In the continuing search for a vehicle for my brother, what's the deal with early 2000s XTerras, like this one?

I'm noticing Explorers of that vintage are dirt cheap, too. Like, $3k for a clean one with no rust, 4WD and everything supposedly mechanically sound, and 120k miles.

There's a 2008 Ranger right by where I work that I checked out. Only 62k miles, 4WD, supercab, very clean... but a hilariously high $14,500 price.

Sandisk is my go-to for any flash storage. Flash drives, SD, microSD, etc.

I have a class 4 32gb SanDisk in my dashcam (due to reading reports of anything higher than class 4 having issues with this cheap dashcam), and a class 10 16gb SanDisk in my DSLR. Zero complaints with anything from them, and the one in the DSLR is fast enough to keep up with me shooting several 16MP photos in RAW back to back. If I shoot in JPEG I can just hold the shutter button until the card fills up (or the camera battery dies, since the card holds several thousand photos in JPG mode).


That's what I have in my s4, and it's been pretty solid, but I got impatient last night and ordered a samsung 128 before leaving work for the day. I even paid a few bucks extra to get it from amazon as opposed to another seller, so if I have issues, meh.

Thanks man.

I giggled a little when Freiberger was upset that someone called them "too hollywood." Sure, you buy lovely cars and fix em up, but when you have the Hot Rod magazine workshop at your disposal it's hard to feel sorry when things break. My favorite episode is still the one where they went to CTC Auto Ranch and had to get a car to a drag strip in like two days.

Kinda makes up for the ~2 month gap a little bit. Still not gonna pay 7 bucks per month on a single hour of web TV cuz I don't have much interest in the other Motor Trend shows.

Yeah, I love roadkill and everything but you can't really complain about being called "hollywood" when the show you're on is the main sponsor of the race, and just about everything at your disposal is free.

Tech inspector: Realistically, how much did you spend on the car?
Roadkill: We bought the car for $500, sold the engine and tranny for $400, and then spent 30 grand. :v:

My favourite episode is still when they did the el camino engine swap in the summit parking lot.

It'll still be a fine phone for another year or two. Google is giving 6.0 to the nexus 4 so you should still get updates for awhile. I MO it's too big. I don't think there are any car mounts that out fits in and I don't think it'll be too comfortable for it to sit in my pocket while sitting.

It fits fine in my pocket when sitting, but if I'm wearing the right shorts while driving it sometimes falls out based on the angle my leg is at in the mini. Haven't found a mount it fits in.

It's on its way out, but the N5 has been gone for 2 years and is still a viable phone. I tried the Zenfone 2 last month and, spec-for-spec, it seemed to be comparable to the N5... but in person it felt cheap and flimsy. Plus I didn't like the stock Asus OS implementation. I realized I am spoiled by the high-quality, feature-packed Nexus line... but I did like the larger size.

I was going to wait for the N5x/whatever replaces the N6, but with the N5x coming out with only a 5.2" screen and a price point of $400, this N6 deal for $350 is too good to pass up. Google has historically blown out its old models just before the new ones come out.

The new N6 could be interesting, but it's from a manufacturer much less known in the US, plus it's price point will be higher yet than the 5x.

With all of that, I grabbed an N6 from Amazon with delivery tomorrow... unfortunately, I don't have a nano-SIM to plug in. :smith:

There's a SweetFX preset in the OP of the Mad Max thread in Games that makes it look a lot more like Fury Road in terms of visual style, if that's your thing:






Honestly the game looks fantastic as-is, I just really like the hyper vibrant look it has now with the SweetFX stuff. It's glorious at sunset and when you've got a ton of explosions at night.

I personally am still using my N5; I say if I can't swipe across the entire width of my phone with my thumb while holding it, it's too big. That rules out the N6, and in fact the OnePlus One I got for work is too large. I'm waiting to see what the new N5 is going to look like.

You might be able to snag LG g2 or g3 in that price point. I think they're both relatively close to stock Android. If you're comfortable doing it, I think htc m8s are cheap and you can convert it to stock Android. Not exactly for the faint of heart though.

The G3 is way closer to stock than the G2, but if your carrier deployed the Lollipop update they're both pretty similar. The G3 handles the Lollipop version much better, imho.
