I just rewatched Robocop. It was always great fun, but the genius of it was lost on me as a child viewer. Both the script and the directional choices that had to be made along the way were terrific. The car, 6000 SUX, is dangled in front of the audiance many times. But never for Robocop, he gets a boring Ford Taurus. Why, because he is still a public servant. Goodguys and badguys are chewing gum throughout the movie. A hint that, they aren't so different, and maybe a few life choices could have eirher one going a different way. The badguy gang is so well cast. The taller black guy has a sadistic cackle that makes him memorable throughout. Clarence is smart, ruthless , and crazy in all the right ways. The OCP executives are well cast too. Dick Jones and Bob Morton are excellent business rivals, making for a palpable B story. The Preaident of OCP (the Old Man) is never given a name. He is the every-man that still believes you can succeed in an honest way. He smartly utters "You're Fired" showing that his situational awareness hasn't lost a beat in his old age. ED-209 being defeated by a simple thing like stairs sends its own measge about technology vs. common sense. And the 1 liners!! So many quatables:

Dead or Alive, you're coming with me.

I'd buy that for a dollar

Can you fly, Bobby?

State of the art bang bang!

I liiiiiiike it !!

Seriously... We don't need more humans, and we sure as crap don't need each of them to live for hundreds of years. When I was a kid there were 4 billion people. Now there are 8 billion. That means within just my lifetime, 50-ish years, we have doubled the Earth's human population. In another 50 years it will double again, that means from 8 to 16 billion. The wildlife population has already dropped 73%. Wanna keep going until its zero? We aren't the only ones who live here. Despite our god complex of being the superior species we still need nature and wildlife to thrive so we can survive. Do you not understand that competition for resources is the root cause of all conflict? More people than jobs, more poeple than food we can grow, more people than clean water.. it all ends badly and violently. Laws for human population control are political suicide, I get that, but geeze stop believing the propoganda that we need more people.

Luv ya sweety, but stop asking me whats going on, just look. No, you can not just listen to the dialog. Cinematography is silent and yields important ties to the plot.

As the title says.. i have a budget of around $1,000. What makes a stock 2024 VB more fun? My first thought is COBB TMIC.. its around 1k. Or do I go for brakes and maybe shifter bushing swap? Acceleration is fun but braking and turning is just as fun to me. Avoiding a tune option since it still has warranty left. What else should I at least consider?

Android phone. Sick of typing in my email so much. Just keep me logged in like before. It waa fine.

Assume no penalty for the extra heat. Assume 2,000RPM at 60mph

Assume 10 gallon tank

Assume 400 mile distance

Assume 70'F temps

Anything else?

The full symptom is, it stops straight as an arrow the first 4 or 5 stops, then it starts pulling right. The harder I press the pedal the more noticible it is. I have replaced:

*Both front calipers ( used same pads)

*Both front rubber lines

*Reseated both front steel lines in the distro block

*Bled all four corners.

Still pulls right under braking. Help.
