LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Comedian George Carlin, a counter-culture hero famed for his routines about drugs and dirty words, died of heart failure at a Los Angeles-area hospital on Sunday, a spokesman said. He was 71. Carlin, who had a history of heart problems, died at St. John's Health Center in Santa Monica about 6 p.m. PDT (9 p.m. EDT) after being admitted earlier in the afternoon for chest pains, spokesman Jeff Abraham told Reuters. Known for his edgy, provocative material, Carlin achieved status as an anti-Establishment icon in the 1970s with stand-up bits full of drug references and a routine about seven dirty words you could not say on telev…

Oh I'm so pissed off right now! So, a little over a month ago my amp started cutting in and out one day then went into permanent protect mode. Had the amp hooked up for maybe a month and was brand new. So it was deemed the output board took a shit. So I had to argue and jump through hoops over a few days to get them to replace it under warranty. 3 weeks later they finally get the new replacement amp to me. Hooked it up, set gains,ssf, etc... Everything sounded great until tonight. I'm driving through town listening to Aerosmith's "Amazing" on volume 13 subs set at -5db via my kenwood. ( Amp reaches max power at volume 25 with sub set at 0db. ) Out of the blue while the …

As some of you know, I am currently store manager of a car audio shop in Denham Springs, Louisiana. Innovative Audio, home of "The McNasty" Rockford demo truck. I have been here for 3 years. At some point next week, I will board a plane to fly me half way around the world to Saudi Arabia. Where I will be a Field Service Engineer for Con-Fab Services. Working on the Telecommunications system in vehicles for the SANG (Saudi Air National Guard). I will be gone 2-3 months at a time, then off for 4-6 weeks at a time. This will allow me to finally start doing car audio as a hobby again, and not as a job. So I look forward to my next build and talking to all of you more …

So The Other Day I Got On My 360 And Decited To Play Some Call Of Dudy World At War. I Was Playing The Zombie Mod With 4 Other People In My Party. It Was Working Fine With No Problems And Then About 10-15 Minuetes In It Started To Lag Really Bad. Then It Froze For About 2 Seconds And Kicked Me Off. I Get A Message Saying "There Is Not Enough People To Continue Playing" Then It Kicks Me Off Xbox Live And I Have To Go Back To The 360 Dashboard To Do A Network Connection Test In Order To Sign On To Xbox Live Again. Does Anyone Know What Is Causing This And How i Can Fix This ? Hope To Fix This As Soon As I Can Thanks

Jacob and I decided we would hit up the Car show in SA this morning and all I can say it was worth it. Totally unplanned but everything fell into place. Started off heading straight to the Usaci booth. Did a couple runs in Jakes tahoe (2 12" Fi bls on a Sundown 3k) and got a 146.8db with the mic on the kickpanel. We got hungry and needed to take a piss so being the top executives and business men that we are, we went and ate at the spear tower. That's right. Pics as proof. The tower: The view from the VIP section: Here I am waiting for the attendants and waitresses and bus bois to get our table ready. Jake looking at the Street Havoc event from up top...laughing at all…

Ok, I had a pretty good amount of donations from you guys last year and we were able to raise iirc $1200+ !!!!!!! http://www.vospca.org/depts/valley_oak_spca/default.asp Lets see if we can do better this year. I do this walk every year and am obviously a animal lover, matter of fact I just adopted a stray 2 weeks ago that stolled up to me in my drive way while I was applying deadener. Turns out he is a purebred mini Schnauzer so it turned out to be a bonus! I am looking for you donations no matter how small they are. If you also love animals please donate, ALL money will be donated to my local SPCA and I will put your name, location and the forum you are from. So, please …

I went to camaroz28.com and I found some brand new headers from a guy for my new car for 450 shipped so I sent him an email (not looking at his 4 post count all in the same post). Well, I wait about a week and decide I will buy them. The money clears, and I never hear from the guy again. Well, it has been 2 weeks, so I decide to do some research (which I should have done before). Apparently he gives me a fake address 31st street in Madison, NJ. I went on mapquest and there are no numbered streets in madison. He also said in his post that they were on a t/a, but in an email he said he took them off of his camaro. So I filed a complaint with paypal and they say they will g…

I'm looking for someone that has or had this car, that has some input on it. I'm talking performance wise. Were there any common problems? I'm thinking about picking up one for maybe a daily system. Nothing special. I just want to know if it is reliable and some pro's and con's would be nice. Thanks for any input!

Be on the lookout for a white body caprice or a car like it with the doors and hood replaced from the junkyard. I've been told the car is white with a different color door, different color hood, etc... rollin on large 20 somethin inch wheels. If you see this car in a parking lot, apartment complex, condo lot or neighborhood to go ahead and call the police and tell them suspicious activity is happening via this car. Word has it the owner of this vehicle just got out of prison for 7yrs of theft and is back out and doin it again. Do not approach this guy or anybody else for that matter as they are packing... They scour lots days before a theft and have lots of t…

But then again, there have been a number of other spotting's.

So today I was in a HURRY to get to school, ya i know school, well one of the 2 lanes I was on was closing so I popped into the other lane which wasn't being closed due to street painting and to my surprise the dude in front of me slams his brakes on and I couldn't get out of the way fast enough. His story was he was turning into his lane-way, well turns out he was and i guess he had to stop to do it? at any rate here is the goods! 2- lights 1- power steering tank 1-front fender 1-hood (kinda) 1- 90degree fitting attaching coolant jug to rad! and ya this is my dad's car, my car was getting new tires/wheel bearings! and if you are wondering about the truck well I turned h…
