These goofy cars seem awesome. Did you get a CVT? That's my only worry.

I did. You can't get all the extra safety features on a manual, which was what had me turn the corner away from a manual for the first time in probably 20 years. It has a manual mode and paddles, but I don't know how that is yet. I haven't tried it in the couple of days since I picked it up from the dealer.

Edit for new page. I guess I technically bought a license plate this morning,

I rip through my socks every couple months and it sucks. I bought some Darn Tough socks but they are too thick. I like mine to be really thin. Does anyone make thin and tough socks? I walk a lot.

Also curious which Darn Toughs you got. Their cushioned stuff is obviously pretty thick, I have a couple pairs I wear with boots, but the stuff in their Lifestyle section that says Light (not Cushioned Light) should be fine. I have like 9 pairs of their Warlock and they're thinner than most plain white athletic socks. Also have a couple pairs of their no-show ultra lights from the Running section of their site and they're even thinner.

Adidas Superlite. They are light and flexible, but they get holes after a few months.

Waiting on this to be delivered today to replace my stock platter drive in my PS4.



I swapped for a 1TB platter drive, just be ready to spend ~1.5 hours/100GB of stuff currently on your drive for the backup, and about the same amount of time for the restore. I just deleted Drive Club and a couple of other hogs to get it down to ~300GB and it was less painful than the 6 hour failure before I deleted everything (bad external).

When I was car shopping in January, I asked my friends who had cars with sunroofs and they said it wasn't worth the trouble of looking for one.

Did they lie to me???

One friend of mine found out after his first that it's a must-have feature for him, but sometimes they end up noisy or leaky and plenty of people go the other way and decide it's a never-need feature. The TC with panoramic sunroof is pretty tight compared to his old Saturn CL2 with it's placemat-sized hole, though to be fair that car was also tiny.

I had a hard time trying to find the Jeep I wanted with one. It was one of the main features I wanted and the lack of SUVs in general without them shocked me. When I went to Enterprise to drive/buy I mentioned it and the sales person said "Oh we can send out any car to our aftermarket people to add almost any feature" and it sold me.

Of course I picked the time when it is suppose to rain for the next week. I'll found out if it leaks at least.

Does that have the same kind of effect on game loading times as it does on everything on a pc? I assume disc based games would still be slow, but I really don't know how much data gets transferred to the drive when you play a game.

It *seems* to? I mean, I would think going from 5400RPM platter to an 850EVO SSD has an impact. I don't know how much is bias, but I'm doing a replay of Dragons Age: Inquisition and I think it's loading faster.

I wouldn't know about disc based games, since I just buy digital versions of everything.

It actually went pretty quickly for me. I had a 500GB T1 portable SSD to do the backup (about 390 GB) and it took about 2 hours to back up, I also slapped the 4.55 install on that drive. Including initializing and installing 4.55, the full restore took about 2 hours. The only thing I had to do when I was done was log into PS Network and re-pair the PDP Media Remote.

This reminded me that I need to buy a new one myself. Mine hasn't died completely, but it's been making a hell of a racket for a while and should probably get replaced.

Does the warranty cover damage done by a failed one? It's been 10 years since I've bought computer stuff but I've seen how expensive PSU failure can be.

That would depend entirely on your manufacturer. I know EVGA has a really, really good warranty on all their stuff.

The zipper on the large outer pocket of my suitcase broke off completely so the pocket just flaps open now. I used this as an excuse to upgrade to a much nicer suitcase that has a lifetime guarantee, including airline damage. I fly about every other week or so, so this was much needed.

Haha, yeah, I've been hesitant to spend the money on one, but I use a suitcase every week and fly probably every other week so when my zipper finally broke while my bag was checked and it came to baggage claim wrapped in TSA packing tape, that was my sign to go right for Briggs and Riley. I went and checked one out at a luggage store in the airport and really liked it. So I went and ordered it.
