  1. Thank you for your contribution to the community, if you really want your mind blown, check this out... http://www.macrossworld.com/macross/Macros...ross_F_Main.htm Oh yeah and Marchy's site: http://www.new-un-spacy.com/m3.html Quoted again for good measure.
  2. From the people that gave you the Pontiac GTO from Down Under comes this sweet-looking concept coupe. The Coupe 60 marks the 60th anniversary of Australian-based Holden Motors. 2008 Holden Coupe 60 Concept
  3. Did nothing but troll around various posts and lie about his lifestyle. Fortunately, he's no longer a threat here.

  4. Doomsday just hit theaters, and it's currently rated at 23% on Rotten Tomatoes.com. At least that beats 10,000 B.C.'s rating of 9%.
  5. Attempted to get attention by pretending he doesn't know who Optimus Prime is. Most likely just trolling around.

  6. What a great day for NASCAR today. Jeff Gordon Crashes Carl Edwards Does Second Consecutive Back Flip This Season
  7. MOTHER FOCKER!!! Sweet man, sweet!!!! And I just realized...8 ball side pocket...ha! Deuce V you've got to be unhitched my man! Awesome grabs! Ditto.
  8. "Ask any Starfighter, any real Starfighter. It don't matter if it's by an inch or a light year. Winning's winning." "Nice ride. What's the retail value?" "More than you can afford, pal. Gunstar." "Smoke him." "The gray Gunstar's yours." "What do you mean?" "You're representing me now. What you think - I'm gonna let you roll in a Hyundai?" "Nice ride." "I won it from our friend Centauri a few light years ago." "I didn't know he was into Gunstars." "He was when he was rollin' with me." "You know, this ain't no 10-parsec race." "I've got nothing but time."
  9. Now why is it that accessories for Rock Band are more expensive than real thing? At Best Buy, you can get a pair of the Rock Band brand drum sticks for $14.99, but at Guitar Center, you can get a pair of Vic Firth (the stuff real drummers use) sticks for under $8! Same goes with guitar straps. RB brand nylon straps go for $14.99, but you can simply go to Toys 'R' Us and buy a FirstAct nylon strap (which is wider and more durable) for $5. As a matter of fact, for the price of a RB strap, you can get a Levy's (the stuff real guitarists use) leather guitar strap.
  10. I got the mod parts for my drum kit today, which consists of two sets of foam pads and the Pedal Metal with hinge mod. Pedal Metal with Hinge Mod ($19.99 + shipping) My pedal hasn't split in two yet, but I wanted to make sure it never will. This mod consists of two cast aluminum plates, self-tapping screws and a thick, durable piece of clear plastic. So what does the plastic piece do? You can barely see it on the picture, but it's directly under both plates. It completely replaces the faulty hinge pin that inhibits pedal movement, which results in a weak stress point and easy breakage. With the Pedal Metal installed, the pedal is much sturdier and responsive. Drum Pad Noise Reducer Pro-Ultra Color Kit ($11.99 + shipping) There are hundreds of mods available to reduce the annoying clackity-clack of the drum pads. I opted for these foam pads because felt pads leave a fuzzy surface (which is really uncool for drums) and gum/rubber pads are a tad pricey. The set I got consists of eight pads - four black and four color. The black pads fit perfectly for a professional look while the colored pads make the kit stand out. Overall, I'm very happy with these mods, and they didn't cost me much. Now all I need is a cheap drum throne.
  11. From the same guy who gave you the 2007 Ferrari Dino Concept Design comes this special Corvette concept design. However, unlike the Dino Concept, the Z03 will actually see a limited production of roughly 100 units. Quite frankly, it's not a bad design; it's just that it doesn't feel like a Corvette, despite the use of the C6 chassis and some Stingray styling cues. 2008 Chevrolet Corvette Z03 Concept by Ugur Sahin Design
  12. This June, the Guitar Hero franchise focuses on one of America's greatest rock bands... Walk This Way
  13. Very cool indeed! I agree.
  14. Love the pics, but damn sure love the shelf even better! I've got to start searching for something as the shelves I anticipated using won't do the Valks any good. Too dark. I need some all glass like the Detolf, but unfortunately we do not have an Ikea where I am at. SUCKS big time! Have you tried ordering online at Ikea.com?
