    Magellan RoadMate 700 GPS System - $749.94 Shipped

    Part of the reason for the "sale" is the new 760 version is out and they possibly need to dump the 700's. Go here for a comparison between the 700 and the new 760. http://www.autonav2000.com/Compare/RoadMate760-700-300-compare.htm I have the TomTom Go (along with other nav systems) and...

    0% APR on All Hondas

    So true but isn't it fun? While we are spiraling WAY off topic. For those of you who want to factor in the potential cost increases of fuel, I am glad that you want to really try and calculate the POTENTIAL ROI of a hybrid. While you are at it, considering you want to be so thorough in...

    I don't even know where to begin to dissect this post. If we believe as the poster claims that these patents are owned by Ford and GM, then they can easily be viewed in the PTO (Patent Trademark Office) of the US government. Some other companies could then engineer around the patents like so...

    Klingsor- pleasure to virtually meet you as well. Good dialog is healthy for the forums. Yes, I love to surf (used to a lot until I moved to "fly over country". tryanasaurus- Some people assume that fuel costs may stay close to the same but it is still hard to make a case based soley on any...

    My answers: #1. I just filled up 2 of my cars with biodiesel yesterday. It was $2.179/gallon or $.02 cheaper than regular diesel. It is more prevalent than you think. In Europe I filled up with biodiesel 3 weeks ago and I paid $4/gallon there instead of $6/gallon for normal diesel. Quite a...

    why hasn't GWB been impeached?

    I find it amazing that our own US citizens can't appreciate Reagan's role in the break-up of the FSU but a huge portion of the Russian, Ukrainians, Fmr. East Germans and Belarussians I know think he had a huge role in the fall of the Soviet Empire. Since I often travel and work in Russia and I...

    Illegals Dying in Arizona

    Why let all the illegals in from Mexico and in effect punish the one who do it legitamately? Why not let people who can make a bigger difference in the growth of the US like well educated Russian or Ukrainian engineers for example? I think the US has responisibility here but Mexico even more so...

    why hasn't GWB been impeached?

    Reagan did introduce the 401k plan which has been almost directly responsible for our continued growth as a nation. People tend to forget that there is inertia that must be overcome with any change. Effects are not immediately obvious when changes are made in government. Just like Clinton...

    Democrats solution to everything

    Sorry wrong on all accounts. I probably have children your age. ;) I am not opposed to helping others. I do it all the time. BUT I want to choose where my money goes. I donate money through the church I attend. I volunteer my time to help other less fortunate than me. I work for 1/5 of my...

    why hasn't GWB been impeached?

    I just don't understand some of your irrationaly hatred for GW. I am not the world's biggest GW supporter but I can't say that WJC was a standout president that is for sure. The same people who don't want to fund the military are the same ones who want us to play world's policemen everywhere...

    why hasn't GWB been impeached?

    If I follow your incorrect logic on this, then Presidents Johnson and JFK should have both been impeached! Why didn't the Dems complain about war when every time WJC got caught with his zipper down some poor a$$ country got bombed. When I was in Germany during WJC was prez, it was a running...

    Democrats solution to everything

    Here is what I don't understand about our current tax model, why is it the more you make, the greater percentage they take? If applied this logic to something perhaps such the Olympics, the faster the runner ran the 100m sprint, the more weight I would toss around his neck. Does this seem fair...

    Should there be a percentage limit to what top corporate execs are allowed to earn?

    I have one question to the op, would you also support limits on damages awarded in court cases such as malpractice, personal injury, etc.? What you are really asking about is a limited form of socialism. This has failed miserably in almost all countries that have embraced this general idea...

    No collaborative relationship

    Something I found absolutely telling was when Newsweek was melting down over this story and they interviewed some other journalist hack about the chances of this story being true and his reply was "It could have been!" That was his justification for the false reporting. Since when is it the...

    Quran Abuse

    Respect must be earned. Not demanded! Just because 20% of the world's population believe in something doesn't mean it is right no more so than any other. Islam has been perverted by extremists. How can I respect a group of people that want to murder me or innocent people in the name of a holy...

    Considering how far British society has fallen this is really no surprise. Anyone who thinks that outlawing guns/knives etc. will make society a safer place is mistaken. Almost ANYTYHING can be misused!!!! What?s next, electric razors? What has made the US a pretty great place to live is our...

    0% APR on All Hondas

    Since we are still falling off topic I thought I would just add a little fuel to the fire. The Honda Insight gets pretty good mileage ~70mpg on the highway. By comparison my diesel Passat get ~60mpg hwy. and my diesel Beetle gets ~49mpg hwy. (not as aerodynamic as the Passat or any other diesel...

