Yup, $100/month here to. Totally worth it. Though, honestly I'd pay a reasonable price for the content I do watch, but I'm tired of supporting things like the french channels and the aboriginal peoples network, and so many other crap channels I've never even turned on.

The funny thing is, netflix is making some of the most highly rated shows going, by both the fans and the critiques. And that's on $8 a month for a crap ton of content. I wonder what HBO could do with $4 a month for a 100th of the content. I'd happily pay it. Blockbuster went under because of netflix, and they turned down the chance to buy them. I'd bet that netflix would have jumped at the chance to provide the on-demand content for cable providers, but the cable providers thought they could do better. Now netflix is very quietly taking on the new programming segment. It's time for the TV industry to move into this century. Cable providers are loosing customers everyday and most of those customers would happily pay a reasonable price if that was an option. They're either going to have to swallow their pride and change, or die. It's only a matter of time.

That's what really got me wanting to get rid of it. I was looking for something to watch and there was AN ENTIRE CHANNEL dedicated to that idiot David Blaine. I said to myself "I'm paying for that shit?" I also wouldn't mind paying a fair price for what I do watch, but it's getting ridiculous. And it seems like every month I get an e-mail about some channels they are dropping from my cable package. So price goes up, number of available channels goes down. Yea...that makes sense.

So I think it was somewhere on the forum I saw someone say friends don't let friends buy Motegi wheels. But I've found a set they make that might be a contender and I'm curious why someone said that.

Tried to get rebadge the car today. Got the frs off fine, but as I was doing the back Scion I made a scratch...granted its small, I'm still a little pissed. Guess I'll just pay to have someone do it right.

That sucks. A little touch up paint can fix that or maybe the badge can cover it.

Can you feel the scratch?? It could be just on clearcoat. If so I can fix that
