How can i reduce weight in my acura integra but keep the seats in?
200Lbs is a lot of weight when you want to keep the car "normal" looking. Usually you strip out everything in the trunk, the seats, headliner, carpet, all the sound deadening, cut and cap the AC. etc. More extreme weight saving includes things like removing the dashboard, all interior trim, converting it to manual steering... 90% of your weight savings is going to come from removing the spare tire and all the carpet and padding from the trunk, removing the rear seat, replace the front seats with carbon fiber race buckets, the interior carpet, and the sound deadening from the passenger compartment, but even then, you are going to be hard pressed to save 200lbs. Basically, "cutting weight" is for race cars looking to shave tenths of a second off lap times. You are going to sacrifice tons of comfort and style on a street car to save 200Lbs Your only hope of saving weight without killing comfort is to replace the hood, trunk, fenders and doors with carbon fiber. You can get close to 200Lbs then, but it is going to cost thousands in parts and painting

What are some characteristics of meth addicts?
Rather than the obvious signs of the homeless rock-bottom addict, perhaps it may be more useful to see some of the earlier subtle signs:-Weight loss despite junk food diet. They may appear pleasantly trim.-Bad skin-Very talkative, full of ideas. Can be intellectually interesting and engaging but at some point it feels they are talking at you more than with you.-No meaningful follow through on said big ideas.-Prone to irrational shifts into angry outbursts. These can be very quick and weird in normal conversation. -vanishing, unreliable to time commitments... Like not answering the phone all weekend, with vague explanations. In reality they were asleep for 3 days.-strange tooth decay, like along the sides of the front teeth. Teeth ground down.-hypersexual at times in risky ways-extremely clean house. Spotless bathrooms and kitchens. And yet there may be a nasty pile of junk hidden somewhere with piles of unfinished projects and found objects -spastic bird-like motions. If they are into dancing this might seem normal -rapid shifts in mood. They may go from sluggish and grumpy to quick and talkative after a short bathroom break.-weird hours in general. Like texting you at 5am with some sort of question -paranoid delusions. This doesn't have to be conspiracy theories and mind control, it could be extreme jealousy and accusations directed at you. Then it may get weirder with obsessions that various people or entities are watching them.-fascination with parts of objects.Contrary to expectations, there are severe meth addicts out there who hold down jobs and the appearance of normal life. In fact meth is a drug that can actually increase brain speed and productivity. Meth users are not stupid while high, but they end up irrational. They are dimwitted only when coming down. This makes the addiction very insidious as the addiction outsmarts the addict and the people around them in subtly sophisticated ways.
Harley davidson vs. crotch rockets?
As long as you live, you will never - ever get a straight answer on this question. I have ridden all my life and have ridden everything. There was even a person on this question that said a Harley keeps "10 times it's value" which is completely false and misleading. Remember, you also paid more for the Harley. In today's technology there is NO difference between one brand and another. Japanese, American, British, Italian and now the Chinese are all making absolutely great motorcycles. Get what you like and not what someone dictates to you. You ARE what you ride and you need to feel good riding it. The old myths about Harley Davidson and it's leaking motorcycles is no longer. The innovation of the computer has made engines, frames and comfort untouchable from the bikes of the 70's and 80's. There is no such thing as a bad motorcycle --- just a bad rider!