    $7000 rebate on Saab 9-2X Aero (==Subaru WRX)

    Point is the car has the potential. Just like OC'ing a chip, there are risks in it. It is up to you to assume those risks if you choose to do it! Any moron with enough money and a license can walk into a Yamaha/Suzi/Honda/Kawi dealership and buy a motorcycle with a much higher power/weight ratio...

    Does this apply to diesel cars as well? If not, then it is disrcimination. My diesel cars have gotten much better mileage than almost any hybrid on the highway. If you figure passenger miles per gallon they even exceed the Insight thanks to its whopping 2 person capacity. Not to mention diesel...

    $7000 rebate on Saab 9-2X Aero (==Subaru WRX)

    First off, I've spent the last 30+ years of my life racing cars, planes, motorcycles and jetskis. I am not some punk teenager who doesn't have any life experience. I have owned more Corvettes than you probably have owned cars! I have raced MANY different types of cars with my WRX. Obviously...

    $7000 rebate on Saab 9-2X Aero (==Subaru WRX)

    The Aero is the one to get. As I previously posted this motor is very easy to OC if you want to put it in computer terms. Stock it may be 227HP which makes it a fun car to drive. For about $1000 bucks you can pick up another 50-60HP. So now you are close to 300HP in a small car. If you go the...

    $7000 rebate on Saab 9-2X Aero (==Subaru WRX)

    This is a great deal on a nice car. I have the WRX Wagon and it is an incredibly tweakable car. I don't know what the 9-2x is so much slower than the WRX sedan or wagon. All the tests seem to show a bigger difference than the few hundreds pounds should penalize the car in 0-60 times or in the...

    HOT HOT HOT! $750 off $1499+ Inspiron Coupon Coming Back!

    600m is a turd! Don't buy it. I can't believe it is still in the lineup! The ONLY saving grace is it is somewhat lightweight. I had the POS and was so glad I sold it. Thanfully I got a smoking deal on it in the first place and actually sold it at a profit. The CPU gets VERY warm and heats up...

    Dell Inspiron 600m for $699

    I would NEVER buy another one of these again. Fortunately someone bought it from me. It didn't break but it felt flimsy. The screen easily flexed. Add to that it will ROAST your left hand from the hit of the processor! Live it plugged in at high speed on the CPU and your left hand will start to...

    Canon Digital Rebel XT Kit for $899

    The Canon 50mm 1.8 is a good lens that you can buy as I mentioned before pretty cheap and it is fairly fast. One gotcha about it is it is fairly fragile. The Sigma 70-200 is an excellent lens too. As I mentioned before I was going to buy one until I found the deal I did on my L version of...

    Canon Digital Rebel XT Kit for $899

    aceO07- I am not saying the Canon "L" lenses are for everyone and you have to decide what kind of shooting you want to do. I currently have the following lenses for my XT: Sigma 18-125 Sigma 55-200 Canon 18-55 Kit lens Canon 50 F1.4 Canon 70-200 L F2.8 Canon 100-400 L IS USM Canon 1.4X...

    Canon Digital Rebel XT Kit for $899

    ElFenix - Thanks for the kinkd words. Maybe in few months the XT will be cheaper but I want to use it in the spring and summer. I really like that I can stuff it in a pocket with the kit lens and go. Fast lens = $$$ as you probably well know. If you want a better feel to the body add the grip...

    Canon Digital Rebel XT Kit for $899

    Actually I had noticed it but every lens of mine except 1 outweigh the camera by quite a bit. If it is on a table (and not on a tripod) I just use a bean bag mount that I have for that purpose. Works pretty slick and is easy to carry. Look here about halfway down the page to get an idea of...

    Canon Digital Rebel XT Kit for $899

    What's wrong with the silver? This isn't a Ford Model "T". Actually the price isn't bad at all if you do the Reward Zone with it too. I haven't seen a better price for this combo anywhere than this deal. It is NOT the original D. Rebel that is 6MP. It is the new 8MP version that has most of...

    Canon Digital Rebel XT Kit for $899

    Only problem is the kit lens isn't too great. If you are serious about the quality of photos this camera can take you will end up spending more on lenses than the camera cost in the fist place. I damn lens I bought cost far more than the camera did! Everytime though I take a few photos with it I...

    *** Official MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum (nForce4 Ultra chipset) Thread ***

    I have been reading this thread with great interest. After debating over what board to buy I've decided on the MSI K8N Neo4 Plat. SLI. I am running an AMD64 chip in my notebook and loved the performance and since my P4 home PC is getting old it seemed like the A64 was a no-brainer. Now I need...
