  1. ff on my home desktop. chrome on my netbook because its lite. IE 9 at work cause we're gay like that.
  2. jealous as F* . dont leave it parked in your driveway ;-) (car lounge theft thread)
  3. I understand all that, but there is something to be said for something you dont have to F with through a pc. If I just want to come home and turn the tv on and watch something I recorded the night before I can do so. It even records some stuff that it think I might like based on my previous recordings. I can watch netflix directly through the main interface also. You can watch amazon on demand or hulu plus through it also. If I wanted to do a HT pc then Im sure going that route would work fine. Having the scheduler is something I dont think you can get with a tuner card. For everything I do download though, I stream through my xbox or ps3 with tversity, and through the WD live in the bedroom. This setup offers the simplicity I like for regular viewing along with being able to do the more complex file types .MKV etc when needed.
  4. I have a OTA tivo only DVR. Its a fantastic HD DVR for 4 channels :-) You can own it for ~$85 on amazon. Then I pay $8 or $10/month for the subscription service. Well worth it for me to be able to record the regular broadcast shows. I have netflix but rarely use it. I had hulu but the selection was garbage for streaming content on my tivo box or wd live The majority of the shows I watch I get through uploads to rapidshare. Assuming rapidshare stays alive its a fairly easy way to get whatever you want just takes some searching through different sites to find the dl link.
  5. I would look at the APR RSC exhaust. I have their catback on my GTI, (yes I know completely different platforms) but it seems to be the least restrictive exhaust with the best tone on many platforms. Mine is fairly loud WOT but with absolutely no drone on the freeway and I dont run a cat (full 3"). The quality is better than anything else Ive seen (miltek, magnaflow, etc) The think their mufflers were designed by corsa irrc.
  6. I remember this from c&c. love the color. glws.
  7. haha.. yeah pretty close to a miata. yeah its not perfect but will make someone a very nice little roadster. If I was into these type of cars I would definitely keep it.
  8. I bought the gf a 10" Acer iconia tablet for Xmas. $269 refurb from bb. Runs on android 2.3. She loves it. Doesn't even use her laptop anymore. The only downside is the screen is slightly washed out when watching movies. Nice device.
  9. The best imo is Jason @DentWorks......but he only does work through a dealer network (body shops, dealers, etc)
  10. I definitely wouldn't recommend Inwalls with the budget you have. I would agree with the others, buy quality pieces here and there. You will be much happier in the end.
  11. Ive got 3 maybe 4 guys signing up here pretty soon including myself. Looking forward to getting back out there this year.
  12. I thought there was a good amount of hot girls there. More than I expected. Good times regardless.
  13. I think the deals over but a few weeks ago game stop had a deal where you trade a "working" Xbox in on a new 250gb xbox, you got $100 in trade plus $75 gift card. I got an old one wrong just long enough to trade it in. Great deal IMO.
  14. Ive never seen it there. Ive never seen it anywhere for that matter. Ive had a good amount of beer available in this area and have still only have a handful of those beers that I can remember. All are excellent though. Avery The Maharaja Bell's Two-Hearted Ale Great Lakes Dortmunder Gold North Coast Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout Stone Sublimely Self-Righteous Three Floyds Dark Lord Russian Imperial Stout Its hard to get a grasp on how many different beers there are out there. Its ridiculous to try something new almost everytime you go somewhere, only to realize there are still a thousands youll never see let alone drink.
  15. I thought they did away with the autozone thing and did everything in house? The morse rd store used to buy a bunch of oem bimmer parts from us when they had a dedicated zone guy working there. As far as I know they've quit doing that and they dont buy shit from us anymore. Just bring their junk into our service dept once they realize they dont have anyone qualified to work on bmw's. regardless its nice they have a warranty but Id be a little skiddish to know some $10/hr kid is trying to fix my car which he has no experience on.
  16. If anybodies looking for escort stuff, I carry their full line up and can offer CR discounts.
  17. Obviously every ones situation varies but I keep comprehensive on my 18 year old beater. It added $10/month but its well worth it. Has a $0 deductible for any glass/weather/animal related incidents. Alot of people dont even consider this when dropping full coverage.
  18. truth. not sure why I drive one. I nevarrrr fit in at a meet. guess ive always been the ugly duckling.
  19. Heard the story on the radio this morning and thought the same thing. Youd have to imagine your insurance policy would be dependent on you either paying the fee or not paying the fee.
  20. yeah I read c&d's review today. They didn't care much for it. I didn't realize it got dumbed down from the GTI. fwiw I think APR said they are working on a fix for the ESP issue. Why would vw do that? stupid.
  21. I like it. And I had a platinum gray 04 GLI. Im sure this MKVI is better in every way, except for some peoples styling taste. Im thinking this car with APR 3+ would suprise...about everyone. (425whp on pump gas) Even with just a flash would make this a more than capable/fun inexpensive sedan.
