so i am watching a few items on ebay and i was wondering why the current bidder is named "i**4" or "m**m" and as a few of the auctions timed out all the bidders had similar titles with different letters or numbers with the same asterisks in the middle. are these bogus bidder? or is there something i am missing about ebay names?

The bleeder on the clutch is stuck, so I may need to get a new one.
THen comes the full custom exhaust, and smog cert. ( it is registered non-op right now)

Once that is done, I will take it to a meet.
And after the wheels/tires and suspension, it will be the auto-x car.

^no way that front piping looks like it leads to a front mount intercooler, if so JEDI are you getting a different front bumper? Are you looking to stay all Racing Beat and gettting the Racing Beat nose.

It's for privacy reasons.
If you're the seller, you can see the full name.
They hide the bidder's names so they don't get spam mail sent to them offering similar products for less.



Happy New Year Everyone!

To make the playoffs.....the Patriots needed to win their final two games (which they did). AND

They needed a Jets loss in the last two weeks (which happened)

AND

They needed a Miami loss in the last two weeks (which did not happen)

OR

They needed a Ravens loss to the Jaguars on the last week of the season (which did not happen).

too complicated.
NBA playoff rules are SO much simpler. Top 8 teams from each Conference get to dance. The rest are off fishing...

^^ yeah but that is a bummer, i bet the pats could have played a whole lot better then the dolphins did. it is just strange to see a team with a 11-5 record not make the playoffs and a 8-8 team did. NBA has a better system as the top 8 teams in each confrence go, that assure the best teams are in.

It does get a bit tricky from time to time with the NB due to winning your division, etc but NFL takes the cake every year. Probably because less teams go to the playoffs, it gets much more competitive (ie; complicated)

This is why I kept my broken pedal...and I kept the repair bill. That was not a cheap part, and I imagine evenatually there will be a TSB, and hopefully I can get reimbursed for the part I bought that didn't break "because I drove the car too hard".

Yup, same thing I was thinking about as I saw the Dolphins flounder against the Raven's top defense. But then I thought back to how the Patriots performed with their rookie QB against another top defense, the Steelers. All in all, there are a couple of poor teams in the playoffs, and a couple of historically good teams that are not.

But, to be honest, I'm glad the season is over for the Pats....injuries have just been to much of a factor this year. I do hope Bellichek gets coach of the year, because he did do a lot this year to put together a winning season....but I have a feeling they'll go with someone that made the playoffs...maybe the Dolphins or Falcons....or maybe the coach for Arizona. Programs that have not been in the playoffs for some time now....and made big improvements from last year.

any update on Brady? There's been some reports that he's 'behind' in his rehab?
I hope that's not true, I"d love to see the guy come back and play at the level we're accustomed to seeing

Ebay changed their formatting and are now hiding bidders info.....so now you have no way of knowing who is bidding on what....you don't get the info on the one who wins either.

I think this is crap though, because I know I used to bid on my own auctions back in the day, with a second bogus acount....Now it is just easier for people to hide that they are doing that.
