Interesting. Paris is absolutely my favorite city in the world. So much to see and do and EATI may feel different after going there. I just figured I wouldn't like all the American hating frenchies.Freedom fries god Damnit!Surprisingly I felt more of that in Italy than France. I also enjoyed my time in France more than Italy which I wasn't expecting.

Haha fun idea man.

It's a $15 voltage meter from a reputable member, not a new car. I don't mean to be rude but I'm sure it is legit.

For the 12? If so I believe Quentin told me 1.5 @ 32 or 34 depending on what kind of response you are looking for.

Not the first time I've heard that, sorry man.

Two 12's or one 15 on that power can get LOUD if done right. Do the seats in your caddy fold down?

Audi just screams issues to me, idk if that is accurate or not but I just remember hearing a lot of bad things. They sure are pretty though, so if anyone can thumbs up or down for them that would be great.Not an issue. The only issue is the performance aspect. The S6 is far more sexy, but far more priceyI've been searching since I read your post and I'm liking the A6, and the A4 might even be suitable but I'm not sure if it's big enough. The RS5 is super sexy too but not in the same "class".

Goals, space available, and do you have the electrical to back that amp at 1 ohm?

No need for AMG or M for her.

She really wants a used LOW millage (~20,000 or less) BMW or Mercedes but I have little to no knowledge about them or possible reliability issues but I do know that they are more expensive to work on. I get the dyke comment about the Subaru but I really do like the look of the newer legacy. Any E or S class years/engines to avoid? Same question about a 5 or 7 series? Also I was considering looking at an V6 Altima, Maxima, or G for myself...should I think twice? Any feedback is appreciated!

Any input on the Subaru Legacy 3.6r? It seems like a nice car and it would be ~35k loaded brand new. The interior isn't great but also not awful.

Yeah the straight shooters seem to get it.

They have it out for me too...whatever though lol

Not a fan of anything Nissan anymore. Transmission problems out the ass and considerable drivability issues. While the typical auto trannys are not completely terrible, they are bad enough. Be sure the vehicle you look at does not wear the CVT tranny... Nissan CVTs are total shit. The 3.7 is a fucking solid engine, however.You drive me nuts!:-) What cars are reliable and fun? Or is that just diametrically opposed in your opinion? I don't know anyone with as much mechanic history who has as diverse of a range of cars as you. Honestly, performance and reliability generally do not go hand in hand. I have had my fun, and now the things that matter to me are dependability and comfort. I work 12 hours a day 5 days a week on cars if I don't have any side work, I don't want to spend my time repairing my own, and I do not like to spend money on repairs. I tend to base my evaluations on my personal wants and needs, which I think translates into most people's feelings about cars... I don't want my vehicle broken down and costing me a lot of money to repair.My current shop boasts proficiency in hybrid/total electric, Jeep, Euro (specializing in BMW and VAG), and Asian (with a focus on Nissan). But we do work on all makes and models. The owner focuses his advertising on owners of said vehicle types as well as a specific income level, sending out roughly 10,000 fliers a month. He is expanding the marketing to include domestics since I am here now. He employs a company called Cucui (I am certain I am spelling it wrong, it is pronounce Coo-Coo-Ee) to perform market research. It has definitely expanded my hands on of modern vehicles. I have been deeply submerged in the domestic market for a long time now and until early this year I have not had my hands on many Euros since I left SoCal in '99 Not a fan of anything Nissan anymore. Transmission problems out the ass and considerable drivability issues. While the typical auto trannys are not completely terrible, they are bad enough. Be sure the vehicle you look at does not wear the CVT tranny... Nissan CVTs are total shit. The 3.7 is a fucking solid engine, however. Halfway there. Probably not buying the 3.5 version as boost will get it beyond the 5.0 but with the loss of towing rating I can't have. Definitely no CVT that has 7 speeds that i know of.The 3.5 and 3.7 are the same essential engine They are a variant of the 3L Nissan. In all honestly they are one of the best gasoline platforms on the market over the last 20 years, only bested by the Buick 3.8 platform. I am referring only to the engine durability, and longevity without failures, not external issues. They were plagued by injector problems for many years (in the 80s and early 90s the problems were so bad they caught fire), and that is still a reality... not the fires, but their injectors are shit. Their coils are really bizarre, as when one fails you must replace them all. If you don't, it will likely set misfire codes on other cylinders even though no miss is evident. I hate doing water pumps, as they are driven by the timing chain... a design I struggle to find any real benefit from.Based on the vq30de that is in my i30? I am going to be shopping for two cars in the near future. One is going to be ~$13-15k for myself, and the other one my Mother has asked me to research in the $30-45k range. I have been very happy with my Infiniti and I know that the engine and tranny are well built, but have heard a lot of bad things about the newer nissans. What are some reliable used (Moms could be new.) low millage cars in those ranges? Both would be medium to large sedans with a v6 or a turbo 4. Just looking for something with some get up and go that will still be reasonable with gas. I know that it's a broad question but anything to avoid or consider? Both will likely be driven for a good amount of time, and would be expected to be reliable for 100k+.

I guess I'm late but skar is gone?

Happy Birthday!

There has been a lot of spam today.

please do yourself a favor and try these http://www.halocigs.com/turkish-tobacco-cartomizers.html this brand is great when it comes to flavor and natural feel. The Blu cigs taste like your smoking meth.Imo the ego twists are the best for customizing taste strength and temp. Agreed, my 1.8 ohm atomizer and ~4 volts depending on the flavor/mood is always perfect.

Nice

Hopefully they don't find any issues with the ingredients, either way this is weening me out of the habit I think.

I would not go with the Blu/etc but they just suck in general. I use a http://www.joyetech.com/product/details.php?gno=128 and I absolutely love it, you can change out the tanks, custom mods, different Juices, etc. The one i uses allows you to adjust the voltage etc and usually the vapor isnt as hot, unless you like to vape high nicotine content stuff. Plus there are a million flavors from normal tobacco, menthol, and crazy stuff like cappuccino, banana, mango, etc. also there are different strengths of juices, Generally 6mg is considered low, 11mg, medium; 18mg, high; and 24mg, very high. If you don't want to go with the big Joyetech ones the Ego Twists are excellent and allow you to do alot of the same stuff you can do with a bigger vape http://ejuicemonkeys.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=28&products_id=581 I tried the "cigarette" looking ones at first too Seth and hated them because they bothered my throat and continued to smoke cigarettes. Then I bought a joyetech similar to the one that Julian posted WITHOUT the adjustable voltage and continued to smoke cigarettes. 10 days ago I said I'll give it one more shot and bought an "ego c twist" with adjustable voltage and haven't touched a cigarette since then even while drinking which is my hardest time with quitting, and usually when I buy a pack and start smoking again. The battery lasts me ~36 hours, and I have a Kangertech tank that lasts a few days without needing to be refilled. The whole setup cost about $80 but after some calculations it should save me at least $90 a month. I don't think I'll buy another pack of cigarettes again. It depends on the juice you get and the strength, I typically vape 15% which is great for me. But the stronger you get the more it burns your throat 15% is a great middle but if you were a heavy smoker 20-24% is where youd need to be to get the same nicotine buzz. I have a King tank, single coil rebuild-able, I love it. The funny thing is that I have realized that I don't have any real nicotine addiction or need, I vape 0mg now and I am fine. The nicotine level does not affect the throat feel or taste, the pg/vg ratio is what affects the throat feel and taste.

I had a "smoke tip" and hated it.