  15. Once again, AKIRA is in the rumor mill. Fortunately, Pitof is not tied to it. However... It involves Leonardo DiCaprio
  16. The Nintendo Virtual Boy - The single worst gaming console in history.
  17. Yes, but at least Transformers made decent use of the GM cars. In Knight Rider, Ford cars were just thrown around at random. Oh yeah, and the Ford Edge chasing KITT would've been minced meat in front of that truck in real life. There would've been no way either the Edge or the truck would be able to hit the brakes from their respective speeds and not hit each other. And don't get me started with Hollywood logic, which would only apply on KITT in the movie.
  18. that display deserves it's own thread, make one when you finish it! Awesome! +1 on that.
  19. Knight Rider ( ナイトライダー ) NBC/Universal Pictures, 2008 Directed by Steve Shill (Law & Order, Dexter) Based upon characters created by Glen A. Larson (Battlestar Galactica, Magnum P.I) Running Time: 100 minutes Rated TV-PG for violence, mature situations and mild language. Cast Justin Bruening as Mike Traceur Deanna Russo (random voices in Porco Rosso and Whisper of the Heart) as Sarah Graiman Val Kilmer (rumored to be David Lee Roth in The Dirt) as Knight Industries Three Thousand a.k.a. KITT Sydney Tamiia Poitier (Jungle Julia in Death Proof) as Carrie Rivai Bruce Davison (Senator Kelly in X2: X-Men United, Dr. Stegman in Kingdom Hospital) as Charles Graiman Greg Ellis (Amador in 24, Stonefire in Heavy Gear) as Welther Kevin Dunigan as Smoke Jack Yang as Cross Wayne Kasserman as Dylan Fass Chris Mulkey as Sheriff Ramsey Susan Gibney as Jennifer Traceur David Hasselhoff (Germany still loves him) as Michael Knight Synopsis When unknown assailants invade engineering genius Charles Graiman's home in search of top secret information, Graiman's latest creation goes online. A heavily modified version of a Ford Mustang Shelby GT 500KR, Knight Industries Three Thousand - a.k.a. KITT - storms out of the house to retrieve Graiman's daughter Sarah and protect her on their way to rendezvous with Mike Traceur, a former Army Ranger who also happens to be Sarah's ex-boyfriend. When Mike and Sarah are reunited, they take KITT with them in search of Charles. Lowdown For the past few months since photos of the new KITT were posted online, many fans were quick to criticize this new movie. Majority of the rants were from hardcore fans of the old series who believe KITT should always be a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. Now that the movie just aired on TV, I'm happy to say that the Knight Rider is not as bad as expected. Story-wise, there isn't much to expect. It's more like a two-hour Ford commercial. It would've been okay to have just some beaters on the road, but to have KITT weave through a canyon road and pass through a Ford Fusion and a Volvo S40 while being chased by a Ford Edge is just ridiculous. As for the characters, they seem generic and random. And David Hasselhoff's cameo appearance doesn't really do much other than develop Mike's character being the estranged son of Michael Knight. Like the original KITT, the new one voiced by Val Kilmer provides some comic relief in the movie. He is, however, not as funny as his predecessor, as he has a more serious tone. As for the car itself, KITT is bulletproof like his predecessor, but that's only if he's online. (Otherwise, when KITT's offline, he's just an ordinary Mustang.) Yes, he looks ricey on his high speed mode, but it's not as bad as the original's Super Pursuit Mode. The new movie sucks compared to the original series. But you have to admit that after going through three disastrous spinoffs (Knight Rider 2000, Knight Rider 2010 and Team Knight Rider), this one is actually a sigh of relief. Perhaps this will get better if and when NBC expands this into a full-blown series. Rating: C+ Links NBC's Official Knight Rider Homepage Reference The Internet Movie Database
  20. Switzerland-based Rinspeed takes a Lotus Elise and makes it go underwater. Looks like someone's been watching The Spy Who Loved Me one too many times... 2008 Rinspeed sQuba
