I thought Verizon was CDMA? They are but they also offer phones that do both GSM and CDMA for international usage Ohhh, didn't realize that.

Although one of my friends that I shoot pistol with just picked up a Kimber Team Match II so one of these days I need to go play with that. I'm sure that will change my mind about Kimber, should help that it is one of there top pistols.

The same person who screwed Kimber up is currently running SIG into the ground.

I don't think I would buy a Kimber, never shot one but haven't heard very many good things about the newer ones. Building a cheap 1911 from what I understand is almost impossible to do. Quality, Cheap, and 1911 are rather hard to find unless you fall upon a hell of a deal.

I thought Verizon was CDMA?

This is very true, lOOk at the first Cadillac FWD Eldorado's made back in the late 70's or the Toranado.LOL. I think the debate started over which was better in the snow??? Each car has it's application in the real world though, I think we have also debated??? Cord actually had a FWD vehicle in the 20s. Imagine a cast-iron inline 8 driving the front wheels. Just a little nose-heavy. It was probably proportioned the same as my Cadillac... Just tack on 3,000lb on the total weight.

Huh? That is an E46, if you look hard you can find one for $10k. $15k would buy you a very nice one. Amusing, FWD is a No-Go for me or my wife. No way, no how. I don't need understeer in the snow. I'll take a well balanced RWD ANY day of the week in inclement weather. Guess I need to look at the badge better. I will take the getting pulled felling anyday over the getting pushed. I own 3 4wd's and still drive my Honda all winter except for the very worst days. I like how I can over/understeer with the throttle and really turn with the e-brake. Huh? Why would you EVER want to understeer. The e-brake will work in any drive format. In a RWD you can turn with the throttle, with front you CANNOT. I will take the weight over the drive tires anyday. A fwd turns harder when the steering tires are also pulling, NOT just getting pushed where the weight of the vehicle is getting pushed. I have never been to MN but I can only imagine it must be pretty flat, because You won't get very far with RWD only here.(the ditch) Hmm, you really need to open your mind. By FAR the best winter car I have ever driven (outside of snow clearance) was a naturally aspirated Porsche 944. Perfect 25% weight in each corner with a nominal driver. That is ALWAYS the best way to have traction. Putting the weight over the fronts does not help you turn, nor does it help you stop, it also makes it easier to spin. The ONLY advantage of FWD is the same advantage that 4WD has that puts everyone in the ditch. From a dead stop perhaps you can accelerate faster. To me turning and stopping are MUCH more important in inclement weather. MN is flat, but not all of MN and RWD doesn't get you in the ditch not knowing how to drive does. Going off the road accelerating is pure operator error, going off because you can't stop or turn isn't. There is no way you can argue that FWD is better for either of those. Little history piece for you as well. FWD exists as it is cheaper to manufacture and for an average person they don't notice the difference. So some manufacturers choose to save money and compromise on all areas of performance. Others choose to do the opposite and refuse to cut that big ass corner. You probably drive all automatics too, but that doesn't make them better. I use the gears to slow down on ice and snow, NOT the brake's. A RWD car's ass will slide side ways a soon as the you start up a hill, a FWD will go where the tire's are pulling it. As an example Sean, When I am stuck on a snowmoble, I can have a single person pull a front ski to get me moving and or it would take several people pushing from behind. Simple Physics is the reason for FWD not cost. A FWD or AWD car will handle and corner better than a RWD anyday. Believe me brother I am the FARTHEST from close minded person you will ever meet, But I do like a good debate. A FWD corners better? I'm not believing this... Yeah and you probably think your Caddy is RWD too.LOL Yea... like totally my caddy is RWD and teh greatest thing ever!

You have a hell of a driveway. I would hate that thing in winter.

I'll take a RWD any day over a FWD, no matter what the condition.

Anything in particular you have your eye on as a replacement?

I hate FWD. One of the big reasons I don't think I'll get another Cadillac after my current one dies.

Yoplait yogurt is turning into my new form of crack...

I looked at over 300 houses before buying mine. Took a few years... Why does that not surprise me... I'm trying to find a rental for August lease, and what I want is damn near impossible in this town it seems like.

I hate trying to find a place to live.

What town?

Ewwww I'll always be a Craftsman guy, I have a toolbox FULL of Craftsman tools. I just needed some calipers from Harbor Freight, Sears doesn't carry any good set. Craftsman isn't bad, but I'd much rather have Snap-On, Matco, Wright, Wera, Wiha, etc

Ewwww I'll always be a Craftsman guy, I have a toolbox FULL of Craftsman tools. I just needed some calipers from Harbor Freight, Sears doesn't carry any good set. 30 years ago Craftsman was good. Sears put them out of business took them over and ruined them. Don't get me wrong, I still buy them as the warranty is worthwhile considering it then becomes a lifelong tool even if it wasn't via its build quality. I love all hand tools with lifetime warranties; MAC, Matco, Crafstman, Cornwell, Kobalt, its all good power tools are a different matter air tools I don't know a damn thing about (anyone know good air tool brands?) Chicago Pneumatic.

FTL.

He is the Don of the MN Mafia.

Ewwww

I would save money and just get a real circ saw and a real blade. Even with a table saw, you need one of those. A circ saw, freud blade, and a set of guides for it and you'll be good to go.

I don't lie and I don't exaggerate on the 'positive' side. No joke. This thing is pretty much the most badass piece of electronics I own and the controller functions very well and is intuitive in its layout. Just put the software on my roommates computer so there are now multiple machines linked to it. The RF remote is nice so that you don't even have to be in the same room to control it. They made what would be the best music controller for a party ever. Don't have to have your computer out, screw with cd's, big remote, etc.

Its official. A squeezebox is awesome.

Bah, taxes. I'm going to have to pay this year. I despise that self employment tax.
