No I slowly make the suspension compress and just let go! Nothing hard enough to damage the hydralics in the brake! I don't just floor it slowly adjust to what I need. When going fast enough-whats that about? Looking to kill yourself!

Dang dudes slow down...Racer has stated before how he's does it...I couldn't see him doing it if it was going to screw his car up? Don't do it every time I come to a stop just on rare occasion I need to pull out...know what I'm saying...guess I'll learn my lesson when something happens! Bet your guyses manual launch well??? I have a 2.0 liter escape with a 5-speed and man that thing is freakin' fun! I've been wanting to drive a 3.0 with a stick for a while!
Hey somekid not saying that the awd suck or anything...guess you'd have to have tc to know what I'm saying. I tried many times this winter to test out the car with w/o tc and the abs and different kinds of storms and man I'll tell you what the tc just doesn't let you get away with anything. The awd does fine when you drive within the conditions but the tc you can almost drive whatever way you want. I'm just saying that I'm glad that it has tc because I would have been a little dissappointed for the fact that I thought the awd would be the unstoppable but the first storm we got here in Michigan had rain and than it got cold fast with 2-3 inches of snow on the top. I pulled out from the job I was leaving and didn't even realize how bad the roads were until I turned the tc off. I didn't even have to touch the gas the roads were so bad...I'm talking 15mph in city. Man I talk to much!

I hopeno one on here is doin a manual launch, cos u do know that doina launch on an AWD is a bad idea. I knew i wasnt suppose to do it, but tried it once just to see, wasnt good, no damage, but cud have broke something expensive the way it felt. I like the AWD, but sometimes i wish i had a rearwheel drive to peel out and leave some rubber on the road.

Why what'd it do? Even when I floor it from a stop light the car doesn't even snap until the rpms are up to like 4-5k...Thing must have snapped at ya if it did something because even if I do brake and gas it the car doesnt launch til 4-5K and I'm already doing almost 20 mph???

Speaking of RWD, the S-type loves leaving rubber on the road!!! I don't like doing it anymore though, because if I break something on the Jag, it'll cost me an arm and a leg. I'll post vids of me killing the road with my 240sx though so you guys can see what fun is!

Yeah, but I'm not a big fan of myspace! I have one, I use it, I just don't go on too often and I don't have many friends!

Really myspace is pretty cool I have a bunch of friends on there but I rarely use it. Its just a good way to keep in contact with people including family! My entire family that is spread out across michigan, canada and oregon it works well because now they can see my son! Plus another place to store your crap just incase something ever happens! Another place that I have stuff is on picasa web albums. You deal much with pictures and what not? If so theres a program online for free its called picasa. I've been using it for about a year or 2 now and it is awesome! The program automatically checks your entire cpu for pictures and than makes it so you can view all of them in a nice organized space. Than on the program it has this thing that allows you to make web albums and save massive amounts of pictures. I'll find the link for you in a sec....

Cool. Go ahead and get me that link, I know it'll be more than helpful! Not every pic I have can go on myspace, as some are inappropriate! I have a few on photobucket, but I don't know how many fit on there! I have a lot of pics that need to be safe, and a few that it's OK to lose, but not too many! BTW, someone explain how we're talking about storing pics in a thread about HID kits!

Not like it matters, there isn't a soul on this freaking forum! Its turning into every other forum....we might as well start instant messaging each other on aim! Here's the link and by the way you download picasa on google.com its secure and what not and its an awesome program. You can also export the pictures and adjust the size. By exporting them you just copy the picture but also downsize it so you can paste smaller files on sites like our picture gallery on this site....know what I'm saying!?

This is my web gallery!

That was my bosses boxster...pretty sure he said he paid a little over 30k and than sold it for 25k about 4 months later and never put another tank of gas in it! He seriously only put a couple hundred miles if that on it! Money is no object to him! He was actually the owners husband of the building materials place I worked at. Got divorced in January of 06' bought a 2006 gto in february or march and than a week or two later totalled it! Week later bought a H3 and than month or two later bought the boxster and had the porsche and his h3. His little daughter couldn't ride in the porsche and the special seat he needed from porsche for her to ride in it was near a grand and he didnt' think it was worth it! Wish money was no object of mine!

Hey I like that quote as well but I take it seriously! If we evolved from apes why are apes still here? You figure they say alligators have survived since the prehistoric times...I don't believe all of that stuff...

I believe that aligators have been around for a while, but why didn't they evolve. Or why didn't fish evolve into like flying whatever? Evolution is a bull!

Yeah, the stupid part is that scientists in general have to explain everything! Explain why as humans we are so ignorant and than lets go from there!
