  1. Don't see the reason to have your apps on a separate SSD. I have a 128 that the o/s and all my apps on it (indesign, cs5, illustrator, and ect) and runs with now issue then a second normal hdd that I keep games and content on.

     

    here is a quick build for ya.

    That will put you at $952 plus shipping. since the card reader has 6 usb ports you could get a cheaper motherboard to drop the price a bit. I would add a second drive for storeage.

    Would add $80 to your price. You would still need a O/S, that is a quick build with decent gear. I built it more as a gaming PC but it should tackle any thing you would throw at it image wise. The Video card may be a bit overkill as well.

  2. I think he was thinking a little more long term, who wants to go sometime.

     

    Shawn, let me know when and where and I'll make it if I can!

     

    Went last Sunday... I am sorely out of shape. :fa:

     

    Yeah I am going riding tomorrow will check the comba site to see what conditions are if they are sloppy I will just ride downtown. I am also way outa shape but have been riding with the boys around the neighborhood just to get used to the seat again.

  3. Loved El Hefe and the best hole-in-the-wall bar in Chicago: The Lodge. Right across the street is Five Faces, which has a gyro cheeseburger that - if eaten between 12am and 2am -will pre-treat a hangover like no other. Felt right as rain on Friday morning for my presentation. :lol:

     

    You were at Navy Pier and didn't eat at The Goat?

     

    Love Chicago. If I were to live in a big city its my #1 pick.

  4. same thing happened to me when someone side swiped my Jeep on 270. Cop stated that since we pulled over away from the point of impact he would not ticket either of us I went after them via the woman's insurance and they basically told me to pound dirt ended up going through my insurance and they went after them but due to the vague report filed it as a no fault accident. Best thing you can do is try to file with their insurance if nothing comes of it go through yours get your vehicle fixed and chalk up that people are assholes.
  5. For that money if you are looking for something nicer I would look at a ATS or CTS they can be had for that price Used

     

    If you want new I would take a TDI jetta, TDI sport wagon. over the Dart. Better built and you will make money when you sell it.

  6. Have a 06 Caravan with the 3.3 v6 has a very slit coolant leak. ( less than a gallon over say 6 months). Unable to find the leak. I have replaced the water pump and its dry there same for the metal tube that connects to it. There are no puddles but you can smell the coolant after shutting off the engine. Thought it might be the cap and replaced that but is still smelling and slowing loosing coolant. Any common things to look for. Think it maybe the radiator but I would hate to just throw money at it and that not be it.
  7. No AWD, no 2 door, no care. LOVED the RS due to the turbo awd goodness and two doors, but if it only comes as the 4 door and fwd it will be completely ruined. Wonder how hard it would be to import a RS from Europe over here and if it could be title'd and driven on the street.

     

     

    The RS has never been AWD.
