RXZ88M update

Car passed smog. Tech said the RX8 cat has a dual core system, and that the hi flow cat I had must have been a single core design. This meaning that it worked really well on one of the elements tested by smog, but that it did not address one of the other elements...therefor, the high readings were basically reading gas straight from the engine without being burned off by an inefficient single core cat design.

Potential buyer called my the morning on our cruise and gave me a timeline. Loan should go through either Monday or Tuesday of this week, and we should be able to transfer the car and title at that time.

So potententially, car will be sold by Tuesday......

it was a smaller turnout, but still fun. 3 rx-8s, 3 rx-7s, 1 evo, and 1 cobalt. i think we were all just chilling, and no one bothered taking too many pix... (well, maybe except Jesse.) the weather was great as usual, and it was nice just to see everyone and get outdoors. hope more ppl will come next month.

So considering Stephs clutch is now blown . . .. we may be getting a new clutch at a VERY discounted rate.


Never go to Good Year Express Tire on Winchester!!!!

I have spoken to the shop who used it like a race car. They said to send them the bill for the clutch and they will see how much they can give me to help out.



BTW - Cesar . . . .it is time for me to get a new phone. I am done with my contract with sprint, so my options are completely open. Since you are more of an expert at this than I am, hope you dont mind if I pick your brain a little bit.

send up the "El Nerdo" light in the sky and I'm sure you'll get more information than you even could want.

I figure, I'll just buy whatever El Nerdo no longer wants...as he continues to buy what it new and cool...but his hand me downs are still way ahead of the curve anyways....I'm always looking for El Nerdo hand me downs.

What do you want to do with your phone? Are you looking for a simple that just takes calls, pic, and plays music? Or, would you like one that also has high-speed internet and gps?

If you have no problems w/ Sprint coverage, no one comes close to their deals on the SERO program.

$30/month. 500minutes, Unlimited Text & Data, Unlimited Nights/Weekends starting at 7pm. That includes high-speed internet, and unlimited pics messages.

I can give you the info to sign-up online, but there is 1 catch. You cannot transfer you Sprint phone# to a Sprint employee referral program. It's very, very difficult. It's supposed to be for "new" customers, so you can port a # from another carrier, but not within Sprint.

There is not a single carrier that does not use proprietary software.
The scary thing is, Verizon does the most testing to eliminate the bugs before the phone reaches the customer, that's why they are so slow at getting new phones.
Also, that's why I love phones w/ Windows Mobile. My phone had a bunch of Sprint software when I got it, but I was able to remove everything I didn't want, and even install a newer version of the operating system.

Wait... Why don't you have an iPhone?

Good news is, in about a year, many carriers will have cell phones running Android from google.
The world will be a much better place.

So do these phones actually have a real webbrowser yet? Or do they use that 'webrowser 5.0 for PDA' ?

That sheet aint worth it, unless every site you visit has a 'dumbed down' version that will actually work.

It is only about $10/month to ad all the cool stuff . . . . but if it only works on a couple sites . . .what is the use of having a pda phone?
