    Hey....quit giving the camera the credit! Without me it does nothing. My cameras aren't on full auto. Quite the opposite: full manual. I could've taken that pic with any camera as long as I had full control over it and not the camera's computer.

    Hah no its actually a little bigger than my current place. Edit: Oh wait...thats not true. Hah I have 50 less square feet

    Right. Hah...slightly new problem now. My furniture was delivered today and, boy, it didn't look this big in the store... Not really sure what will go where and how. I wasn't planning on wall mounting the TV, but I might have to now.
  5. That's not good "clothing optional" weather.
  6. The one I hit last year was so big I had to go back to make sure I hadn't hit someone's dog.
  7. Basically. They budget for this kind of thing and have excellent insurance.
  8. All the "S" models have that. I was so-so on it before I actually put eyes on it. Once I saw it in person, it's actually a pretty good look.

    *shrug* The fast motion stuff seems pretty good on the newest products in the store right now. Maybe you're thinking of the LCDs with the 60Hz refresh rate? 120Hz seems to do a pretty nice job. The thing about the blacks is still true though...but getting better. I didn't notice anything with the reds.
  10. This guy: (Senor Wolfenstein @ the wheel) ...has now had its lower left fascia mangled by a raccoon strike at 70mph by the people who got it after I did. I know how he feels...the exact same thing happened to me with an R32 last year. Damn near happened with the CC. Apparently I have a thing with VW's and raccoons.

    It seems like those aren't really issues anymore with the good LCDs. As far as I can tell from looking at them in the store anyway.

    Yea maybe the best move is to wait for the LEDs to be refined some...and hopefully drop in price.

    Haha yea I'd had that thought as well. Well...not the porn part. Who still watches porn on their TV?

    Yea I saw that review on amazon. I dunno, most people seem to love it and the LED def has a better picture (in the store anyway.)

    So I was all set to go buy a nice LCD flat screen this week. I figured I would get one of the Bravias or this Samsung: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?sk...d=1218076081627 I walk into Best Buy and Samsung's new LED TV was there: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?sk...d=1218065985439 Man its incredible. Hanging next to the LCD's, it's pretty easy to see how much better the LED is. Originally I was thinking I'd spend about as much as the Samsung LCD is. Heh, but how can I not get the superior LED product? Anyone have an uncle who works at Best Buy? Anyone know a reason I shouldn't get the LED? Other than the fact that Im sure they will be hundreds less this time next year.

    My A5's tires are rated for 186mph.
  19. Chris_Doane replied to Chris_Doane's post in a topic in The Lounge
    Wasn't talking about the A5. The A5 is limited to 130. When you hit 130 in the A5, you aren't even halfway through 5th gear. A simple ECU reflash to remove the limiter and Im sure 150-160 would be doable. It has a 180mph speedometer.
  20. Chris_Doane replied to Chris_Doane's post in a topic in The Lounge
    It holds the road nicely at 147mph too..

    Which is weird because, so far, my experience with the Audi dealer network is the best I've ever had by a mile. Instead of looking for reasons NOT to help me...they looked for ways *to* help me. Imagine that. Not sure why VW can't just approach it like Audi.

    I started out thinking I'd order a TT. Then the A5 came out and I decided to get that instead.

    Yea that was a big part of it for me...twas my first cool car.
