  1. I'm not prejudice. I like all colors! Seriously though, I have no idea what your post means.
  2. So my plasma took a shit last month. I bought a little 43" LG to test out the brand and LED. I am not a fan of the LG LED display. It's a 4K with "high dynamic range." So I went to Best Buy over the weekend and I fell in love with the OLED(LG) and QLED(Samsung) displays, but not sure I want to spend $3500 on a TV. I know their displays are set up optimally to sell, but the demos are really incredible. I did not see a single plasma in the building. Are they not making them any longer? I really like the plasma over the LED. Got those that have LED, ANY tips for adjustment? I understand the variances between media, broadcasts, etc, but I've played with this LG for a month now with no success.
  3. I'm going to be an uncle again!
  4. Now you're being detailed. I hope,at least, you didn't drink the milk shakes!
  5. Did you seriously just type that?
  6. You keep your BCCAs to yourself mister!
  7. Especially considering the "supplement" industry is not subject too FDA regulations. Of course the FDA is hampered by politics and lobbyists, so that may be moot.
  8. With these idiots it takes a show of force to help remind them why they are 3rd world. As for Trump, at least he's doing SOMEthing unlike Obama's bitch ass. Syria should have been dealt with years ago. I think we're going to see a revolution in North Korea soon.
  9. That looks anodized. Is it anodized? Please say it's anodized!
  10. Fuck rust! Fuck all corrosion!
  11. 2mm will require some type of filler.
  12. I agree with Sean. When said damage, I immediately think of a cut or deep scratch. I really need go see to make my best guess. Feel would be optimal, but yeah.
  13. You're backwards. You sand then polish, just like paint. Matt, is the plastic painted or clear coated? Can you post a picture of the damage?
  14. By how Seth has described it, his car and wheels have received a ceramic coating. It actually creates a molecular bond with the paint that will take years to wear. It's also easy to screw some up, and if not perfectly clean, anything under the coating is trapped there. Some have even caused issue with some paints, reactions with cleaning chemicals, etc. If you choose the ceramic route, do your research and try to stuck with a brand that has it's process laid out start to finish, preferably purchasing a kit.
  15. Google search ceramic paint sealant. That's your best bet for ultimate protection for a vehicle that sits outside and sees minimal care. There's a myriad of product available and they all do the same thing. I personally don't care for them; I prefer a polymer sealant instead, but I clean my vehicles frequently.
  16. If they're Elites, they're worth quite a bit. If not, I have no idea. Subs are all over the place in the used market unless they're rare.
  17. I'm familiar with it. The first 2017 WRX I drove was that color.
  18. That's a beautiful blue!
  19. Rumors are rumors. Ford has never been economical in terms of their specialty vehicles. Go back to the SVO Mustang. It was such a different breed from anything else. Then came the Fox Cobra which, yes used the 5.0 Windsor, but with specifically designed heads and intake, body parts, wheels, and other tidbits. Include the '93 Cobra R and it continues. '95 Cobra R same way. '00 Cobra R used a 5.4 DOHC designed specifically for that vehicle. It was never used in any other Ford. It's suspension, body, and interiors parts had many special parts. Ford GT of the early 2000s was completely one-off top to bottom, front to back. The Terminator Cobras had the blown 4.6 DOHC, buy the only thing it's drivetrain shared with anything else was the engine dimension. The block, rotating assembly, heads, everything different. Let's move to the most recent GT500. The only thing it shared with ANY other Ford (drivetrain) product was the engine block and that only lasted 3 years. Ford then developed an aluminum block just for this car. It also had it's own heads, blower,TB, Etc. The Raptor. . 6.2 developed just for the Raptor. While this architecture did trickle into their other F-series trucks, it's not the same beast. I don't think I need to mention any other differences for that. Let's fast forward to present day. The bew GT is again, an almost completely one-off vehicle. The engine dimensions/basic architecture are all that it shares with the "normal" 3.5 Ecoboost. The GT350 has so many parts that were developed strictly for that car, but of course the Voodoo is its claim to fame. Ironically, the 60s GT350 was the same way. It shared a chassis and an engine block with the Mustang, but everything else was purpose built. The GT500 was the same again. Just in Beast Mode for straight line speed. So you can easiky see here they've never thrown caution go the wind or built a specialty vehicle with economics in mind. Sure it is a factor, but not a limiting one.
  20. I don't think they'll use the Voodoo. They've said numerous times that it was developed SOLELY for the GT350. I don't see them using turbos either. While they're pushing the shit out of the Ecoboost packages, the GT500 has always been about brute force. I see a stroked Coyote with a big twin screw.
  21. Sonax makes a REALLY great wheel cleaner that does the same thing. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B003UT3S6Q/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1490753267&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=sonax+wheel+cleaner
  22. These guys and the power wars. That car is very unfriendly on the stock power outside of a track.
  23. Though I'd much prefer a John Kasse Boss 9 mountain.
  24. I love the Voodoo!
  25. Like Coyote for the 5.0.
