Ha, some of you know this but a few weeks ago my family and I went to a family feud audition in Atlanta. I didn't think anything of it because there were like 150 families auditioning that day. Anyways, we just got a letter in the mail saying "congratulations! Your family has been selected as potential contestants to be on Family Feud!..." Hahahaha. They will call us and inform us on when the taping will be.

T Mobile unlimited $40 plan opinions?

Woodk61000 — Mon, 10 Jun 2013 23:31:26 GMT

Right now I have AT&T and I like the service, its just a bit high $110 per month for 900 Anytime minutes, unlimited text, 2 GB data, unlimited mobile to mobile, Free nights and weekends. My contract is up with AT&T and im thinking about going back to Tmobile. I had them while I was in college in south Georgia, but that was back when you could have a plan with them and not month to month. Anyone have any experience with them after they went to month to month type plans?

Fun Family Car?

Rick02R — Sun, 09 Jun 2013 04:17:09 GMT

Need some thoughts from the car crowd. I currently am lucky enough to have a turbo Miata and a Boxster (the plan was always to keep just one), wife has a 6 year old CRV.

With a baby on the way, the plan is to sell the Boxster, put some money in the bank and buy something automatic that either of us can drive, keeping the Miata as a track toy (or DD). I only put about 8-9k miles on my car(s) in a year since I work from home. We drive the wheels off my wife's car.

I want something kind of different since this will be a utility car and definitely under $15,000 used. God help me I have desire to own a Honda Element. Also open to a cool Wagon (but don't want to deal with a high miles German one). I like some of the Volvo Wagons but worry about reliability beyond 100,000 miles. The Mazda 6 Wagon looks neat to but super rare. Prefer something on a car platform for easy driving and parking, not a big SUV family. Maybe a 4 door light truck? If you propose a minivan I'll have to use vulgar icons on you :butt:

So the question: What should I be considering? Suggestions on family cars you've loved and why you loved them?

Toyota Performane/Specialty shop Nothwest of ATL?

JR BigRed — Sat, 08 Jun 2013 02:05:26 GMT

I'm in the Kennesaw area and looking to have a Toyota Mr2 I've been wrenching on for the last month checked out. Any one know any shops in the area for Toyota's?

Edit:I guess any shop specializing in Japanese cars will do since it's unlikely to find a Toyota oriented performance shop. Really just looking for a reliable place to check out the MR2

Thanks

Radio Install in Dave's '03 911

RotorNutFD3S — Wed, 05 Jun 2013 03:28:54 GMT

Figured I'd share the install I just did in Dave's Porsche basically because I'm quite pleased with how it turned out visually and acoustically. There's room to grow because this setup is still utilizing the Bose speakers, but I actually don't think Dave will end up changing them.

In 2003 Porsche introduced the MOST BUS system, basically there's a dual fiber optic cable running from the head unit to the amplifier carrying sound and the rest of the car has typical wire. So if you replace the head unit you either have to buy an adapter for the MOST system and keep the Bose amp, or you replace both. We chose the latter since the adapter was about the same price as the Alpine 5 channel amp that was utilized. There were a lot of technical details in this install like resistances, running wiring through both firewalls, etc., but I won't bore anyone with that. On to the pictures!

Taking apart a Porsche is a little daunting at first but they make it pretty easy overall. My concern the whole time was not hurting the all-leather interior/dash this car has. Here's the before of the dash.

And coming apart:

Gutted (when I posted this on facebook I think Dave got sick, lol):

Then the HVAC controls were relocated and the stock 4-disc storage compartment was retained:

And here's the final product (excuse the cell phone shot, I forgot to take a close up this afternoon). The upper right hand of the surround was pushed in a bit too far (it's a friction fit), that has since been remedied:

Got started in the trunk, didn't take my own before picture, so I found one on the interwebs:

Noticed the cabin air filter was a wee bit dirty so I replaced that:

Wired up and mounted the new Alpine amplifier and Pioneer satellite radio tuner:

Back inside the cabin, I mounted the navigation and satellite radio antennas in the center of the dash, they get great reception even inside garages and while sitting under bridges:

I took the dash apart even further and installed the Pioneer's microphone in the factory location for hands-free usage. It works really well, I already called Dave from the car. :lol: :

Even though this head unit can wirelessly connect to Androids and iPhones via the AhaRadio app to access stored music and Pandora, Dave also wanted a direct iPod connection, so there it is. It even charges the iPod. My first gen Touch playing the part of model here, yes, I do own one Apple product:

Here's an overall view of the cabin with the new radio installed:

And finally, just a screenshot of the head unit. It's very intuitive and easy to use, voice commands work well, all around very nice and looks right at home in the Porsche:

Thanks for reading!

Incredulous Infractions???

GVfanatic — Tue, 04 Jun 2013 08:32:21 GMT

I find it simply rediculous that one can recieve an infraction for simply agreeing with a true staement on here. This forum has apparently changed quite a bit since the last time I was on it, but when did agreeing with the truth about pure physics become grounds for an Infraction. One including the reason of "Being a Tool" and "Trolling"
Is this something I should expect on a forum full of adults? That one cannot agree on scientific fact simply because it might hurt the feelings of someone unwilling to admit when they are wrong on something as simple as proven physics? I thought we were all adults here.:facepalm:
