What kinda price did you pay tho?? I got a buddy who installs for them and he even admits the tvs are a bit overpriced compared to Best buy or Circuit city..
I go with whats best for me in my pocket, not a high named place with good products. As long as i get a good set with good pricing.. thats what i get.
1700 bucks for a 46" DLP Toshiba was a sweet deal and i got it at best buy with a 287 stand for 200 bucks. Not including the cables i got on discount and also my HD DVD player for 10 bucks off... cant complain!!

Never been harassed with it off.
Nez- I can finally get your tune in perfect with my new little toy coming, I can't wait ,myself because I keep hitting a P0171 code at idle (too lean), my trims are way out of wack but trying to still do it by ear, getting better.
everyone- anyone want to get together sometime soon? Nobody has come out of their caves in a while. This weekend is always a possibility. I might unveil the sort of new *****.

Amazingly not. A few days ago on the way to work I stopped at my usual gas station on Sunnyslope and Cleveland and saw a marked squad pull through (last time they did this I got my wing ticket 1.5 years ago). It was probably the same ***** cop and I saw him go up Cleveland towards Moorland. So I went a different route (shorter) to work that day. No ticket.
I don't like bashing cops because my dad is a retired cop from Milwaukee, but these NB boys are something else. Seriously they don't have anything to do here, nothing happens unless I do it, or my neighbors call the cops on me for some stupid reason (I think the wife died, damn) I really didn't put the dead squirrel carcass there honestly, or the brass nail in the tree, or the 15+ quarts of tranny fluid in their bushes... it wasn't me. I can't wait till they croak.
But what i found out lately if you drive normal and not make any sudden type of acceleration, or jerky movements with the car they will hardly notice you, unless they hear you. I have been followed numerous times to work by these kids, they might have seen my record and probably thought "Huh, is it worth making a 2 hour complait report?" "Ah screw it let him go" LOL
Then there is Milwaukee finest, never had a problem. My last name is pretty well known so I usually get " Hey, I know your dad... well take it easy"

Number one reason why I don't drive on Calhoun, it's a friggin gauntlet. I work/ live in New Berlin
