    Saw a with 2nd gen on 101 going North today. It was on a trailer with no front bumper, looked like Foxes up front and big tires with Silver beadlock rings. Looked pretty sweet.
    Anyone know who's it is??

    Who knew the dude was claustrophobic?

    The whole Felix thing was badass! There's another video out that shows a part of the descent...the part where he goes into a flat spin :eek:

    No kidding.

    He wants to go back to flying helicopter again. Would seem boring after such an adventure, no?

    I'm curious how his today is going now that the world is aware of his feat. Not that they aren't given the eight million YouTube hits.

    okay so i have a problem. my engine is having that issue again where i hit the gas sometimes and the engine is loud as hell.. and i am literally flooring it... but the rpm is going up super super slow and the car is maybe increasing at 1 mph per second... then it just grabs and goes!!!

    does this sound like a flywheel problem or a transmission slip???

    I'm getting kinda tired of Comcast here. My internet gets really slow at times and the signal gain here at my house is horrible.

    No kidding. I measured my connection speed and there are days when it gets down to dog slow. Almost makes rebooting that stupid router worth it.

    Thats why I do the online chat things these days. I don't feel bad when I type in all caps, and I can multi-task while I'm waiting for their slow asses.

    I go into the Folsom store instead of doing things online with them. I used to call and talk to them about getting better deals. They'd do what they could. Then last year I went into the store after doing the phone call thing. They gave me a better deal in the store. I go in once a year and at a minimum they usually give me my DVR for free for 6 months. Most people don't realize you can go in every year and get whatever their special is at the time too.

    No kidding. We have to drive to Folsom because the one that was in Diamond Springs for years closed. All those employees had to either commute or relocate.

    What irks me is the answer is always "come to the 'local store' for help". I politely explain the problem is not the router but the disconnected wire on the pole. They say "please bring your router to the store".

    For some reason, they kept disconnecting my service. Turns out, they have a tag on both ends of the cable and the pole side was apparently not there-which they take as "stealing service" and just disconnect. Took three tries to get someone to tag both ends correctly. And two trips to the stupid store.
