Re: As the mod, if I want that [censored] to be long, it\'s gonna be lo
[ QUOTE ]
i mean, i'm not being a jealous guy (love the jl song) by bringing this thing up with her, am i? [/ QUOTE ] Depends how you bring it up...There's the "Were you at your, [censored] ex-bf's this weekend!!??" douchebag route, or the "Hey I just thought I saw your car at your ex-bf's this weekend, and it's just been making me a little uncomfortable. You weren't there were you?" sane guy route. I've always maintained that it's okay to be a little jealous, as long as it remains something that the 2 of you can talk about in a civil manner, and you don't start going to unfair lengths to investigate (like reading her personal e-mails, checking her call history, etc). Now in some relationships it may come to this, but by that point you will have already tried all the talking and basically be ready for the relationship to be over...you'll just maybe want some peace of mind before you pull the plug. |

Should I consider taking up Yo-Yoing as the more pure skill based hobby?
Cause this has me thinking... NO! |

wtf this girl is crazy. i am leaning more towards a lame joke on her part and i'm not going to worry about it until later. i'll casually bring it up at dinner to avoid being lame and insecure.

Re: As the mod, if I want that [censored] to be long, it\'s gonna be lo
Here's a car question for you guys... I'm looking to improve the fuel efficiency of my 2000 Toyota Camry. Besides the normal tune-up, are there any other engine modifications that can be done to significantly improve gas mileage?

[/ QUOTE ] [nit]Uh, Matt, unless your car is seriously effed up atm a tune-up will not significantly improve gas mileage.[/nit] There's also very little that can be done to improve gas mileage, in terms of engine modification. Remember, the manufacturer is going to do everything that can be done to improve it to keep sales up. What modifications you can make generally improve things like power but sacrfice fuel efficiency. That said, the things that really help have more to do with your driving style. Don't make a lot of short trips (fuel efficiency is worse in a cold engine, and your car uses the most gas when you're starting it); don't race from light to light (ldo); don't "lug" the engine (letting revs drop, mostly a problem if you have a manual transmission, but when you're passing, for instance, you're actually better off punching the gas a little to make your automatic downshift and keep your revs up, lugging the engine wastes fuel by not making a complete combustion which in turn causes other problems). Finally, something I feel can cause a broad impovement is using Techron by Chevron (I have no connection with Chevron, fwiw). It's the same stuff they add to their gas, but you can buy it in concentrated form at the station. It's completely anecdotal, but using it once a month or so seems to amke the engine run smoother, more powerfully, and more efficiently. |

Re: As the mod, if I want that [censored] to be long, it\'s gonna be lo
Thank you, my captain. When I get a real job, I'm gonna get me a hybrid. The 2007 Camry is now a hybrid. Too bad there's no way to modify my car into a hybrid... if someone were to make a way to convert old cars into hybrids, they'd be rich.
I'll try out the Techron stuff for a bit. I think another problem is that it's a 'used' car so I have no clue how well the engine has been treated previously. I just got the car a few weeks ago. I don't know if they changed the oil regularly or if they ever changed the spark plugs. I might spend a weekend changing everything out (spark plugs, air/fuel filters, etc) and see if it becomes better. |
