Ya they will blame my additional wiring and my aftermarket head unit. And plus they take way to long sometimes and will exactly what I'm gonna do which is simply trace the wiring and fix any exposures and I will be putting wire loom around any parts that are around the metal braces. Which should have been done from factory imho

wow...

was that monday night by chance?

it was freaking brutal yesterday morning...
not that it was a huge improvement today, but it sure seemed worse yesterday...

I truly hate the cold;
my most predominant coping mechanism, is to ignore the forcast ect when I know it to be brutal... and to avoid being outside at all costs...
anyone know a good deal on an xbox360? - I spent a couple hours playing fable iii on saturday, and wouldn't mid having that at home...

any of the new ones are a good deal as you can pick them up for $200 i know ebgames and gamestop have pre-owned ones for $150 but to me you might as well spend the extra $50 and get a new one that shouldn't crap out on ya as they fixed alot of the bugs that were apparent with the older systems such as mine

You know, I didn't even think of mentioning it here ~ I've been hearing the adds on QR77 all week....
Sorry if I let any of you guys down!

I don't know what stations they're letting you get (you don't get them all), but see if you can get #39 ~ "Pearl Jam Radio";
anything to do with Pearl Jam; side projects, live stuff, b-sides... pretty good imho

it's a promotion being advertised for cars equipped with XM - so I'm not sure if it includes unsubscribed XM-compatible receivers of all kinds... btu that would make sense...

Although I had no plans to , I originally subscribed because I've grown to hate CRTC legislated programming...
and like many talk (ect) programs that are otherwise USA-only...
psst, lok at hte sirius or XM "USA" sites - they have different subscriptions than us... just saying...
