COD: Black Ops
I don't know why I hate it. I played battle field two a few years ago on the pc and loved it. So I figured I would give this game a shoot. I look how the guns have recoil and what not. But i should not take more then one shot to the head with a ak 47 to kill some one. I never got online munch. I bought the game used so the code as been used before i bought it. I cant up date any thing with out a new code. I will not pay 10 dollars for a new code. The few times I did play it online. Seemed like the maps were a huge and not many people on. There was on time were I went a hole game with out seeing any one.

Is it normal...
I am 25 and still do not do that. I have a 30 year old cousin that still say uncle what ever. Most of my family is at or over the 15 year old mark. They still also say uncle or aunt. I was taught at a young age to say aunt or uncle in front of there name. To me it all comes down to respect. Ever try to call your mom, dad, or grandparents by there first name when you not joking. You don't because of respect. If you do I am sure you would get smacked. I was raised by a guy who for 12 years was dad to me. Once i got to finally be around my real father I still called the other guy dad. Last time I saw him I still called him dad. He had no problem with me calling him randy. But I never could. Even to this day when me and his son my half brother are together I still refer to him as dad. So to me it all comes down to respect.

Reason enough to shop at Sears.
My grandpa worked there for years. He has nothing bad to say about them at all. I heard this a long time ago. I didn't know if it was true or not. I also don't have nothing bad to say about sears. I can go in the and get good info about what i am looking at. I don't think I have ever walked in one and asked about some thing and gotten we don't know. There was also once were I was looking for some thing. They didn't have the big enough air compressor I was looking for. I was told to give this shop a call. Not many place's do that any more. I even bent a 3/4 drive socket extension once with a impact gun. No questions asked.

Best college bowl game
The rose bowl. I know I am a Badgers fan. But I heard TCU has been favored to win. I have a feeling the bcs championship game will be a blow out. I am not a auburn fan. But the ducks can't hold a candle to them. If its not a blow out it would shock me.

The new flagship Lamborghini LP700-4 is coming. :)
What no real gear box. That is really the only thing making me mad about sports cars today. There all going to the dumb automatic transmissions. I know that paddle shifters are not a automatic. If I had a car like that or any super car I would want a clutch and a stick next to my knee. Nothing beats pounding through the gears around a race track, or on a windy road.

I don't do drugs or alcohol
I can understand why some people don't do drugs or drink. If you chose not to drink or do drugs that's your choice. I Don't push any one to do any thing. If I am around a buddy and I am drinking a beer. I will offer him one. If he don't want it that's his choice. If he clean from booze I wont drink in front of him. I have tired pot once in my life. I took one hit and it felt like I was going to hack up a lung. I was like 16 at the time. I haven't touched it since. Both my parents did drugs. My dad smoked pot in till the day he died. No his death was not drug related. I saw what drugs did to my family. I remember moving around a lot because my mom couldn't pay the bills. I am sure it was because of drugs. I have a buddy that dose drugs from time to time. He don't care if I do them or not. He knows I make the choice to do them or not. I don't care if he dose them or not its there life not mine. As for booze. I will buy a case of beer and it will last months. If I do go out I leave the keys on my dresser and call a cab. Yea I call a cab to get me to the bar. I then don't have to worry about thinking about driving. I am not a heavy drinker by any means. There are just times were you have one to many. I don't care what a person choices to put in there body. I don't want to sound like some a hole here. But there are other things that I enjoy more then getting drunk or high. Most of it requires a car. You cant be high or drunk to enjoy that. I caught my first muskie this spring. It was about 45in. I caught it on 12 lb mono no steel leader. I hooked in to it at about 9 am. I don't think I made more then about 50 more cast for the rest of the day. I guess it was kind of a high.

COD: Black Ops
This post is the main reason why I haven't bought it yet. I still might not buy by. I have read a few reviews from game sites. They all give it like a perfect score. I am kind of also on the fence about gt5 because of bad player reviews. I have battle field 2 bad company. For some reason I don't like it as munch. I really don't know why. I ran across some thing on game informer web site. I find it funny as heck. It was about what people say and do online. Last time I played on line there was a kid that kept singing through the game. This is a pg13 vid also. So if the mods want to delete it go ahead.

