haha... this HD-DVD is incredible.... the new standard for which HD movies will be judged.
the extras rock, theres a HD-DVD exclusive extra, that is picture in picture bluescreen commentary that syncs with the movie, so you can watch the entire movie on bluescreen with no cgi, like so

So how bout im really fearing for my axles right now... I now hear a clicking from both sides of my car, and the one side does it twice whenever I back up after going forward for a lil bit. They also click when I downshift into third at around 3k to slow down to stop... and yes thats even with rev matching it... occasionally a couple hundred rpms off at the most. I am also afraid of my tires..... I need a new car before this thing starts costing me $
Lol, it is a new car. You think a new car won't have problems either? Especially if you mod it... Seems like your looking or any and all excuses to get a GTO, even though your not even sure yourself if it is what you want. Just wait till you owe less on yours, then when the next gen GM's come, you will be in a better situation. Get a better car, and pay less for it.

Dan, Wes is right. ALL cars are going to cost you money. And the bigger/faster the car, the more money it will cost you when something does go wrong. Give it a few years, trust me, the Balt will get you through the rest of school unscathed and give you a while to save up for the next big car purchase.
I know I want the GTO.. .Im not gonna get the auto, il wait for the one I want to come around, but im also gonna wait a year or two after the camaro comes out to get it, plus I just got a promotion and a raise... And a regular schedule... M-F 9-5 FTMFW. But im not gonna get a gto im not sure about. I just want 18's M6 and no torrid red, I like all the other colors, but I ilke spice red a lil more. But I have a car that works now so im not gonna get into something that I am not gonna be happy with. I just dont feel like putting more money into this before getting rid of it thats all.
BTW, if anyone feels like calling off work on Thursday, few of us will be going to Kennywood.
My cousin is in from out of town and figure it would be something to do. Alicia is coming, and a couple of his friends.

I was going to wait till I had the polished graphics up on it, but here's the website: www.ls3camaro.net
The page header graphics, as well as some of the icons, will change as soon as I get a chance to load a new photo editing program on my crappy laptop since my desktop died last week. But for the most part, that is what the site will look like. Feel free to join.

BTW -- passed inspection, today. No issues w/ the emissions tester. After I passed that, the mechanic and most of the others in the shop noted how high we were all getting on my exhaust fumes. The mechanic just laughed and said, "I dunno how you passed, but good work."
HPT FTW.
Oh, and almost forgot about this. On the way home from getting my inspection, I stopped by Saturn of PH, where I got my car. Just checking in, I guess
Wanted to see if they had any Sky RLs, which they didn't. Then to see how much regular Ion floormats were...only $10 cheaper than the RL ones (@ $80). I passed for now.
Anyway, I parked right out front, and so happened I washed the RL two days ago. Was nice and shiny. Was just talking w/ the parts guy, for awhile, since he remembered me and the car. Was in there like 10 mins.
I go back out to the lot to find, around my car, two salesmen (didn't recognize em, maybe new ones), another one from the Toyota lot, and a guy about my age, maybe a little older, who'd been looking around when I came in. So of course I unlocked the doors, and they all kinda just looked at me.
(Take a guess) One of the Satty salesman asked, first, where I got the body kit, and, second, if it was actually supercharged. I just laughed and gave them the tour. General "whoas." Neither of the salesmen, or the Toyota dude, knew what the car was, really. I had to convince em it was (mostly) stock. Then the one pulled the "oh yeah, I remember that now." Uh huh.
The dude who was shopping asked if they had any on the lot, or nearby. The salesmen said probably, that they could check. I informed everyone they MIGHT be able to locate a few SOMEWHERE in the US, on a lot, but best bet was to go used, since they only made about 6000 or so between 04 - 07. Saturn guys seemed kinda happy I said that.
Then I told the kid that Chevy makes almost the same car, the Balt SS/SC. Kid didn't realize that haha. The Satty salesmen sort of scowled at me.
Then they encouraged me to show em what it could do, on the way out. So I did, I suppose, to their surprise.
I wonder if that kid's picking out the color of his new SS/SC right now

My CV joints have been doing the click for the past 55K miles and with all the Auto-X and driving they get, they've gotten no worse.
I'll have 70K on the car tomorrow.
With the OT I'm getting now I am going to have alot of $$ to pay this pig down

It's just another sound I live with 
I could probably get them replaced, but I'm too lazy. I'm waiting until enough issues creep up. So far I'm up to a sunroof that usually won't slide open, a CD player that won't play CDs...and something else. I can't remember. Oh well, I'm sure it'll make its sound tomorrow.

Well, my sunroof's plastic trim around the button fell off months ago, and sometimes my cd's won't eject....
Axles / CV's click.... clunk from the front end ( most likely the sway bar endlinks.... I'm just letting things go.
