Re: [MBZ] tonight on fox soccer NOW Windows Vista installation

I've installed Vista Business on a desktop and an HP tc4400 tablet with no issues and very little effort. I always do a format and clean installation, never upgrade. It's new, so is fun to play with. There are some neat features, but nothing that I'd pay for. The biggest advance in Vista in my

We need it for those three days in June when the thermometer hits 90* and maybe once or twice in July. It is really that winter sun that kills us. Need to have tint to keep glare down with that sun so low on the horizon. I suspect that few drivers suffer much with being at work during

[MBZ] MB used by Terrorist

Some comments about the terrorists using MB for bombs - some mentioned 5th Gear buying a MB for ~ $1000 to destroy - and it was mentioned older (but not real old) MBs are cheap - I don't understand this - unless it's because of the UKs RH drive? In the US even W123s and 124s are not what I

Re: [MBZ] Car comparo

The older models inspire you to drive with confidence. There are a bunch of idiots out there who are still paying for their cars and have no idea how to drive. I know that any encounter I have with them, Gump will mess up her paint, but they will have severe body damage and a huge bill.

Re: [MBZ] MB used by Terrorist

Ah, but a silver W124 is almost invisible. Old enough to avoid notice, in good shape so no one suspects it's somewhere where it doesn't belong, and the color is not noticable. If the engine or tranny is in bad shape, they aren't horrible expensive because no one wants to spend a big pile of
