Well, its offical. I finally destroyed one of my subs! Well, it's not totally destroyed, but I tore the Voice Coil so everytime the bass its the metal frame vibrates causing an annoying vibrating sound. Heading out with my friend on Wednesday to replace them. Hopefully I'll be able to get FutureShop to upgrade me to the 12" p2

Amazingly, considering how much I blare my music and spin my tires cops have never pulled me over... Wait there was this one time they did. In January some woman rear-ended me and smashed up my entire back end (the trunk frame was damaged) with the licence plate part falling off. I grabed my screwdriver and removed the plate and shoved it in my back window. When I was driving home on an area with no lights I got pulled over by the police. They saw that I had no rear licence plate and that said licence plate was in the rear window. He was gonna write me a ticket and I said "Did you ever check out the rear end of my car?" The cop looked puzzled, looked at the rear end angrily and came back and said "I'm sorry son, have a good day"... idiot. I've actually had police pull up beside me, give a sign to roll down my passenger window and say "You've got some nice sound" and then drive away... hahahaha. <3 my car

Howdy all! Long time no chat, eh? Thought I'd drop by and show you what I've been doing since leaving Azeroth. The biggest thing that I've been doing is working on my car and just crusin' around Winnipeg. Quite fun actually, especially on Sunday Nights. Just so you know, Sunday night in Winnipeg is called Cruse Night and you just drive all over the city, by yourself or with your Car Club. Watching all the cool cars go by and maybe have a few Who Makes it to the Limit First things. So, this is the car that i've been working on. It's nothing spectacular but its fun to drive. It's a 2004 Grand Am GT. http://members.shaw.ca/ultimatex4/100_1261.jpg http://members.shaw.ca/ultimatex4/100_1262.jpg http://members.shaw.ca/ultimatex4/100_1263.jpg I'm trying to keep it stock looking just because it looks really nice, and living in Winnipeg with huge snow storms in Winter and Pot Hole capital of Canada, those body kits just take a shit dive. The only work that has been done body wise is adding two decals on each side window (car clubs) and making a new Brake Light. I'll post those pics up later once i've taken them, hehe. I'm also probably gonna add a grill to the front of the car, probably in either a Chrome colour or standard Aluminum. I've upgraded the Stereo with a Kicker Livin' Loud ZX 400.1 amplifier and two Rockford Fosquake P1's (300W each). My friend help me merge the Monsoon Amplifier and the Kicker amp to give out 600 Watts of power the the subs. Amazingly I havn't blown them to shit yet, even though we've cranked it to full power. The whole car shakes, which probably isn't a good thing, so I keep em powered at 1/4. http://members.shaw.ca/ultimatex4/100_1264.jpg http://members.shaw.ca/ultimatex4/100_1265.jpg http://members.shaw.ca/ultimatex4/100_1266.jpg Yeah I hooked it all up into the factory stereo just because AutoTheft and Vandalism is huge is the city and I don't want my precious taken away from me (cue Gollum voice now). They did a really good job hiding the bass boost in the car that it is virtually impossible to locate it. I'm really trying to stay away from any performance upgrades just because they are freakin' expensive and honestly I don't need a horsepower boost... yet. I just put in a new K&N Air Filter because my warrenty is expiring and I don't want to have to replace the shitty GM one's every XXXX KM. Just gotta clean that sucker and re use it. I'm probably going to add in a Sway Bar in the front, but not 100% sure. New spark plugs are going in because I'm aming to get those red ones to match the paint of my car. New headlight bulbs i'm picking up (Ultra White) because my headlights suck balls, the high beams included. Hell when I'm driving home at night (live near the outskirts of Winnipeg) there are few street lights. The fog lights are brighter than my low beams and the high beams maybe extend a few feet more than the low beams. Though typical GM says that it is in "Proper Working Order", kinda like what Blizzard says all those times. Besides from my car, I hang out with my friends when I'm not working (I work at a Car Wash, so i get access to over $5,000 worth of washing stuff, huzzah!) and try to catch as many movies as I can with my friends. Maybe this summer I'll see some of you because I'm heading down the States a lot this summer and across Canada. Who knows... Chris "Exist2Inspire" MacKinnon

Yeah, the WPS (Winnipeg Police Service) is introducing this as well. Gonna be nice and hopefully it will cut back the amount of unfound stolen cars.

