    Any opinions on what the best laptop is? I played with a macbook pro today and was pretty impressed (still not impressed with the price tag) Of course people play plenty for mac pro but never for top end windows PC (a reason why I think windows gets a bad rap) so I have no top end PC to play with

    However... I did get my brakes tightened up on the bike and they are perfect now. And I replaced the tube

    So something let go in the Saturn shifting linkage. Its now stuck in reverse. It freely moves from R to 5 but its not shifting. I will not move in towards the other gears.... Now I get to ride my bike all week Got the tires aired up. When I came back home one had popped.... Yay!

    Thanks for the link. Can I order them from that site? yes I am heading to google as we speak. I have no idea. A old friend of mine imports them. I went to check up his shop and he had quite a few sets at hand. Not to mention lots and lots of 12's, 15's and 18's from Faital. I found them for 30 a pop at usspeaker.com http://www.usspeaker...pro-3fe20-1.htm Sweet price. Honestly, if they are like the FF85k's in sound AND 3dB more efficient I'm upgrading my midbass... Damn I like those. Stop giving me Ideas!?!? I have a pair of 6.5" TangBand Subs. I could use these 2 together for a little 4-wheeler setup

    From what I've found, a modern dino oil blended with as little as 5% synthetic can behave nearly identical to a full synthetic because of the advances.

    Oil change every 3k and new filter every time. HUGE waste of money unless you basically run the thing to the max ALL the time or you drive it in MANY 2-3 mile trips constantly in ice cold weather.

    Truck is already tuned. AND... Theoretically my regular maintenance expenses are the same because I'm only driving one or the other. (e.g. put 5k on truck and 10k on car, or 15k on truck) the same could be said for repairs but I know thats not true.

    I can't throw away 36 em pee jeez You drive enough where paying for double insurance, double repairs and maintenance, and double depreciation is cheaper than just driving the truck? Hmm I'll have to look into it. I don't pay for insurance, but I know my parents put me as the primary driver of the Saturn with only liability so it helps instead of me being on the full coverage truck. A lot of my repairs are dirt cheap because of the free labor and sometimes cheap parts from the auto parts store So far I have replaced the clutch and recharged the AC. As far as depreciation, I only payed $1200 for the car with 70K 3 years ago. I conservatively average 2x the gas mileage (I get 2.9 times the gas mileage driving my truck 70-80 on the highway compared to driving my car 65) and with my truck I think I average around $450 a month. So its an easy $225 savings a month (up to $2700 a year) Start factoring it in for road trips and you're saving about $50 in fuel a trip

    I hate reading posts by Don because all I do is feel sick with how much time/money I completely wasted deadening my truck. Makes me want to do a new project just to redeem myself. *Looks at Saturn*

    would I be downgrading?

    X2 and, what do you not like about it that makes you want to change. My first preference would be the one I can have the optimal box for. If your Q isn't already in one then I would suggest getting it there first.
