Old car was a 60's muscle car.

New one is a 1.4L compact car. 👎

But it still looks awesome.

Engine size means nothing.

Drivability, fun, reliability are the most important things.

Just because it doesn't have a big engine doesn't mean its bad.

I mean it looks sweet!

May I ask what game it is?

Bro's kept freezing when we tried to play NHL 09 :lol:. We ended up playing on the same team on Madden 10.

Call of Duty Black ops.

Although I just managed to play like 15 games in a row and it was flawless :boggled: it never cut out or froze once.....random.

Although I have another Black ops based Gear Grinder, LAG.

When the server or myself isn't Lagging my score seems to sky rocket, I play consistantly and the amount of times I have put someone down when not lagging is a good feeling.

On the Grinding side, when it is lagging, I have someone in my sight and am firing before they have even turned round, I know I got him yet suddenly i'm on the ground dead! When the Kill cam comes on I was in his sights before I had even raised my gun! Grrr....
 
The internet connection on my PS3, the damn thing takes forever to download stuff. :rolleyes:
Before I went out this morning I set some DLC for Battlefield 3 to download thinking it would be done before I get back. Got home 4 hours later and it was sat on 4% of 1.3GB. My laptop or iPhone could have completely downloaded a file that size in a lot less time.

So...

That new Dodge Dart is really a disappointment. I was thinking it'd be a muscle car not a Ford Focus.
 
Smart ass snow grinds my gears. Looks like crap outside and starts snowing for literally 10 seconds than stops. Just don't snow and go away.
 
Had to walk home in the rain today again, and as soon as I'm in the door my mom is expressing her displeasure. Supposedly she was going to drive me to school today, even though it wasn't raining at I was late, and driving takes another minute because I use shortuts when I walk. She was mumbling today, and it sounded like she was talking to herself like always, but I she said she'd drive me in two minutes. I didn't hear anything. So coming home drenched, water dripping down my head, into my eyes, really angry, I don't even get a hello.
 
It's raining here to! Must be a big storm. All day in fact. I had to walk a long way to get to my house to a creek in between school and my house. It flows quite high when it rains. High enough that it's a life risk to go through. Even with my umbrella, my shoes and my pants still got soaked somehow. :grumpy:
 
I'm in PA. Waffles, I think it was you who was talking about how we're near each other. And Elitedreamer, are you NE US? I can't see on the app.

PA is not lovely, in any way I see except Glen Oko falls in Jim Thorpe.
 
Its sunny in Merlin, Ontario! @madmike1986: Could just be a scratched disc. That's what my bro's problem was. If possible, borrow a friend's disc and see if it works.
 
Where did you go in Maryland? Washington D.C. I'll assume? Unless you went to Baltimore or Ocean City.
 
Oh yeah that reminds me. Why isn't Washington D.C. in Washington state? That's always confused me.
 
Elitedreamer, I went to Ocean City.

Matt, it was created way before Washington state, as the US was explored east-to-west. Not sure of the whole story, but Washington state is top Northwest corner of the US, one of the much later states. Washigton DC was made to be in the middle of the US at the time of the Eastern seaboard being the only settled land.
 
Gear grinder; the fact that the TV remote in my room stops working at random moments, and the only way I can get it to function again is to smash it against a hard object multiple times (strange, I know, but it does the job).

The controls on the actual TV work just fine, so the remote is looking pretty redundant right now. I won't have this problem once I get a new TV though.
 
What's grinding my gears right now is that Manchester United, my team, have just been knocked out of the UEFA Champions League by FC Basel

Aside from Elitedreamers link, there's also the small fact that DC and Washington state are around 2600 miles from each other (typical road trip route).

True story. A guy I used to work with went on Holiday to Seattle, and while there he decided it would be a good idea to visit DC. Not knowing that DC was actually at the other end of the country. He just assumed Washington DC was in the state of Washington.

He was an idiot.
 
Thanks for reminding me, that it grinds my gears that I have no TV in my room. We have an extra that nobody is using. Also, I have a 19" LCD 720p TV at our weekend house in the Pocono area. I go about once every two or three weeks, so it barely sees any use, yet my dad refuses to let me put it in my room here at home.

That doesn't irk me so much in all fairness. I'm just shocked that Basel could actually knock United out in the group stages.

No TV in your room? That must suck. I have to make do with a cheapo 15" LCD since my old TV kicked the bucket a couple of months ago (it was a 19" LCD TV btw). It's crap, but it's better than nothing I suppose.

Hopefully I can get my hands on a larger LCD/LED TV before Christmas.

I'd rather have a small LCD/LED HD tv than a larger tube television, unless the tube tv is high quality. I have a 32" tube in my basement that I use for gt and I can hardly make out the UCD and online lobby name text. I've played on the 19" with and without an HDMI input and even without it I can read easier than the 32".

Edit:@bubblebelly, Just wait until Chemistry for confusing topics.

Hm I may live near you. I was being sarcastic by the way :)

By the way Washington DC is there because like someone said the US was only settled in the East. Also its in the south because the southerners felt the north was running the country and they made a compromise to locate the Capitol in the south. I actually learned something in a US school... Strange...

I guess that's what you learn from a Northern State. :rolleyes: I learned it's because it's in the middle of the east coast. I have never heard about what you said.