I hope i'm posting in the right place, so here goes. Does any Prophet own an '05 Grand Am GT? I'm trying to find the Highest End Monsoon Radio from these cars as I would like to add XM radio to it, but none of the wreckers in the city have any '05. I really just want to know if you just need to subscribe to XM through GM for it to work or do you need those external ones? My car, for some reason completely beyond me, only has one Cigerette light which is being used 100% of the time (FM Transmitter for Laptop/iPod) and i'm too lazy/dont want to add another lighter. The other reason I need the damned XM-Ready radio so I can use the AUX to Car adapter for my iPod/Laptop as the FM Transmitter is a pain sometimes. And I don't want to buy an Aftermarket HU because the Car Theft/Vandalism is a pain in the butt up here and our Insurance Agency (one for all of Manitoba, MPI) will only give you money for said aftermarket HU and not replace it (the money you get is either what you paid for it - depreciated value [if you have the recipt] or some stupid flat rate of $75).... and I already got my Amp/Subs hooked up to my '04 Monsoon HU. Thanks! Chris MacKinnon

I should also say that all but 1 of my games doesn't work, everything else does (even that Atari 2600, and my NES games on the first boot) Dreamcast - NBC Showtime (Basketball Game feat. Shaq) I also have a crap load of PC games, though I rarely play them (darn you XP for not letting my play my Win95 games)

So what do you all Collect? ~Exist2Inspire

Hey all! Just thought i'd pass this website onto all of you, as I found it quite useful. Basically, it is a place where you can post custom and original covers for various games. Say you go to your local EB/Gamestop and buy Metal Gear Solid 2 for the PS2, but because the idiot who owned it before lost the cover, it has one of those cheesy handwritten ones. Well off this site you can download the original cover (It even has some custom ones and PAL/JPN ones as well). What's even better is they have some for Sega CD, Saturn, as well as your Game Boy (Original, Advance, Colour), Super Nintendo, NES and N64. Cool huh? You can order special cases for most of the cartrudge games off this site: http://www.mediashelving.com/Merchant2/mer...tegory_Code=VHS and then print off the covers for easy recognization! Here are some examples of what I mean: http://members.shaw.ca/ultimatex4/mmx.jpg http://members.shaw.ca/ultimatex4/bot9Green.jpg Anywhos, the link to the Cover Project is: http://www.thecoverproject.net/index.php Hopefully this site can be useful to you!

Hello FP! How is everyone doing? Happy New Year by the way! I've decided to stop by and see how everyone is doing today, as it has been a while since I was last here (Septemeber 21 as I believe the homepage said). I've been having a great time at my second year of University! All A's and B's in my first semester, and hopefully I can keep it up for this semester as well. I'm still not 100% sure what faculity i'm going to major in, but i've tied it down to something within Business or Computer Science (maybe both... maybe). I had a blast during the fall and early winter with my car. I mananged to put in a 400 Watt Kicker Amplifier and 2 10" Rockford Fosgate Subs... boy does my Grand Am sound kick ass. Unfortunately, this past Tuesday some woman rear ended my car, and it took some serious damage. http://members.shaw.ca/ultimatex4/BackEnd01.jpeg http://members.shaw.ca/ultimatex4/BackEnd02.jpeg Not pretty, eh? The worst part was I had to clean it before the insurance company would inspect it (so they catch all the damage), and boy, there was a lot more damage than I though. The rear frame is bent and the outside frame to the trunk is bent... big time. I hope they don't write it off ('04, under 50,000 KM's), but even if they do I have New Car Guarntee (as it is still under warrenty) and my Insurance Company will find me the next best Grand Am that has under 50,000K and is a GT. Plus, it's my birthday as well! YAY! Turning 20 on Monday, January 22. And I also managed to snag a Wii 2 weeks ago, and got an Xbox 360 for Christmas (Wii60 ). I'll post up my Wii Code and Gamertag shortly. Enjoy the new year, and i'll try to post more often.
