  1. What about the 2015 Moto X? I'd look into that. There really is no comparison between Samsung's TouchWiz and Stock Android. Stock Android is SO much better to use.
  2. I've done it, and thousands do every winter. Maybe then I'll bite. If i haven't blown my car funds on a diesel by then.
  3. I think I'll have to agree with you. I can't believe we live in an age when a Focus costs 40 large.
  4. I'd like a sport touring, any interest in trading for an '06 RS Midnight Warrior?
  5. Ive got a OnePlus One. It runs Cyanogen OS12 (5.0.1), which is 99% stock android. You want to talk battery life? The OPO is where it's at, trumping even the Note phones. I've got a GS4 in my night stand that i havent even turned on in 9 months. From the very first boot up the OPO has been that good. And why lease a phone from T-Mo? Buy a OPO TODAY for $350 and use it for 3-6 months. Turn around and sell it for $300 and buy a OP Two, then sell that in another 3-6 months and get that ZTE. You'll spend less money than using T-Mo's Jump (hint: they're making money off that service) and you can change whenever you want, as often as you want.
  6. I'm with you. Who are the other characters? The trailer does nothing to introduce the movie to me. Is Joker the main baddie, fighting a squad of less bad baddies? Was that Batman riding on the roof of a car? Jesus DC, put together a half way decent trailer. If that movie is longer than 15 seconds, then DC mega fails.
  7. I would buy none of the above. Samsung's TouchWiz ruins Android. Get a phone with pure or close to pure android. It really is SO much better. The upcoming ZTE phone fits that bill, and there's the upcoming OnePlus Two. Is there a Google Play Edition GS6 Active?
  8. Have you ever seen a Frontier that wasn't rusted out?
  9. You've never seen my garage. Edit: definitely don't want a dually.
  10. Diesel engines can do some impressive shit. Torque up, RPMs down. Granted these are both extreme examples, but I see no reason why 28-ish wouldn't be possible on a tuned excursion. That's why I'm even considering Excursions. I could purchase one for cash.
  11. I'm looking to trade in my 335i, and I've never had a truck. So why not? I'm not sure what direction I want to go, or how much exactly I'm willing to spend; it's early in my search. I do know I want a crew cab short bed 4x4. My work commute is over 70 miles a day, so I need to get a few MPGs. Ideally I'd like a 2015 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel, but dropping $40k+ on a truck is out of the question. So far I've looked at a 2014 Silverado LTZ. Nice truck, but stretching it at $34k. The truck reported 25MPG on 270 on my test drive, but I've read they do closer to 20. I also looked at a b̶r̶o̶d̶o̶z̶e̶r̶ 2011 Ram 2500 Laramie LongHorn. I REALLY like it. But again, expensive. $33k and over 150k miles. I'd consider an F-150 EcoBoost, but after my HPFP adventures with my 335i, I'm gun shy about buying another DI TT-V6. I have heard that Brian works magic on them. Jordan has 3 on the lot, but they're pretty base and have 100k+ miles on them. I'm uneasy financing a vehicle with that many miles on it, especially if there are no toys in the cabin. I'd also consider an Excursion with the 6.0, if it's had the head studded and the EGR eliminated. I've seen reports of them cracking 32MPG once modded. And, you know, being a giant bad ass turbo diesel torque machine. So CR, I ask you to chime in with your thoughts. What have you driven? Has it been reliable? I've read about the diesels chewing up front suspension components; overblown? Is the 3.5L EcoBoost reliable? How about the Cummins in that 2011 RAM 2500? And most importantly: CAN I go from a manual transmission turbo charged coupe to a (comparatively) lumbering automatic truck? The noises of a turbo diesel would make me feel better.
  12. And? I DD'ed a '99 and provided my thoughts: Go for it.
  13. I had a 99 Wrangler Sport 5 speed that I DD'ed for ~3 years. The fuel milage out of the 4L inline 6 sucked, but I never had any reliability issues or issues driving it daily, even in traffic. The biggest down BY FAR is the amount of cabin noise you get with the soft top. I loved just dropping it in the summer and cruising tho. Edit: if you're fine with the milage, then I say go for it. Def get an insulated hard top for the winter. There are combo hard tops where the front section easily comes off like a targa top.
  14. 8,605 clicks on the camera. It's in excellent shape, battery still holds a good charge and everything functions as new.
  15. The issue with renting is that I'll be gone for two weeks. That's over $200 to rent MWPE's cheapest wide angle lens, which is half the cost of the Tokina mentioned above.
  16. I've upgraded, and I'm selling my Nikon D60 with the kit 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 VR lens. Comes with battery, neck strap, charger, USB cable, and if I can find it the original box and manual. $200 firm or trade for GoPro, something preferably in the 3+ range.

  18. I appreciate your input. Could you take a look here and suggest a decent wide angel lens? I've always wanted the 35mm 1.8f lens so I could play with focal ranges, but I think that would be a pretty terrible lens for this trip.
  19. Alternative camera? Like a P&S super zoom? I've got a decent P&S Panasonic with I think a 10x zoom and a water proof Olympus. We'll be at Arches, Mesa Verde, Grand Canyon, etc so lots of wide open landscapes. We're day hiking and car camping, so no backpacking. I just spent a boat load on camping and hiking supplies, and as such I'm looking to replace my D60 rather than suppliment it. Bulk is a concern, but so is money. Basically I'm wondering if the D5300 is worth the premium it commands over the D5200. I'd also wager to bet that modern 4/3 cameras are higher quality than my aging D60.
  20. I've got a Nikon D60 and two lenses, the kit 18-55VR and a Sigma 18-200, so I'm not terribly invested. I'm traveling to The Grand Canyon and surrounding areas next month, and I'd like to upgrade. I'm currently contemplating the D5200, D5300 or just switching to a Micro four thirds/mirrorless camera. There will be lots of hiking, so the reduced weight of the D5300 or micro camera are appealing. I can grab a refurb D5200 for $350 while a refurb D5300 will run me $500. I don't know enough about the micros to have shopped around at all yet. The D5300 also adds 1080p60(1080p30 is fine for me) video,a slightly larger screen, and built in GPS(meh) and Wi-Fi (useful) all while being more compact and lighter than the D5200. Thoughts on these cameras? Micro 4/3 recommendations?
  21. Has anyone ever purchased anything from them before? I'm eyeing a new camera body, and they're ~$200 cheaper than everyone else.
