      How did you get IPhoto to do that I doesent on my MacBook do I have to change a setting?

      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.

            I know how you feel. My car and the truck are a little lose in the steering.

              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.

                              I think Hoppe got kicked out from surfing in class too once. We should start a tally board!

                                        This is disturbin' 

                                         

                                        One time on the freeway I was thinking to myself that the ideal scenario in a sudden-stop on the freeway would be to be behind a semi and in front of a sports car with an attentive driver (that way you dont rear-end or get rear-ended :P ). I was behind a semi and noted that a kia was behind me (not a sports car).  not 30 seconds later the freeway traffic came to a sudden stop. I had full faith in my E30s stopping ability but not in the reaction time or performance of the Kia behind me, so as soon as I saw the semi lock the trailer brakes, emitting smoke and chunks of rubber, I moved right onto the right shoulder to hit the brakes. The Kia slid in to the position I was just in and I would have been rear-ended and possibly submarined under the semi trailer. 

                                        I generally try to avoid following semis in heavy traffic if I dont have to. The geometric mis-match can turn a minor fender-bender into something awful.

                                          ^I always head for the shoulder, its something almost no one on the road does, and if they do, they don't head for the shoulder, they ditch dive. I always fear, with how low my car is, I'll go under a car. or a car rear ending me will hit and go into the cabin of the car. That and I hate car accidents. I've been in alot of brutal brutal car accidents as a passenger.

                                          The semi thing though, fuck would that suck. I never follow behind semi's
