  1. I don't like any of the 3 canidates...at all. McCain will win, simply because it is unlikely America will vote in a black person or a woman as President...history has proven that thus far. God forbid we would get a good canidate to choose from.
  2. Yeah; I haven't dropped any calls with it. I'm on my second VX8600...the first one made a trip through the washer and dryer; oddly it stopped working. Currently running a Palm Centro for my work phone...it has been the best one I've had with Verizon thus far, but still will drop calls, poor reception, aweful data service, etc.
  3. It is pretty easy to beat. With Verizon I can get far more reliable data services, more bars in more places, less dropped calls, can actually make calls in a number of places sprint can't, etc. Just yesterday I was enjoying Sprints lack of reliable data service. Price means nothing when the service is garbage. I've been dealing with Sprint for years with a number of different phones thru work...I really hate them.
  4. My g/f and I booked our cruise last week...5 nights, from the 3rd to the 8th of March. Last minute deal = damn good deal. We decided to drive down (ship ports in Jacksonville, FL); we are leaving a few days early to hang out with a good friend of mine that has a pretty pimp place in Vero Beach. I'm bringing my slalom ski and wakeboard and taking his boat out...I've been dying to get on the water ever since it got cold. Might have to toss the wet suit on, as the water down there may be a little chilly this time of year. I can't wait to get out of this nasty weather. Only a week and a half to go!
  5. Wow, I went into Meijer to pick up a couple of items. When I walked in, there wasn't any snow on the ground. 20 minutes later, I'm walking out to everything covered in snow...which was covering a sheet of ice everywhere. I was having traction troubles even with 4WD and nearly new Nitto Terra Grapplers. I was doing better than anyone else I saw, but I was still having to watch the throttle a lot. Would have been fun had there not been a bunch of cars on the road.
  6. Why? - Faster - Nicer - Base model = in trim level to your loaded model, for about 3k more new MSRP vs MSRP. In 3 years, that IS will be worth WAAAAYY more than the Altima, most likely by 8-10k, making the IS a cheaper car to own. A G35 would be in a similar situation without quite the resale.
  7. Unless you rip the disc, remove all forms of copy protection, and re-encode it.
  8. I ended up getting the Pinnacle PCTV To Go HD Wireless. I already have the Slingbox AV (which was also being sold at an awesome price). I wanted to try this out, and if I like it better than the Slingbox, the Slingbox is gone...if not, I'll sell it for what I paid for it on E-bay or here. Wireless doesn't interest me at all (I've got parts of my house I normally connect to hardwired + wireless router), but the better input selection is intriguing.
  9. You have never met my lab/shepard mix. He has never growled at a person (excluding play growls doing tug of war and such). In his 17 and a half years, he has never once tried to be an alpha over a human. He is the alpha male over dogs, however.
  10. Good. Hopefully this will cause Blue Ray blank media to come down in price sooner, so I can finally adopt it.
  11. I've asked that question before, and they usually don't have a problem doing that for you.
  12. My 94 GT had about 207k when I got rid of it...ran fine. Needed some exhaust repair and a bit of front suspension work. I don't really miss it though. I'd take an LT1 F-body over that car in a heartbeat.
  13. I pay $160 a month for: - House insurance - Full Coverage on the Avalanche - Full Coverage on the boat - Theft/fire on the Formula (winter time). That's is with I think 250/250 deductables, and decent coverage for everything. All with State Farm.

    The Real Obama

    Hillary? Obama? McCain? If those are the choices, I vote "none of the above." I wouldn't want any of them as president.
  15. I don't think a 92 Hawk in that condition could go for that price.
  16. Cool looking dog, but I could never imagine having an agressive dog as a pet.
  17. Appliance Smart. I bought my fridge there years ago. Bought my folks a dishwasher for X-mas there this past year.
  18. That would make sense, since Toyota doesn't seem to believe in fast cars anymore, and hasn't for years.
  19. I had a bike, and knew if I didn't get rid of it, eventually something bad would happen. I feel safer in a car, and it is fun to outrun a bike in a car.
  20. What he said. Most ISP's do that, and for damn good reasons!
  21. I like both cars, and haven't spent any time behind the wheel of a C6 (but have been in a few of them), so I don't have first-hand experience to say if some of your claims are correct/incorrect. But the interior comment...come on! The C6 interior is way nicer than the C5 interior; I didn't even think that could be questioned.
