Anyone know what kind of settings and framerate I might expect to see with an i5 2500k and a GTX 560ti? Don’t have the budget to buy parts or build new in the foreseeable future, so I’m curious if getting Fallout 4 will be a waste of time.

Yeah, I scrutinize every gas pump and ATM reader I’ve used, but apparently that’s not enough any more. I’m lucky my bank caught them before they spent too much, and fully reimbursed after I filled out a fraud statement.

I see that now, reinforces my attention span is garbage :P

FYI: I got nailed by a skimmer last month; the newest type of gas pump skimmers are internal and use the pump keypad. There’s no way to tell if the pumps have been compromised (none of stations I regularly used have the seals on the card reader panel), so no way to protect yourself unless you pay inside, as looking…

I could be wrong, but my understanding is that if the car has the trim bits meant to simulate a convertible, it's a landau roof (e.g. most landyachts), otherwise it's a vinyl roof (e.g. the Superbird posted upthread).

I seem to remember reading something a couple years ago about Cadillac corporate asking dealers more or less to 'please do not do this', but as long as people are willing to pay dealers for their poor taste, we will still see such abominations.

It’s a dealer installed option, Cadillac refuses to offer it factory since they’re trying to maintain something like that Art & Science aesthetic.

Maybe an annoying design, but not a design flaw.

If you come live here for a while, you might get a better picture why bike commuting might not catch on as much outside the cities here.

Might be mostly relatives of GM employees, I see a metric buttload in SE Michigan.

The further from the cities, the more vitriolic it seems in my experience.

I don’t know if I would call them an idiot, but they’re sure not fooling anyone. There are people who manage to get by without a car (many get a car/hitch a ride soon as they’re able however), but the ones bragging about it are either lucky or affluent enough to live close to work/somewhere really built up, or have a…

We call it the Detroit Doughnut; the downturn and blight has been moving out into the suburbs (foreclosures+meth+slow recovery) as the innermost neighborhoods in Detroit are beginning to gentrify (hipsters priced out of Manhattan and San Francisco).

I live near Howell, work in Fenton.

In college I had an on-campus job cleaning and doing minor service on the Campus Safety vehicles, two of which were Grand Caravans which mostly idled in the parking lots overnight, and two were police-spec Impalas. All four had been bought new in the same year, but, given enough fast food and coffee, a single…

Bonus points if they’re MACCO-special black with the badges and lettering all painted in pink.

Those Remington deer-heart stickers are on about 2/3 of all trucks in mid-Michigan.

Personally I would have gone for lighting akin to the subdued glow of vacuum tubes to fit in better with the aesthetic. Bright LEDs detract from case mods like this IMO.

They do have a sizable US presence, mostly in metro Detroit.

Ooh, me like.
