it would be a stretch but a warm start-up may be worse on the starter(solenoid), because of the ambient heat. That's one of those things that can sound good on paper and never work in real-life though. Definitely wouldn't cause me to not shut my car off for 5min.

awesome, thanks for the run down. The salad, it was shit, i only had a few bites. No mayo or lemon but may have had a bit of soy. There was something vegetable based that had been ground up fresh in it but no real flavor, and definitely sesame.

Thank you, that made my morning. Descriptions were funny. If you want it clarified I'd be glad to help. <--happens to love most Japanese salad dressings, that being said there are some seriously crappy restaurants out there. yes please, especially identifying the fish if possible.

that would never work, after a few I'd forget to take the beer out of the platter before taking a drink.

Welcome to the IHoP
So I've been craving sushi thanks to Ryan. I had it in the keys and only got cooked shrimp. I've never been able to taste a difference in the fish, I can tell major differences in texture but that's all. I did notice that the place I had it in the Keys had fantastic ginger, better than what I'm used to. Tonight got a sampler from Laishley Crab House, reviews online say it's so-so at best. The wasabi is way more potent than most, about 10x stronger actually. Anyway, I got the sampler with the intention of trying the different fish and once again, I could tell no difference. I am not sure which fish is which, aside from tuna. The run down. First I try the cooked nigiri. No idea what kind of meat it was, thought it was eel possibly from the looks of it but the texture wasn't anything like the eel i've had in the past. The meat was possibly smoked, flavor was fantastic on this but I can't really describe it with any detail. I can say I really enjoyed it. Next, the shrimp, which was highly dissapointing, I think it was overcooked because it was quite tough, much tougher than anything else in the platter actually. Moving on, the orange striped Nigiri, which had some of the best texture but I honestly could still tell no difference in taste between this and the other raw fish. Next was the tuna which was almost too loose. No idea how else to describe it but when I would chew it it reminded me of something that had been stretched and pulled apart (think tenderized meat but this hadn't been beaten). The pure white nigiri on the left had fantastic texture as well, right up there with the orange striped and probably better if I could have gotten past the look of it. For some reason the pure white kind of turned me off. The pink to white nigiri was ok but nothing to report really. The upper right nigiri was the last one I tried and probably the least favorite but I think that's because I had already killed my apetite at that point. (i ate the maki rolls almost immediately, still my favorite form of sushi, and that tuna was much more firm than the nigiri piece). and now for a couple pics... btw the "salad" you can see was fucking nasty, the lettuce was wilted and it reminded me of bad kimchi. I've never had it before so I didn't know what to expect but the flavor was very "korean" don't know how else to describe it.

I would love to see a large grow op while still running, I've never had the pleasure. The ones that I saw in the film were very inefficient which shows they weren't very experienced. The 20 buried traincars was a fantastic idea but they royally fucked it up. Basically, these operations need to hire me as a consultant.

Eh the union got boring, you can only make the same statement so many times. I had heard most of their facts before but I think their numbers are way off.

Welcome to the IHoP
going to finish The Union now, the first 20min was good enough for me to get up off my ass and switch it to the TV instead of laptop.

I really don't like the front of the XF, too much like an Aston Martin but not as good. I love the rear though, there's one in the lot downstairs actually and I get to stare at it every day.

scion with bmw motor?
I agree that's not the same car but I absolutely love when people swap engines. some that have recently caught my eye.... how about a WRX engine in a 914 porsche, http://www.renegadeh...ubie/Subie.html VR6 in a fiero http://www.fiero.nl/...TML/000014.html mazda MPV ...nissan 300xz twin turbo... http://www.cardomain.../1993-mazda-mpv how about a yugo with a 2.2L turbo (dodge) + a little cadillac power adder in the rear... http://www.914world....showtopic=13450 and I just found a v-12 corvair http://blogs.motortr...swaps-2271.html

jesus christ, on ghost hunters, two guys are recording questions and then replaying them through speakers because ghosts can hear it when it's played "you know through frequencies, instead of through vocal chords" Maybe ghosts are just audiophiles?

You should definitely wait, with the way the car market is going i'm sure vehicles like that will only decrease in value and increase in condition. Interesting. I sort of figure the day I see a well kept <30k mile car with the right upgrades and such for under $35k I am fucked. Don't know how you could say no. I was being highly sarcastic.

stefan: I thought you meant we could smoke and still function, I was merely saying I can't coexist peacefully with weed. dry sarcasm I suppose. Luke: I have never seen the union, but I definitely want to (just googled it) edit: didn't realize i was replying to two different people!

I disagree, me coexisting with pot is like a lion coexisting with a lamb....if a lion knew how to start a fire at least.

Welcome to the IHoP
Most of our forefathers were large fans of pot. Ben Franklin has many writings that flat out say "i was smoking hash and...." of course my favorite example of how drugs hold us back is PCR which was invented by Kary Mullis '83 while tripping on acid. All of our modern day DNA sequencing relies on a process that Mullis admits he would have never thought of had he not done acid....a lot. Shakespeare smoked pot, almost all the original presidents did before the huge scandal where it was made illegal by propaganda equivalent to what you find in North Korea (commies, yes commies) all to keep it from competing with the cotton and forest industries. Of course you make a bold enough statement and get it to stick in politics and eventually everyone believes it. This same kind of thing is exactly what you can find in North Korea where the internet is still very limited because if people start to read the truth they may doubt the gospel they've heard their whole life. Just like the movie "unleashed" get em young and the possibilities are endless.
