Yea...not that I can find. It takes $110 to find the first tablet on there with a brand I've seen before.

sorry I meant Tiger Direct.

Also, look on XDA Developers in the Member Found Deals section. There is always a great deal in there on something. A lot of members RAVE about the Ainol tablets, FOR THE MONEY. Sure, they aren't Samsung or Asus quality but "seem" to be pretty well proven for the price point. Check out the Ainol Novo Crystal. http://www.ainol-novo.com/

Thank you sir...btw I have an update just for you, will be posting it up in a few 
with the cabin gutted, the sound does resonate a little....any louder and the wifey will quit sitting in my car (but isnt that the whole idea?
)
Thanks Jeremy....
I do have some rasp at 3500 rpm, after that, its just loud LOL....
on the 4th, I had the wifey record a video while I was revving it, when we saw the video on the computer, she was like "we need a battery camera, this does not record the aggressive tone of the exhaust"
you know, I have never been so proud of her LOL

Here is an update....recently I have been driving between Chicago and KC. Round trip of ~1100 miles + city driving in Chicago....
I have never loved the car more....@75-80mph the exhaust just quietens up, amazing to cruise, the new tires are AMAZING....The Re970AS are pretty much as good as it gets...Amazing dry grip, fantastic wet traction and hydroplaning.....well what hydroplaning
Chicago weather on the other hand is as shitty as it can be....the roads are WORSE !!! Every 20ft there is a little bump which stretches across the damn road, no escaping it....the first trip I made, the ISC N1's were set at 30R and 26F (with 32 being the stiffest setting)....When we drove this morning, I set her down to 16F and 16R and the ride was a ton more comfortable....
I have been constantly seeing 29-30MPG on the highway...with the AC on and going ~75-80mph....if i would slow down to 70, I might see some increase....
So all in all, am a happy camper...now what put a bigger smile on my face?
THIS...cant believe this motor has 175,000 miles....looks brand spanking new on the inside....
a little zoomed in
There was no sludge and no signs of MAJOR wear on the rockers...
I went ahead and installed these:
Bought the setup from Bert, and am thinking of selling it already....might post it on the BM in a couple days....
Done, done and Done
I should have taken full engine bay pics.....but I did end up taking some shots of the car:
She was clean but still, I went ahead and hit the full car with Griots Speed Shine....I have started to like this stuff....Also washed the wifeys car and hit that up with some Griots Spray Wax....
The driver side fog light is a little out of line coz the big filter keeps pushing on it....I didnt have time to fiddle with it plus I might have a fog light update in the very near future
EDIT: I had run out of Never Dull, and hence the exhaust tips werent as SHINY....i might or might not have put a layer of carnuba wax on the car before leaving for Chicago (just to protect the paint a little bit more)...

Thanks Jeremy....just learning....I see all the images by you, Tyler(s), Eric and PIC from John (:teef) and trying to set in the angles and click multiple images, pick and choose, on most of the images I did not even have to edit the brightness/etc....on a few which were overexposed, I had to "auto fix" them....
and all the pix are from the wifey's S4....its amazing how far along cell phone cameras have come....
about the gasket, it an easy job....since you are going to be replacing the valve cover gasket, might as well, replace the gasket which goes from the runners to manifold and manifold to TB....and clean the full intake track and EGR port
buddy that makes the 2 of us
Recently I used the Wolfgangs Paint Polish Enhancer (courtesy Steven Bell )....Loved it...it was easy to go on and easy to come off....
the pros were, it cleaned the paint up very well....the CONS, the swirls became kinda visible....
I have not hit the car with a random orbital in a while....Last i think I did a full detail was last year....I do not like to use the random orbital often...
Over the weekend I used a product and the difference in swirls was night and day....I will be posting a review once I have the pix uploaded

The swirls were MORE obvious? Normally after applying it I feel like it's less...maybe because the pearl is so much more obvious, or you're looking for it after an application of it to see how pretty the reflection is. Kinda like, out of sight, out of mind.
True that, I did get pretty deep in there when I put the thermal gasket under, that's a good idea, I do whatever maintenance possible when I do that since a lot of stuff is out of the way.

^^^ on both counts...
I love to club the maintenance as well....
and yes....not sure what happened, but the damn swirls popped out like it was Christmas...in the shade the car looked awesome, the paint felt awesome, but the minute I was out in the sun, I saw swirls which I had never seen before....I did try to blame the microfiber but it was a brand new microfiber

Dude, a long duration cam would compliment this car quite well. Now that the exhaust has been repurposed and you have the whole 'nightmare' theme going on. It just seems like the sort of car that you would pull up behind at a red light and EXPECT to hear a chopey idle.
It's like seeing Freddy Kruger with Mr Rogers personality. All he uses his knives for is cutting coupons out of newspapers and preparing vegetables for dinner.
Cam the engine Anil....it is time.
