Evo didn't happen this weekend... Carfax shows it to have been a total loss (though maintaining a clear title). Owner is working on getting to the bottom of it...

And yes, Kelly, Evos in Seattle all come with those aerodynamic bumps on them.

Android FTW! I've purchased one Apple product in my life, and it will be my only.

I've had a complete different experience with Apple products than you have, Jose... Between my wife, kids, and I we've owned one iPad (a 2), five iPhones, seven iPods, four computers (one desktop, three laptops), one monitor, and several pieces of networking gear. The only piece we ever had problems with was my original MBP 17". The logic board went out when the machine was about two months out of warranty (the extended one); Apple took care of it without question.

I also own an Andriod tablet (a Jetstream), that I really did enjoy. It arrived on the same day my iPad 2 did. I didn't use the iPad 2 for the first month I owned it, but once I started using it, almost never used the Jetstream, and ended up giving it to my father who was looking for a tablet.

I am getting a replacement today, hopefully it will be better.

I had one iPod Nano (the old version) die on me for no reason. But my original iPod, the new Nano, both iPads and my iPhone have had no issues. I use my original iPod for my car. It's old and beat to hell, but I just leave it connected in the glove box and it's got all the music I have/need on it. No reason to take it out.

So far the replacement seems fine. I will remain optimistic.

I like my new...smashed undertray due to road kill

I can't be too upset though, it sacrificed it's life doing it's intended job of protecting the engine and other critical components.

Anyone have one laying around?

cobb hasn't released AP for the N55 engine. I checked. They say they're still a long ways away... jerks. The AP on the n54 added 80hp/ft lbs. That'd be sweet.

I'm considering getting it chipped honestly, or waiting for cobb.
It's my wife's car really, but she could always use a bit more power....
