  1. Well, it's a 32 bit vista machine.....I actually haven't checked the upgrade possibility on the Microsoft site. The hdd has been running at max capacity for several months. Whenever vista consumed more, I just removed more music off the drive. I had about 140gb free when new, movies and music and photos consumed I would say close to 100gb of that. I have most everything backed up on one 160gb portable right now. I was considering copying and moving all my stuff to the 320gb portable drive I was using in my Taurus x with the sync. I can just use a flash drive in the car for awhile while it's so cold. Right now I guess I would say what you guys say makes sense.
  2. 4.5 yr old vista laptop / main computer. 2gb/160. Erratic behavior. BSoD's or freezes or reboots often. No prior windows reinstall. Hard drive full economically can't afford new one now. But there is always credit. Would prefer to wait till better times to get something awesome instead of just to get by. Want wireless printing. Can by used print server for 15 bucks to work with printer I already have or get new eprint. I have an unopened full version of vista here to use if I choose to rebuild. But who knows maybe the battery or hdd or motherboard or memory or LCD goes bad soon too. Have a new free wireless n router in box I could use. Current laptop is not wireless N, just g. Rebuild with vista? Or spend 100 bucks on win 7 for old machine? Or, 350 bucks for a new ok stopgap (impala) laptop 3/320/15.6. Or 4/500/17.3 for 450 both with lesser hardware. Ultimate goal is mac or top end windows laptop. Any recommendations on how the money would be best saved or spent right now?
  3. red instead of dishwater gray or silver helps.
  4. since DI helps with MPG, i think it will be part of the program
  5. how about a GLI coupe in blu, though?
  6. There's your interior revisions on the Camaro people......Cruze wheel with the bottom lopped off (not a bad thing)......new gauge faces, some of the Nebraska plains dash broken up. That motor though! Mustang GFY. I want to see the antithesis of this now. I want that turbo 4 camaro!
  7. yum, time to seek out a Journey R/T and Caravan R/T.....
  8. Nice Mitsubishi beak. Throw some eyebrow headlights on the thing and sell it in the Mits dealers too! Very Evoesque beak. Very glad Dodge is still building beasts like this.
  9. pencil sketches ok? I am not yet privvy to such technological tools. Or can I just post a picture of a Mitsubishi Lancer GTS with a Dodge grille and wallah "2012 Dodge Lancer" Because that's all Dodge really should do. What is Fiat's compact? No amount of FIAT CURRENCY could make a business case for it?
  10. I have to admit, the GLI does look like it may pan out to be something more PURE. A true baby German pedigree sport sedan. Far from nougat. When that new Passat hits market, there will have to be some correction or justification for current Passat pricing. for example, Passat S will be cheaper than a Jetta SEL, like the one I drove. I get that the SEL Jetta has more kit, but maybe not all that much. Same engine, larger car.....the SEL Jetta still has stick and vinyl at 23,500.........
  11. ah, so many things you can do with a finger. So many places to put it.
  12. either way its a huge improvement.
  13. lol.....whatever. when i was checking leasing pricing on the new regal the other day at a dealer he told me the residual on the regal, and then he said 'that is better than the toyotas now, some of them are only at 41%' scru toyota
  14. I knew blu would be in on this! Here's the thing. GM can't even get the cruze sedan to the US without a 3 year delay, they can't even get the hatchback here to go with it! they can't even get a replacement Impala in place after how many years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  15. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=veN2gyCEj8s Happy Birthday Happy Birthday
  16. http://2011optimatestdriveoffer.cloudapp.net/ 25 bucks to you for driving a kia optima. WOOT!
  17. drive a lucerne and a v6 lacrosse back to back and that will approximate how much improved the Impala will be as far as powertrain. lazy to crazy in one fell swoop. I cannot see them standing pat on the interior. If they do then why even bother. Even if the dash shape is not redone, then redo the gauges and the center stack devices. And get a new plastic spec for all the parts.
  18. finally, a w body after like 40 years with gm's best powertrain.
  19. The SE option Sienna is supposed to have the best suspension out of all vans these days.
  20. I sat in the new Quest for the first time the other day and was not expecting nice but it was. It doesn't feel like a huge shipping crate. The interior is an Infiniti, not a cheap Nissan. Of course the one I sat in was loaded and had leather. Outside is still ugly but I left thinking it really is something that will snag some buyers. The Dodge interior is vastly improved. The Odyssey has a sporting attitude. Minivans will regain their sales mojo if they can shed weight and improve mpg as well as keep price down. The Chrysler vans sell well to a lot of folks because of their price advantage. The Honda in particular is too pricey. The other thing that would help is if the vans took on a little more crossover personality. That being offering the all wheel drive. The Toyota does and that's it. For 40k in a family vehicle it needs to have all wheel drive for wider acceptance.
  21. its not that its bad, its that it could be way better. the design is bland and materials could be upgraded a little. together as it is now it has a bit of a faux (old Korean) quality to it.
  22. I like the rear of the Juke. Some recent Nissan elements and a little bit of Volvo. I just cannot stand the beak. Nissan should add a 3-4 hundred to the price and throw some sound deadener and better plastic in it.
  23. http://www.autoguide.com/auto-news/2011/02/2012-hyundai-genesis-to-debut-in-chicago-with-5-0-liter-v8-8-speed-transmission.html i hope they update the $h!hthy interior
