IIRC he has a Borla header.

My older sis who I would consider moderately tech savy picked up a new Samsung Laptop with Windows 8. What made windows 8 make sense was the touch screen equipped monitor. Watching how she used her new laptop made so much sense. Similar to an iPhone, the ability to pinch, move, scroll, open, and close windows by just touching monitor may seem gimmicky at first, but on a day to day productively standpoint it makes a lot of sense. An example would be: Just like how one flicks through and reads emails on their iPhone, doing that on your laptop just seemed natural when given the ability.

I'm sold on Windows 8. I'd recommend walking into a best buy and trying out on a touch screen equipped laptop before finalizing your purchase. you may surprise yourself.

Washed my car in the garage due to living in this wonderful Arizona heat. Worked well!

1000% Agreed how ever most of the laptops that are coming with it that a normal consumer level would buy aren't which makes no sense, they need a NON touch UI version. the link i posted earlier suggest they will have that soon

Like I was saying about head units in cars... not everything needs to be touch-screen.

Touch screen head units in a car are horrible, i want physical objects. Better for muscle memory.

Nevermore · 05-13-2013, 07:56 PM

I don't know about you guys, but I like a good old keyboard and mouse.

Believe it does. Had 2 holes for sensors, which we put back in. my friend and I discussed it, and we think it's because the sensor after the headers (where cat should be) is detecting the same as the first sensor.

reset ECU, and she's feeling happy again.

edit: and Psych is the best show. my ex said that Sean reminded her of me. a lot.
