it's still cheaper than purchasing the car.
Figure
5000 + TTL + Whatever else tax, it should be no more than 10k total.

On the Z4, note the potential implications of the details mzkhadir pointed out. You could pay $5000 plus sales tax on $42,500 plus luxury tax, title, and license and then at income tax time pay state and federal income tax on the difference between $42,500 and $5000 (that difference is income to you). And your income tax bracket will go up unless you're so rich that you don't need this deal anyway. If you sell it I don' t know off the top of my head if you'd pay capital gains but its something to be checked on. Still a good price but in the long run its a hefty chunk of change, not just $5k that you'll slap on a credit card.

Amex clock is the same as the system clock. When is the actual 12, 4 and 9pm? Who know what time they have. Good luck.

I was using two different machines and clicking madly from about 11:59:55. No luck of course. Funny thing was I noticed that the browsers in both my machines had two different times (about a minute or so apart). The time difference persists even after refreshing both browsers. I presume that they have a web server farm and each server is using it's internal clock. Their clocks are probably not synchronised - so it must be a matter of luck as to who gets the earlier clock. Either way it seems to be a waste of time...

Duh, I know that. Check the sync of both of them. My point is, how is their clock set. The one in the browser is set based on your computer.

The way the timer works (AFAIK) is it starts up from http://www.mylifemycard.com/mod-perl/ettime.pl
Then its loaded into a flash application where mins/secs tick off...flash can loose seconds though and the framerate on the movie isn't "perfect" so if you leave it sitting for a while the time can be off by a few seconds/mins.
When you click the i want it it triggers the http://apps.mylifemycard.com/mod-perl/inventory.pl script whcih tells if there is a item availible or not if there is then u get a resulting url fro that to go to which loads up yet another swf with the entry system. all in all not too complicated but seems like it might get bogged with a lot of users producing a lot of error codes depending on how those perl scripts are written.

dman, i was clicking madly on 2 comptuers, puasing only when getting the message "checking for aviability" came up, and didn't get it. I did get one computer that said the online capacity of the store was maxed out and asked me to try again later.... one more shot tonight
