    Anyone ever sold a leased car?

    Let's put some numbers on it. They are not real, but the point remains... TTI - $1000 Buyout - $9000 Used Car Sale price - $7000 Payments - $1200 ---------------------------- Total car cost - $4200 What can you rent/purchase for $4200? I bet you would come out ahead buying a beater...

    I bought a CTS-V today

    Don't bother with the stock MM, they break down all the time. I bought mine in March (it's a CPO'd '07), and one of the things they did was change the MM's as well, they were leaking. There are some poly mm's that should get you close to stock vibration damping but last longer. These guys...

    What is so good about crown moulding?

    It also covers up many mistakes between the two surfaces, which is why most older houses had it.

    Tony Hayward Out??? What a Surprise!

    Who would want to replace him before the well was finished being shut down? It's a no win situation before that gets fixed, you get blame for any problems there are closing the well.

    I'm 24 and still have dreams of playing NCAA volleyball

    What about NCAA rules? If you enrolled in school in 2001, wouldn't your availablility be up? Go for it if you can though, that would be great! Joe

    Duke vs. UNC - Duke still plays dirty

    I'd say it was malicious, but he may hansborugh might have brought it upon himself. UNC should have pocketed the ball after he got that rebound instead of going for the shot. They also shouldn't have shot the three attempt after the incident. UNC broke some unwritten rules today in the last...

    Canada wireless coverage?

    I don't think the prepaid will work. The goPhones only work on the native networks here (as in no roaming agreements), so why would they work in Canada? Besides, there is a roam plan for Canada (3.99 a month + .59/min charge), so the short answer is no, roaming won't be free.

    3 day old puppies! Mother died, but we're bottle feeding them.

    Good luck! You've got alot of work ahead of you. It's great that you guys are taking care of them though. I have a border collie and she's a great dog, I'm sure you'll love the one you keep! Joe

    FYI (not PSA): Rush is cool

    Geddy Lee underated? I can't stand his voice, but he is always talked about when you bring up the world's greatest bassists. Neil Pert perhaps? I think Alex is the only one who is underated. YYZ ftw! No Geddy singing!

    ACC Championship....

    I'd guess you are going to the Peach Bowl, regardless of the Championship game's outcome. That being said, it'd be easier to pick Polytech for the Peach Bowl if Tech won, because Tech still has more ACC wins then Polytech, and it'd look bad for them to skip over Tech (they would do it anyways...

    Cheapest & quiet video card for a DS4?

    Go to newegg. They have a selection where you can pick fanless video cards, try this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductLi...xPrice=&PropertyCodeValue=2953%3A18921 The cheapest one was under $25 after rebate and shipping. Joe

    core 2 duo build troubles w/video

    I had some of the same issues, and I think it was because of the 965 chipset, I rma'd 2 (they were intel boards) before I switched to another chipset. I went back to the 945, and it worked fine for my needs (for a media center pc). Joe

    anti-perspirant doesn't stop sweat?

    Yeah, me too. I think I'm alergic to the alumnium stuff that is suppost to stop you from sweating. The more I used, the more persperation I had; made for an embarrasing few months at middle school until I figured it out.

    conroe build gone wrong.. need help identifying problem

    Could you be pluging in the wrong connection to the 4 pin? It should be yellow/black/yellow/black. I just did something like that and had the same symptoms.

    Used Pontiac Vibe price.

    I got a new vibe with about the same equiptment for only a little more, and got 0% financing too.

    wow new contacts, 12 hours later and my eyes don't feel dried out.

    When I tried them, the advance contacts were less comfortable then the acuvue 2's. The Oasys are the best of the bunch though, it's what I use now. The only problem I have with them is they don't last as long before they degrade confort wise (although if you only keep them two weeks, it's not...

    Anyone own a pontiac vibe/toyota matrix?

