can anyone suggest a good autobody shop in the Santa Monica/Westwood area? (Los Angeles)

Probably not what you want to hear but any shop in the Westwood/Santa Monica area will charge you ridiculous fees for even minor damage. some of the shops near usc will do work for less than 1/2 of what the locals charge. Since you drive and park near UCLA, odds are tat you will have many...

Anyone knowledgeable on HANDGUNS?

With an $800 budget and previous experience with a Ruger 9mm, I would suggest a Glock 26 with pearce ext. Use the money left over for your preference in nite sites, decent holster like sidearmor, extra magazines, more practice ammo. At realistic ccw ranges ~7yards max, the shorter site radius...

Anyone ever been zapped with a tazer?

I've shocked myself with a M18 taser. Yes it hurt like nothing else but I was surprised at how quickly I could recover after the initial shock. Also not a very PC method of self defense these days + illegal in many states. Pepper spray is a better option. One thing to keep in mind is that at...

Damn, didn't get into UCLA!

3.7 GPA, 1410 SAT I, 700/700/700 SAT II scores 3-4 years ago you would have gotten in easily but with todays inflated scores, you're slightly below the norm for the CS engineering major. Probably would have been better off applying to Life Sciences then transfering to Engineering. Either way, I...

Gaming Headphone Reccomendations???

Lan headphones should be closed/earbud style, comfortable, and cheap in case of theft/damage. If you just want a set of closed headphones with decent bass - Sony MDRV6 for $60. In your case since you said that money was no object, look into some quality midrange products that can also function...

how can i paint aluminum glossy gunmetal?

Not sure if it would work on aluminium but your local gun dealer should stock a realtively cheap gun blue dye/paint substance. If you want the real deal, call up a gun refinishing company and ask if they'll accept your box. No experience with this company but they might be able to help you out...

What caliber handgun do you guys recomend for home use?

Before you buy a revolver/shotgun, I would recommend that you go to a range and try out the Glock series. Its a semiauto but 60% of national law enforcement uses them and has top notch reliability. Since you are concerned with stopping power/wall penetration, a good compromise is the Glock...

GeForce2 GTS 32MB DDR or Radeon 32MB DDR?

It depends mostly on your monitor size. 1024 and maybe 1152 is fine on both cards. At higher resolutions the difference is immediately noticeable. OS plays a role too but there are fixes for the problems that both cards have.

Cell Phone Question for any LA Residents

Cingular has good coverage but their system in westwood is always busy. Its fine during the summer but as soon as students come back, the 310 area code numbers become very unreliable. It also depends on the hall but there are very few rooms that get any reception at all. My advice is to buy a...
