  1. Dexter: The Game - Game - iOS - Free (Installous + Jailbreak) - Basically you play half of the first season of Dexter. It is a very well done game. A must for any fan of the show. Chase - Banking - iOS/Android - Free - Online banking. You can also deposit checks with your phone, which is a HUGE plus Ebay - Shopping - iOS/Android - Free - The Ebay ap is very well done. Also get push notifications for when auctions are ending = never miss an auction again. I use this ap a lot. Winterboard - Utilites - iOS - Free (through Cydia) - Utility that allows you to reskin your phone, plus some other functionality. Pandora Skip Hack - Utilities - iOS (not Android from what I'm nold) - Free (Cydia) - Utility that modifies your Pandora so that you are now 100% commercial free AND get unlimited fast forwards. It is awesome, works flawlessly. TomTom - GPS - iOS/Android (I think Android) - Free (Installous) - GPS software. I've tried a bunch of the expensive ones, Motion GPS, Navigon, etc...this one has the best POI and accurate maps. Navigon has a better interface and looks nicer, but in the end, maps and POI are the most important thing, and the TomTom is where it is at. Slingplayer - Video - iOS/Android - Free (Installous) - Lets you watch your Slingbox PhoneFlicks - Netflix utility - iOS/Android (not sure on Android) - Free - let's you do some stuff that is harder/impossible to do with the Netflix ap. This ap was out before Netflix even had one, and I suggest having both aps. IMDb - Movie Database - iOS/Android - Free - Just like their website, but works very well for a mobile device. pic2shop - Shopping - iOS/Android (maybe Android) - Free - Scan bar codes, then it will search Amazon, Buy.com, and a few other places for the item. Great shopping tool, can save you a fortune. Plus others mentioned in previous posts, and a pile of other stuff I have as well (Facebook, GoSkyWatch, iTriage, ESPN Score Center, Sleep Machine, Angry Birds/Angry Birgs Holiday edition, 3 Sudoko games, tons of board/video games, etc.)
  2. Home. Plenty of booze, large TV, comfortable and I don't have to drive anywhere.
  3. .4 miles. My back yard backs up to Powell addresses, and there are address further away by a couple of miles into the country that are Powell.
  4. Umm, they were fine when she bought the car over 2.5 years ago. Didn't notice them peeling until this past summer. If it was like that when she bought it, you can be sure it would have been cared for prior to getting the car (like a couple other minor issues were).
  5. Could also be a rusty radiator, and you are leaking out a mix of orange coolant and crud. Or numerous other issues. What makes you think it is a head gasket?
  6. The technology won't be what keeps Sirius alive. The exclusive content is what will do it. Exclusive sports, news, and talk radio are what will keep it alive - Pandora is already better for music-only content. Want NFL radio, Howard Stern, etc.? It's Sirius or nothing. There is a reason they renew these pricey contracts.
  7. If it was negligence, shouldn't the rest of the wheel show some sort of wear? The finish on the wheels is perfect except for the center caps.
  8. No shit...we both know your house is FAR nicer, bigger, a lot more land, and in a MUCH better area. Yet somehow people in this thread think that is a fair tax rate, lol.
  9. Ugly. I would remove them ASAP.
  10. I got some clearance stuff for my Reynoldsburg house; $.88 a sq/ft (with the foam underlayment). Seems to be holding up fine for the tenant there, at least last time I saw it. Looked far more expensive than what I paid - had they had enough, I would have purchased some for my house as well. Don't pay someone to lay the laminate - it isn't all that hard to do yourself, and is a pretty satisfying project.
  11. - Doesn't meet the fuel economy requirement - Not a lot of them were within budget in 08 - mostly higher mileage stuff. - Bigger than my wife wanted, so it wasn't even an option regardless
  12. The dealer has done all the service except: - Tires / alingment - Battery (they wanted almost 3x what it cost me to do it myself - f' that) - Tail light bulb The for most of the car's life, it was serviced free by Audi. Warranty work, a bunch of recalls, and oil changes have always been done by Audi (costs about the same for Audi to change the oil as for me to do it myself, assuming I use all the Audi-specific stuff).
  13. Can't - I'm not a resident of Reynoldsburg. You get more for your money there though. Not saying their taxes are fair either...
  14. SRX is an SUV that also doesn't get mid-20's on the highway. CTS-4 came out as an 08 - you couldn't get one for under 40k at that time, let alone under 30k. Had an 06-07 been offered in AWD, it would have been considered. Sorry if I was asking for help on an issue that I feel should rest on Audi's shoulders.
  15. It's my wife's car, she likes it, so it stays. Hell, the next one will probably be a B8 A4/S4. I like the car too, but some of these issues shouldn't be happening. God forbid I ask how I can get an issue resolved that shouldn't be happening, and it obviously isn't an uncommon issue if someone else posts having the same issue with their A4.
  16. How the fuck would you know - you can't even see the rest of the site. If you want some powder my ass and feel good site, you sure as hell don't belong here.
  17. Sorry if the damn thing springs a coolant leak because of a major design flaw. Or I need to check the cam follower because of another design flaw.
  18. Please name a GM back in 08 you could buy used between 20-30k that: - Had AWD - Got at least mid 20's MPG on the highway - Nice interior Name me ANY GM that qualified. I know I didn't find one. The other domestic camps had nothing either. I don't care if it got blasted by brake dust for 100k miles, it still isn't acceptable.
  19. I'll post some pics with my 460GTX shows up, as I need to clean up some wiring in there when I put in the new card anyway.
  20. These are discolored - they are peeling off. And the brake pads on this car dust so much that 2 days of driving will cover the wheels in dust. Who the hell washes their daily driver every other day? So I should replace the wheels on a 50k mile car because Audi can't put a decent finish on the center caps? I'm not sinking money into those rims - would rather get RS4 replicas. It is a daily driver, so it is not getting lowered. It is embarassing that that these center caps are peeling at 50k miles - even if they had never been washed ever. This isn't chrome pitting, this is paint peeling off.
  21. I can tell you for 99% sure it is the brake dust that did it. She never rotated the tires on the factory tires, and hasn't yet on the new tires, so those front ones have always been getting blasted with the heavy coating of brake dust that the Audi pads love to deliver, which is more so on the fronts. So you can blame in on the pads - but they are Audi pads, meaning an Audi problem, and something Audi should cover. 5 years/50k is zero excuse. 9 years/135k on my Avalanche, and they still look great. And that's with off-roading them as well, and various pads during that time (factory, cheap Autozone, and Hawks currently on her). There are none on e-bay right now; haven't checked the Audi forums. E-mail sent.
  22. The smaller of the two Avatar torrents (18.4GB) finally downloaded. Streaming from my PC to my PS3 right now, working perfectly. Quality is good - had this seeder compressed it just a bit less to allow DTS-HD, I wouldn't be downloading the uncompressed 46GB .iso. But so far it looks good and is working perfectly - 3D pretty much like that in the theater. Probably another day and I'll have the original .iso, then I'll burn it to Blu-ray.
  23. $45/each. That's $201.87 after tax/shipping. No way in hell I am paying that - I'd rather buy these for a couple hundred more and sell the factory wheels to make up the difference: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/17-Fits-Audi-A4-RS4-style-rims-A6-A8-hyper-silver-S4-/390275242315?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item5ade37994b
