I finally got around to taking some actual photos of the car so I don't have to use the stock photo anymore.

That looks beautiful. Not sure when it's going to be launched here in the UK (where it's called a Mondeo), but I'm looking forward to seeing one in the flesh. Hope you don't mind but I've posted one of your photos onto a UK motoring forum where we a discussing the UK release date. Seeing as your photos don't show any identifying marks, I assumed you'd be ok?

It's not very heavy I am sure you could double sided sticky tape it to a ceiling. Best bet I think would be to put a hook in the wall and just hang it there, it has about a 5 hour life on it.

Thanks....what I really want is a set that can be mounted flush in the ceiling itself....plenty of crappy PA types available, but I want a pair that will take a decent volume without distortion et.

Search continues.

No worries, I'm cool with it. :)

What's the link to the thread where it's being discussed?

That grill reminds me of an Astin Martin. Very nice. I used to have the UK version (Mondao) not long after it was released. Was a great car for motorway driving.

I think Ford owns Austin Martin and it's why they borrowed the design. Lots of people tell me about the similarities. It's a sharp car and rides really nice.

I can move the 5S from "Future" to "Last" now. Got it in the mail yesterday. The whole needing a passcode to use the TouchID thing blows my mind. So stupid that you can't just use TouchID. Defeats the entire purpose. Even if you use the wrong fingerprint, it still lets you swipe to get to the passcode. 100% pointless.

No, it does not defeat the purpose of TouchID. Its purpose is to encourage people to set up a passcode or set up a more secure one by making it easy to unlock the phone.

How is it easier to scan your fingerprint AND type a passcode than to just type a passcode?

New topcase + installation (via my Apple authorized service provider) for my MBP. Price wasn't bad, but I should've gotten AppleCare :/

I haven't run in these just yet, but I couldn't wait to get these New Balance Fresh Foam 980's. I've had them since Wednesday and they are awesome!

Just scored this camper shell off craigslist for $300. Original Price was close to $1800, and its in perfect shape and only a couple years old. It also happens to be Ford White, which is what my truck is.

Never mind that it is sitting on my dads old truck. It'll be a couple of weeks until I get back to my parents house with my F350 to install it. The Fiancé said I could get it if I promised to build my truck up for camping with it. Wasn't hard, since thats what I wanted it for in the first place. Also, thinking of doing a road trip, from the Mexico boarder to the Canadian boarder, via either PCH, or all the west cost national parks, for our honeymoon.. which will make this extremely useful.

I just can't wait to start on lighting and accessories. (partial amber 'emergency' lighting, and interior comfort.)

no you set up a passcode lets say if someone else wants to use your phone or answer a text for you while you're driving, you have the option to use your fingerprint OR the passcode, not and, you only setup a passcode only if your fingerprint for some reason can't be read or if you have someone else wants to access your phone with your permission of course

It doesn't let me turn TouchID on unless I have a passcode turned on, though. Every single time I unlock it makes me do both. :/
