Griffin Technologies Powermate? My current line of gadgets/toys include: HTPC, front projector, filling out my surround sound, receiver, new sub enclosure, clothes...the line stretches for miles, actually, so nevermind :)

Damn you. =P

Personally I would save the cash, but...

If I had to choose, I would go with option #2.

What kind of car do you have? Maybe some mods?

Ipod? SPeakers for car?

Personally, a nice classy non digital watch

I have a Nomad Jukebox 3 right now for mp3 and it works just fine. I have been considering getting an Ipod or an Iriver IHP 120 but I don't *need* one yet. My uncle is the CTO of Creative and he gets me some free stuff, so I could probably bum a Nomad Zen Xtra from him. It's no Ipod, but it's free.

Tivo is great, but I don't watch T.V. all that often. I'd probably opt for a TV tuner over Tivo if I really wanted to get something of that nature.

Car speakers - not a car audio enthusiasts...and the stock 8 speaker system on my Passat sounds fine. It could use a sub though.

I can't really do HT stuff since I live in a small apartment... :(

Still thinking about XM and a watch.

Good suggestions though guys, keep them coming :)

Money ~$500

You're not even in college and you have this much money? Damn you.

Get XM, you won't regret it, make sure you get the model that you can take to your car, or home. I think you should add another option, R/C racing, it's as close to real racing without you being in the driver seat, and it's just a lot smaller, but size doesn't matter. ;)

Spend the dosh on clothes, mate. Go out and buy yourself a new wardrobe, shoes, jackets, tops, bottoms, the whole bloody lot. With the money left over get yourself a money hairstyle.

#2. They are getting ready to finally get rid of all commercials for their same price of $10 i believe. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think I read this somewhere. Maybe not though.

Or, if you want to buy some nice clothes, you might be able to afford a coat, shoes, jeans and a haircut. ;) :D

If you're in a small apartment, how about some nice headphones? (notice the audio-trend for my suggestions? :p)
