    Test drove a C55 today

    Test drove a C55 AMG and it was amazing. It was in immaculate condition both inside and out. A ton of power which is a given. MB usually knocked for ride comfort but it was a nice ride. Given, I was only in there for 20mins or so but no complaints on the ride. What's not amazing? The...

    Ordered Popcorn Hour 200

    Anyone else order the new Popcorn Hour 200? Orders started last night but the site was HAMMERED and I couldn't ever add it to my cart. Works fine today though... As a owner of the A110, I can't wait for the 200.

    Anyone up and move to another country not for a career?

    I am looking into moving to Europe for at least a year, hopefully longer. This would not be career based and I am possibly looking at not having a job upon arrival. I've been to Europe before and at first glance, would love to move to Germany. I've got a couple of friends who seem to be...

    Best course of action for my ticket?

    Got a speeding ticket, which is fine. You can't speed and not be surprised when you get a ticket. I was planning on paying and then taking school to get my record clean. I havn't had a ticket for well over 18 months, but when I got my courtesy notice, it said I wasn't eligible for school...

    Anyone familiar with Singapore? What should I do while I am there?

    Im going to Singapore, and have some family staying at the Grand Hyatt. That freaking place is $400+ a night. No way do I want to spend that. I am looking for a place close by that would be MUCH more reasonable for me. TIA

    Whew, just cleared my PMs.

    Just went through my PMs. I had tons dating back to December of 2003. My box was full at 998 and I had been deleting a few here and there all week just to be able to get more in. From 998, I deleted all but 50 which is decent since I have a few fs/ft things going. What's your oldest PM...

    Just go my new home theater up and running. Definitely need some wire management done and while I ran Cat 5 for the Xbox, the Vaio doesn't get a good WiFi signal in this part of the house...so might have to run another Cat 5 cable out to the living room. TV is a Sony KDS50A2020, it's a 50"...

    PSA to those who drive on the freeway

    If there is a sheriff on the freeway, he won't pull you over for speeding unless you're doing a reckless (20+). Therefore, there is no need to go 60-65mph and not pass him, ever. If you like to go 65, great, get the fvck over. Retarded pieces of sh!t, I hate other drivers. Probably...

    I've been bamboozled. Damn you Long John Silver's!

    I went to one of these hybrid KFC/Long John Silver's places. Huge mistake. I ordered from KFC..or at least I thought I was. I get this chicken that looks like fish and tastes like frozen fish sticks. Then instead of biscuits, I get these breaded round things. I have no f'ing clue what the...

    wtf? Volvo...you morons

    Why does Volvo waste their money on ads trying to sell a heartbeat sensor in the new S80? That makes absolutely no sense. No one needs a heartbeat sensor in their car. EDIT: For those of you who havn't seen the commercial yet who think I am putting some sort of "anti-rape" spin :confused...
