Edit: My bad, it's a 9600gt, not the 9800gt. Difference is negligible for $30 .

I guess it doesn't hurt to try it. Didn't have any issues with it when you used it last? And drivers for it I can get on PNY's or NVIDIA's website?

Need an armrest? But SRSLY, I have one.

[SeedyRom]

I do need an armrest . I had no problems with it. Nvidia uses universal drivers so you can get them off http://www.geforce.com/Drivers . When I took it out of my pc, I put it in a static bag. It's been sitting in a drawer in the static bag ever since.

[gilber33]

I'll give you the arm rest and some monies for it?

You'll be at Tommy's right?

[SeedyRom]

I shall be at Tommy's. We probably should've extended this to PMs but oh well . I'll do a straight up trade for the armrest if both cupholders are good.

[gilber33]

Haha. Its the MWC chat thread, this is exactly what it's for. Sounds good to me. I'll get the arm rest out and clean it up for you and everything. And yes, both cup holders are solid.

Anyone figure out what kind of beer they're bringing? Would be cool if we had some variety. I was going to try picking up some Lagunitas IPA.

I seriously don't understand how you guys are always breaking the cup holders on your arm rests.

I have the same one from the manufacturer - the only wear is the leather cover.

Beats me, but as long as they're needing them, I'll supply them!


I can bring a few bottles of the beer from my last brew.




So I was going to go get the title for my car transferred on Friday but after talking to my parents, when I do that, the insurance drops off. So now I have to decide if that's something I want to do now and start my own policy (I was going to anyways) or my Mom said I can keep the insurance on it until October when their 6 month payment is up. I'm kind of debating it, as much as I appreciate not having to pay the $190 to transfer the title and the either $41 for $215 to start the insurance, I'm ready to take the step to make the car officially mine and be responsible for it.

Either you don't own a 70 series volvo or you don't use the cup holders

Try fitting a BIG Gulp in there and you'll see.

Red's original one finally got a crack in it last year and still don't know how. But I bought a new one and its installed. A lot of the cup holders that Daniel and me saw in the junkyards were also broken. Seems they like to crack right in the front.

They aren't the sturdiest to begin with. They just fall apart over time. I'm on the second one in each car.

Well look at and see that it doesn't fit and then don't put it in there.

I have two, owned two others, and never a broken cup holder among them. We're talking 27 years of aggregated 70 series ownership across the four cars.

I just take the bottles (all I drink in the car is bottled water or Mt Dew if it's a late night or early morning drive) out of the cup holder before I attempt to lift the arm rest.

You can totally fit a Big Gulp in an S70 cup holder.

[Snabb T5M]

that's what she said!!!

Knew I wasn't the only one that could.

Sorry, the idea of drinking 32 or 44 or 64 oz of soda hasn't seemed attractive to me since I was 16.



The most I ever drink is maybe 12-20 oz.

[Snabb T5M]

I bet if it was a BIG Gulp Slurpee you would!

Now I'm bored at work.

In the past we could just start posting pics of scantily clad women. I guess we can just quote tax code instead?

[Snabb T5M]

Oh this should be good. Can't wait to see what you guys come up with.

Because we know how hot this seems to get Lee after hearing that Megan started throwing around tax terms...

When evaluating your taxes you first have to decide whether to use the short or the long form. The short form is what the Internal Revenue Service calls "simplified," which means it is designed for people who need the help of a Sears tax preparation expert to distinguish between their first and last names. The IRS wants you to use the short form because it gets to keep most of your money. So unless you have pond silt for brains, you want the long form.

Let's keep these jokes above the line. Just like the way Lee likes his deductions.

Because the sure way to ensure no accidental kiddie deductions occur is by ensuring you use back to back loans and arm's length transactions which however inevitably leave the proprietor with accidental withdrawals, undue hardships, and uncontrolled transactions.

Ugh, so much material, so not worth pursuing it...
