First of all, I'm curious if anyone else here at NAXJA has partaken in the genomic testing service offered by 23andMe. I have, and it was worth every penny. I've spent hours looking over my results, especially the ancestry portion of the results. Turns out, my dad is in the 99th percentile for...

George W. Romney, was president of AMC for the company's first 8 years? I definitely didn't. I randomly stumbled across this fact and was pretty surprised. Is this common knowledge or are some of you surprised too? I guess ya learn somethin new everyday. Not that this will affect my vote or...

I know I know, another "police shooting" thread - I just couldn't help myself. Qp8TGMvPuSE What say you? It's funny how people jump to conclusions about the second series of shots, when you can't see the suspect or what he is doing whatsoever. Especially considering the fact that the guy had...

I've noticed in the last few years that a lot of cars now days are running ridiculously high (for a grocery getter, in some cases) compression ratios but burn 87 octane. And a lot of the sports cars are running really high compression ratios and sometimes even with boost and still getting by...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WmEHcOc0Sys&feature=player_embedded The title of this video is interesting. They must have a funny definition of "win." Secondly, I know that the Marines are a large group of people from all kinds of different backgrounds, but this guy certainly doesn't strike me...

What else is new right? Video here. It's fairly cut and dry, what you see in the video is pretty much what happened. I will say however that the subject fought with officers during his arrest, I think that's pertinent. I know there's some input around here ;)

Then followed by me laughing my ass off. Nice! Here it is.

I just saw a new GC commercial where they talk about its "watertight drivetrain" and it got me thinking. I wonder what they do to make the drivetrain "watertight." The benefits are obvious. I know that people have been fording water just fine for years without "watertight" drivetrains but I...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRZ2Sh5-XuM&feature=player_embedded I thought it was just weird for the sake of being weird till I read the sign at the end. Still weird though :wierd:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZdDxjge5hmY The funniest thing I've seen in a while. Apparently I'm an a**hole :dunno:

In reference to this thread: http://naxja.org/forum/showthread.php?t=1066469 SW is the up/down switch, L1 and L2 are latching SPDT relays, R1 and R2 are normally closed relays, R3 is a DPDT relay, and T1 and T2 are the (thermistor) resettable fuses. What I'm trying to make is an automatically...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=qfBSSCIy-mY Here's the story: http://www.ktvu.com/news/28573517/detail.html Sometimes I can't get over how incredibly stupid people are... Thought it was interesting and I'm curious what a more reasonable crowd (possibly ;)) thinks about...

How do the auto power windows work? The type that go all the way up or down just by a single momentary push of the button. What turns off the motor? I doubt it's a limit switch set up. I suspect that it detects the increased current of when the window motor stalls, and cuts power. So my question...

My stock denso is finally starting to kick the bucket after about 250,000 miles. It will never hit 14v, and that's at ~2000 rpm. At idle I'm doing good to get 10v out of it and with as many short trips as I make, my battery's starting to hate me. So of course, like 99% of everyone else on this...

I've googled the poo out of it and I can't find anything. Just wonderin if any of you all had any secret squirrel ideas. BFG makes some but they're all 15". Also, Interco makes one but they're outrageous expensive (almost $300 a piece! :shocked:) The metric size is 265/80/16. I might have to...

In my google "researching" before I go out and buy a radiator restrictor, I found this: http://www.4g63turbo.com/tech/tstat.html Which turns everything I've previously heard about restrictors on it's head. While I'm still inclined to try a restrictor, I'm curious as to what your guys' take on...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzE-IMaegzQ Ok so you got a $50 ticket for doing something that is illegal. Pay it and shut up. Instead this guy acts like it's the end of the world and makes an absolutely retarded "protest" video :doh: Whether or not you agree with the law and/or the fines...

Any 12 volt fridge I've seen (ARB, Engel, etc.) is craaaazy expensive and I'm wondering why. I realize that they tend to have more insulation, for fairly obvious reasons; to keep the power consumption low. Also they tend to be "rugged," whatever that means. But the refrigeration system is...

Ok first off I'll give you my plan for my rig so we're clear on what I expect out of it. It's an expedition style rig, 33x10.5's, a decent amount of extra weight, no hardcore wheeling, my number 1 priority is reliability/durability and performance. My original plan was to replace my LP D30 with...
