I watched Megamind and Rio with my son today they are both pretty good movies. I'm wishing it was spring so I could have a clean shiny car.

I did call that guy last night about the 4th gen SS. He was so F'ed up, he could hardly talk. Sounded like he was having a party and I do not want to go there and look at it now. Sounded like a bunch of gang bangers. Scary
May look into getting him a 5th gen project car. Not so fast as a 4th and they have air bags don't they.

Jerry A 5th gen would make a nice first car for sure. The V6 is dependable and good on gas. It would be a good project because you should be able to find a really good one for 1500 to 2000.

I'm officially beat by my computer, I give up, I can't go any further. I've tried and tried and tried, but I can't try anymore. I'm exhausted from all this, I've hit my all time high level of frustration............................With work sucking and now all this, this has been the worst 2 weeks that I can remember.......

Yep yep and yep. 145k miles and runnin strong I've gotten up to 26mpg for my highest so far. No big after market though But like lou said you should be able to get one cheap.

Chris, technology is our best friend when it works and our worst enemy when it doesn't. I'm frustrate through the roof aswell as i spent the day in my shop fighting with computers. My best suggestion is to just take one of them to a repair shop and get it sorted out.

My biggest concern is security right now, I don't want to do anything online without knowing it's a secured site (paying bills etc.), how do I know if what I'm doing is OK, and since I only use my home pc for the internet mainly would I be better off with an IPAD or something similar. I do not want a smart phone, too expensive right now? Any suggestions.

When a site is secured it'll usually tell you in the address bar up top, instead of HTTP its HTTPS, sometimes it changes color or theres a lock symbol. If you do nothing but web surf the possibilities are endless. You could get a netbook, another laptop or one of the many many tablets on the market.

I don't want another laptop, I'll look into a netbook or some of the other items you listed, and they can connect to the internet through my wireless at home, right? Thanks Keane and all the other members for putting up with me over the last couple days, I'm just sick over all this.....

It's just so frustrating bringing a 200+ lb person (me) to the brink of tears, things I was able to do 2 days ago and now I can't..... I feel as though breaking it would be so much better, but I've managed so far to avoid doing that.