Any one use these tire?
I am running the Summitomos of some sort right now. I have liked them so far. There is only a few things I don't like about them. They take for ever to get some heat in them. The wet traction in the temps are any were from 40-60 sucks. Other then that there ok. I have only hydroplaned once with them. They do have good traction in the wet and dry.

Yea its a Quaife lsd. The right tire really only dose that when I have to make tight right hand turns. It also don't help that its the drive wheel. The same will happen with the left wheel from time to time. But I never have to make as sharp of turns left as I do right. Due to first gear having a lot of torque I take off from second a lot of time because of the wheel spin. It also don't help the car has no turning radius. I am not kidding. I cant make a u turn unless I am in the far right lane when I start it. When I pull on a side road to take a leak it takes like a 5 pt turn to turn my car around on a two lane road. If I pull out I have to make sure both lanes of traffic are clear. I have to make wide turns. It could also be I need a new wheel aliment. Last year when I had one done almost all the wheels were almost within tolerance. The right front was the one way off. Maybe the tire was bad before and I just don't remember. I also haven't hit any thing other then pot holes from time to time. As for the lsd going out I don't think its that. I have no problem on ice, snow and rain so far. The rooster tail of snow and rain coming off the left wheel is as big as the right side. Yea I can see them driving. The rooster tails come to my side view mirrors. I don't notice the left munch unless I am in snow. There are times when I first got the car I question the lsd going out. Taking off from first gear the the torque steer is bad. But I read unless a car has equal length axles its near impossible to get rid of it. You can see the axle's are two different length's when its on a lift. like I said First gear has a lot torque. If I do it in second gear I don't notice it at all. If I do take off in first it's not that munch. Its just a little.

I was thinking about Toyo's yesterday. The only ones that will fit my car are the are the Proxes t1r. I haven't heard nothing bad about toyo tires in the past. I was looking at my summer tires yesterday. By the looks of one tire I am going to get one more summer out of my tires. If your wondering why I have one bad tire. I don't even know why. I can only think of one thing. I have a feeling that it was the front right wheel. On right turns the wheels spins a bit in till the lsd kicks in.

Very Cool Video Game
I have see a lot of them type of Simulator's like that. They seem cool but they don't seem life like. To me ones like that would work better with flight sims. Here's one that is like a lot of top racing team around the world use.

Yea I just put on the snow tires the other day. I run them first snow to mid April. We have gotten a few snow storms in April. So I wait in till the highs are in the 40-50 before I take them off. I also don't want to start a tire war. I know both of them are good. I have heard nothing really bad with both tires. The only problem I with Michelin's is back in 05. The f1 race at indy the tires were junk. ;D Just google 05 f1 indy tire problems. Yea I know I wont be going 200 mph, or will I be putting the g forces on the tires they do. I will not let tires made for f1 racing effect me buying a brand.

You know you are not the first person I have heard that they don't last for long from. I might buy a set for auto crossing. But right now I am looking at a set of hoosier's for auto cross. I was looking at the prices of Falken tires and I could get a set for as little as 400. They had some tires that maybe went up to 600 a set. Here's my view I could spend 800 on the Bridgestone's and not have to buy again for 4-6 years if not a little longer. If the Falken tires only last a couple of summers why bother. It don't add up for me. Spend 800-1200 dollars on tires in four years, or buy the Bridgestone's once in the same time span. I am not to tuff on my tires. Just once and a while I like to open it up and have fun. I do take care of my tires for the most part.

Ok thanks I was looking at the Pirelli's but stoped as soon as I saw the price. The cheapest I saw was 900 dollars for a set. I don't run on the track yet. But I plan on doing some autocross this summer. I would rather have some other tires for that though. I would consider my self a normal driver at times. Then there are times were I find a windy road. Let me tell you this the boost gauge will hold at a steady 15psi on them roads. Yea I like to have fun from time to time on roads.

What made you never want to buy Michelin's Michelin's? I am guessing you had some sort of problem.

Any one use these tire?
I was looking there. I looked at all the of the Bridgestone reviews. I also looked some of the 1000 reviews of the Michelin tires. To me They seem like 40,000-60,000 mile tires if taken care of. I am weary of reviews on sites that are selling things I am looking at. For some reason I don't think all them reviews are from real people. That's why I asked here.

