmed down in recent years as I've gotten older. I only ever got into one accident that I actually reported, when fucking todd harrell's doped up ass ran me off the road and left the scene. he got arrested a few days later for being doped up while driving again and killing someone, so I got off pretty lucky. of course being that he didn't actually collide with me, just ran into my lane giving me no safe route out other than up a curb, my insurance didn't pay for it. luckily geo suspension parts are cheap and plentiful. I'd have just taken the hit if I was in my truck but no I had to be driving my metro that day, and his big ass suv would have murdered me. other "accidents" have basically just been me being a dumbass and pushing shopping carts out of the way with my vehicle or backing into poles that were too short to see in my truck.

I ought to roll up the odometer in my truck. I have no plans to sell it and don't think it's gonna make it past 450k or so anyway
Had a dream that lamborghini made a v12-powered wagon out of the Aventador successor Then I woke up and returned to our cruel, boring world of Chevy Aveos and GMC arcadias

Actually now im wondering if i could make my own horn with a 65w pa speaker, amp, and little audio board. I really want the war rig horn, but unfortunately it was probably made in the sound lab in post production. Would 65 watts be lound enough to be used as a horn?
Most PA/Air Horns use 100 Watt speakers like mine. I can get you a part number if you want. It's not super unreasonably loud, but it's enough to get attention.
That would be sweet, thanks

I saw that car 2 weeks ago, the person I buy my carbon stuff from bought the car. Had damage to the front left. Couldn't hear it run as the engine was out. It's actually a 4 cilinder 2 litre engine, the yearly revision costed them 50k :v:

You will need a driver to generate the tone. I have a Whelen CenCom Gold, but that's probably too much for you, it's a full siren/pa/lighting controller with remote amplifier. You could poke around some supply places like Galls, LA Police Gear, and CHIEF for a simple air horn driver, but I encourage you to poke around for demo videos - a lot of off-brand drivers have really shitty sounding horns. Otherwise, you could always DIY. A simple square wave will do ya.
[QUOTE=Zombii;51738000]eGT is pretty cool, but didn't they recently announce they were changing from P85s to P100Ds?[/QUOTE] Yeah. Not sure when that will happen though. The one in the videos is still clearly an older model.
Warranty finally expired on my transmission work. Immediately took the drain plugout to check the condition of the gear oil and level. Empty. For fucks sake. He replaced all the seals in that thing [i]TWICE[/i]. I'm positive at this point there's a hairline crack somewhere.

I wish I had a train horn in the Miata. Driving back to work from lunch today and some high school kid on the median looks both ways, sees my bright red car coming at him in the closest lane, and decides it's the best time to sprint across the street.
