Chicken Fettucini was ok.. gotta love food from a box.

So many errors in this. A) Gasoline is distributed into a pressurized system, and is stored by itself. When you pump gas, you get 1 gallon of gasoline. Pressure within the tank maintains the levels of vapor to liquid. (hence why driving with a loose gas cap can trigger a check engine light.) B) all gasoline is transported through a massive pipeline system which does not differentiate where the gas came from or who it belongs to. Refineries label the gas and add the companies "special additives" before the fuel is trucked off to a local gas station. C) gasoline in vapor or liquid form will inevitably still be gasoline (not to mention pressurised back into a liquid) as it enters a cylinder where the piston pressurizes the fuel into a liquid making as the phase change is where a lot of the energy needed for combustion comes from (from liquid back to gas as heat is applied and the piston moves downward relieving pressure). *I'm not a scientist and there may be small errors in things that I have said but hopefully you will start to see the light*

all this taping, done to prevent chipping? bugs? both? i've never seen, nor herd, of anyone doing this. lol, would totally piss the wife off if i got up early and taped up the cooper. might jsut be worth the money in tape to do so. put my father's day gift on layaway. ruger mark III with a baskina, basker, some cheap red dot sight. gotta wait my 3 days. grabbed a portable shooting bench as well. sweet gifts. now i have a platform to see just what the .17hmr can do!! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Taping will protect against chipping, bugs etc... I have seen a lot of my buddies car club cars taped before traveling to car shows. I have even seen rims taped. Yeah, Mike (azbass) did it on his VW for his trip up to one off the AZ meets. The most epic example of this is when those 2 guys did an entire Audi and drove it across country. it used to be on vxvortex, but it looks like you have to be a member to see it now. Eliot's mr2 (completely show car) is often covered from front to back for anything over 100 miles. He even wraps the spare set of wheels he puts on the car for highway driving.

to the greatest car audio forum on earth!

The tempos are probably around 200-220 iirc and the hertz are like 230-250 iirc... Don't quote me on that I know I got my morel pulse (older version of the tempos) for about 160 cash, but I know some people.

Pics of ramos work almost makes me want to send him down a car and 5k dollars to build me a sq vehicle... almost.

hey thumpper, ever gonna offer classes on doing kerfed boxes. That's something I would pay for rather than destroying mdf on my days off trying to perfect kerfs.

in the manufacturer sections, check out fisher customs and pound the ground (iirc). They both make excellent boxes and ship as well.

No personal or listening experience with cadence drivers. I almost heard a set once but the amps were clipping so bad I could hardly justify calling it listening. From what I have heard they are ok, but not great. Morel and Hertz are great speaker companies. Components are a tad bit harder, the tweeter and mid/woofer are separate and there is a crossover involved, but nothing too complicated.

bang for the buck, I would look at Hertz Deici's and Morel Tempo components.

hertz hi-power componentz the hex's were pretty good before diamond was bought out. I have never heard those rainbows.

Chevy girl finally decided she was done being mad at me because she still couldn't figure out after two weeks of thinking, why she was mad at me in the first place. She just got a Lt1 camaro as well (t56 tranny too!)... 6:45 left at work. Cant wait for my new sub even though I don't have any idea what I'm gonna do with it.

Diamond Audio was great before 2006... I have a d7 amp sitting in my room that I will never sell because they were such amazing amps. It runs at like .002% distortion and is a beautiful shiny/plexi covered amp. That being said, since Diamond was bought out in 2006 iirc their products are a lot like alpines, they are good for the money but better can be had.

I don't have the cvt. 5-speed manual

Alright. I have had this car for two weeks now. I have driven just a tad over 1500 miles as well. The verdict is good. It managed 34.7 mpg average on the Cape May NJ trip (~300 miles each way). It manages 23 mpg city easily and even on shorter highway trips (ie. work) it manages to average 27 mpg weekly. Not bad for a brand new motor that isn't completely broken in. MY car is a 2008 Jeep Patriot: -5 speed manual and otherwise it's the base car with cruise control added. My bluetooth kit is ordered, and the factory 6 cd changing headunit will be going in soon, as well as the highline wheels. Highway thoughts: -Seats are incredibly comfortable even after 4:45 sitting in them. -The gear whine can get annoying from 65-70 but it quiets down at 72 mph. -It's really quiet for a budget vehicle, I can easily drown out road noise at volume 14. City Driving: -I love the power from the 2.4L I4. If I need to accelerate from a stop, It will take off faster than my standard neons, even though it is a heavier vehicle. - Low windshield is annoying if your first at a stop light *in NY they are right above you* - Drivers side blindspot is pretty big but there isn't really a passenger side blindspot. - Handles potholes really well. ---The Audio Review--- It has 4 6x9 speakers and deck power (~17 watts per speaker). There is impressive bass response down to 50 ish hz, considering that there is no subwoofer. The soundstage isn't on the floor, but it is still a little lower than I would like. I don't have the boston acoustic 458 watt 9 speaker system, It sounds better but it wasn't worth the money to me. The door speaker holes in this car are huge. When I upgrade the speakers to Morel Elate 9 3-way system, The door will fit the 8.75" speakers with minimal modification to the door metal and the plastic panel will fit it . The dash speaker locations are off axis, but because they fire into the windshield , they should still sound pretty on axis. The a-pillars will be home to many- a tweeter install and they are rather tiny *as in the depth* so they will most likely be the only area that isn't completely audio friendly. Overall for the price, it is a lot of car for the money. ---The final verdict--- I really enjoy this Jeep. It's comfy and fun, it handles mild offroading pretty well. The gas-mileage is a plus. The comfortable yet definitely Jeep interior is nice. I opted for the vinyl seats (and the tan/beige interior). I had my reservations about the white headliner but after a little adjustment (my last headliner/pillars were all black) I realized it feel very spacious and open. There is an abundance of seat space. Enough headroom to easily fit someone 6'5". I love the fact that it is easy to get in and out of the back doors as well. It definitely fits adults in the back seat. I will be glad to own this vehicle for another decade. It is fun and robust. Everyone loves it and it is probably the most comfortable jeep I have ever ridden in. Granted the Compass is idealy the same car, I love the retro old cherokee look and feel to the patriot. Overall if you are in the market for a relatively inexpensive new car that is cheap on gas money, can manage some off-roading, has ample room for 5, has great road manners and low road noise. Than the Jeep Patriot deserves a second look. It maybe on the cheaper side of small SUV's, and in my case it may be front wheel drive (4x4 optional) but it is hands down the most fun suv I have ever had the pleasure of driving in the sub 20k$ price range.

I have already done worse than that parking with the jeep. The car is 13 days old in that picture, sitting at one of our worst malls to park at, I parked all of the way in the back and I wanted as much room between my spot and the other spot. I have already done my flex testing, I had the front passenger and rear drivers side tires up on ramps with the other two touching the ground already.

^^^ ditto here Aaron... send me a pm too!

He listed his budget @ 200$

Jacob, I sent you money for one under my rangerxlt email.

I still think the sundown would be fine (unless it fried from low voltage) if you switched from agu to anl fuses. (and made sure the wire that was going into/leaving the fuse holder is still a shiny copper color.
