I'm sure you can get it done for 200-300 dollars at a hack shop. I had 2 door dings pulled for a neighbor a few weeks ago for $200, and that was paintless. I spent 10 years estimating collision repairs at my brothers shop and at our rate (which was standard in our area), I would say to repair...

I think you made the perfect choice. I think it that is a really classy timepiece for anybody old and young. Quote: Originally Posted by Computerpro3 I have made my choice. I decided that at my age wearing a $1000 watch doesn't make sense for the following reasons: 1. Everyone...

I'd say $1,200-$1,600 at a real body shop. Call your local Mercedes Dealer and see who they use, thats where you want to go, trust me. Make sure they use a quality paint like Glasurit, Sikkens or PPG.

Check out Certified Pre-Driven Volvo's which come with a 100k mile waranty. The average life of a Volvo is 18.6 years. I've had Volvo's in my family last 20 years 400k miles. I currently own an '03 S60 and an '04 S40. The S40 is quite peppy when the turbo spools. I'd make sure to check them out...

Good deed for the day is done. You can all expect them soon. Enjoy your projects.

There are only about 20 left so act quick.

I have too many NJR4556. I never use them for anything. Do what ever you want with them. Take them for free!!

There are many different models of the 936. Some models are ESD safe if that is a concern. They also come with a number of different pencil sizes. I use a 907 ESD with a small chisel tip, which seems to be the most versatile. I have only had one problem with my hakko in the past 3 years. I...

Thanks, they look great.

Owl hardwoods in Des Plaines, IL has the best selection, best prices I've ever seen. If they don't have it, you don't need it. I buy all sorts of wood for real cheap. I usually get lots of "cut off's" for pennies on the dollar. Let me know what you need and I'll pick it up next time I go. I go...

Thanks a bunch!! I'm extremely anxious to get them.

Don't get the 35HDRANN, it's prone to corrosion. 35HDRABAU or 35HDRANAU may be better? I haven't given them a chance since my bad experience with35HDRANN

paid, thanks!

I have thumping or ringing sounds in my ears when I try to get to bed occasionally. I wouldn't relate it to headphones though because sometimes it's just there for no reason. I usually take a Xanax and it goes away. When you go to your Doctor, ask him for Xanax, it's a miracle drug for tinnitus...

Recstar, I've got a set of 325i's here. Bring your MS2's over and maybe we can figure it all out.

The 325i's or whatever we want to call them, don't seem so heavy to my head. I find them just as comfortable as any other Grado. If anything, the clamping action needs to be adjusted, but that's all.

Quote: Originally Posted by mrkangpae I do not like Grado vocals either. They're overly sibilant, overly bright, and unlifelike. Emphasis does not make sounds in that register better; and besides, the emphasis isn't on mid-high, per se, but above that (2khz). This makes a lot of vocals...

I feel bad for you. This makes me sad to know you that you have this pain. I will never forget the day that I held my grandmother's hand as she passed. It was something beyond description that changed me forever. I had never seen anybody die before. I know this does not compare to what you are...

Yes it is. Looking at your profile, I noticed you collect fonts. So do I. What exactly is Pearly Bakers best anyways?

I like my HD595's. They feel good on my head and around my ears. I would actually rather be wearing them than not wearing headphones at all. Sometimes I wear them without listening to music. They do lack some midrange detail but pressent a Grado like signature in some way. These would be a good...
