Also Subaru ;)

You're a good person in my book. I wouldn't be surprised if there are sales people out there that might have turned around and said we're not taking that deathtrap minivan. Empathy, there's not enough of it in this world.

But look at the safety feature others ignore. This minivan deploys a side flap to help decelerate the vehicle.

Best I can tell that Camry driver speeds up as the truck is getting ready to change lanes. The truck comes into that lane a little, the Camry avoids it and then in a fit of rage, spears the truck.

I did exactly that. That is my lawyer got them to pay that out. It was a separate payment and none of it went towards his fees.

Knock on wood. I'm on my third WRX since 2003 and have yet to get a ticket. Then again I don't usually speed...anymore. Though in the last 11 years I have been stopped twice in small towns for no front plate, but both times I was given a warning.

It's no secret that Dyson makes some of the best vacuums around, and Woot has several different refurb models on sale today.

Free maintenance for 2 years isn't what made me buy my WRX. It's my third one since 2003 and I'd have bought it anyway. If something is wrong with the car during the free maintenance time, well it's all covered by warranty anyway.

I don't know about that Whitson, I got home from work and ABC world news was covering all the new apple products

Great if you travel. You can earn 40,000 bonus points in your first three months. If you use it when you stay at a hotel, you earn 7 bonus points per dollar (Hilton also runs 2x or 3x bonus specials at times, watch for those emails as you need to select the special to get it). You earn 5 bonus points per dollar using…

I would recommend against a 64-bit install of Office unless your developing add-ins for the 64-bit version of Office. You're not going to gain anything by installing it, unless you're someone who has to deal with Excel spreadsheets that are in excess of 2 GB and I doubt there are many that do.

I've been using WMI queries for a while to do imaging work. Copy the following and save it as a batch file to make it easy to determine the make/model/serial number.

Austin is more expensive than it used to be. In 2000 I was paying $695 for a 2 bedroom apartment and now in 2014-15 I'm paying $1245 for a 1 bedroom place. But to be fair the first place was a dump near Rundberg and now I'm living in the high end apartments at Riata in north Austin. It's so nice to not have anyone…

She won me over as soon as she said WRX...Yeah I'm totally biased, I won't hide it.

My 2015 WRX came with that one, but the STi knob shown to me was red. I see your picture is not the new model, we now have faux carbon fiber.

Wait shouldn't that STi knob be red? The WRX one is grey.

What's wrong with streaming music over Bluetooth from your phone? Also on vacation having the phone mounted and using GPS is perfect when you get to hear it over the stereo system.

I do think Virginia's speed laws are absurdly harsh, especially as a native of Texas where 80 mph is an almost universally accepted highway speed by most drivers and where a toll road just outside of Austin lets you go 85 mph. There, this probably would have been a really expensive speeding ticket; maybe even one I…

Hehe, makes me think of this:

Also available on Windows 8.1 as well. Works great if you have a tablet and want to use it to make a few drinks.
