I like these cars quite a bit. It's almost a hoot to drive, but something makes it fall short. If the car was just a little lighter? Maybe it's something about the suspension. 227hp just isn't enough for me. I'd think "R" would be more than cosmetics.

Being nice at the counter will get you a long way. Don't be a jerk.

Yep, that's how we pitted cherries growing up. Man, we canned a ZILLION cherries. We never had to re-bend them into a "square S"...

I used to do this. It works pretty well.

It's kind of nice. I was playing with it a little last night.

As for other rewards cards, always take the cash. Giftcards are cute, but they usually cost more in rewards than the face value.

This improves gmail on the iPhone quite a bit, however, I still have problems with the semi-imap support that the iphone has.

@holymogwai: I agree. Remind Steve Jobs of that, please (stupid iPhone). I really wish something like this would be available as a stand alone app - I'd feel MUCH better with all my data as MY data.

My next car will be a 2 door coupe of some type. This would be it. As it stands, if you could take off a 1000lbs from the Vovlo C30, it would be it.

I really only do about 15 minutes of real work each week. I'm almost serious. I could work 100x faster and do a better job at it if there was some incentive.

The things people will do. Too bad manufacturers are so stuck on holding back features in hopes to get people to buy more expensive versions. Cripple-ware sucks.
