I decided to look at the list of active users on the site tonight and saw something strange. There was a guest, and he was browsing a users profile. I looked at the profile and it was mine! Made me kind of curious so I went to http://ws.arin.net/cgi-bin/whois.pl and entered the IP address. I won't give you the whole one, but the first two octets were 65.54.
Here is what came up:

Hell, probably, he's got his eye on everything I'm sure. Look at home PC's. Everybody has Windows Version XX. What's to say that he doesn't have something in every program that monitors stuff we do. I don't want to sound paranoid, because I'm not, but think about it this way, if you don't like it, don't use the software.

On a lighter note, that is kinda funny. It's prolly just one of those search engines that msn.com has right??

65.54... would refer to a dial up modem, i dont think microsoft would use a dial up, lol.its probably a microsoft server, plus its been in use since 2001, so im pretty sure microsoft wouldent be using such outdated technolagy
Maybe Bill Gates is going to buy a Tiburon and get a turbocharger for it. So he is going to PM me and offer me $30,000 dollars to design him a kit and tell him what to buy, because like all newbs Bill Gates does not know how to use the search button.
QUOTE (Kit-Fox)
shiats, man if ole Billy would want to get a RD2 hed end up getting a Lotus that looks like an RD2 (btw thats what our body is made off of)
Kit, where do you get this stuff? The Lotus Elise was originally built in 1995, a year before the first RD1 was produced (Some were built in 96).. the current facelifted version of the elise was produced AFTER the RD series of Tiburon ended production.
Just because the Elise has four lights on the front (two of which are turnsignals) and it is a curvy body does not mean the Tib was designed off of it.
QUOTE
I had forgotten that Porsche helped with the suspension. Didn't Lotus help desighn the body on the RD2?
^^^
i belive what i read lol, its my own personal opinion also lol, i belive Hyndai borrowed the design from Lotus
