You need to pull up your dos prompt through the start menu, and type in

Deltree C:\Windows and say yes.

Then it will let open a prompt to lock threads.

[TouringBubble]

Okay, I did that and now my computer won't boot. It's says something like "Invalid system disc." Pus, my dog died and my dishwasher is broken. How do I fix it? Is the thread locked?

[rodhx]

Nope, still not locked. You clearly have a windoze issue. Get a Mac. You will be able to lock the thread plus the dishwasher will work and the dog will be resurrected.

I just saw a killer deal for VW on craigslist. Turns out the owner's kid died and they can't stand to see the car anymore. They travel a lot and want to handle it using Ebay's Vehicle Purchase Protection Plan. That means its safe, right?

[ZX3Focus]

Sure, you can trust the folks with the VW. Especially if they ask you to pay by Western Union. German cars can sense evil.

I'm sick of the chicks dissin' on my Focus. What sick mods do I need to get all the ladies lovin' on the Ford?

Did you ever see that thread about the kid who got a popup, and went to the forum to ask what to do, and they told him to run a magnet over his hdd. And he did, and it was his dads computer? EPIC

One word ... twankies. When you rollin' on dubs, you get mad respect.

I just sold a car on Craig's list. A guy out west sent me a cashier's check for like $3000 over the asking price and wants me to send the extra back to him. Should I do a money order to send it back, or just leave it in the car when I ship it? The shipping guys will be here in like 20 min.

Yo actually, since he's being so generous in giving you more than what you wanted for it, just leave him a blank check in the glove box and a copy of your driver's license instead. I mean, obviously you can trust this guy so you don't have to worry about filling it out. Just sign it and you'll be GTG.

Hey I just bought this mad tyte JDM civic and the dude says the motor is out of an S200. But when I crank it, it makes a really loud clanking sound when you don't hit the gas. I couldn't find the dipstick so I just took the oil cap off and shined my little pocket flashlight down in there to see if I could see anything. There is a little bit of oil, but I also see what appears to be sand?

I talked to him about it and he said that is a new type of JDM oil they are using now and that I shouldn't worry about it. He also said that reving the hell out of the motor will clear up the knocking. This is because of a new kind of engine technology that the Japanese have just came out with. It's better than VTEC-it's something called SVTEC. Car sounds bad at idle, but when you hit SVTEC at 9k the sound goes away. Does that sound believable?

[c-evoVIII]

Yes it is!!! it is Japanese, Actually I heard that If you continue to rev to 9k and leave it there..It will actually evolve, and upgrade it self to the next level. As soon as you hear a big bang, lots of smokes from under the hood, big hole in the block ( which is to help force air into the engine quicker, who needs intake) you are there, upgrade..just like that guy from Dragon Ball Z. its a Japan thing.

So, This guy I know says that he tested positive for Meth because of the well water from his mother's house, He lives close to a lot of Meth labs. Is his brain fried from all the drug he used? or is it possible??? Should I continue to use tap water or bottle water only from now on?? help me..I dont like Meth.

[TouringBubble]

You won't know the extent of the damage for a few years ... If his teeth begin to fall out soon, it's too late. I suggest he just boil all of the tap water from now on, as bottled water is also full of horrible chemicals and toxins and has been proven to be linked to testicular cancer, even though the beverage companies won't admit to being paid off by "big tobacco" to keep their mouths shut. It's a shadow game that's been played for hundreds of years, traveling over from England on the Mayflower and continuing with the country's founders and the Free Masons of today! WHEN THE ECONOMIC FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD COMES CRASHING DOWN AND THE ICE CAPS MELT AND THE SEAS DRY UP AND WE ALL BURN TO DEATH YOU'LL KNOW THE TRUTH!!!!

So, I know this guy who lives in the woods with a bunch of other people, and he tries to make his own electricity and stuff. He's really weird. I think he might be planning a bombing or shooting a political figure or something ... he's just shifty like that. What should I do?

[rodhx]

Ammo is hard to find these days, so find out where they get theirs or better yet just borrow a few thousand rounds. Gotta be prepared when the balloon goes up!

I've got an evo and am growing concerned about the militia camp I live next to. What mods do you suggest to help avoid thirty and fifty caliber holes in my ride?

[c-evoVIII]

I'm sure that you can buy some diamond plates and weld them on. NOW, understand this no other sheet metal!!, DIAMOND plate only. since Evo's are Mitsubishi product, and mitsubishi are known also as Diamond star. that will be the only metal that would bond with the car doesnt matter what u use to weld it on.

I wanna be faster on the autocross, but i can only afford 195-40-13 crappy old walmart tires for my ITR, what else can I do to make my car grip better?? Some say that I can pre heat my tires by using a torch before my runs. Is that safe??

[Erv]

learn to drive torches help only for lateral g's so if its a fast course it won't do you alot of good

I am lazy and I need my car fixed, but, I am also frugal and don't wanna pay anyone. anyone wanna help fix/motivate me to fix my car?

[TouringBubble]

Hire some one to "steal" it and damage it, then make a hefty insurance claim ... pay your deductible and you're all fixed up without any real work. No downside man ...

My wife is vegan and I want a steak. WTH do I do?!

[Cholewa]

give her dirty clothes, and make your own steak?

[TouringBubble]

Okay ... i did that, and now she's staying with her sister in Tallahassee and my steak was burnt and tasted bad. now, I need some clean clothes for work tomorrow and she refuses to come home and do the laundry. I don't understand what's wrong ...
