    **Update** Acura called and said they narrowed it down to fuel injectors and that estimated cost of replacing is $1200. They're clogged or dirty or something and my warranty wont cover that because they say it's a maintenance issue. Do the above suggestions still apply (fuel cleaners and...

    YACT: For Mom: RX330 or MDX

    Both cars come out to about 40k bluebook value after similar options (navigation, premium packages). Being Christmas season, I figure the price will drop even more. If it were up to me I would get the MDX, but that's because it's bigger and seems to be more masculine than the Lexus. I'm mostly...

    I'm having extreme slowdowns on my computer lately ever since my hard drive and dvd burner ended up on the same ribbon cable.

    YACT: Digital Camera for sister. Price limit: 350

    I've seen a lot of people suggesting the SD line. The SD400 can be had for $335 shipped (pricegrabber). I noticed there was a small Sony Cybershot DSC-P200 for $338 shipped. Basically what's the best bang for the buck under $350, with size (smaller the better) being important?
