nobody in this part of ohio...

Depends what you wanna do. If you want to saddle up and ride the TAT, DR wins. If you want to tackle some nasty single track, Katoom wins. If you want a great do-it-all bike with a decent maintenance schedule, DR wins.

neither do we.

Better off road. Oh, and you don't get the 'klr owner' stigma. this is a good thing.

you know, I did always have you pegged as a 'dry, chaffed, thirds' kinda guy.

Nobody wants to go to fookin newark.

Hooray!

What equipment do you plan on using with this system? cable box, bluray, game console(s)? Something that a true AV receiver will offer is video switching. Set the TV on one input and leave it there. Most package deals don't allow for that much functionality. They're intended for someone that watches cable and dvd's only. check out that onkyo/klipsch package I linked earlier. That is a pretty sweet system for $600.

No, I'm presenting hypothetical situations and you're laughing them off because they don't agree with your philosophy. Tell me, if you went in to look at the truck at 5pm and requested an overnight test, would you be ok with waiting 4 hours to do so?

Hahahahaha, I love it. "logical retort" Your expectations of a business are as fucked up as a football bat, dude.

Ever heard of first come, first serve? The fact is, a simple phone call would have negated this entire worthless thread. The dealer not required, under any circumstances, to keep a vehicle on the lot. What if it was out for a test drive for the last hour they were open? Would you be on here bitching about how they let that customer hog all the available test drive time? on second thought, don't answer that, I think I already know the answer.

it's in the user agreement for the forum. basically you can get sued for harassment and other bullshit for things you say to people. Casper is legally required to provide any personal info on you if subpoenaed including your name and IP address.

Why wouldn't the dealer do this? The situation: Mechanic: "My uncle wants to buy that SS, can I let him drive it over night? He'll be by tomorrow to sign the papers if he likes it." Dealer: OPTION A- "Sure, dude. Here's the keys. He's gonna love that truck, see you guys in the morning!" OPTION B- "Oh, I dunno, this thing is posted on the internet, I sure wouldn't want someone to come in here and look at it. Maybe take it for a test drive and then beat my balls over the price for 2 hours. I think it's best it stays here. Tell your uncle to get off his lazy ass and come down here."

Dude, it's not like it's bestbuy where they can monitor their inventory up to the second to keep lazy customers up to date. Expecting them to keep there website that accurate is asinine. Yes, the car WAS available. It was available to the UNCLE just as much as it was available to you. The ONLY thing the dealer did wrong was not call you the next morning like he said. Boo Hoo.

cablestogo.com is pretty good too.

nobody here is recommending anything that extreme. one area that 'theater in a box' fails in usually is inputs. Usually they only have one additional video input which means it's a PIA to connect say a PS3 and a cable box.

Fishing wires is EASY if you have access like that Samsung makes great TV's. This I know. I wouldn't use them for anything else besides BluRay.

Bose does a great job selling you a system that works well. What you don't get is really excellent performance. A properly setup system like the onkyo/klipsch one I linked to above will blow your Bose out of the water. The bose is simply easier to install and use. Aesthetics shouldn't have anything to do with your AUDIO purcases, Bose has simply convinced people to the contrary. BOSE: Better sound through engin..., er, marketing.

at most things. their technology reproduces the human voice better than anything else out there.

Straight answer? You're bitching because someone else bought a car that you wanted. PERIOD. How do you know the uncle didn't see it on the internet just like you? If your bike is posted on craigslist does that mean you can't sell it to one of your buddies?

you're right. they should have called every person in a 200 mile radius to see if they wanted it too.
