  2. Just got my upgrade disc from Tigerdirect, ordered it Tuesday the 3rd and received it yesterday the 5th. Did the install upgrading from Vista, took about 2 hours and so far I'm loving it. Overall system performance is up and and pinning my icons to my taskbar and the new customizing of themes etc is very well done. I just bought the standard Home Premium which suits my needs just fine and I'm happy with my purchase. Next on the to do list is updating my graphics card.
  3. Sorry to hear about your trouble with the Regal. As far as buying an old car to use as a daily driver, I bought my Olds in '01 and it was my daily driver for over a year before anything went wrong with it. Let me also add that I drove it hard. It was 22,23 years old at the time and I was a dumb kid thinking I have a V8 so I'm gonna drive it like I stole it. After my grandfather passed away in in 2002 I inherited his '96 Taurus and gave the Olds a break. Within 3 months the Taurus needed a new transmission with 45K on the clock. I gave the car to my father in exchange for his 1985 Chrysler Fifth Avenue and used that as my daily driver for over a year. Eventually The Chrysler became one headache after another and I put the Olds back on the road. Now the Olds is far from being a mechanically solid car, but It always got up and went and whenever a problem did arise it was usually a relatively cheap repair. I wish I could say the same about my Riviera which is 16 years newer....so don't give up faith in the oldies, you'll find a winner
  4. I slept all day, Halloween is my favorite holiday but it's just not the same anymore, there were ZERO trick or treaters anywhere in my neighborhood. So I passed out around 5 PM and have all this candy now that I didn't give out.
  5. butt. I'm in serious need of a new chair for my time at the computer, my current chair is 12 years old and is very "tired". The problem is I haven't the faintest idea of what to get or what manufacturer makes the best chairs. So I need some imput and suggestions preferably with pictures. The criteria: must be black Material isn't a major issue Must have very thick padding/cushioning Lumbar support Headrest Recline ( by handle or lever) I don't like seatbacks that move with you Good leg support and perhaps even an extended seat cushion for extra thigh support Be able to support 300 lbs+ ( I weigh about 260, 270 but I like to know my chair is strong) Reasonable price. I'm hoping to spend 200 or less if possible, but am willing to consider more expensive chairs for the sake of this thread and seeing what's out there. So can anyone make any suggestions based on your own chairs you sit in at home or work while on your computer?
  6. Great looking Regal, aside from the mismatched interior...its a very classy yet mean looking Regal. BTW I have the exact same steering wheel in my Olds lol.

  9. "Hey look at that! the smoke grenades fit in the cup holders!"
  10. I posted this in the Fiesta thread but felt it deserves it's own seperate thread, I've watched it a few times and still get a kick out of it. Eat your heart out Blues Brothers
  11. Series 1 Supercharged in my '95 Riviera. Supercharged Series 2's debuted in '96.
  12. The wheels can be taken off, the suspension can be replaced the holes drilled into the rockers for the step bars can be filled, the seats, headliner, carpet, dash and every other bit of the interior can be redone, the ugly wish I was a Caddy grille can be replaced, and the put too much tanning lotion on so now my ass is orange color can be repainted....
  13. My first car was a '78 Olds Ninety Eight and I currently own a '79 Delta 88, and considering how rare these cars are seeing this abomination of an otherwise mint '79 Ninety Eight makes me want to inflict severe bodily harm to this seller. Behold this abomination of a car
  14. Challenger with the 6 speed. Good looks, especially in RT and SRT form, sort of plain jane interior but functional, and I'm a sucker for the full width tailamps and general f@#k you the car gives to people who complain about lift over height. As is the case with the original Challenger it is more rare than a Camaro or Mustang ( a bonus in my book) I prefer being different than every other "gear head". Best of all you could get an '09 RT for a great price and with Chrysler's general lack of sales I'm sure you could get them down even further. Edit not to step on any toes, but I'm not a fan of the new censoring here, at least in the lounge which is members only.
  15. I'm a night owl and usually get called a vampire cause I run for my bed when I see sunlight. But in recent years, the last 2 or 3, my schedule has been all over the place....one week I might be going to bed at 4 in the afternoon and waking up at midnight and the next the reverse. Right now its 7:22 PM and I've been awake since 11 PM last night, and this is one of those weeks where Im going to bed at 4 in the afternoon but I forced myself to stay out to try to switch my schedule again, plus I need to run out for some smokes...
  16. As a lifelong Riviera fan, and current final gen Riv owner, I would love to see a new Riv with GM's new high quality interiors and engines. However while I agree a V6 should be in the mix, I feel its should be the base motor with an optional V8. The reason is while I love final gen Riv's I've always felt that despite the fact that they're supercharged and it makes for some bragging rights when people see the supercharged badge on the trunk to say yeah, my car came supercharged from the factory, I always longed for V8 power. There is a certain amount of prestige that goes with saying V8 that is more befitting the name Riviera. That being said, as far as Buick's lineup all being based on the same basic body shell, the Lacrosse is nice and all, but even with 2 doors its no Riviera. The Riviera has always been a unique car in terms of style save for the B-body based 77-78 models, and to a lesser extent the 80- to early 90's models. Finally in 1995 Buick was back on track with a unique design and interior not shared with any other division or Buick, but it was too little too late. Personally I feel that GM was smoking crack in the 90's between dropping full size RWD and not giving the Riviera a chance. Some may argue that 5 models years is enough time, but I think not. A redesigned 2000 Riviera with Northstar power and such might have helped bury the memory of the much unloved '86-93 design. 1999 wasn't even a full model year for the Riv, with production ending in November 1998 IRC.
  17. This actually put a smile on my face, as weird as that may seem. I've always planned on being buried in my '79 Olds, and I bought it when I was 18. We'll see if I still have it when the time comes, if not perhaps my current car at that point.
  18. A piss, a cigarette and either iced tea or soda in that order. I don't eat breakfast normally.
  19. show off Seriously though I mean I have broadband how can I make my speed higher?
  20. So far I have the highest star rating...Optimum Online FTW New tests.
