This was on the new XF, it was a preproduction car. I expect the ones we get will be much better because I never have trouble with the VRS we install now.

March 10th is the on sale date but we may have them earlier. It is a very cool car, It looks better in person.

Sometimes it's convenience versus price. I ordered the struts last night so I'm saving about $300 bucks there. To install them is going to run me $500.00 in labor charges but it will be done in one day. To do it at the hobby shop or in my driveway is going to take a week due to work schedules so I would be without a car. Right now I'm leaning to doing it at work since I need the car. So I'll be out $500 instead of a couple but I will have my car the same day. Also since my son's Prelude was in an accident yesterday he's going to be without a car. I took it in to get the estimate and I know the shop's manager and as soon as he saw it he told me to leave there that it was undriveable. They still have to look under the hood to see what other damage was done to it. Hopefully the insurance co will give my son a rental today.

You shouldn't be on the cell phone and driving. Get you a Bluetooth phone and aftermarket stereo system with it. Works like a charm.

I do have the bluetooth. Can't drive a 5-speed stick-shift without one. And the Samsung WEP 410 bluetooth is voice activated in conjunction with my Nokia smart cell phone.

"...Tools are to some degree the difference between the pro and the DIY..."
I've got a hammer and duct tape. Any job that needs more ain't worth doing.

thought of you this week (don't worry, nothing kinky!)
For 3 days, I parked (in NJ) next to an Audi A4, with Virginia plates, and a checkered flag plate surround. Must be a visitor from our Chesapeake office.

Ct. question. A friend is about to relo from Des Moines, IA to take a job in Hartford. They want a place that is somewhat country, possibly with some land to do small scale farming (large scale gardening?)
What towns or areas would you recommend that aren't too far out of downtown (wherever the Hartford ins. offices are), and not crazy expensive? No kids, so schools aren't the big concern.
Since you just bought a house and all.
For the hosts, The Hubby is going to be needing a new car soon, how far from hartford are you, and will you give them a nice, welcome to Ct. deal?
