    Thinking of looking at a 2004 Z06

    Well I've had the Cobra for about 5 years, and I'm kind of getting the itch for another car. What are your opinions on a 2004 Z06 with 62k. Its higher mileage than I originally had in mind, but they are asking 21,900. I'm waiting on some additional information on the car, as apparently it has...

    Rattle

    My 03 Cobra has a rattle coming from the engine compartment. It is intermittent; it rattles for a minute, stops, and then starts rattling again. It kind of sounds like when I had a bad throw out bearing, but it rattles regardless of whether I am in gear or what RPMs I am at. It almost sounds...

    Intermittent rattle

    My 03 Cobra has a rattle coming from the engine compartment. It sounds like a bad throw out bearing, but it comes and goes regardless of whether I am in gear or not. The rpm does not seem to effect it either. It will rattle for a minute and stop for a minute, only to start rattling again. It...

    Might be moving to Houston

    Getting flown out for a job interview in Houston, and if all goes well I will likely be moving there. I was wondering what parts of town would be good to find a reasonably priced apartment. I'm thinking of a 1 bedroom for under $1000 a month in or near a fun part of town. Is that possible to...

    Moving to Tampa

    I just received a job offer in Tampa. I don't have much time to go down there and figure out where to live, so I was wondering if anybody had any tips on what areas to consider and/or avoid. I was hoping to live close to work, which is near Raymond James Stadium, and relatively close to some...

    differential ?

    Sorry if this is a dumb question, but isn't the rear differential supposed to be limited slip? A lot of the parking lots around where I live are steep and if I pull in wrong I get a rear wheel off the ground and end up having to open the door and push. It is kind of annoying, does this happen...

    Best and worst selling cars

    Forbes released an article discussing vehicle sales. I thought it was interesting that 5 of the top 10 best selling were domestic. Of the worst selling, 9 were SUVs and 4 were import models. I am far from a defender of the big 3, but I think this debunks the argument that no one wants to buy...

    car broken into=hate homeless crackheads

    radar problem

    The thread about radar detectors reminded me of a problem I have with mine. It is a Bel Vector I think it is the 940 version or something similar to that. Anyways I can't even use it half the time because it will start flashing the word "markers" I believe it is some sort of warning for...

    another tire thread

    I am going to need new tires soon. I currently have a set of bfg g force kdws on the car and they were pretty good when they were new. Are there any tires with better dry traction in the $150 range? I drive in the rain often so I am staying away from dr radials. I would like a tire that can...

    2.8 and tune

    With cai, bassani cat back, and the pulley combo it put down 456rwhp and 474rwtrq. I am pretty happy with the numbers. I thought it would be lower since I don't have a mid pipe, but it almost looks like it may have helped out the torque. I had it done by Tony at HP Performance in Orange Park...

    Who thinks this is b.s.?

    So my investments Professor just posted our final grades up for the semester. My grade came out to a 93.75 and it says my final grade is an A-. While I am not one to bitch about an A- its just the principle of the situation. Normally an A- is a 90-92 or 93. So I read through his syllabus and...

    Any Lawyers on here?

    Just curious as to the different types of lawyers. I'm a Junior in college right now and I still am not sure what I want to do. I'm an accounting/finance double major, but I'm not sure how I feel about those fields. Are there any fields in law where that undergrad would be an asset, such as...
