    I recently acquired a 32" LG HD LCD for my bedroom. Along with my PS3, XBOX 360, and HD upconvert DVD player, I decided to streamline my bedroom and get rid of my computer desk and 17" monitor. Instead, I now have my PC directly connected to the 32" and have audio, video, etc. running through it. Let me just say that with this setup, I will never leave my room again.

    Not only that, but I upgraded my Wireless from a tired ass 802.11b setup to a new Belkin Pre-N MIMO setup. With the new setup, I'm getting about 10 mb/s dowload speed. Hello bittorrent.

    Now all you need to do is figure out how you can work on your car from your room and you'll be all set! :)

    I bought it before I had the PS3 and XBOX 360. Not only that, but its the only thing I have a decent remote for. Using Video Game controllers for DVD playback and control is retarded.

    That was taken with my 1.3 mp camera in my Blackberry Pearl. Its absolutely horrible. The 1.3mp in my LG is far better. Its all in the lense.

    I dunno:laugh:

    My buddy has a 300c and he always wants to race me. I see these boats all over and they think they are fast as **** do to the "HEMI". If the engine was such a great design why did it get abandoned for 20+ years? Not saying the design is terrible(but definately not the best), but I just see it as a lame marketing attempt to make some sales by Daimler Chrysler.

    Guess I just dislike the new hemi's

    LOL

    The Hemi design has been around forever.....it never left. Your suby uses a hemispherical combustion chamber design. The hype of HEMI is over seeing as how almost every manufacturer uses it now. It's not special anymore. I however like the fact that Chrysler is going back to the RWD roots, and not being such pansy's with the 99% FWD crap.

    ^+1. almost every engine is "hemi" now. Dodge is gay by claiming their engines are fast4r by naming them "Hemi's", everything else is as well.

    I pretty sure most modern engines. Including the boxer, use a pent-roof design since it can incorporate 3, 4 or 5 valves. Hemi's typically only have 2. Although I may be mistaken, but I don't think so.

    The hemi design has evolved, but all modern designs are reminiscent of the Hemi. The design of having the valves in the head as opposed to the block, like a modern day lawn mower or other simple engine.


    Good read which I took some of my info from:

    Word.

    However! My main problem isn't with the Hemi engine itself. Although I think there are better designs obviously;)

    Its with the people who know nothing other than "HEMI". Most people who say "that thing have a HAMI?!!" Don't even know what makes the thing a hemi. Its just to me, Daimler decided to bring that word back to boost sales. Now almost anyone driving a HEMI powered car, thinks their king of the road. Especially my buddy in his 300c.


    Its just more of a pet peave for me now, thanks to him.:hsugh::) Oh, and my soon to be brother in law can't stop talking about getting the "AWD" 300c either:roll: Soon my car won't mean anything:(



    I need to free up some bills and get a CTS-V, then I can show them!
