LCD, PLASMA, or DLP/LCD PROJECTION?
i have seen in the owner reports how that 50" zenith is an LG and is a SMOKING deal and a very good tv. I got a micro center ad in the mail today. The Hitachi 42" plasma with 1080i is around 1800.

even though the exterior is soft, i think buyers will overlook that. but the interior is so bizarre i think it will turn away a lot of buyers.

LCD, PLASMA, or DLP/LCD PROJECTION?
thanks. hey i worked at a best buy for 5 years in college. anyways. i will post a pic later of our space. We have a shallow mantel above our fireplace we envision as the spot for our tv. IF we put a DLP on the floor we have to remove furniture. any plasma over 42" would also have to go on the floor. our living room is 2 stories high and had over 200 square feet of window glass with wood blinds over it. I have my sights set on the Westinghouse 1080p monitor if i go LCD. Its gotten good reviews and I can afford it. I really do want to use this tv with a computer, but i don't like the way the large LCD's look. arg.

Internship with Ford
any internship with such a storied company will be a plus on your resume. considering you are a college freshman, and ford has been around for 100+ years or whatever, i would say the pecking order does not favor you. i.e. unless you have multiple suitors, your status (i.e. college freshman) is right up there with burger flipper, small town stripper, and janitor at K mart. moral-take any good opportunity like that that presents itself and say YES a lot and learn what you can. Wipe the bosses ass with golden tissues if that means you get a reference from him later on. Besides, considering Ford's lack of resources, you might be doing all their engineering for them.

No BlueTec for 5 states
THE 'special interest groups' in THOSE states rigged it and made it so no diesel ever passes. There are certain types of people and certain political affiliations that do not want diesel to ever get an inroads here. California, Maine, Massachusetts, New York and Vermont. A bunch of states that think they are above everyone else. The govt ought to pull transportation and road funding from any state that chooses to deviate from national emissions, fuel economy, crash safety, or engineering standards. Any state that wants to 'go its own' ought to be left high on dry on funding then. 'Being different' serves no masters. The rest of the country pays.

LCD, PLASMA, or DLP/LCD PROJECTION?
ok, i've been shopping a lot lately and this is what I've found Plasma still has a better pic for movies and sports. It may get washed out in daylight some, but if you're smart you have your tv in a room that can be darkened to watch movies. LCD looks good up to about 26" and then its pixels start looking to big. there is a wide variation in the quality of LCD's. Plasmas are a lot closer. 1080p is fairly available in LCD. I saw the world's first plasma 1080p today ta BBY/Magnolia. it was 10 grand and is not otherwise prevalent. its generally suggested to not hook plasma up to a computer. according to some, burn in still exists in plasmas. LCD"s are lighter and more user friendly but look dull and flat. Samsung is the class of LCD's. LG, JVC, Sharp all look pretty good though. Many different plasmas look good. 50 inch is a great plasma size. lots of manufacturer's plasmas look good. Ambilight ont he Phillips TV's are a nice feature. Plasma is heavier, runs hotter on more power. so after all this i think I may wait till next year to get one. New and cheaper always happens and the new Mac computers get announded in a week so I htink I will blow my slush fund on that.

you clean up the vomit yet? that new avenger is absolutely atrocious. the tundra is mediocre like everything else toyota, it's just in order to proclaim themsleves American they thought they would throw in a bunch of cheap plastics and bad switches and knobs. imagine how crappy it would be if they had to pay union labo and decent wages and to make their new plants LEED gold certified. the FJ's interior is absolutely horrific, this appears to be on the same path.

there you go, giving it a pass on reputation. you're worse than 3/4 of those half assed 'auto journalists' out there. the new camry's interior has plenty of cheeseball plastic. what makes you think the tundra didn't escape the beancounters? those knobs and switches look cheaper than those on my 3 year old's toys.......... having already seen the tahoe, avalanche and denali's interior i know the chevy LTZ pickups will be gorgeous inside. with decent knobs and switches.

they would have been better off rebadging this
