Do you know if that was the G1X or the G16?

the most recent g is miles behind my old 450d with th 18-270 on itI remember you mentioning that the new G was impressive.

I have a Nikon s9400. Great compact P&S, deals with low light and motion blur pretty well, SD card, rechargeable, long battery life. I bought it specifically for pics in museums where you are not allowed to use flash; particularly The Vatican. I got gorgeous shots of the Sistine Chapel while hiding it from the guards in the room. It does very well for everything from macro to wide angle landscape shots. Aside from the proprietary charging/usb cable I have no complaints Super helpful! Thanks!

Maybe the Canon Gxxx will be better though. It's a little bigger. The Sony looks so small it would be hard to hold.

If he wants small, the Sony RX1xx fits the bill I think...... I haven't played with one though.

Ok, so my buddy is going to Italy for his wedding. He wants a camera, but a DSLR is definitely not him. He is also planning on buying a separate video camera. It's silly IMHO, but he will never deal with lenses. What would you guys recommend off the cuff for P&S and why? I'm researching for him and wondered if you guys had any initial comments.

The local guy I used went out of business. Brooks quality is meh, Hubert is a joke. Need to find someone that hires out, but to like Canada. Material is the critical factor in a shirt. Custom made in town you should get 6 for $700....in Singapore that would be 15-16 shirts.Meh quality is still better than off the rack for me. But thanks for the heads up. I have called just about every tailor and only 2 make them outside of Jersey, as in locally, and that's Johns tailors in Roseville and Heimes, and both normally send their made to measure jobs to Jersey, butoccasionally do some locally.

How did you know?

Cook up some schnitzel and just give in..... Only a matter of time.

I am really glad I went to their store. I have tried them before and no one told me they come in such wide fits and so many styles. Now I just need to find a shirt/suit guy and I am set. Went to the new Hubert White store, cool shop, but I might just try brooks brothers. The price there is pretty good. Or try the really little local tailor. Maybe buy shirts from both and then whoever wins gets my business. Every Fucking shirt is made in new jersey anyway if it's made in the US. Or it costs $500

Ok, so I have been having a little issue with my Allan Edmonds. They made a noise like air rushing through the shoe. It turns out my arch has fallen. Not suprising considering all the weight I have gained. They looked at how the shoe was breaking in and found an answer. Then they gave me free orthodics it help with the the problem, then hooked me up with a pair that were on sale randomly a month ago for the sale price. If these shoes last close to as long as my other shoes I will be sold on them for life. Free shipping to my house, free orthodics, discounts off my shoes. I'm happy.

Stuttgart is calling......

As for Sean's specific costs of repairs, well a (insert German car company name here) dealer and a Chevy dealer charge about the same for labor locally. Not enough an hour to make a difference at least and I know for a fact the American wrenchmen work slower as their customers have more forgiving ideas about their cars being worked on. Parts are obviously extremely different, and if at an independent shop it would be different, but "warranty work" I'm suprised it was only $5k for the several tines Sean took it in. My cavalier stearing issue was ~$1200 paid for by Chevy and the wife's cobalt that had a similar problem was more. Some bearing issue too. Warranty and/or recall on both and her fix was billed to the tune of $1700 or so.

My guess was the Silverado needed suspension work or other rotating/moving parts. Late model Chevy trucks all seem to have problems in MN. I have said this for years, the south never seams to have problems with the bowtie, but I hear them talk trash about Ford's vs here in colder conditions, every one I know but die hard Ford haters all have problems with Chevy. Maybe it's the cold, or the chemicals on the road that Ford accidentally uses a better plastic for their boots etc... I don't know. My family in hot climates all like Chevy truck platforms just fine, everyone up here finds them problematic. Ford's hate heat and humidity and Chevy can't handle the cold is what I am going with. Only applies to late model though.... Any old truck has had so much shit done to it it doesn't matter what the problems are as it's just as likely the guy who fixed it fucked it up. I have found so few mechanics as good as you Seth. Thankfully I get 90% of my work done for extremely cheep.

I'll get the hookers ready...

There are a ton if you don't add the word reasonably priced. Ok, the manual portion is a stretch but really once you break into the serious performance realm the new 8spd auto's work out better anyway.Certified AMG worked out for me...but doing that to a newer one is ultra cost prohibitive making me way the gamble of non-warrantied which is making me run away. Agreed, but I still prefer to row the gears myself. I think I have come to realize, I prefer a more moderately priced car that I can tinker on and work it to my liking that will have less insurance costs and less repair costs. Chilli pepper GTS. That was FUN to drive. Maybe that is what I need.

Are you also going to watch Spacenado, Stonenado, and Icenado to go with it? Nope. Slothcano

I want passion, prestige, performance, for under $30 with some semblance of reliability or at least not liable to cost me a life savings. Looks to be near impossible

I can't say I know much about the 7 series.

The previous body style S class was rated one of the best cars several times over. All will be expensive to fix, but not as absurdly as I thought originally. If you got an BMW with the letter M before a number or a Benz with the letters AMG on it, expect to pay until your nose bleeds. Again however, not as expensive as I originally thought.

I'm watching Sharknado.

LoL

Sean, have you been drinking?

Did heads on a 2009 boxer last week. We are still seeing the problems through 2010 MY... any newer will be warranty, so I cannot comment on the last few MY vehicles. Is it a design flaw that means you will just have to keep replacing them over and over? Can you fix it with aftermarket so it isn't a problem.

Fun like mopeds and fat chicks.
