Companies that use self check out lines instead of hiring humans to do the job. I will not use them. I will walk over to the person assigned to watch them and have them check me out.

Quote, originally posted by Sputnik Â»I like it! But it reminds me of the Hyundai Sante Fe/Tuscon (I can never tell those two apart). The first thing I thought was Hyundai Tuscon as well.

I just did a fresh dual boot install of Ubuntu 11.04 on my Acer netbook. Slickest Ubuntu to date. Without question, this was the most pain free Ubuntu install ever. The GUI is very nice though it will take some getting used to. If my new windows 7 box wasn't so fast, I would be very tempted to insta...

I would have bought one of these if it weren't for the hump by the drivers right leg. Just couldn't get comfortable driving the thing....so I bought the Rondo. I wanted those sliding doors. I'm a fan of mini vans....just not a fan of the gas mileage. The micro van will have to do.

Anybody here ever use Cavalier Telephone and DSL? If so, any horror stories?

I will not miss them. I've driven manuals and like them, but as long as I have a Tiptronic, I won't miss them.

Tubaryan12

[rant]I will not use self checkouts. Too many jobs are being eliminated with the goal of funneling more money up the ladder by these things. If I go to a store and either 1) there are no humans to check me out or 2) the lines are too long with too few cashiers, I will leave my cart in it's place and...

Seems to me the market has spoken on this one. No different than almost all cars now have A/C as standard equipment. I know guys that hate that change as well. I drive stick and love doing so.

On my last upgrade, I purchased a smart phone. I only bought it because of the features the phone provided, not to surf the web. The minimum data plan was $15 per month. Of course I didn't want to pay and I too figured I would try to get my money's worth out of it. I'm glad I did....the convenience ...

A year and four months too late for me. I didn't want to pay for what I knew was a bad ecm. Mine went bad around 80k miles. I wonder will they refund the folks who paid to have them replaced after the warranty was up?
