[QUOTE=Ever Hernandez;2155680]I watched both movies, Hitman and Beowulf. I must admit I wasn't expecting much from either one, but each had their moments.

I like hitman because I just like any shoot 'em up movie that includes, hand combat, sexy women, cool cars and some comedy thrown in the mix.

Beowulf, I watch on Imax 3D, so I was pretty cool to watch.
QUOTE]

Saw Beowulf in 3D a couple of weeks ago and it was good. I have no idea about what Hitman is about because I haven't heard about it.

LOL blasphemy, you mean? and what's blasphemous about saying that hitman wasn't all that great? it doesn't mean that it wasn't good at all, it's just not that great...

dick, how much do I owe you for the anodizing? do you want the rear bumper still? I'm putting my stock rear bumper back on.

...btw, anybody know a good bodyshop that can repaint an entire car for a good price?

Dude, go watch it! I wouldn't recommend it like say, American Gangster; but it's cool to watch regardless

welcome d j. I know how hard it can be to find a good shop and they were the end result of a lot of calls and a lot of visits to shops.


fyi... these are the largest domesticated house cats http://www.savannahcat.com/public/index.php

Holy crap.

So I'm omw to Hayward Mazda when my tire loses pressure. I call Mazda Roadside assistance, and the guy gets lost twice and takes 3 hours to get to me. He tows my car to Hayward Mazda, then charges me $50 for the xtra 6 miles he took. I'm already home by this point and completely exhausted so I just agree and pay. This morning I go to the dealership, and I find that the motherfucking tow truck driver scraped my r/r wheel when he unloaded it. There's a HUGE gash in the wheel now.

The dealership said that there is a chance that because of all my aftermarket mods that the issue with the starter/heater/grinding might not be covered by my warranty. And to top it off I have to replace the tire, and call the tow company and bitch at them to pay for the repairs to my wheel, a respray, and a rental while the wheel is getting worked on.

I also had a ticket that was due today and I completely forgot about it. I feel so completely shitty today.

YAY! Hello CC debt, my name is Dick.

"Oh yes because you replaced your interior lights, they drain voltage from the battery"

Oh yes because my interior lights are on when I start the car...

"Oh yes it might have been caused by you removing the cat"

Oh yes because removing the cat will cause that.

I've been having hard start issues for much longer than I've had my midpipe or interior lights.

Hayward Mazda gets an F in my book.

Dwayne White. I met some old guy there who I think was the owner, and we talked about cars for a bit so I was optimistic about the whole experience, but now they'rre pulling all this crap saying I have a drain on my battery and they had to jump start it. I sent an e-mail to Dwayne yelling at him for breaking my car because I've never had to jump it and haven't received anything back yet. I have to stop by after work and pick it up, they're probably gonna charge me a shitload of money.

That guy is a dumbass, he knows nothing about cars. You have to talk to Rex, the old fat dude, tell him you are from the forums and explain that bulbs do not do anything to the car.

Vegans don't believe in condoms. They get tested on horses.
