    If I were to pimp out my ride...

    Suppose that I actually won the lottery, bought a car, for the purpose of pimping it out.

    If I were to do it, I'm not entirely sure what car I'd buy as the base foundation, but I do know this:

    If I can, the rims would be probably aluminum alloy, with only a single wheel nut in the middle (like it is on a race car). (Probably by OZ Racing)

    Stereo systems would either be Bose or Bang & Olufson. (Anything else is for amateurs.)

    Struts would be replaced with Bose, but I'll have to check the mass and also do a mass balance on it to see what the impact will be on vehicle dynamics (as well as the packaging study to see whether it will even fit).

    If it's going to be turbocharged, I'll probably end up with either Honeywell, Garrett, or BorgWarner turbos.

    If I lower the car, I'll have to pretty much redesign the entire suspension system so that I can keep the instant center either AT or lower than the roll center.

    Transmission will either be from Ricardo or Xtrac. (Sequential automatic dry clutch.)

    Pistons would have to be Mahle.
    flow man:
    du/dt + u dot del u = - del P / rho + v vector_Laplacian u
    {\partial\mathbf{u}\over\partial t}+\mathbf{u}\cdot\nabla\mathbf{u} = -{\nabla P\over\rho} + \nu\nabla^2\mathbf{u}

    Is this a joke or are you serious?

    I refuse to participate in any debate with creationists because doing so would give them the "oxygen of respectability" that they want.
    Creationists don't mind being beaten in an argument. What matters to them is that I give them recognition by bothering to argue with them in public.

    You're kidding, right? Bose systems are for rich ameteurs who are conned into thinking they have the best. They really are no better than mid-range Pioneers, which doesnt say much for the quality...

    I can picture in my mind a world without hate, a world without violence.
    And I can picture us attacking that world, because they'd never expect it.
