Ok, if I can't always exactly rev match when I shift, is it better to have the rpm's too high or too low. Example: I want to shift into 3rd at 40mph from 4th, should I blip the throttle higher than the rpms it will be at in 3rd, or let the synchro's do it and just shift?

I was in the car with my friend when he hit a parked car. He was driving a Grand Cherokee and smashed this escort. His had maybe a cracked bumper, but he went and up to the house and told some girl that he smashed an escort. turned out it was her car and she was very upset and crying. But she...

You can do some things, but you will be really limiting the number of jobs available to you without at least a BS. Of course it all depends on what you want to do. Without work experience, you may have trouble getting your foot in the door with an AS. Don't expect to lead projects, but you...

Yeah, I did an internship at GE, they are in the process of moving more and more software development to India. Maybe you shouldn't focus on software. I changed my major to EE from CSE and now I study electromagetics and signals. Wireless systems,RF,antenna engineers are still in plenty demand...

Oh no, the crappiest paint was on my old car, a Chevy Corsica. That thing peeled like crazy. I guess there was some kind of defect in the paint and it affected a lot of Corsica's. And it got all mottled and spotted too like it had been acid rained on. In comparison, I love the paint on my pro.

Free Matty? I've been gone for awhile, what is "Free Matty" and "Stay Ghost" all about? And oh yes, congrats, and hope your herd has fun when they come to the Shoe to take on the Buckeyes this year.

Technically there are an infinite number of answers unless you have a restricted interval. If it is something like 0-2pi, then you'll have pi/3 and 5pi/3 as solutions.

I've never really considered myself a bodykit type of person, but seeing that 3 sedan changed my mind!

Yeah, you guys make good points. I guess I was just all biased since my protege has been great for me. I'll stop harassing him for the Mazda and just let him decide on their merits.

wtf, how can you just ban an engine like that? If it has its merits, why not let them be demonstrated, thats bs. It doesn't have the interest of the consumer or advancement of cars at heart.

Ok. My friend is either going to get a Ford Focus SVT or a Mazda 3. Personally I like the styling on the 3 better, and the s trim seems to be about equivalent on performance and cheaper. So I tell him 3, but he doesn't know if he wants to buy a first year model. What do you guys think of...

Just curious what everyone would prefer. High-revving hp and little mid-range torque like an s2000 or lower-revving engines with mid-range torque like a 350z? I've only ever driven these 4-bangers, and was thinking about getting a larger engine for my next car, even though I like the 3. Not...

Consistent brands I also think consistent brands are good, but I never really had any reason to think so. It was just a hunch. I always use Mobil 1 and Shell gas. No Chevron where I live. I did put a bottle of techron concentrate into my old crappy corsica and the fuel pump died...

Boo UM. At least in wasn't a blow out. I was afraid when it started out 28-7. I hope USC loses so you can play them in Rose Bowl, that would be an excellent game. I don't know where OSU will end up now, it doesn't really matter anymore, all of our hopes and dreams are shattered.

Boy that sucks. Our offense actually scores 3 touchdowns and then our defense sucks it up. Why is Gamble so great? He got burned by Lee Evans of Wisconsin and now Braylon Edwards. Maybe the Michigan offense really is just that good. Oh and Braylon, yes everyone doubted you, Michigan was...

ha. well i guess Ann Arbor is ok except once every other year. nah, i actually like to see UM do well except when they play us. I loved watching the 4th quarter come back they had against Minnesota. It's hard to shake all those seasons UM spoiled in the 90's for us, I just want a little...

It's almost here! Buckeyes 31 M*ich*gan 27. Ann Arbor is a *****.

Yep. Bucks are a mentally tough team. You have to be tough to pull out so many close ones. And its that mental toughness that wins big games. And OSU has won some really, really, really big games. 35-28 OSU OT(of course)

you know what's funny about Miami(OH) is that they are I think only 2-3 spots behind Miami(FL) in BCS. I think it would be great if Miami of Ohio was the best Miami team this year. I was impressed with the way they shut down Bowling Green. No shame in losing season opener to Hawkeyes. Oh and...

Hey ToBeBackDoc, what happened to Marshall yesterday against Miami(of Ohio)?! Nah, just playin, Miami is good but not that much better than Marshall. The Herd must have played bad.
