I bought a galaxy s3 for the performance, not the aesthetics. I took your advice and went without a case for a few months, then one drunk lady at a party knocked it out of my hands on the pavement, shattering the screen. Got it fixed and put it in a case. Like I said, I didn't buy it to be pretty, I bought it to work…

Upgraded my brand new Vaio to Windows 8 because they offered it for $15 if you bought a windows 7 laptop in a certain timeframe this summer. It was an online download, and it nearly trashed my computer. It was laggy, none of the MS office programs worked, nothing would save, none of the apps worked and it would keep…

"Damn, no service..."

It was probably a fuel pump exploding. New BMW's are known for this issue happening spontaneously. Just usually not this violently and fiery.

If I had to guess a series of events..

Windows 8 has several instagram apps. And there are webapps that have been able to do this for a while now. webstgr.am comes to mind

Anyone else remember the entirely badass Forester 2.5XT 5-speed of two generations ago? I think it was 0-60 in about 5.6 seconds. In a Forester. Then they neutered it in the next generation by only offering a 4-speed auto. Other nations were even lucky enough to have a Forester STI with the same drivetrain as the…

What a pretentious post Sam. Do you expect them to be constantly sleeping or fighting 24/7 with no breaks? And you just wrote an article disparaging Apple for 12 hour work shifts. Some of these guys are in academies, not even in full service yet. What'd you do in college? I assume you studied 24/7 and never took a few…

I take that back. They claim 400 HP, AWD and a sequential automatic. If its a real GTR drivetrain I will take that with my foot proudly in my mouth

The interior is tackier than a 90's strip club, the engine cover was glitterbombed with carnival sparkle paint and worst of all, it has a Pep Boys "SPECIAL EDITION" badge. An automatic no to anyone with any semblance of a soul

The pretty blond girl always dies first. Or the only black person in the movie. But since bimmers always get the bitches, it'll be the girl first

God bless Texas. The things I would do to be the guy driving the V...

I once took a video of a state congresswoman (they have special plates) talking on her cell phone and driving, a few weeks after a law went into effect preventing anyone from using a cell phone while driving in my state. I didn't do anything with it though.

BMW actually went wrong with the 318ti. You see, internally touring models were designated as iT, such as the 540it or 325it. They just didn't at the t at the end, yet it was referred to the XXXit in sales literature and within BMW. Being a hatchback, the 318it should have been technically referred to as the 318tit.…

If this reaches an operable production level, I think the energy efficiency (uses more energy to make gasoline than gasoline contains) wont really matter, as we could use hydrolectric or nuclear power to specifically create gasoline. If electric cars have taught us anything, its not energy efficiency that really…

We've had AT&T for years. We had Cingular for about 5 years before the merger and have been happy. It was the only company that could give us reliable signal at our house. I have LTE all across Bloomington, Indianapolis and Chicago, where I spend most of my time. I love being able to swap out SIM cards, and AT&T has…

My city had too much money, so they installed a curvy, hilly side street with about a dozen roundabouts. Once I started taking that new route instead of the faster highway route, I started to love my commute! Now more homes are being developed along it, so traffic is slowly threatening to ruin my commute again.

When I bought my '97 540i, the first tank of gas I went through averaged 13 MPG! A month later I was averaging 21 MPG. Here's why:

I believe you Beetle calls for 33 psi all around, if it's like my Rabbit. I know the convertibles call for up to 39 psi rear on a full load. 34 psi is not really dangerous, and will likely improve your tire life, MPG and dry handling. Now serious overflation is a huge danger, but not 1-2 psi.

I went to BMW Welt last year (on a high school trip of all things). It is really impressive. We didn't even go in the museum but spent 2 hours in the showroom area with all the new models. I got to sit in a F10 M5 a few days after it was unveiled to magazines, which was awesome from an enthusiast's view. Even though…
