Might not be a legit VX. VX came with special alloys and a front lip identical to the Si coupe. (Can't tell if lip is there, though since they are always black.)

Douche Bag Q5, doesn't even check before pulling out.

Good thing there was no car beside me.

You can see the lip in the pic. Not sure what the deal is on the wheels. I'll have to check it out in person.

People do this shit all the time.

Not nearly as bad as the dbags here in midtown running out of starbucks (which actually put up a stop sign just to kind of tell these retards they need to stop before hauling ass into traffic). Had a guy run out into traffic one day, who would have been t-boned had we not changed lanes (and even then he was in our lane a bit), who then decided to run right up on us flashing his brights.

Talk about a guy wanting an ass kicking, should've tboned him given we were in a shitty kia.

I have had it on my primary at-home computer for about 4 months. It was a definite paradigm switch at first, the "metro" interface drove me nuts. After about a week though, I pretty well adopted to it, and its no big deal. Just have to think of it as the "Start Menu" is now a "Start Screen" and the Windows button is your friend.

There is also always the option to revert it to a basic W7 type interface which I know a couple of folks have done.

One thing I would change is I would like the Start Screen to be able to stay full screen if you have multiple monitors. I run 3 on my home rig, and would like one of them to just be the start screen unless I need it for something else. If you click on any of the other monitors though, it closes.

Actually one laptop with no touch screen and another laptop with a dated touch screen (cursor).

I'm already used to Windows 8. But I haven't gotten so in depth with it by running/installing new programs on it and not to sure how well the os will hold up with all the hidden pages, tabs, and or apps. Like I said I'm messing around with it and it performs adequately for home use so far.

My father still has some trouble with 8, but he really wants to adapt to it. I think he's gotten used to it by now. For me, I just picked it up and started going through 8 like I already knew it for years.

And if you find a solution for the multiple monitor set up let me know. I'll do the same if my boss gives me the go ahead here for work.
