all fingers point at me - but i can assure those aren't mine even though the evidence is quite circumstantial as I have a Z

Justin, just remember, I can bench press 385lbs and have learned many karate moves from watching bruce lee movies and UFC fights. Therefore, i'm a very dangerous individual.

hey did any of you guys hear about FireSheep?

this thing is pretty cool. it's a FireFox plugin that makes cookie jacking on a public network easy.

let this be a lesson that you shouldn't use public networks for ANYTHING that you don't want broadcast to the entire world.

eventually i think people are going to cave in and have to start offering end to end encryption on their sites. hopefully it is soon.

being a digital deviant i've always been cautious when using any type of public connection what kind of data i'm submitting. i think now i will quit using public wifi entirely. my blackberry tethers anyways, so there's no reason to ever use it.

Dave, that's a pretty good bench press! Is that on a dynomachine or a mustang freeweights? Just wondering what the correction factor was set at! Can you put that into numbers we can all relate too. How many dead hookers is that? Lol

Either way, I bet a punch from you would hurt!

385lbs uncorrected on mustang freeweight. It's equivalent to 1.25 MondoBongos . You don't have to worry Jeremy, I only have a desire to punch programmers.

That is sig worthy Justin.

I missed the whole Cobalt/Z car debate. I've seen both beat both. Dont underestimate the new turbo Cobalts. But dont underestimate Z's with proper breathing

those new turbo cobalts are no joke. one of them beat me around beaver run actually.

it was driven by a man who by accounts can't even spell the word "fear", but still i was quite impressed.

canexican, i changed your tag. not sure if it's better or worse.

Here's a vid of a z that can breathe and an SS sedan with just a tune. I honestly wouldn't mind an SS as a cheap daily. They're wrong wheel drive, but apparently they handle really well and are only three cheap parts away from being high 12/low 13 second cars.


Justin, I don't think Cd would be a major factor until you get up to around 120mph and beyond, unless there is a drastic difference in Cd. In the case of this argument though, it is only a difference of .03 in favor of the Z - not much of a factor. The SS is lighter by 300lbs though, which is a big difference.

Ok, I'm done with the bench racing, lets get back to the sweet, sweet tags .

Oh yeah, forgot thats not allowed on here - but the tuned cobalt wins from a roll everytime against a full exhaust, intake, plenum spacer, underdrive pullied, etc Z. Its on youtube if you want to see it.
