I have also always preferred s13 cars to s14s. I just figured I would try something different.

I have stepped away from the s chassis. I have had a Starion, fd, e30, eg Si, Celica, Cutlass, 240z... I keep coming back to the s13. I am so incredibly drawn to the early 90's economy Nissan. haha

While the S-chassi is a sexy beast, I got bored with it after awhile. I'm starting to get bored with Mazda3/Speed3 both gens too. I really like the '06 STi. :yummy:

I love the MS3, the gen before this one. My buddy had one and I swapped his top mount, BOV and exhaust for him. He used to let me drive it all the time and I loved everything about it. I just met one of Michele's friend who recently bought a white one. SEXY.

My friend that had the MS3 now has a gorgeous g37. He took his tax return and bought brakes, coilovers, and wheels. I get his stock wheels, which shout look pretty good on the zenki if I keep it.

This response is really, really surprising to me. I thought you were one of those mindless people who say, "FWD FTL!" and never give it a chance.

Well I gotta bounce! :wavey:

No idea. It's happening to me, too. Seems to be intermittent. Really weird. Some kinda SQL error.

Yup I got the same error after posting...

I am doing a paper on Protectionism vs Free Trade but concentrating mostly on US-China trade...
Any things I should look into or concentrate on?

oh well.


I saw that you spent your nintendo coins on some cool zelda posters

btw more than a year into the dsi shop, I am not impressed. The lack of good games, and the inability to "share" them irks me.

Yeah, I love my Zelda posters. I'm really, REALLY REALLY REALLY hoping Nintendo will do a set of Metroid posters. I have a very very nice Metroid Prime Trilogy poster I got with my preorder somewhere, but I'd like an Evolution of Samus poster to hang along with my Evolution of Link.

And yeah, the DSi shop sucks. Game info pages contain almost no actual detail, screenshots are uselessly small, and there are only a couple games I actually want. Aside from Tetris and Dark Void Zero (which is awesome but way too short) there's nothing there I actually play.

Where are all the GBA ports? Where are all the SNES port? I want Super Metroid in portable form dammit. And Link to the Past. And Kirby's Dreamland 3. I can't believe Nintendo hasn't milked the crap out of the virtual console potential of the DSi.

You could touch on the Chicken tax, and similar cases of tariff escalation. Basically, european countries started taxing imported chicken from the US very heavily to protect their domestic markets. So the US turned around and started taxing imported light trucks from other nations VERY heavily (25%!!!!!!!) in response. That led to lots of loophole exploitation--the Subaru Brat had seats in the bed to get around the tariff, and Ford's new TransitConnect comes over equipped as a passenger van at which point most are stripped down to bare bones so they can be configured to order for commercial clients.

Will do.
I am doing for free trade so I will mention this when discussing the political aspects of protectionism. Thanks for the feed back MoD :dblthumb:

Any one else?
