  1. Sounds like it's dead. A friend of mine that has the X360 had the same thing happen.
  2. Use XP Pro or 2000 Pro and have your own user account.
  3. Our worst PC I know nothing about, wasn't into computers back then. But the most frustrating was by far the Compaq with Windows ME. Runs XP Pro now and is pretty good at it.
  4. It always feathers the inside of the front tires, especially the front right tire. I did a quick, small adjustment. Probably thursday I'm going to actually measure it in flat and level parking area. And I like my fords
  5. 96-05 had a 3.0pushrod standard and a 3.0DOHC standard. They killed the DOHC for 06 and 07. And it's more a matter of transmissions, I'm sure the 3.8 would be quicker if it were mated to the newer (yet similar) transaxles. I got my alignment done in the driveway! Doesn't pull to the right or wonder that much.
  6. The 3.4V8s had a problem where the camshafts would "walk" or "spin" and the engine would be destroyed. If I ever had a 3.8 Taurus, I'd get the kit that's is supposed to be available for the 3.8 and I'd stroke it to a 4.2 Yeah, it is a small V8 Don't the new F1 cars have like a 2.5v8? And I've been resurfacing my right front rotor somewhat for the past two hours and trying to figure out how to operate a tierod so I can adjust the toe
  7. Good buy man. Wish I had the money for something like that. Is this going to be yours or are you going to share it with the parental units?
  8. Actually I was kidding about the not knowing about the race part. Apparently it was a 2.7 charger. Still, that brand new car almost got beat by a 6 year old Taurus that isn't running well.
  9. I kinda raced a 3.5 dodge charger today. I'm surprised, I was actually ahead until about 30, then he started to pull on me. Either my car got a lot of power I didn't know about, or those things are slow.

    SUVs

    I don't call them cute utes, auto magazines call them cute utes because they are so small. Yes, Daimler is selling chrysler off to a liquidator. Most likely, Chrysler is going to split up - so Jeep might be sold to another company (hypothetically)
  11. Festivas and Aspires were korean built cars for Ford Edit: were
  12. Shogun(ford) is a cool car, I'd never drive one. I don't like small cars. My 01 Taurus is on the border. I drove a focus - it handled nicely, accellerated fast (the 2.0 zetec didn't know what low end torque was) but it was just too small.
  13. Anyone remember back in the early 90s when the Taurus SHO was better than the BMWs that were twice the price? That was a good car that died an early death.

    SUVs

    Most SUVs nowadays aren't SUVs but all wheel drive cars ... Toyota Rav4s are a great example of "cute utes" . Front Drive and All wheel drive, 4 wheel independent suspension, car engine and unibody construction, no solid frame at all. Truck based SUVs are good for highway use - perfect example is a Ford Excursion. They don't get the greatest mileage, but you don't need to make 10 trips to the supermarket to buy groceries becuause you can fit eveything in them. And a diesel Excursion will last 300,000 miles easily. They are built tougher and last longer.
  15. Well General Motors owns Chevrolet and GMC ... yes it's redundant.
  16. I was almost late for work. The slowest I went was 55 around a corner. I made it to work in 13 minutes ... I work 20 miles away.
  17. You've never made bread at home, have you? House smells like alcohol whe nyou make bread.
  18. It was a stupid thing to say. Brings back memories of when my roomate and his girlfriend tried hooking me up with a guy ... tomorrow I might type the story out of what happened.
  19. Happy birthday! Although you still have another two hours here.
  20. Sometimes they'll kick the kid out of the house. And I agree about the manly odor ... not body odor ... but I know what he means.
  21. Been there, done that. Glad I'm done.
  22. Logitech's quality can't be beat, I'll say that much.
  23. It's a good song by the Stones. Methinks she was playing you.
