<--can't find a diesel Toureg to drive to compare with the C. Turbo

that B on B in chicago still out there?

I am not in Chicago right now. Not sure, I need to sell my truck before doing anything but I'd like to narrow this shit down.

[///M5 2,833]

computer < lots of cash

how much would you get for it?

That is the best question in deciding what to do. Spot on.

[///M5 2,833]

Then its easy. You just have to weigh that if you had X dollars in your pocket would you spend it on that computer. My guess is you'll take the cash unless there is no real good market for it.

[///M5 2,833]

but I want something smaller.

2) I don't fit, not even close to being comfortable

3) My whole reason in selling my truck is to not have a truck

4) Japanese cars can suck my left nut

5) Can the interior be any shittier?

6) Ugly on the outside as well

7) No need for offroad

8) Can't tow shit and my 21' Ranger wouldn't like me if I couldn't use it, nor my snowmobiles

9) No car seat spot for junior -- no way no how, you should see what it looks like when I sit in one of those

10) I am not 22 anymore so I really don't understand that truck at all

11) Did I mention it is boring?

[///M5 2,833]

Crap, I left out the important items

Uber slow & drives like shit.

[///M5 2,833]

Not an attack on you or your ideas, just won't even come close to working for me.

[///M5 2,833]

This has to replace both my truck and my car, not an easy task.

[///M5 2,833]

Actually easy on the truck. Yet proved again why I really, really wish I would have stuck with my mantra of never owning another GM car. They keep tempting me though with almosts. Fuckers.

In that case the Cayenne or the Touareg are pretty much your only options

The response I expected, I read almost all of the postings in the hop, so I know how you feel about little Japenese cars. Ment to be funny.

[nem 2,019]

Little truck top

[Penguin4x4 1,761]

I'm liking the new midsize Tacomas and Frontiers though; half ton truck payload and towing capacity in a small, easy to park body.

[Aaron Clinton 2,372]

badddaassss PC

it would be pretty sick to win this SOB!

Would love to have that for SETI.

too bad for you, I JUST WON IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOW!!!

[Penguin4x4 1,761]

and by half ton capacity I mean 1,000+ pound payload capacity 5,000+ pound towing capacity, which is what most half ton pickups that I grew up with were able to do

nowadays half ton pickups have 1,500 to 1 ton payload capacities and tow capacities upwards of 5 tons, which begs the question: aren't those 3/4 and 1 ton pickups?

[Aaron Clinton 2,372]

fuck!

54 lbs of computer is a fuck ton of computer. Aaron is gonna make you join his seti group now.

=)

But man, the unused cycles on that thing could really get a ton of work done on some of these science projects.

[Penguin4x4 1,761]

yes I am being a smart ass

[Godsmack 361]

110% fuckin fed up with the /micheal jackson bullshit.

Dude died. I feel for his family. Glad the kids can now rest

GET THE FUCK OVER IT. NO MOVIE, NO VIDEO TOUR, NO MICHEAL JACKSON SNEAKERS. LET IT REST.

Side joke.

I head about the kid in the balloon today and first thought was "Did micheal jackson order take out?"

J

[Aaron Clinton 2,372]

His family is trying to milk him for all his worth.

Easy to park? I didn't realize you were a woman.

5000lb with that little thing? lol

I towed a 1500lb trailer with one and it was super anemic.

If it was me I would sell it instantly, it'll only fall in value. If you rock out on 360 most of the time, you are not going to switch to PC just because you have a new one.

i was planning to get into more pc gaming this winter, the idea was to build a very budget pc as my parents gift to me (they give me credit card w/ a spending limit and i do the shopping )

[lithium 358]

computer < lots of cash

how much would you get for it?

parts alone cost toms hardware $2500, im not sure if i would sell it in one piece or part it out because im not sure if it will be delivered to me reassembled.

but im trying to justify keeping it.. here are my thoughts.

lets say i build a budget pc for about 600 this winter like i planed to do, then throughout my next 2 years of college i do some modest upgrading, maybe new cpu and graphics so lets say another 400 bucks by the time im out of school. Following college i decided i want to do a new build with new hardware, assuming there will be new chips out. now lets also assume that this new computer will cost about 1200 bucks and be about the same performance as the computer i won, this would mean that i gain nothing buy selling my current computer if i will just be rebuilding it in 3-4 years.

now in the advent of an emergency i would no doubt sell it off.

and as far as money goes i really dont give a shit about it... i dont have alot, im not rich, i just dont worry about it... if i have a bill to pay ill put more hours in at work and get the cash. (im sure ill grow out of this attitude by the time i get out of college... and have to be a grown up )
