  1. so.. did i miss anything, or is there something big different in this compared to the one they are selling right now?...or wait and find out?
  2. the accent lighting... cool, but hopefully not on when you're actually driving.
  3. yes, in the coming years, engines will seemingly downsize with little loss of actual power people use on average....like dwight has been giving examples of in his "showcases" for what.. 2-3 years it would seem, while improving MPG. i just think with a stage kit 180-200 hp could be hit easily....but maybe it will take the next gen engine to do that with DI and maybe improved VVT
  4. indeed olds.... i agree the original post is an example of why we are the 94th in education!
  5. i'm not arguing with you about how understated they are(political reasons-- from above; "which are a political tool"). i'm arguing that the stats are "Nourishing the Mercantilists"(in the first article) which you want instituted when other countries are doing the same thing.
  6. only if you're looking at stats....which are a political tool to push intervention policies. http://mises.org/daily/4962 edit: and http://mises.org/daily/2589
  7. hopefully stage kits will come quickly... like for the cobalt and HHR turbos!
  8. better than economics of war. unemployment is temporary, economic warfare hurts everyone(except those promoting it,powerful and the rich)
  9. i've known 1 person to say they were, and i couldn't take them doing that... thought it was serious, but also purely manipulative....not that she had a good past, or was even trying to make good decisions. no idea what she's doing these days. also know another girl that came very close to doing it multiple times...bleach.. nooses.. easy things... not that i knew she was thinking of this so much, but just kept talking to her, keep her mind off of it as much as possible, know someone would miss her if she ended it. became good friends and think she found a good place in her life that she doesn't want to do that any more.. and that was more than a year ago.
  10. Yay for mercantilism olds!!!! (i'm assuming you should know exactly what i'm talking about) ....that is all.
  11. they should have let the privately funded one take a shot instead of insisting it be bigger than the private interests thought useful....making it that much harder to plan/see real profit in it.
  12. Duh! any more than $.01 was too much. never count on "gov" to make a rational decision with money....or to "hurt" a powerful lobbying group.
  13. it's not really the holding the phone thing that gets people distracted...it's the conversation part of the call/text. how about a text to speech and vise versa for replying? THAT would help tons of people, and not restrict what someone does in their car...while letting them keep their eyes on the road and around.. not at a screen.
  14. grants for passing laws = buying influence...sometimes blackmail, like with the drinking age for interstate funds. does it also mean we're going to go backwards on electronics/entertainment inside cars? will bluetooth have to be gutted cause it can sync with the phone? people will just try to hide how they text/talk creating a bigger problem.
  15. i got an idea.. make the driver's test harder. [sarcasm] oh wait.. Prohibitions for all!!!! yay!!! [/sarcasm]
  16. 10,000 watts isn't even available from 1 standard ac outlet. even a lot of 7.1 surrounds are only rated close to 800watts. and subs don't go over 1500. number magic!!!!
  17. very nice... might be worth 2K+ but not the 6.
  18. because interstates have minimum limits. and for those that are the law enforcement
  19. next items are Hdd to move to W7...then a Video card. could throw in a 900 series mobo(sometime) when they drop in price.
  20. anyone need\want an x3 720 ..... or it's hs/f? i have 2 from an rma and the one they sent new.
  21. from new egg on preblackfriday deals... $170. and picked up some 2133mhz 8gb ram from gskill for $60... clocked at 1600mhz @ 9 timings. might try to see if @8 is stable after awhile any recent upgrades you guys made?
  22. *not a snow/ice vehicle*
  23. they are LI-ion batteries.. why do you think they can't be flown anywhere?! (even though lots are allowed on planes ...laptops, phones....more?)
  24. good to have to back, and well on the road to full recovery.
  25. fast? i bet it never sees 40 pulling that trailer. hahah. "GEAR IT HIGH!"
