Has anyone used SWYPE on their phone before? I'm sure you have. SWYPE (required to be in all caps for posterity's sake) was an application written by some guy who could only use his nose to interact with touch screen smartphones. This would allow him to "swipe" (SWYPE) his fingers across the screen in a manner that would utilize the predictive text features of his smartphone to formulate words based on a pattern drawn across a keyboard. Unknown to the architect, should a user accidentally forget to lock his phone screen, SWYPE could sabotage anything as mediocre as a previous conversation with your friend. OR. SWYPE could completely obliterate your social life if left unattended.

SWYPE has hit close to home with me, as one day I received the following text message from my brother, seemingly in distress:
my brother (so it would seem) wrote:Elated forum blatant seemingly adjacent abated destroy desk not no nope seems outside quite date bottom businessman protected glorious realistic summary heavenly opened into outside of titanic . spindle rack better NASA itself not receipt search boundless aesthetic cleansed truck obviously execution bringing turbocharged crack milking mother wrestling contemplation ignored
Immediately, I begin to question him.
I wrote:Dude, wtf. It's 3 in the morning. Are you high?
Anyway, this thread reminded me of that.

I've contemplated doing that, or ChumpCar...but I doubt the car could handle even 5 hours or non-stop abuse. Had shotty transmission work done a few years back and been just driving it as is. It shifts...just sloppy.

If you have seen how sad the car scene is becoming then you'd realize that this project is a joke AT the scene. It's easy to make a car that people here are pumped about. Stanced out, dumped so low they scrape on pebbles, stretchin tires, and draggin crap from their bumpers...and they spent money on that. To each his/her own...just not my thing. I'm about improving a cars abilities...just haven't done much to the MS3...yet :naughty: Too much spendin time on 2008AltiCoupeDan's WRX. :slap:
What part of Western NY are you from?


:lolling: Everything else...WOW. :lolling:

Got bored last night while helping a friend vinyl drop his Suzuki SX4...and naturally the white vinyl left-overs ended up on the Smax. I'll post a picture later.

Vinyl drop? Is that the new cool thing to do instead of cutting springs?

We'll be waiting in anticipation of the new addition to your high school auto shop project.

That makes about as much sense as this thread. :crazy:
A Vinyl Drop is running a strip of vinyl across the top of the windshield. In his case, a strip of gloss white because that's what was laying around and to be honest...it doesn't look bad on a "burnt orange" colored SX4.

As for "High School Auto Shop Project"...if it were a high school project I'm pretty sure I'd be fixing it (I.E. the separated flex pipe or rear suspension). But sadly, I'm not so it's just a project of No Reason. I have however considered fixing it somewhat...but I can't justify sinking money into it. The money that I'd have to put into the car can be better spent on my MS3. Instead of a $100+ in suspension...$100 88Duro Rear Motor Mount for my MS3 is better. The Maxima runs and it'll get me through the winter, what more can I ask of it. :)

Tis' a sad world indeed. I wouldn't really call myself a "youth". The people doing this whole dump it, stretch it, scrape it thing do it because they see it as the "IN" thing to do. I'm merely doing this because I find it funny. As stated, I'm one for making power not looks and I work on my own vehicles as well as my friends cars'. I recently went to a big tuner meet here in Rochester and was disappointed at where the auto scene has gone. I went to go check it out to see some people and every car there was slammed to the ground, scraping licence plates, dragging junk from their rear bumpers or toe hooks (purely aesthetic), and stretchin tires. I'm more into going to meets where there are cars making actual power or have been restored by people who actually got their hands dirty.

I hope you get to retire good sir...the way the world is lookin...I won't be. LOL
And nice lookin' Z in your sig. :bigthumb:
More of a '90-'96 300ZX TT kinda guy but they're all good lookin ladies.


As for last night's shenanigans...totally added 15hp in a matter of 2 minutes.

Thanks. I just picked her up last Saturday. I've owned a Z32. Call me crazy, but I prefer the Z33. With that said I've got a plan in the works to buy another Z32. :rotfl For me cars are like crack. It's like "Well I got spare money, might as well spend it on crack!"

Well said. I'm missing the money part otherwise I'd have a nice black Z32 along with the MS3. Instead I've got a Maxima to repair for winter and "fun money" goes into the Mazda.
