Weather is looking good for this weekend. I wish I could play some golf, but I'm dealing with an RC tear that might need surgery.
That sounds like a challenge to me

Sorry to hear that man, I have a few friends going through that right now.

So i just spent more money on something that has nothing to do with my car...


Found a awesome deal on a 20inch monitor at Fry's over the weekend, but my laptop doesnt support wide screen....

So instead of returning the monitor i decided to price out a new comp since photoshop and photos were killing my laptop. Well i found this deal on a brand new Dell

http://www.techdealdigger.com/deals/...me-office/8395

Figured id pass along the find if anyone else was in the market for a new comp be it tax return time.

Yea its a beast for the price.

I looked into building a comp from a bare bones system. But after shipping and everything it would have been more than what i paid for the DELL. Plus a bare bones wouldnt have come with a operating system. Best of all...Free Shipping!

That's a pretty good deal. I just bought a new computer from Dell during their "10 deals in 10 days" that ended at the end of March. Got an Inspiron tower, same Intel E5200 dual core proc as that one, 4g ram, 500g HD, DVD ROM and a DVD RW with Vista Home premium, for $366 shipped.

A buddy from work has a friend who works for MS and is getting me Office 2007 Pro for $40.

usually the cheapest online. so 160 is pretty good price. they aren't cheap unless you go for poor fitting aftermarket versions

I Think they were 150$. 160$ is a good price considering no wait on shipping.

Also, Ron Tonkin has a 10% off parts and acces. deal going right now.

Sweet, school ends for me out here June 4th, so I can move up anytime after that.

I was thinking something like June 13th or June 14th for a BBQ. I just have to make sure we have a grill up at our house, hahaha.

Question...

Anyone know a shop or someone that can build me a custom exhaust, mandrel bends, easy to work, quality job... etc..

I've used ed's mufflers, exhaust specialties, and master muffler, but they all do pretty cheap work and don't really put effort into their work....

Thanks...
