Ha, pleasure to meet another glutton for punishment! Forgot to mention my sunroof leaks if you don’t close it to a specific position but I live in AZ where it never rains so it hasn’t been a problem I’ve felt the need to address. I washed my car in my driveway and a found some water dripping on me when I went to pull…

As a current owner of a 2004 325i, I can’t really recommend purchasing this car as much as I might like to. It’s a great car, fun to drive and decent gas mileage. On the other hand, over my 14 years of ownership (I’m the 2nd owner, 1st was a 2 year lease), I’ve probably put more money into the car than the purchase…

It looks like the entire pillar is disconnected and not just the fabric. Moved from Chicago to Arizona in July and within a month, the fabric from all pillars and headliner were sagging and that was around 110,000 miles. I replaced all the fabric with alcantara for around $1000 a few months later (took it to a shop…

He probably held the unlock button on the key fob which rolls all of the windows down and opens the sunroof. But also totally possible all of the window regulators died... As a current e46 owner, I've only had one go bad in 14 years of ownership but I could just be lucky!

Manuals are really tough to find. Or at least they were when I was looking last year. The guy at the Jag dealership laughed me out of the room. Wonder how many in the list above are manual... but I already pulled the trigger on something else so guess it doesn’t matter for now. Maybe one day!

Sometime in 2008, I was driving from Phoenix to Chicago. Got a late start the first day so stayed in El Peso for the night. The next morning, I was in West Texas on the highway about 2-3 hours outside of El Paso. Speed limit was 80MPH. I was traveling around 90 in a nice looking but couple year old 3 series BMW I had…

When I lived in Tempe, we had homeless people trying to jump in front of cars all the time on Mill ave. Mill Ave is the main “downtown” area of Arizona State University with many bars and restaurants. The homeless people would usually wait until late at night and try to jump in front of your car as you left the area…

I moved here from Arizona and my car had very dark window tint from when I purchased it. They did the same, 1 ticket per day scam, when I first moved here and that accounts for a large chunk of the total ticket cost and they wouldn’t drop those tickets even after I removed the tint. 

Current Chicago resident here. I was out of town over the new year and received 6 tickets (6 days in a row) for not having an up to date city sticker (or maybe registration sticker, I can’t recall offhand). I had ordered it in November and they somehow messed up my address and it didn’t arrive before I went out of…

It'll keep your processor slightly cooler than an air cooler but you're probably better off with an Evo or something cheaper unless your case can't accommodate a large sized air coolers. Either option will allow a decent overclock (I assume that's your purpose but if not, don't waste the money on the liquid cooling).…

For Xbox live? Guess I wouldn't really notice since I have xbox gold and would have it regardless of if I had netflix or not(I have netflix). It definitely used to be this way. But it still is the same for playing games online. If I pay $65 for a game with online multiplayer on xbox one, I should be able to play…

Like most things for Plex, the Xbox functionality will likely require you to have a Plex Pass initially. Chromecast support on Androud initially required the Plex pass but it is now free. Seems they use the Plex pass as a way to gain access to their newest/most useful features but these features normally become free…

That's funny. I also have Avatar 3D and haven't watched it. Never saw it in the theaters but caught it on tv at home in 2D so I have difficulty setting aside the time to re-watch the movie with the added benefit of 3D... I'll have to check out Jurassic Park. Seems like it would be a good fit for 3D from what I can…

Gravity might be the only movie I own where 3D is a must-have. I own other 3d movies but none of those make use of 3D as well as Gravity. Flipped past Gravity on HBO one day and just feels like there's so much missing in 2D...

The sky is yellow and the sun is blue. And not only that but where I live, strangers are stopping strangers just to shake their hands!

I recently updated to 337.88 which specifically states an updated Watch Dogs SLI profile - 2 GTX 670s overclocked substantially, 4.5Ghz i73770k, plenty of memory; can't get a stable frame rate at 1680x1050 no AA. Turned a couple other things off but nothing really seemed to change the experience. Would run and look…

According to the article on Techspot where all of these tests were performed, both SLI and Crossfire do not work for this game currently. I will find out very soon if that is the case (downloading now - 670 SLI which should be about the same performance as the 690). Also on a 16:9 monitor (2560x1440)... but as I said…

I hear your frustration. Not sure why every game performance review defaults to strange resolutions. They should all include 1920x1080 as a standard. There has to be more people using 1920x1080 monitors vs 1920x1200...

Haswell and Broadwell both run on the 1150 socket whereas the 1155 socket was used for Sandybridge and Ivybridge so it's more like "every other" intel processor has a new socket. The switch to the new socket (1150) was necessary because the (haswell/broadwell) processors now includes a few features on-die which were…

Chicago has been the spitting image of Hoth over the last couple months. Now if only I could find a place to stable my tauntaun near the office...
