it's a small world afterall, and the snowflake bumper is now Ti Gray.
Yeah, Ray did pick up the Tsunami bumper and had it painted. He was planning on getting the Ings side skirts as well, but went through a lot of money on his car over a very short period of time, and I think he ran out of money.

keith, I know you're ignoring me...
You should also adjust the colors on your siggy.
Seems like one of your games titles is a different color, so I fixed it for you.

Not ignoring you man.....not at all. I just had been getting so frustrated with the game lately that I didn't want to burn myself out on it entirely....cause it can be a great game. I remember the first couple weeks the game came out...we would all play online together.....but then Jessie stopped...and then Casey got distracted by the Miata....Loren, rarely see him on anymore...and the list goes on.

I am really into Rock Band right now, Legos is 4 achievements from being done....but there is always time in there to shoot some foos.

I would love to have a Nascar race again on Forza....but ti seems that no one has played that game in months....

since games are being discussed: Someone mentioned that X-box will get a blu-ray addon soon. That could be kinnda cool for you guys.
Anyone looking at getting it? (will probably be cheaper then buying a seperate player???)

I'm still considering the HD DVD player for the xBox.
It's $49 at Best Buy.
Comes w/ 1 free dvd and a rebate for 5 free dvd's.
Plus, I have a $40 Best Buy gift card, and it still works as a good up conversion dvd player.

You going to get a blu ray player down the road for new movies?

If I bought a blu-ray player, it would either be in the form of a PS3, or a media center pc.
I'll wait a little longer to see where we end up w/ downloadable HD content.
Downloadable HD is showing up everywhere, and in a year or so, may be just as plentiful as the DVD's.

well, at least u HD die-hards will have plenty of **** titles to watch, since that's their format of choice. (at least until they jump on the blue ray bandwagon.)

p.s. to my knowledge, high definition "content" is "hd content"- regardless whether it's stored on a hard disk, blue ray disc , or "hd" disc- ie the physical platform is merely a storage media.

If you guys, like me, are guilty of buying the pricey cables and connections for TV and stereo equipment, read this.

w00t!! Glad to hear the car is all fixed! If the guys at Tustin Mazda hadn't taken care of ya, I'd have to drive down there and raise hell for you.

Cesar: AWESOME find on that cable article. I'm forwarding that to my employee right now. (the one I PM'd you about recently) She opted for that cable I found online and when they hooked it up, her boyfriend said, "it doesn't look as good as it did in the Store. It's gotta be the cable!"

i used to have $5 generic 1/4" cables for my studio reference monitors in my home studio. and, they sounded ok at best. i then i switched over to the $25 monster cables, i could definitely hear a difference. maybe it's better shielding or what not. but, in some audio applications i do think that higher grade cables make a difference.

So what kind of lubricant does everybody use with their clay bar?
I love my car, but I think if I use KY for a lubricant . . people may accuse me of 'loving' my car.

car wash soap diluted with water. Get a spray bottle, makes it super easy

cool. Thanx.

The car is now almost 2 years old, so it is clay bar time.
I normally would use a buffer. But that seems a little extreme for a newer car. I am used to old junkers with 25 year old paint.

yeah, no buffer needed. Make sure you don't drop that clay bar though, it's useless if it touches the ground.

I always have an extra, just to be on the safe side.
