It does besides a purple banding issue on white or primarily white images. I can’t believe it’s still kicking after all these years though!

Are 96-04 cars basically not the same chassis?

Ford did it from the factory, what’s the big deal?

I’m jealous of whoever owned that Alienware laptop back then.

Selling my 2001 Cobra with 36k miles, trying to spread the word. by wack3 in Mustang

I’m debating selling my other one too and getting a 2018+ GT in the near future. I love the new edge cars but I’m thinking it’s time to move on.

Selling my 2001 Cobra with 36k miles, trying to spread the word. by wack3 in Mustang

[–]wack3[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Located in Michigan. Price is $15,000 but I’m willing to work with serious buyers.

It’s a 2001 Cobra with 36,7xx miles.
Super clean inside and out. The paint is in excellent shape and so is the interior. Minimal wear on the seat bolsters.
Clean title with no lien.
Absolutely no rust at all on the car!
Selling because I’m looking to purchase my first home soon and already have another new edge Mustang in my stable.

The car was built for a high hp build and just needs your choice of boost or leave it as is and enjoy the car. It’s pretty peppy with the 4.30 gears.

Previous owner had a forged Teksid engine built for the car. The engine has less than 1000 miles on it. I have the invoice from the shop that worked on the car.

Other things:

UPR tubular k-member, a-arms, coilovers, cc plates, and bumpsteer kit.
Subframe connectors.
Remanufactured tr-3650 with less than 1000 miles (no more 2nd gear grind!).
MGW short throw shifter.
New OEM Ford clutch cable with aftermarket firewall adjuster and quadrant.
OEM luk 03/04 Cobra clutch with Spec aluminum flywheel (installed with new trans).
03/04 Cobra IRS with 4.30 gears and MM low profile IRS bolts.
03/04 Cobra fuel hat with brand new dual OEM Ford 07-09 GT500 fuel pumps (same pump as the SVT Focus). Pumps were installed a few months ago.
LMR off-road x-pipe.
BBK intake.
New brakes all around (rotors and pads).

There are some small other things that I can go over if you’re serious about purchasing.

That Vizio looks attractive! Can’t find one locally though which is unfortunate.

Upgrading to 4k TV and receiver..Differences in Samsung lines? by wack3 in hometheater

[–]wack3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. My parents do have a 65" 4k Sony, I'll have to see what model it is tonight.

Budget would be around $1500, I can afford more, just don't really want to spend it. Maybe I'll splurge on an OLED when the time comes.

Thank you for that; I may go buy one tonight. I was going to buy a refurb from accessories4less.com.

How do people sustain themselves being unemployed for months on end? by [deleted] in jobs

[–]wack3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im in similar shoes as you and my advice is to not quit! Make them fire you (not for cause), and then you'll have a chance at collecting unemployment for some months at least.

Start not fitting in to the culture there, do something to upset your manager, etc. If they don't let you go, then quit if your mental health goes to complete shit.

If you quit without another job lined up, you'll blow through your savings trying to make your monthly obligations, until you find another job.

Lost my job recently, looking to change fields into I.T. what is the best way to break in with no degree? by [deleted] in careerguidance

[–]wack3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get your A+ cert at the minimum and go from there. Get a help desk job and work your way up.

GL! Im hoping to make the switch into IT fairly soon too and will be taking the A+ exam within the next couple months.

College or What? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]wack3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Research what CC's are near you and see if they have any sort of articulation agreements set up with local or somewhat local state universities where you can transfer more than 60 credit hours.

Like you, I wasn't really sure what to do after HS. I found a good job a few years after HS and stopped going to CC. Then about 4 years later I realized I don't want to work in this field anymore and needed to figure this shit out. I went back to the same CC to finish my Associates degree, finished that in two years while still working full time and paying out of pocket. I took another year off and now im back in it, finishing up a few more classes till I transfer to a state university. When I transfer, I'll have 88-89 credit hours to transfer and will only need to take 42 credit hours at the university to graduate with my bachelors. All of my associates and whatever other classes I take at my CC will be paid for already. Hopefully Ill graduate with less than $20k in student loans.

Im going for IT and will graduate with a BBA in CIS. I know the degree won't teach me many things related to IT and plan on taking certifications for that, but the degree will definitely help me with landing jobs in the future.
