Some of them are new to me, though. I didn't think it was worthy of its own thread.

Chevrolet: Can Hear Every Valve Rap On Long Extended Trips
NO KIDDING!

I wonder if the chattering valvetrain is an just an LS1 thing, or an LS family thing. Guess I'll find out as these fifth gens start to get some miles on them.

For me it depends on the company and the environment. For me, some of the best fishing I've ever done was off the beach in Mexico with my brother. We went through a case of Corona and didn't catch a damn thing!

Writing a speech on the Volt.

Take a look at the tabs on my browser.



Looks like GM Media's helping me get an A this week.

I like it so far. To be honest, I'd rather have another Dell, but I needed a computer at the time and Apple was the only manufacturer who could build a laptop to my specs at the store.

The only real problem I had with it was the price. Cost way too much IMO. Granted, the build quality and materials is much, much better than both Dells I've owned, but it still hurt my wallet.

You can get MS Office for Mac. It's available software that you can pick up at your Apple Store. I found a way around it by purchasing Windows 7 Professional from my university and installing it on my MacBook Pro using Boot Camp and installing a copy of Office I already had. As you can see from my dock, I also have iWork installed, which works fine, but it's not MS Office.

Well I know they are much more expensive but I get sick of having to buy a new one every 2-3 years. And as for the office thing I would NEED to have that and have the files be able to be opened up by nonMAC computers. Haven't really checked too much into them yet. I was just hoping the extra cost/workmanship would give me a better computer that will last a good 5 years without needing a bunch of upgrades just to run the next OS.
