  1. Well, wish me luck. CPR test. If I don't pass, it's fine. I stay for the class. But then I miss my job interview for a job that, if I am offered, would make my life so much easier.

      Tellin ya Steve, I just went in and told them where the payments absolutely had to be. They got it there and then they were all "Ready to sign?" "Idk. I'm giving up so much like my system, remote start, etc" and then they started offering. Only things I lose from my old car to this car is HID's and tinted tail lights. Combined total of around $500. Then considering you also do the work yourself? I'm sure they'd definitely let you keep your stuff. Just requ...

      £9.99 for the calendar, £5.50 for shipping. £15.49 total. $24.88 in American dough. Damn. I was 12 cents off haha. Don't believe it's worth it, considering no signature or nada.

  4. $23 spent. Then $125 spent then $242 spent. Hmm. What can be on the way? Well, will be on the way once USPS is "open".

      With how they are, I'm sure they'll gladly accept. But yeah man, cat's out of the bag. I guess I'll take your "fiance" as you don't need that cover anymore...

  9. According to a dealership, a h/o alt would be 1/2 the price of stock. Too bad no one makes one for my car.

      I had the same thing with my equinox the day I bought it, stealership did it for me for free lol. Usually all you have to do is let some air out of each tire and refill them in a certain order. Just need a compressor.

    4. WastedTalent

      WastedTalent

      Well it's been like that ever since new rims. They didn't have the right sensor so light came on. They put in the right sensor 2-3 days later and light never went off. Today went back in and they said all sensors are working, all tires are inflated correctly, etc. It's just the computer doesn't recognize the sensors. So they called around finding a cheaper "stealership" and found one for $79. Appt tomorrow at 8 am sharp. Dude is meeting me there and all I do?...

  12. Mechman, DC, Excessive, Singer... Think that's all the "#1 choices" I've emailed to and awaiting answers!!! Next would be Tenney and Ohio Gen.

      I've emailed mech. No response yet. (today is day #3) And as far as drop? I drop like .6 volts, which I think is actually due to computer regulated voltage. I drop without music playing... haha.

      the s4 is a fucking monster, just hope the battery life improved on it, my s3 battery life is shit, or maybe i'm expecting too much out of such a powerful phone

      Depends on how you use it. I think it's HELLA SHORT but I just got rid of a phone that has 0 internet, 0 apps, 0 everything. So, I expected "short" battery life. I've been messing with it and it's alright. I'd definitely keep a charger/spare batt around though.

  14. Time to watch the A-Team, Act of Valor, and probably a few other movies at work. Hopefully keeps me awake.

      I'd take it. I work 40 hrs a week (cept this one obviously) and broke as a joke (even without car audio). I'll even take 1 hr a week overtime. Lol.

  15. How to cite sources on a paper...when you're giving information you know and don't look up? This is why I hate writing papers.

      You can't really cite yourself, if the information you know is actually correct it will have a valid source confirming somewhere. That's how they know the information is right and you didn't just make it up :P

    3. DubNDodge

      DubNDodge

      ^ exactly. I wrote up a research paper on car audio. Even though I knew everything I had to find where my knowledge was backed up. used bcae and this site along with others. It's a pita but it has to be done.

      Well, I must say I'll go with what Dubin says. PITA!! Lol.

      I'm just trying to get her out of here. It's the girl I relieved. We do 24 hour work here and I'm her relief lol. So if it runs for 5 mins then dies, runs for 2 mins then dies, not exactly safe to drive home. I would take her home but... we aren't allowed to leave the place unattended. And considering it's raining, white shirt, ain't gonna attempt to look at anything lol. We lifted the hood and all appeared fine but as anyone knows with ANY type of connection, may look...

      She finally left. Another guy came in and said the same stuff I did. Said the battery is fine. She still insists it's the battery. Lol. But as far as I'm concerned, it's fixed. I'll probably hear more tomorrow.

      Go there and search. You can also call the toll free number. They can put you in touch with someone. Also, use your local vets clubs. Like  American Legion, etc. They also have people to talk to or put you in touch with. Joining the VFW or AL is a good thing. You meet all kinds of people to help.

      And Keith, that's why I continue to be a SMD fan. I know Steve never rushes things (except my order ha!!) but always puts out top of the line quality products. I mean sure, only products I have of his are vm's but his entire product line is top notch. And then customer support? I'd have to say quite honestly, best out of any company. Up there with Verizon (We all know VZ has some tight customer service)

      Of the 70 listed ingredients of the McRib, there is azodicarbonamide. It's a bleaching agent very commonly found in foamed plastics such as gym/yoga mats and soles of shoes.

      Lol. Trust me, I've been checking every day. I saw it last night. Sprint, next Saturday. I can order one now and according to their website "We will try everything we can to get it to you by April 27th". No thanks, I'll go to a store and take my chances they're in stock and get it right then.

  23. Ok so new car has bonus sound system from Pioneer. Sounds decent. Surprising. Getting old system installed this weekend. Is it wrong/bad/something that I'm actually scared? Scared it'll be too loud or something? Haha. The Pioneer does get pretty loud for what it is....
