sweet, i might meet you there, but just like you, i also work 7 days a week, so i might go at the expense of being wiped out.

you could always load linux onto the old laptops; old laptops running linux run as fast as new laptops with Vista.

I'm just hoping they show more than just the VF-25 since every series after SDF:M had at least three VF's show cased throughout the series. We need some more variety.

It's not farfetched to have three fighters progressions in 25 years, especially if it's the main fighter, we're still using the F-15's and 18's and they're both over 20 years old (1972 and 1978 respectively) and aren't going to be removed from service anytime soon.

I agree, Tiger Force was lame, the battle corps stuff (minus the spring loaded crap) was way cooler. They should do some of the Corps GI Joe's, like Corps alley viper

The comments make it sound like it was that way after a good clean; which is why i want to know exactly what he/she used to get the paint off

What'd he use to remove the paint?

I regret not purchasing Flint when i had the chance, he was all over the shelves for the longest time and i kept passing; i'm kicking myself for that now. Fortunately, I have my friend and TRU looking out for these, so they should be getting a shipment soon.

The improved crotch beach head is a huge improvement over the first model, i'll take pictures later for comparison, but it's definitely noticeable.

I did a midnight run to Wal-Mart on the way to my night job and they had fresh cases stocking their shelves. There were literally about 18+ boxes stacked over 6 foot tall of transformers Deluxe figures, but only one box of 25th anniversary joe's. I popped open the Joe's box and picked out a fixed crotch beach head; wasn't interested in the rest. Also picked up another CC Bumble Bee if anyone wants it.

so who won exactly? it looked like schumacher did, but if he didn't, then he was running on a wet track so the test isn't fair.

I don't really hunt much 'cause i have a friend who works at TRU, but for things like Wal-Mart or Target Exclusives, i normally have to look for them. Generally, it's not too much trouble as my local retailers keep well stocked.

I'm working nights so i miss Heroes in favor of ten hour work shifts And i hate watching it online, I might have to wait for the DVD set on this season

I've done quite a few internal laptop fixes and builds; generally they all take apart very similarly once you've done it a couple times on different models. Remove (and label through whatever means you feel comfortable) any visible screws from the bottom of the laptop, often times there will be a set of screws for the bottom half of the casing (including screws that belong to all of the compartments like the RAM, CPU, and HDD) and a set of screws for the keyboard. Some models (like the Dell's) you have to remove the keyboard, unscrew screws that are underneath the keyboard and then unscrew all of the screws in the bottom of the laptop to get it into two halves in order to access the fans. From there it's a simple swap out, if you incidentally purchased the wrong fan (since you probably won't know until you get it open) so long as the power requirements are the same, you can cut and crimp (or soder)... i don't fully recommend cutting and crimping, but if you've gone as far as to take the laptop apart, you won't see it when you put it back together, and so long as the fan is powering up, you're good as gold. Laptops are really picky, i've found VAIO's to be the worst to take apart, Dell's are kind of standard, haven't worked on any Toshiba's to be honest with you.

I got lucky with the CC BB because a close friend of mine works at TRU, but it looks like i'm on my own with the Wal-Mart Exclusives

you can also use Ctrl and the scroll wheel on your mouse to zoom in and out.

I probably should've bought wave 2 when i had the chance, because now Wave 2 is virtually non existent on my local retailers shelves.

LOL, i half agree with you; yes, i'm more focused and definitely more in control of my vehicle when driving manual, however, i can still eat, talk on my cell phone, and perform any other one handed task while driving manual. It doesn't affect me to drive manual with one hand over driving with two, unless i was trying to race or perform some other fully focused task, leisurely driving can be performed with one hand easily. But definitely, i feel that there would be a lot less accidents if everyone was forced to drive manual, or at least forced to learn manual when obtaining their drivers license.

Even the draggers use two stage autos, you hardly see them with manuals anymore. It's normally the auto crossers and definitely the drifters that need manuals. I like having a manual for the sheer control and almost organic feel it brings to your driving experience; this coming from someone who used to commute to DC everyday for three years (we're always in the top 3 for worst traffic and most aggressive driving), so the traffic argument is a moot point. Motors and exterior options are a different bag, especially when you're talking 60's and 70's, because all of the good manuals are either in a garage or wrapped around a tree. The nice thing about your cars, is if you really wanted to, you could pick up a compatible tremac no problem and bolt it right up. The aftermarket has become very generous for the classic generation of vehicles.

I've never had trouble driving manual in the snow, anyone who does shouldn't be driving manual in the first place.

precisely my thinking. The performance potential of this car seems uncanny, and styling is something to be judged in person, a good example is the Cayman; Caymans' look pug ugly in photos but look absolutely stunning in person. Furthermore, the car has a cD (drag coefficient) of .27, which is basically unheard of even for super cars.

GT-R was just officially unveiled at Tokyo Motor Show, US shores will see the car released in June 2008 and its Nurburgring lap time is confirmed 7:38, it has established itself among some of the fastest super cars in the world to run on the ring (same as or better than McLaren SLR, old CCR, Ford GT, ZO6, Porsche 997 Turbo, barely slower than 997 GT2, Carrera GT, Koenigsegg CCR, etc.). This would make the GT-R the best price to performance for any car to run laps on the ring. Straight line performance is claimed (by Nissan, not tested by any other source as of yet) at 0-60 in 3.5 and 1/4 in 11.7 which is definitely super car fast. Price is not official, but rumors have it pinned at just under $70g (ZO6 territory), but that's the MSRP, so mark up will probably be considerably more (a la GT500, ZO6, Ford GT, etc.). Colors have been confirmed as: Ultimate Metal Silver Titanium Gray White Pearl Vibrant Red Dark Metal Gray & Super Black High Res Photos here: http://press.nissan-global.com/NISSANGTR/EN/photographs.html Full Nurburgring film can be found here: http://www.nissan.co.jp/MS/TOKYO2007/E/index.html Click GT-R detail at opening, and then movie from the bar menu. GTR gets influenced by Mobile Suit Gundam http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/coupes...gt_r/index.html Any and Everything you'll need to know about the GT-R http://www.nagtroc.com/forums/index.php?sh...=20263&st=0 You can even watch TV (built in digital TV tuner) and DVD's on the 7" LCD screen; the interface for the LCD was programmed by the developers of the Gran Tourismo Franchise. And the Trans is exactly as pfunk had determined which is basically a Corvette transaxle with an extra drive shaft for the front wheels and all of the split is computer controlled. Lots of goodies and firsts for technology in this vehicle, including plasma filled cylinder liners; they're basically taking technology that is normally only applicable to cars in the $400K+ range and stuffing it into a production level sub $70k car. If all goes as planned, I will own one in about 2-3 years.

6 Speeds are great, i never really used 6th gear much when i owned my Supra

I mentioned that earlier, i find them (RX-8's) in the paper for wicked cheap all the time, usually in the 20k mile range going for $18k more or less.

telco... it's always telcos fault
