Speaking of not starting.... Both my dad's F250 and my brother's Ranger wouldn't start yesterday. Cold weather apparently killed the batteries. Must be a Ford thing... Even the Beast started, and it's starting to self destruct.

Happy birthday, bitch.

Not the exact same one... I'd need to find someone with XP Professional Media Center Edition 2005.

I can't see a country like Japan switching "easily".

To answer some questions... It wasn't from porn or IE. It was from Limewire. As well, system restore and Z's ideas did not work.

Is a system restore my only choice?

So... I got the classic Trojan Horse virus. My anti-virus software caught it and quarantined it, but not before it did some work to my PC. It apparently replaced some important Windows files which caused it to become unstable. In other words, my entire desktop is gone. Icons, start menus, toolbar... all of it. I have to use the task manager to open anything. The exact message I get is "Files that are required for Windows to run properly have been replaced by unrecognized versions. To maintain system stability, Windows must restore the original versions of these files. Install your Windows XP Professional CD 2 now." The problem is, I never got a disk. It was bought at Best Buy where Geek Squad does all the set up so all you have to do is plug it in and turn it on. Well, that must include keeping the all the discs and whenever you have a problem, you'll have to go through them and get robbed. Everything still works, besides the desktop... It's just a pain in the ass manually opening everything. Anyways, I'm not sure what to do. What would you guys suggest? I'd like to find the disc I need, but I certainly don't want to pay for one. I also thought about going for the Vista upgrade, but even with a $50 rebate, I don't imagine it'll be cheap. I also wonder if a Windows update could recognize the files I need and download them...? Ideas? Suggestions? Other help?

Brings a smile to my face...

PCS was right about one thing... This is going to be quite the show. Watching GM destroy itself... Not something I thought I would see.

I still bet one would be more reliable than the Cutlass. Or my Grand Am... Or the Sunfire... Or the Blazer...

I want to import one and gloat about it like it's the best thing since sliced bread, just to watch everyone's faces cringe. I tried turning C&G into one big happy rave... No one likes Jerry Springer.

And then there's me, the perfectly sane one. :wink:

It wasn't completely horrible in the concept... But I see it going downhill by quite a bit for production. That's even if I ignore the cobbled together spy shots.

Just look at Chrysler fans who like the Sebring... And consider what I have in my sig. See? Bias makes us all irrational. We must learn to look past our own biases.

In that picture... I feel like its smiling at me with the lower grill and the headlights. Sort of like something from "Cars". But maybe I'm just delusional.

I get atleast one each day.

You should get me in touch with him.... I'll take $2k for mine, no problem.

Quite unrealistic... but it fits the criteria.

Is PCS still here? I thought no one took him seriously?

I still can't get past the center stack. Fix that and I'll be happy to join the Kool-aid keggar.

I just now looked at the sales figures... The G6 is now the best selling Epsilon. Also, Saturn now outsells both Buick and Cadillac.

I can't rank them, I can only compile them into two lists. There's my best looking list, that only has two, while the rest make the worst looking list.

Top 20: 1. GM - 3,789,901 2. Toyota - 2,620,825 3. Ford - 2,386,957 4. Chrysler - 2.076,650 5. Honda - 1,551,542 6. Nissan - 1,068,238 7. Hyundai - 467,009 8. Volkswagen - 452,330 9. Kia - 305,473 10. Mazda - 296,110 11. BMW - 293,795 12. Mercedes-Benz - 253,316 13. Subaru - 187,206 14. Mitsubishi - 128,993 15. Volvo - 106,363 16. Suzuki - 101,884 17. Audi - 93,508 18. Land Rover - 49,550 19. Mini - 42,045 20. Porsche - 34,693 2007 Auto Sales - Wall Street Journal

If? This is production. Atleast, I don't remember reading otherwise...

A better question is, if its going to have a center console, why does it need a shifter on the column or the dash. They're acceptable in minivans... This isn't a minivan. Dash mounted shifters are retarded in all other applications. It's not an ergonomic design from my experience. It has an unnatural feeling. That, and to be honest... It looks like $h!.
