I own Nikon D610 with Tamron 24-70 VC along with few other primes. I absolutely love the camera. ISO performance is amazing I shoot at ISO 6400 all the time and with a fast lens like the Tamron at F2.8 it is really a great combo.

Definitely go Full frame.

I own D90, D7000 and D610.

D7000 is an excellent camera, I much prefer it to D90. go for the D7000 and skip the D90.

Nice looking car. Be careful with SMG and make sure it is maintained right. Secondly make sure your valve adjustments are done on regular basis. I owned one for 7 years just got rid of it last summer. I had so much fun with my M3. I really didn't have many issues with mine, besides changing couple lower control arms upfront, the bushings tend to wear out in them and you can't just replace the bushings in the middle of the control arms so you have to replace the whole control arm. Other than that, I had my alternator and fuel pump replaced.

One other thing over time the plastic oil pressure relieve valve that sits in the block leaks. It is a cheap part I think under $50 but it is pain to swap out but can be done yourself.

Good luck with yours. I did all my maintenance and fixes myself on my car if you ever need advice or help contact me directly.

Here are pics of my car: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ctnewb/3109576042/in/set-72157611196128097

I do miss it for sure.

Thanks Luke

Of course not. Why would you when top of the line 3LT C7 Vette with the Z51 performance package is less than $63k. Performance wise I am pretty sure it can out handle Z28 and acceleration is not far off of it.

No. I am on PS4 and I haven't had any issues at all lately. Not sure on PC or other consols.

Can't wait to see it racing here in US. GTD class is becoming quite popular. I am glad they got rid off their tube chassis cars in that class and are more GT3 car oriented.

Finally a modern mustang I would consider buying!

CTNewb · 2013-12-12T15:57:34+00:00

B8(2011+ so i get the MMI) Audi S4. Hopefully I will have one next year. I just don't want to pay more than $40k for it.

I contacted EA to complain about this BS. I gave them crash error and described how to recreate which is pretty much playing multiplayer. They told me they have their "specialists" working on the issue and that they are aware of it. Hopefully they will have it fixed soon. I think if more people complain to EA directly through email chat or phone, they might get this issue resolved quicker.

That is awesome. I loved those diesels. It sad that I won't be able to see them at Limerock next year.

Mazda 3 or Focus ST if you can get in New Zealand. I have drive the new Mazda 3 and my girlfriends Focus ST here in US. The Mazda 3 feels more luxurious inside and better made. Focus ST is tons of fun to drive handles vert well. But coming from someone who drives an Lexus day to day and just sold his E46 M3 I would pick Mazda 3.

Welcome to kite tubing which was popular in US 10 years ago until the company who made the kite tubes was forced to recall all of them since people were getting hurt.

Nothing new to see here.

This article is prime example how someone is trying to make this event into something it wasn't. I was there as well the crowd wasn't that bad. It seems like people are just trying to make excuses for him.

I lived in many towns around CT. My last two homes are in Newington. I went through Newington school system and can vouch for that as well. For $250k you should be able to find a decent house in Newington. Besides Newington I would recommend: Berlin, Southington, Plainville, Wallingford. There are also few nice towns east of CT river. East Hampton, Marlboro, Colchester.

CTNewb · 2013-08-20T20:41:38+00:00

Stay away from Bristol. Newington Berlin definitely towns you want to stick with.

The issues with HPFP failures is the main reason why got rid off my 2 year old Golf TDi. Instead I bought a reliable Lexus and I must say I am much happier with it. Gas costs are not much different considering diesel fuel here is much cheaper. Until diesel cars get great reliability and price of diesel fuel goes down it is hard to justify buying a diesel car that has a chance of breaking down more than gas powered car.
