    Trance music..

    Above and Beyond do a radio show much like Armin...their TATW (Trance Around the World) sets are massive. If you can, download #301...there's 100 tracks and you can get a good idea for what producers you might like.

    Trance music..

    You are into vocal trance?! crazy! I'm a huge trance fan... Above and Beyond is the best stuff out there. Tiesto is amazing but is getting overhyped and Oakenfold is a has-been. Armin is becoming the new Tiesto and rightfully so...

    Car of the year, MT vs AM

    The only reason Fusion is car of the year is because it was finally a 'domestic' product that could actually compete in its respective market. It wasn't leaps and bounds over the competition, in fact it's actually quite bland; but so is the Camry. The GTI is a great car and I don't mind the...

    Dallas Cowboys Uniforms

    Is that just because they are playing the Giants with similar uniforms or did they change colors this year or something?

    New KIA Cadenza

    Exactly the point I was trying to make. I don't know what the KIA brand did for Hyundai. Accents have been selling well and the Genesis has been getting good reviews and seems to be selling ok. Will be interesting if they introduce a luxury brand and have 3 tiers or if they try to get Hyundai...

    Once more. Lou Dobbs as President.

    Dobbs is great at complaining but I don't think he has what it takes to bring people together to hammer out solutions to the problems. It's almost like it's his opinion or nothing and he's too stubborn to compromise. I was interested to see him marketed as a center/right choice, almost like...

    First Speeding ticket

    $475 is a lot for the one demerit point. Talk to your broker and see what sort of an impact it will have on your insurance rates. You were really lucky to get a reduction. For some reason I don't argue with authority and figure if i am polite and reasonable they will be nice and drop it...but...

    New KIA Cadenza

    Re-badged Genesis... When is Hyundai going to differentiate these two brands. Honda-Acura, Toyota-Lexus, Ford-Lincoln, Chevrolet-Cadillac, Nissan-Infiniti, VW-Audi... ...Kia-Hyundai??? :P

    First Speeding ticket

    Don't just forget about it...I made this mistake early on...I was about 22 at the time as well. Since then I've had a couple more tickets and the points climb fast, especially those 3-4pointers. Your insurance is going to get killed if you get like one more ticket since you are under 25. I...

    A couple of pics some of you might enjoy

    Porsche has tarnished its brand with the entry of Panamera, Cayenne and to some degree the Boxster. Just because you are a car maker doesn't mean you need a vehicle in every segment. Focus on what you are good at and excel at it. I think Porsche may have lost some high end customers with the...

    National Debt exceeds $12,000,000,000,000.00

    I agree, not all debt is bad. Even in our personal lives we know giving money to our deadbeat drunken relatives is not productive (ie.welfare), buying pharmaceutical drugs is not productive (ie. heathcare) but a necessary evil; travel, electronics, cars, boats, etc are all not productive...

    Porsche set to introduce a Veyron-killer in 2010?

    VW owns both Porsche and Bugatti...so I don't really see how it'd be a killer or competition.

    Will the UAW get Ford too?

    The union's only financial incentive is a percentage of labour worked. Therefore it's in their self interest to maximize the number of workers and the wage paid. I wonder if there'd be a way to make the union a very large shareholder of the company, therefore they would need to be focused on...

    Since everyone else is doing it...I might as well post my latest purchase. This is car #2 for me. Sold my 2002 Honda Civic 2dr to my brother and picked up a 2007 Audi A4 Quattro. The 2.0Turbo is good on gas on the highway, yet is peppy and should be decent in the winter with the AWD. The...

    Left Vs. Right - Do We Have Irreconcilable Differences?

    It's not an issue of left vs. right but an issue of everyone looking out for their own self interests. How many public/free services can one get without paying fair market value, how can one avoid paying for services they don't consume. Typically wealthy people don't consume traditional...

    Being financially responsible sucks

    I agree. I've worked my butt off since graduating university...paid off all my debts and saved $50k. I've decided to go out and spend $25k of it on a "new to me" 2006 Audi A4. After thinking about it for some time now, life is too short to hold back on things you will enjoy. Dying a rich...

    Canadian's healthcare system is "imploding"

    Doctors need to live close to the population base; in this case cites where the cost of living is highest. Doctors in my opinion should be paid the most compared to any profession given the huge value of life and liabilities associated with error. $300,000 per year isn't in the top income tax...

    Has the economic downturn made you lose faith in the free market?

    Perhaps I'm all wet here but I'm pretty sure interest rates on mortgages, cars, etc were very low. This is an inventive make leveraged purchases rather than investing in savings. Why save when return in the bank is less than the rate of inflation? The fed lowered rates to the lowest level in...

    Has the economic downturn made you lose faith in the free market?

    They are both the government so one is no better than the other. Under Bush government spending increased enormously and the deficit increased significantly. I don't see Obama changing this trend. Seems like both Republicans and Democrats are advocates of big government.

    Has the economic downturn made you lose faith in the free market?

    The root cause of the economic downturn was literally free money offered through the fed and subsequently leveraged through both investment banking institutions and consumers. Couple that with large increases in government deficit spending and the result was a continued devaluing of the...