    I picked up a vibe about a month ago. I like it so far, but agree with most of the comments. It's comparatively gutless (the manual does help though), the rear vision in general is lacking, and I haven't got advertised mpg yet (I drive it pretty fast though). It has the japanese way of...

    Men with older brothers more likely to be gay

    I could see that. As the oldest brother, I'm sure I felt more pressure to "carry on the family name" then the my younger brothers felt. They didn't say anything to me, but I still got the message. I don't think it had anything to do with me staying strait, but it might for some people. Joe

    To all bicyclers: you don't own the freakin road

    To all bicyclers: you don't own the freakin road

    I cycle to work every day here in Atlanta, and I've learned a few things: 1. If I'm not in the middle of the lane, or at least where the car's passenger tires are, I'm not seen. 2. If I ride further to the right then that, I am exposing myself to danger, the shoulders are littered with...

    Contact Lenses

    Try the new Acuvue Oasis. I switched from Acuvue 2's two weeks ago and I love them! My eyes would get bloodshot every morning putting them in (it would clear up quickly, more of a hasstle then anything else), and these don't do that. I can also where them all day without rewetting drops...

    Contact Lenses

    I don't know about a deal, but I love my new acuvue oasis lens. I had the acuvue 2's before, and I can where these longer and more comfortably. They are more expensive and need more care (I have to rub them to clean them every few days), but they are worth it. Don't screw around with your...

    How do you deal with stress and what helps you calm down?

    You must have posted while I was writeing it. Anyways, I thought today was a big day (meeting with dude) for that, and looking for updates on it. I found out I could deal with a whole lot more then I thought I could recently; I'm sure your the same way, find another hobbie or something to fill...

    How do you deal with stress and what helps you calm down?

    Do you have a pet? My dog is a great stress reliever; she can be a total goofball and make me laugh, or she'll cuddle with me if I need her to (although she hates it), and she's always up for frisbee, ball, or walks/runs. She seems to have an inherent understanding of what I need, and will act...

    POLL: Which GnR song is better, Don't Cry or Sweet Child O' Mine?

    I went with Sweet child, but what about Get in the Ring? It's the perfect song sometimes, although my favorite songs from them are Rocket Queen and Coma. Joe

    Frisbee dog owners

    I use the "Jawz" disc from: http://hyperflite.com/products.html It's expensive, but it last forever. They fly about like the frisbee fastback discs that they use in compitition, but they last 1000X longer (not quite as far, but close). They cost around $12, but they are worth it. I've...

    What did JJ Redick ever do to you?

    I disagree, I think he's a huge hypocrite, and I think he displays poor sportsmen ship. If he'd stop his whining, maybe I could like him. My favorite recent Duke players have been the last two good Duke point guards (Duhan and Williams) and I enjoyed watching Shane Batiea (however you spell that).

    What did JJ Redick ever do to you?

    Yeah, GT isn't doing great this year. That's what happens when you lose your top 6 players in one year in the ACC; and your NBA pg. Look at Wake this year without the ball puncher; one of our pg's is in the NBA and the other is in the NY Yanks. Brandon asked a question and I answered it, and...

    What did JJ Redick ever do to you?

    He's a HUGE whiner on the court. He gets all kinds of calls he shouldn't get. He pushes off to create space all the time (he doesn't need the favors he gets, dude can get a shot off in an inch). He's grabbed another player and gotten that player called for a foul. He and coach K are a great...

    Sory, but I'd rathr die 10 years early from cancer than spend my life with smelly armpits

    Antiperspirants do not take away smell, the deoderant does. Antiperspirants are to stop sweat, and I can't even use the antiperspirants, they ironically make me sweat. so for me, deoderant=fine, antiperspirants=pits. Guess what I use? Joe

    Ambien or Lunesta

    I sometimes rationalize myself to sleep. I have times where I'm an insomeac, <sp> and what gets me to sleep is realising that thinking about whatever I'm thinking about is way less productive the then sleeping would be; I'll do a better job tomorrow, be able to think clearer, whatever applies...
