Chris - what is the resistor mod for a stereo install? I`m thinking of

upgrading the stereo in my `93.

Hopefully this doesn`t qualify as a dumb question...



Is there any way to tell if an odometer has been run past its mechanical

limit? That is, since the odometer in the C3 has a max of 99,999.9 is there

a way to know if the car you`re buying has 43,000 miles vs. 143,000 miles?



I`ve just always wondered if there is some mechanical way to know if the

odometer had been run through the numbers. Of course, I`ve also wondered

why odometers with this limit were ever used in the first place.

Title: Fearlessly. Fun. Creative.

Thought I’d try something a little different for this series of creative images. 

I went out to Old Town here in Kissimmee, Florida one night for their Saturday Night Vintage Car Show.  Hopefully I’ll get to go back soon — I decided to head out there pretty late, so most of the cars had driven off due to the storms we had roll through earlier that evening.  But it was still nice to roam around for an hour or two and get to see what was out there.  I hadn’t been in years, so the place has really grown up!

Last Saturday, Sean and I took a day trip to Gatorland.  We’ve been wanting to head out there for a while, but they’re currently running a Florida Residents special for $10.  Can’t beat that!!  So I’ve included those pictures as well.  We had such a great time, even though it is STILL a bit too hot here in Florida to not want to curse the sun and heat.  Hopefully in the next month or so we’ll get even cooler — then we’ll head out to Disney World!!  Woohoo!!  :)

Title: BMW Lovos Concept is Secretly a Porcupine
Date: Sat, 26 Sep 2009 17:44:44 +0000
Author: dustin61

Although this car design is just a concept, and most likely all it will ever be, it is definitely something interesting to think about. The design was created by Pforzheim University alumni Anne Forschner for BMW. The concept has many different panels all covered in solar photovoltaic cells that can both charge the car and act as wind brakes. A great car in theory, but something tells me most people wouldn’t be too happy if they saw this car flare its panels on the highway.