I am looking at getting a new set of tires for summer. My current tires are running a little low on tread. I think I can get one more summer out of them. If I bought them this summer It would be just in case some thing happens. The tires I am looking at are Bridgestone Potenza RE-11 and Michelin MichelinPilot Sport PS2. Both of them are pretty close in every thing they tested them in. They are also almost the same price. The Michelin's have a better wet ride then the Bridgestones. Michelin's also have a little better ride comfort. To me that really don't matter. I drive with my window down almost all the time. As for comfort I have a low pro tire now with stiff shocks. So Yea I can deal with a stiff ride. I have Bridgestone blizaks for winter. I feel in love with them last winter. It feels like I have awd with them on. Even my buddy's that drive my car during the winter love them. What I can figure out Bridgestone says it is a 205-45-17 tire and will fit a 6.5-7.5 wide rim. My stock tires are 205-50-17 and a 6 in wide rim. So why dose Bridgestone say these wont fit a 6 in wide rim? I have only run a set of Michelin's and my grandma runs them also. My grandma has been running them for as long as I remember. They look like there brand new yet. Even on my car after like 5 years they looked brand new. I can't compare them to these tire though. Those tires were all season. The tires I am looking at are summer only tires. So if any one has run these tires let me know. I want to know the good and bad of booth tires.

Thanks for the laugh. I am guessing you have lived out west your whole life. It seems like here in WI we will get a few days to a few weeks of negative temps for highs during the winter. The coldest that I remember was -35 or -40 a few years ago. I can tell you this The clutch and five speed felt like a rock. I even let my car warm up for about half a hour.- 24*
You know that's one of the reasons my buddy loves the summer up here. I have to agree with him on that. But right now its 18 degrees out.- 24*
Yea I would to move down south. I just cant right now due to my family that needs me. Don't get me wrong I don't mind the cold. Its the snow I hate.- 24*
For some reason I don't feel sorry for you guys down south and out west when it gets a little cold. Right now its 25 out side with a few inches of snow from the first snow of the year. Tomorrow is a high of 18 and a low of 11 here. So yea it might be cold for a few days out west. At lest in a few days it will be back to sun and warmth. We have three months of this stuff yet.- Video: Luca di Montezemolo drives the New Stratos
Well I will admit I am not book smart. I am more a street smart guy. There is nothing I love more then cars. So I course I will love Euro cars. American cars cant hold a candle to whats over the pond. The engineering that gos in them cars just makes me say wow. They some how get 500 hp out of a small 4 litter v-8 engine is amazing. The new corvette is over 6 litters and they can only get like 500 hp. For crying out loud the Porsche gt3 rs makes almost 500 hp and that's a 3.6 litter flat six. I love how them cars all sound over there. Any time I hear a Ferrari, Lambo, Porsche drive by on video It gives me chills and other things. Same with a good sounding American car. I could be with the hottest girl in the world, and I will still look away when a nice sounding v8 drives by. I guess I say I have a love for exotic cars. I keep telling my buddy's one day I will own my Porsche or Ferrari There like yea right. So I respond like yea when I get it I will make sure to pull in your drive way at the crack of dawn on a Saturday. After we go out drinking, and rev it up and peel out on you drive way. I have never been a fan of Lambo's to munch. I really don't like how they look. There have been a few models that I have liked but I cant remember what they were called. Speaking of Lambo's I might have found the one your looking for. The best part is at 1:18 to about 1:25. As for the guys that don't know munch about racing out side of the states. This is the first Strato's was known for. Yes I know I wasn't born when the car was racing. But it had some amazing stats for the short time it raced.- Video: Luca di Montezemolo drives the New Stratos
I saw that car on a racing forum a few months back. It looks like the first car from the 70s. From what I understand they are only going to make like 200 of them. I have heard a few prices all of them well into six figures. So you going to buy one red line? To me it seems a little weird hearing a Ferrari engine coming from a car that don't look like one. Yea I know Lancia is owned by Fiat and Fiat owns Ferrari. From what I under stand they took a Ferrari f430 and put a Stratos Body on it. - 24*
