    Buying a car?

    Yeah I agree, if it's nearly the same price of the Golf R yet not equal in features or performance, then why bother? The turbo beetle starts at around 28k on their website. Maybe this one will come in at 30k? which puts it a few grand cheaper than a Golf R. Will have to see once it's officially...

    Buying a car?

    So this is supposedly actually happening, Beetle R. The rumors about it I'm reading make no mention of awd and the engine might be 20 hp shy of the Golf R, kind of disappointing. I've always been a fan of the newer beetles, was even considering a 2013 and am excited about a 'performance'...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I just started playing again after buying MoP then not playing for months. Everyone I played with has retired. I picked a high pop server and started a fresh character. Left all my old characters and gold behind. Just trying to recapture the magic a bit I guess. I have 4 gold hehe. It's been fun...

    I had a nice eyefinity setup with 3 27 inch samsung monitors. I'm back to just a single 40 inch hdtv as monitor. I've mulled over the idea of setting it back up, but it's a lot more unwieldy in practice than idea. It was great for a few games no doubt. Skyrim looked fantastic. But it requires...

    We're in our late 30's and still live like grad students in a dumpy rental, and we're fucking sick of it. We were waiting on her tenure, which she finally got last year. Now that that is out of the way we are looking to buy, and getting impatient lol. That was pretty much the deciding factor for...

    That was a drunk post, and I grew up in Kenner! I'm technically a kennabrah, but no greasy stache, criminal record or 80s 5.0 mustang. You're doing it right, as long as you're enjoying the quarter and eating the food regularlyI've seriously met people from Kenner and the westbank that wouldn't...

    Computer Chairs

    After years of bad office depot chairs and some excruciating back pain, I splurged and got an ergonomic chair from these guys -http://www.neutralposture.com/ I believe it's the 6000 series. Added some stuff, like padded armrests and a headrest. They are totally customizable, and unfortunately...

    Me too, kind of a round-out-my-collection sale, but I got some good prices. A few of these I played on xbox but wanted a pc version (ME1 and ME2). Dark Souls and ME3 were the only real must-haves, the rest just got so low pricewise I snatched them up. Batman Arkham City GOTY: $5 Batman...

    Cathan isn't from New Orleans, he's some hick transplant from NC bandwagoning the Saints. If you live 10 minutes from New Orleans and never go there, you're doing it wrong. Westbank or Kenner? Has to be westbank. I worked over there and met people that never crossed the bridge in their lives. 10...

    Speaking of bmws, I like the new X1. More like a high-riding rwd/awd hatch than a compact suv.

    Buying a car?

    The more I read about those new accords the more I like. The 4 door sport with the base engine and manual transmission does 0-60 in 6.6 seconds and gets close to breaking into 14 second quarter mile territory. Well done Honda. This thread made me aware of the small overlap test as well and...

    Probably less heat than standard 1.5v ram, since this is a 30 nm fabrication, more efficient and cooler. Also probably cooler because it doesn't have heat spreaders. I'm not convinced most of the spreaders these companies use do anything at all for thermals and are mostly to make it look pretty...

    The fact that that samsung ram is low voltage is why it is badass. Throw those stated timings out, they are meaningless. I'm using that exact ram after about 2 minutes of tweaking values at 1.5v, 1866mhz, cas 9, 1t command rate without a hitch. It's good stuff.

Not sure how much the bst and dru are going to play, but going to give it a go anyway. Bst and dru are on free accounts, which are strangely...

    He doesn't, but I do. This pic sums up Ditka's tenure with the Saints. This was after a hail mary by Tim Couch which was tipped by a Saint defender into the hands of a Browns receiver, giving the 0-8 new Cleveland Browns their first ever victory. Dark times indeed.

    Trollicious! Lemme axe you a question (or anyone else with insight) since you work at dealerships. We are limping along with two old cars that we will finally be replacing within the next year. We are considering just dropping one huge financial nuke on ourselves and buying two new cars at...

    Here's another tale of love she just relayed to me. 1. Sweet girl from the Phillipines she meets at u of chicago. 2. Falls in love with good catholic boy. 3. "We can't use contraception." 4. "OK." 5. "I'm pregnant." 6. "You can't get an abortion." 7. "I'm dumping you GTFO." 8. Profit?

    Abortion

    I'd argue that people fighting to ban abortion are the ones with unequal opinions about women, even if they mean well. That example about the pig farmer isn't hyperbole. When you come from as backwards a place as Appalachia, that's exactly what happens. Her childhood friend was more gifted...

    If men could get pregnant, abortion would be the 1st commandment, sent down by the Lord himself, complete with an entire book of the bible dedicated to instruction on how to do it.

    This is a great point and relates to cigarettes, or other addictions. You're going to feel bad temporarily, sack up and deal with it. Sure I felt bad for a couple of weeks when I quit smoking, but I knew it was going to happen and just let it happen. Felt like I had a mild illness for a few...
