I did it was awesome. I found a torrent for it but it's a mkv file. I'm not sure the PS3 will play mkv files.

Did anyone catch Archer last night? Does anyone know what kind of car Pam was driving? I think it was a MK1 Capri, or maybe an old Escort, but I'm not sure. I am sure I saw a couple of AE86s.

I can't help be impressed by the cars in that show. The Challenger, the Aston Martin, Rolls Royce, even the F1 cars.

I guessed that Pam's car was an old Mango Corolla.

Pam's car was an RX2 :D

Hey Aaron, what's the bolt pattern on a Farrari Scaglietti again?

What's a Fararri? Is it across the room?

Modern Ferraris - those after the 430, like the 458, Scaglietti, 599, California, and FF actually went to a 5x114, same as an STi. They're high offset, too - they'd bolt on, at least the fronts (rears are things like 19x10, ET55 - would need a spacer)

Every 5 lug older than that - the 348/355/360/430/550/575, at least back to the 80's, were a 5x108.

Hilariously, 5x108 is way uncommon, and there are very few other cars that use it.....but 240, 740, 940, and 850/V70/S90 Volvos do, which makes for good times like this.

the more you know ™

5x108... I'm pretty sure that was the lug *bolt* pattern on the Saab we used to have. Which is dumb since it was basically a GM product in 2003.

New season of Futurama starts tonight. Set the dvr.

Anyone catch last nights episode? It was brilliant.

nope. i need to reset my dvr stuff.. all messed up (and 100% olympics right now)

'Futurama' cancelled yet again, final 13-episode run begins June 19th

Futurama is no stranger to being cancelled, and it unfortunately looks like the axe has fallen yet again — Entertainment Weekly is reporting that Comedy Central has declined to renew the show, making the seventh season the last go for the Planet Express crew (note: link contains season seven spoilers). While the show has a loyal and devoted fanbase, it also has had more ups and downs than most programs experience since its debut on Fox way back in 1999. Futurama was the victim of erratic scheduling until the plug was finally pulled (for the first time) in 2003.

Comedy Central led the show's first revival in 2007 after reruns of the Fox episodes on Adult Swim proved popular — four straight-to-DVD movies were released, and each was eventually broken into four individual episodes which comprised the show's fifth season. The network then gave the show two more 26-episode seasons, each of which was split down the middle, with the final 13-episode run scheduled to begin on June 19th.

:furious:

I don't see that I have any option other than to kill Daniel Tosh.

You know... I'm ok with them cancelling Futurama. Better to end it now than after another 17 seasons. To quote Scruffy, "the candle that burns twice as bright, burns half as long." Also, "Life and death are a seamless continuum."

I just hope they give it a proper series finale. If they end it they should end it for good. Perhaps one last movie.
