It sounds like a dealer promotion.
MNAO is not really trying to buy your car, they already have some.
Dealers send bogus letters saying they have a high demand for used well kept RX8's (or whatever car).
That way, you can go to the dealership and buy a new car and they can hook you into a new loan.
Of course, anything that you're upsidedown on your car will be rolled into the new loan.

My big screen in the living room is HD but I don't have HD channels.
I was thinking about buying the HD antenna for local channels, but the Hitachi TV was for my room for the xBox, so I wasn't planning on paying for HD channels.
Also, Verizon is supposed to have permission to offer FIOS TV in my area soon. They have to get permits from the city and pay some people off before they can offer it.
Once I have FIOS TV I may consider HD Channels.

The TV is at my girlfriend's house right now and she's got the Verizon FIOS, just wondering if I should get the HD channels.

google ftw:

LOS ANGELES — Hollywood's box office record books have been transformed. The sci-fi adventure "Transformers" had an unprecedented Tuesday haul of $27.4 million in its official debut, beating a record of $15.7 million set last year by "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest."

"It's the biggest Tuesday ever," said Mike Vollman, spokesman for Paramount

the iPhone sold that many units?

the only good thing about that is that of it being a status symbol.

yea man. the new iPhone doesn't support 3G. that's just one big reason why not to buy into it. then, another thing i didn't like about it, is that you need to have iTunes to sync up the iPhone, and it also doesn't support *.wma file formats. those are just a few of the reasons why i wouldn't fork over $600 USD into one of those new "doo-hickeys there".

u got an iphone fury? congrats! well, i played around w/ my friends' iphones, and i really like it. the web surfing is suprisingly very useable, and the video/ music/ and phone features are really easy-to-use and really nice. there are hacks out there now that allow u to buy it and use it as an ipod + wireless handheld pc w/o having to activate a 2 year contract at all. there are also rumors are that a word processor, spreadsheet, and other apps are on the way... hopefully when my verizon contract expires they'll have a 15 or 20gb model available.

p.s. on a side note... gave my 8 a bath yesterday and found a bunch of new things i didn't notice before... besides the usual additional hairline scratches that always seem to show up outta nowhere, i also found a blemish on the 9pm position of the rear, passenger-side fender well. what i hate about it is it's just noticeable enough to annoy me, but probably too small to justify fixing... dunno if it was from some debris i ran over on the freeway or how it even got there... i didn't have time to take a pix, but i'll try to when i get a chance. just needed to vent a bit- thanks for listening.

i took a lok at the iphone in the apple store the other day and i must admit like all apple products it looks pretty sweet and functions nicely but i have to agree with all the fall backs and high price tag and it being singular i will stay far away

detich: I sympathize with the scratches.... as meticulously as I try to care for my car, I've got a TON of fine scratches everywhere.
Most of them popped up after the dealership gave my car a "free wash" (after asking them not to)

I tried covering them up with some Zaino but it didn't work as well as I'd like... think I need to talk to you or June about getting some lessons on the porter cable treatment. (it's beeen YEARS since I"ve used a buffer of any kind...)

it looks pretty and the internet feature thing would probably the only reason why i'd get one. otherwise, no.
