The picture is 800x384 so that would make each quadrant 400 x 192.

You're paying the dealer - why shouldn't they take a few minutes per week to give you an update?

Yes

And now all the people who griped about them not being available will claim credit for "forcing" Ford to start offering them.......

Do you have anything else on the keychain that might be interfering with the radio signal?

Google maps shows the city as Lutherville-Timonium, MD. Don't blame Ford - blame either the map makers or whoever gave you the pikesville address. Edit: the website also shows the city as Lutherville, not Pikesville.

I understand exactly what Dyno testing is for - it's to ensure a level playing field between the makes. IMO it totally flies in the face of fair racing. If one team finds an advantage legally then they change the rules to keep it fair. That's not racing - it's entertainment. So I don't give a rats behind about dyno testing. Isn't the goal of racing to improve your vehicle within the rules so you're better than everyone else? If you do that in NASCAR they change the rules. That's not racing.

Not in GA. We only have one regulated supplier. There is only one set of wires regardless of who you send money to every month. They did this with gas here in GA and it totally sucks - having to search and switch constantly to get the best rate when one supplier owns all the infrastructure. I much prefer a single regulated utility supplier.

Dyno testing only shows the difference between vehicles. It doesn't show you whether they are cheating to achieve that or not. NASCAR used that to determine rule changes to keep a level playing field. The only way to see if someone is cheating is to tear down the engine and inspect it along with the rest of the car.

FTFY

At one time they had 1500 bugs. The fact that even Microsoft hasn't been able to fix all of the bugs yet tells you just how bad Bsquare butchered it. I expect the next version to be light years better.

It wasn't Toyota - it was Gibbs Racing. They obviously found an advantage. Whether it was legal or not remains to be seen. You can bet that Kenseth's engine will be torn down and checked and maybe the other two as well after their previous transgressions. The dyno won't tell you anything because it could be perfectly legal. Not that this has anything whatsoever to do with Toyota or Ford Motor Company.

I have never heard anything bad about paintless dent repair. You're either thinking of someone else or someone did it totally wrong. I'm talking about a pro who uses tools to pop the dent out from behind, not the DIY stuf.

We definitely discussed it - with the usual results.

Paintless dent repair.

If it wasn't then it would be an ATA (Actual Time of Arrival)

Profits are up (probably due to the Yen) and they seem content to coast along with minimal investment. Sounds a lot like Detroit a couple decades ago. It's already starting to hurt Camry sales.

He has access to the same info as cyberdman. Or somebody at the dealership does if not the salesperson.

No I don't! Wait - I just did! No I didn't!

Overall I'd give it a B. The system in my 2000 Lincoln LS (audiophile - not THX) had tighter bass but the Sony has better highs and midrange probably due to the tweeter location.

There you go killing all the conspiracy theories about us being the same person........

Yeah, right.

My wife would probably do that. She says the theater is "too loud" which is silly because it's not any louder than the actual movie theater but that's ok. I actually have better sound in my theater because it's so much smaller and more focused, especially with the new Blu-Ray audio formats.

Yep and I don't want my friends pointing out the nuances because once I did hear them it would probably bug me. You can put together a super nice system for $1500 with a low end Denon receiver and a set of small PSB speakers and sub that will blow away most higher end ($2k-$3K) systems including Bose (better sound through marketing). I have an audiophile friend who spent $100 getting 2 speaker wires reterminated and he uses ceramic Y things to hold the speaker wire off the carpet so it doesn't pick up static electricity. Then again he also sits in one chair in exactly the same spot between the speakers. Anybody who spends less than me is unworthy and anyone who spends more is an idiot. Isn't that how it works?

This is SO subjective that you can't really rely on others - you need to listen for yourself.
