  1. @RobikV3 you can get them in the US. You have to order them, most online retailers have them. Normal carriers don't keep them in stores. I had an SE Xperia Arc S, which was replaced by my current Z3 Compact. The Arc S went through hell and back and works great. Wish I could say the same about the Z3. Specs are way better but build quality is worse. Not sure if the next phone will be a Sony or if I'll go back to Apple. I love Sony's aesthetics.
  2. And give me that 5-series please killalldude, can't say i've ever been a fan of the clown shoe

     

    killalldude[/url] The E39 M5 -- and in that colour too -- is one of my top 10 garage cars! Like Mike though, I was never that fond of the M Coupe.

     

    If either of you are interested in purchasing, let me know! Having to do all the maintenance the past few owners never did sucks. Kind of at a crossroads as to whether I should keep or sell.

     

    A few Italian beauties I saw in Chicago last weekend:

  3. SO Ive yet again met my crush and as usual lacked the balls to ask her out... story of my whole life right there :(

     

    ...Because the "no" you already have by not asking at all.

     

    So, in the end, worse can happen is you stay in almost same position as you are now. Difference is that the "wall of doubt" won't be in your way anymore.

     

    This 100%. Just got to get over the shy-ness wall, which I know is difficult from experience. Just put yourself out there! :)

    Nice colour for the M5, one of the better colour choices for sure, have fun. I keep having a naughty look at E46 M3s and E39 M5s for the occasional blast around the Welsh mountains, but I'd never have any money left running two ageing BMWs at the same time :p

     

    Thanks! Le Mans Blue was one of my top color choices. After owning a black car I swore I'd never own one. They look amazing right after a wash, but show dirt the next day!

     

    I really wanted an E46, but in the future I may need four doors, so I ended up with the E39 :)

  5. Im guessing were talking about the Bimmer? Engine info?

     

    It's an M5 :)

     

    Checked the solenoids and VANOS yet? :cheeky: What else does it need? Looks like it needs/needed a good polish and trim refresh.

    Congrats on your new future classic, man. Good call on the LCI model. Now let's have a toast to many trouble-free miles full of classy German hoonage. :cheers:

     

    Haven't looked into the Vanos yet. Right now the car seems fine mechanically. It needs a bunch of small cosmetic things and a few lights on the dash addressed. Oh and tires. Hoping once everything is fixed it will be a great car!

     

     

    This picture was as soon as I got it back in September, I have washed it since then! Come spring I'll have to see how to restore the black trim, then clay bar and wax :)

  6. All I see here is that we are hypothetically in a worse situation because of our location? :hmmm: Perhaps in the distant future you might be true, but we have absolutely no way of predicting that :p

     

    Just because you can't make a prediction doesn't mean you can't be wary.

     

    You're much more likely to be murdered in the US than in Europe, these are facts published by the UN. If someone is about to shoot me in the face do I care if they're a foreign muslim extremist or an angry disenfranchised citizen? No not at all, that is the last thing I'd care about in that situation.

     

    Andai made this statement already. As I mentioned in my earlier post, it doesn't matter who is doing the shooting, innocent people are still being killed.

     

    I understand those facts are true, and have probably been true since WW2. But are you telling me that people who live in Europe aren't worried about future attacks?

     

    I think my first post came off as too black and white. But since the conversation has started, I'm rolling with it. Safety is a concern, but it isn't the primary reason why I'm choosing to stay in the US over moving to Germany. Right now, I'd rather stay in the States since I'd have to go searching for a needle in a haystack to find a similar career in Europe, most likely with less opportunity for advancement.

  7. Says someone from the country with more mass shootings than all of Europe combined? :cheeky:

     

    This is true. But the (more recent) mass shootings here are by stupid/psycho Americans themselves, not people from abroad. I suppose it doesn't make a difference since innocent people are dying either way. Geographically, Europe is closer to parts of the world in turmoil now, and because of its location, it's an easier target. Since our world sucks, I wouldn't be surprised if such incidents increase in the future.

  8. ...but seriously, who would go to Aston Martin and get a Rapide over this? They need to immediately stop selling that thing as it's embarrassing.

     

    The type of person who doesn't care about being .498662 of a second faster to 60.

     

    This new Panamera does look better than the older one, but the Rapide is just gorgeous. Who would take a 4,500 lb sedan to the track? If you can afford a Rapide, it's probably your 3rd or 4th car in the stable and not being used to double as your sports car and family car.

     

    The Panamera is for someone who cares more about performance than style, or can't have both a sedan and sports car for whatever reason.

  9. I'd wait for a whole system overhaul. The processors (assuming you're only interested in intel) are pretty much the same as they were a few years ago as far as gaming performance concerned. You're much better off upgrading the GPU first then perhaps the system at a later stage. That's what I'm going to do anyway, damn 1070s running out of stock constantly though.

     

    Really? There was so much hype for Skylake, I figured it was far better than the generation it replaced.

     

    I plan on keeping this first gen i7 for a little longer and just upgrade the GPU. I'm overdue for a new graphics card. I just have a bad feeling that by the time the 1070's are closer to their MSRP, AMD will be just around the corner with an update on it's Vega graphics cards.

     

    It's funny thinking back, just under a month ago I was about to buy a GTX 970. Glad I waited.

  10. So, anyone know where to get a 1070 without markup? :lol:

     

    I've since overclocked my i7 920 to 4.0 GHz and everything is running fine. CPU usage for GTA:V seems to jump between 40-80%, latter usually when loading cutscenes or spawning in new locations. Normal gameplay is generally around 40-60%.
