MS is very pushy with windows 10

Actually it can be due to software, at Boeing we have tons of custom software, we were stuck on XP for years, got into Win 7 about 5-6 years ago, still have certain apps that don't work with any Office newer than 2007 or IE8....finally going to get past those two limitations in a few months...

Win 10 Install and Upgrade-Preview Future Release 1703. Aka Creators Edition.

Ok, only issue on my laptop was I had to install the "Take Ownership" reg hack and redo security settings on all my folders so I could save files and pics, it would not let me do it before I did that. Just did my desk top today, installed a new Mushkin 250GB SSD and a EVGA SSC 970, installed...

Win 10 Install and Upgrade-Preview Future Release 1703. Aka Creators Edition.

Installed Win10 Home on my 2011 XPS2 Dell Laptop. Had Win7, made sure it was updated, ran the Dell diagnostic and made sure all drivers were up to date. My BR drive has been wonky since the original Dell HD (Toshiba? Really Dell???) died a hard death. So I put and ISO on a USB key, extracted the...

Dell XPS2 Laptop Hard Drive

The crappy Toshiba is came with crapped out last night. Dell XPS 15 (L502X) bought about 20 months ago. (Core i7, GT540M, 1080P LED, Blueray etc) The Dell specs say the interface is Serial ATA-300. Will a SATA 6 notebook HD connect and work fine? Looking at Seagate Hybrid and WD drives and...

Would you buy a 'Vette?

Nah, already own an ex NASA instructor track setup '95 M3 as my DD, and a Z06. No need. 50/50 weight distribution, it is impeccably balanced, incredible brakes, and nice NA power..212K and its still ripping!

Leather seats and kids?

I much prefer leather and only in my 19 yr old M3 have I had cracked leather. In our Minivans and Explorers we always got leather, its super easy to clean compared to cloth and looks a hell of a lot better. Leather can be soft, supple, cool and warm. Have raised 4 Sons (2 now drive). Cloth is...

No, you misunderstand. It's the philosophy of the Company that I disagree with. To put out an awesome track happy car, yet not support the owners (just the opposite) is just plain wrong. They should have looked at their neighbor Mazda....who are happy to see their cars on tracks and put up lots...

And having Mits hunt down your posts in forums and FB etc and voiding your warranty cause you tracked your car. While companies like BMW, Corvette and other encourage you to track your vehicle. I love the Evo's, but I'll never own one due to the antics of the company in the past.

Chrysler announces 2013/2014 RAM 1500 Diesel

In this case its the Aero that will make the difference, the Cherokee is much more Aerodynamic than a Truck, though there are things you can do to improve a Truck. A back half bed cover helps a lot, the spoiling air behind the cab has somewhere to go, the flowing air over the top flows nicely...

They are great cars. I'm old enough that my insurance is cheap. You'll want to change the shifter, it looks like something out of a Truck. I installed a C6 shifter, shorter throw, more comfortable angle, and the Knob looks like it was made for the car. Tinted the windows, added a custom shift...

Can't really complain about the card, but it is two years old. Figure the 650Ti probably has more HP. I'm a bit more of an nVidia fan, though I did have a great AMD card years ago. I like there much quicker driver response more than anything. Or should I just wait for price drops in the months...
