4 new shoes for my car. I currently have runflats and they suck in the wet—forget about snow—dry handling was loud and stiff. These new ones are the Conti ExtremeContact DWS tires. Reviews said they were good and more importantly my dad and a couple of my friends have these on their cars, and they say it's good. So now I have them. Should be here soon and give me a smoother ride.

All I know, the show's theme song went off in my head immediately when I saw that! :p

You will love them, I have them on a 02 maxima, the ride is quiet, it does well in the rain, and it does GREAT in the snow, last years winter in NY was terrible, but the tires made a HUGE difference, enjoy them. Only advice I can give is be easy on bumps, try to avoid them as much as possible, sometimes, being that they have a soft sidewall, they bubble quick.

I didn't post my purchase from yesterday because I was very exhausted from long day shopping. Now I can post what I bought yesterday.

Thank you. I took it from my Apple Premium Reseller store since we don't need them there anymore. It's custom made just for the APR stores and can't be purchased anywhere else.

Custom Sony PS3, games, clock, and iPhone 4S

Just received my custom painted PS3 along with Uncharted 3, Battlefield 3, Dead Space 2, Resistance 3 Doomsday Edition, PS3 wireless headset, and iPhone 4S. Might return my iPhone 4S because I can't hear the other person on the line and the echo effect. Also have the PS 3D monitor coming. Just wished it was bigger than 24".

Approves of Animals. My favorite Floyd album.:cool:

BTW, you should turn the Ikea shelf 90° so that those bolts are on the sides and not the top.:)

Yeah, Animals is really awesome. What's your favorite song? Mine's Sheep. I know I should've turned it upside down, but I like it like that.

Looks like a metal banana stand... Just saying.

But I agree that is one nice setup.

Custom made Colt 1911's for our Battalion. These are just quick mockups and not what the finished product will look like. They will be blued instead of the brushed metal look.

The second is an HJC RPS-10 Ben Spies Replica Helmet.

These will both be waiting for me when I get home in the Spring.

Since I'm here and I have some catching up to do. Here's pretty much everything else I've picked up while on deployment.

Tamiya 1/12 scale Yamaha M1 for Valentino Rossi (Fiat Yamaha) and Colin Edwards (Tech 3 Yamaha) as well as the Valentino Rossi kit to go on it.

Also picked up a 1/6 scale figure from a company called Very Hot. Not as good as some other companies I usually get figures from, but it was one of the few who had multi-cam fatigues.

Been there, done that recently. But I used Vicks First Defence as soon as I could feel the cold starting. It wasn't as severe this time, thank heavens.

Why couldn't they have developed it sooner! :rolleyes:

I got some stuff from Elite - the warming oil works quite well. Haven't tried the other stuff yet.

TBH, I don't really have a favorite song on the album.....I kind of consider it five movements of one long song. I will say that the guitar solo in Dogs is one of my favorite parts of the album.

It's one of those albums that I'll love forever.

I know I should've turned it upside down, but I like it like that.

I didn't say upside down.....turn it 90°, so it's on its side.

Like this:

But, if you like it the way it is, keep it like that.:)

Thank you! It means a lot when I hear that.

I was originally going to pick up a Walther P99 .40 cal, but decided to get the 1911 since I didn't get one of them from my Iraq deployment. I think my dad is going to try and find me a Walther anyway as a gift.

Is that the clock from Green Lantern?? I just watched it, notice something like that on his night stand.
