  1. It's an auto, so it's not like it will fry your clutch leaking a bit. Leave it, unless it is leaking badly.
  2. WOW, that room is CRAMPED. Janet and I went on a cruise to Key West/Nassau at the end of Feburary this year (where I proposed). Our room was the fairly standard ocean view room (not a suite), and had to have been twice that size. The bathroom was small, but not nearly that cramped. The bed had room around it as well. That is a tight fit right there! It is...until you cruise around it with a local (we know someone there that has a winter home there) that knows all the hot spots; then we were sad we didn't get to stay MUCH longer. There are plenty of places to party/eat/drink even in the middle of the day.
  3. Still more than 400lbs LESS than the Challenger. Still too heavy. It would be nice if they offered a non-IRS version. I'll have to see some real-world photos before I make a final opinion on the car.
  4. Sadly, even if given a house that nice (as one would assume the home is huge and matching to that garage), you still couldn't afford to live there, as the property tax would be out of this world. 6 figure property tax FTL.
  5. The temp reading on my Avalanche is VERY accurate after the first 1-2 miles of driving (so it can cool off from baking in the sun). I'm sure my fiancée's A4 will get that kind of mileage freeway only too, without being some lame-o front wheel driver. I love the TL's, I HATE the FWD. The new TL's are supposed to be AWD...but I also hear they won't look as good either.
  6. I just bought and installed 3 sticks. Seems to be working perfectly. All were new as described, PC recognized all of them. Passed the Vista Hardware rating tool; memory was @ 2GB (1GB stick that's still in it, 2 512 OCZ sticks), and was rated @ a 4.2. Threw in these 3 sticks, pulled out the OCZ sticks, and now rated at a 4.7 with no changes in the BIOS. IIRC, these are very slightly overclocked in my system too. Easy experience, so I feel confident telling others to buy away. Great price for DDR too! I'll be selling my OCZ sticks too, but for way more than the price of these 1GB sticks, as they are an overclocker's item.
  7. I think I'll be spending more money on gas to get to my wedding than that whole thing cost! Can't get much more white trash than that.
  8. Remove the wing. I bet you will notice zero difference in handling.
  9. Anything to reduce the ricer population...and honestly, that's what NOPI was really all about.
  10. Upconverts to 1080p, but what is that really going to do vs. a 1080i upconversion. In the end, it is still a 480i source, so I doubt you'll see any difference at all. At $100, that's a bit steep for my pocket book on a singe disc upconversion player.
  11. Then why do the Audi A4 2.0T Quattros get such good mileage? Even modded like Jones's...hell, his gets better mileage than stock putting down numbers approaching 300 to the wheels w/ a downpipe and tune.
  12. I don't buy cars because of where they are built. I buy cars because they are what I want. And it just so happens, for the money I have and the kind of vehicles I want, the domestics have the best bang for the buck.
  13. I LOVE how this guys defender is driving a ricey looking N/A rotary. Ricers standing up for ricers; isn't it cute?
  14. You are assuming the GTR is actually shown as the production car. I will bet when all is said and done, and the actual FACTORY GTR's come out, it won't keep up with a stock Z06.
  15. I am going to take a wild stab at this, but if you can afford that car, I bet you can afford a set of aftermarket wheels and an aftermarket hood. Which all is available right now that will fit that car perfectly. Uses the same exhaust setup as the Z06, so that's a big aftermarket item that won't need any development. I bet there are aftermarket pulleys available for it within a couple of months........
  16. As I posted in another thread, there has been evidence that the car that ran the ring WAS a VSPEC car, at least as far as suspension/tune is concerned.
  17. It is pretty rare that I laugh out loud when surfing through the net, but that picture fucking did it! It doesn't surprise me at all that you would be friends with that guy. Is your buddy trying to have the dumbest looking S2000 in Columbus? And then look hard with his little pink gun?
  18. I'd guess fairly soon, as I know they have been doing tests on some higher speeds. We already offer 8Mbps for our business customers. As for AT&T and their fiber claims...sure they have fiber, to their CO's. Then it is the same twisted pair it has always been. We have always had fiber to our nodes, which tend to be CLOSER than the CO's for most people. Perhaps it's a marketing scheme WOW should try using as well. And honestly, unless that fiber is hitting INTO your house (not your back yard), there will be a bottleneck somewhere.
  19. I'd like to help, but only if you were paying for the television service. Otherwise, I'd filter out your TV service as soon as I arrived. I'm a Nazi about cutting illegals and trapping non-television customers.
  20. I already PM'ed you once offering to have ME come out and look at it. If there is anyone that is going to get it fixed right, it is me. I just have to set up a time, as I've been crazy busy at work for the past who knows how long now.
  21. Yes it is, because that bandwidth that is being used up will be able to be used for other things...such as more channels. Besides, even with the max channels WOW used to offer Analog, it was 3 HBO's, vs. the 10 HBO channels on Digital.
  22. I fucking HATE that song. The song is fucking retarded, as is anyone who enjoys that shit. If you can even call it a "song." As for her...ummm, screw it, just shoot her.
  23. 80 hours of overtime a month = ~60 hours a week, assuming they have 40 hour work weeks there. Come on, there are TONS of people doing work like that. Tell me he was working 90-100+ hours a week, and then I can see a point. Now if he is overstressing himself over his job, that's a whole other issue. But that article seems to focus on the amount of time worked.
  24. **Shakes Head** I ain't afraid of no fuzzy 1's and 0's. If you go to an HD channel and have gray bars on the top and bottom, trying putting your TV on the correct input (either component or DVI/HDMI).
