My TVs double as monitors, so I find this really interesting. You may not notice it while watching a movie, but try reading a console window / web page / document and you'll realize that even HD TVs come up short when they get into 40+ inches. From a gaming perspective as well, most upper end...

Same here. I've had the rift several weeks now, and it is hard to imagine buying an entire system that won't support it. Sony has several, and has expressed interest in making it work, so here's to hoping at least one of them does! Microsoft has been on my "bad" list even before the DRM...

I had a 2006, brand new, for years. Put about 100k miles on it, and the only problem it had was the rear window randomly exploding a bit after I got it. That was fixed under warranty. Best car I've probably ever owned. Towed a 12' enclosed trailer with my karts and racing gear in it, no...

Can confirm, I just received one worded pretty much like this on a motorcycle I'm selling. The first email they sent was asking if it was still for sale, the follow up was that copy and paste job. They stangely never refer to what they are buying directly, always the "item" or "it" which for...

Maybe it is a US thing, but most little sports cars here seem looked down on. Almost always when cars come up in conversation with my non-enthusiast acquaintances it comes down to power, and the little cars don't pack as much. They sound even slower then they are because most don't consider the...

The early Boxter engines died at a horrible rate from IMS failure. The early Caymans died in droves at the track from oil starvation during hard cornering. There have been a decent number of Caymans and 911 that have scored cylinder walls (theorized cooling problem?). Porsche has been of...

It does look more like the Cayman, which I think is a very good thing! One of the big reasons I bought one (Cayman) is that I find it one of the best looking cars south of $100k. Never liked the 911 that much, but this is much better! I prefer a simpler interior too, but from what I...

I had a turbo kit on a '99 Hayabusa (the copper / silver scheme) ten years back. The accelleration it was capable of you'd have to experience to believe, and the speeds I could hit in a short distance were nuts (0 - 150+ in 10 seconds, nearly cracked 200 on the I-90 bridge). The braking...

Atheist with one kid here (wife's from a previous marriage). No plans to have my 'own', but couldn't be happier with our son. I get to have soooo many hobbies under the pretext of "something for us to do together" that I doubt she'd tolerate without him lol :) His interests mirror my own, so...

'08 Porsche Cayman about four times a week, then an '06 STI the other. Trying to keep the miles down on the Porsche as I have a long commute, but like driving it too much :)

Thanks :) It never photographs well, its actually a slightly darker "Hugger Orange", but still kind of bright. I put the front end from a CBR 929 on it for bigger, inverted forks, much beefier springs and more adjustability. It also lowered the front about an inch which quickened up the...

Been through quite a few, but ended up falling for the Honda Superhawk. 1000cc twin, nice low end grunt for the street. It had a few shortcomings that I took care of with upgrades (it's been my vehicle to wrench on). After all the mods I ended up with the perfect bike for me :)

LMAO! I've gotta admit, I was a bit worried for you when you showed up in here as I've seen how ugly it can get, but you've held your own and then some! I tip my hat to you sir :)

Tell me about it! My GF's son was playing with the neighbor kid last week, and they drove up in his 12 volt yellow Corvette, complete with multiple speeds, a working radio, engine sounds, etc. Sweet little ride! He has a little electric Honda motorcycle I bought him for Xmas a year or two...

1.) I'd say about 3000 (we have a few hundred locations nationwide) 2.) IT staff maintains all of them from corporate 3.) 450 or so 4.) Corporate has three floors, then the others are spread out in about 300 locations. 5.) Two network folks, six help desk techs, four application support...

Nope, its the AWD, the crazy short gearing, and to a little extent, the very nice stock rubber they come with. I have an '06, and can say without a doubt it would out run my old NA '92 NSX at any speed I'd try on a public road. If you do want to race one (or an Evo), just wait until they're on...

Like stated before, check the CFM of the tools you want to use. I just picked up a 30 gallon craftsman that'll run 6.0cfm at 90 PSI, max 150 PSI. I'd say its about as low as you want to go if you'll be running air wrenches, ratchets, etc. 220volt units have more power, so build up pressure...

Always like that look since seeing the vintage bikes race down in Portland. Really makes me tempted to pick an MH900e, but I just haven't been riding as much as I used too. Great looking bike:

I'd heard a few times if you couldn't afford 5 - 10 % down you should hold off and keep saving. The problem I saw with that was houses I was looking at were going up about $35k - $40k a year. By the time I'd scraped enough toghether, I wouldn't be able to afford the house :) Plus my rent was...

The KT100 option is great for starters (from my experience so far). They're cheap, low maintenance, simple to operate (focus on driving, not overwhelmed with crazy power / shifting) and forgiving. We keep our clutches set to catch at a very low rpm, so there is about zero wear on them...

Been running about half a year now with my brother. We have a pair of KT100's (one Tony Kart, one Hutless Corsa) and its a BLAST!! Run with video cameras too, so a little on board "Me vs Him" video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tkje5IAefD4 Easily the most fun I've ever had in a...

I had a pair of X1/9s, so I've heard quite a few :) Why do Fiat's have rear window defrosters? To keep your hands warm while you're pushing it. The NHTSA ranked the X1/9 as #1 in head on crash survivability. They found in nearly all the reported frontal accidents that the tow truck had...

Lets here it for MiniMoto! Got one for the girlfriends kid, he LOVES the thing. Put training wheels on it for now, but he's getting the hang of it fairly quickly. When I was a kid, we pedaled our bikes... ;)

These cars pulled me to the "dark side" after owning 4 MR NA cars :redface: As much as I loved the NSX, it was always a little annoying my brothers VR4 or my friends GSX could walk all over me in any aspect of performance for such a small investment compared to mine. If you've never driven a...

Google for "Windows Defender" and give it a run. Its still free I think, and I use it almost daily here at work to get adware of people's machines.
