      Sorry to hear about your accident man! I am real glad you didn't die or get anything too serious. What car did you crash, the VW?

        Yes the vw! I'm rather glad I'm okay, and also super glad no one else got hurt. I'm also pretty stoked I got rid of that Volkswagen...

            Max file upload size for attachments is 512kb. Before uploading pics you should reduce the file size by making the image a manageably size (1200x900) or reducing the quality or both. Some photo programs with do this automatically with a "export to web" function.

            The original image below was 3264x2448 at 3.5mb. Saving the file to large and medium quality exporting it through iPhoto put the image to 1280 × 960 pixels and 274 kb in size.

                  I'm running the latest version of iPhoto but this has been a feature for a while now. Just go to File > Export and the first pane is what you want to use for file export.

                  Madison isn't to bad for getting around unless your going downtown. Thats when things get confusing !

                      This drive is sucking. Well the crooked steering at least. Was supposed to get my car realigned before my trip to madison. Go there and the guy says he can't do it today.

                          Steering parts shouldn't be aloud to wear out.

                            Brake lines shouldn't rust out. Why not just use aluminum? Darn cars!

                              Very true but then there is corrosion:( there has to be a solution to everything we just haven't found it yet

                                To reduce wear in metal, you increase hardness. When you increase hardness you increase brittleness. As long as we are limited by materials, we will have to choose our compromise.  IC engines would be far more efficient than they are now if a cooling system was not required to remove heat from the engine. A material that could withstand the heat of combustion without failing could be used to produce regular low rpm (<6500rpm) 2.0 I4 engines which could possibly produce 400hp in NA form.
