Thanks, Larry. My brother's a professional mechanic, and when he looked at it, he just said, "Yep. It's pretty much totaled." So, I had the car hauled off for scrap today. Which wasn't a "total" loss in that I got $200 for the dead weight of the thing. That'll buy me some booze. -- Wa

Re: OT: Just when things were going well...

Thank you, Ecke! I ran a VIN search, and found out there's a flaw in the design of the power steering assist hose on my car -- which stands to reason, as I'd noticed the past few times I'd driven it that there was a slight whine whenever I made a hard turn. http://is.gd/gp67C Apparently,

Thanks, Bob. Apparently it's a defective high pressure power steering hose that caused it. Hard to say for sure, but it certainly looks that way based on what I noticed about the car, and the recall information. -- Walt On 10/28/2010 5:30 PM, Bob W wrote: [...] Lo and behold ... http:/

That presupposes that the existence of said proof would matter. In this case, it doesn't. So, in the end, the moral question is moot, just as the logical one is. -- Walt On 10/29/2010 5:37 PM, Ken Waller wrote: Kenneth Waller http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/kennethwaller - Original

Great read, Boris! Like you, I have zero use for Live View. And, oddly enough, two of the features that really had me sold me on the K-x (aside from the high ISO noise profile) are ones that I've used exactly one time each -- in-camera HDR and video mode. When/if I'm ever finally able to b
