    Anyone have a Navigator?

    Thanks for the info. I DID mean worst of roads. Scott is correct; I did not say or mean off road. The same money may get me a couple years older Land Cruiser and that looks attractive too. I would not buy a Jimmy b/c of the crash test: http://www.highwaysafety.com/vehicle...html/96002.htm

    Anyone have a Navigator?

    I am thinking of buying a used 99 or 00. I may need a vehicle that can take me through the worst of roads. How have any owners here found the reliability and ownership experience?

    Input crosstalk on Yamaha RX-V1200

    I would think so. This is one of the reasons people use "seperates." There is no way to totally isolate the signals.

    Input crosstalk on Yamaha RX-V1200

    This is a normal condition on your RX-V1200. There is no total isolation. If you are playing a movie, be sure to turn off your or stop your CD player.

    My new tuner

    I bought a used "Nikko FAM 15." It appears to be from the late 70's or so, based on the circuits inside. It has a green backlight for the dial which is fade-able using the tab style push down button on the front. It works perfectly and sounds GREAT. Does anyone know what "multiplex" or FM...

    Thinking of buying a Honda S2000

    They were originally going to be in production for 2 years and extended to 2003. I think they send only 5000 a year to the states. Anyway, its limited.

    My 1st DD/dts/DPL II receiver

    I own this unit. Very nice and clean, and a super value. I have no complaints about it. I may have the taste and knowledge to choose a higher receiver, but not the money. So I am happy with this.

    Thinking of buying a Honda S2000

    Bitch car? Try bitchin' car! This car has the most horsepower per liter in a non-turbo 4cyl ever made. 240 horses out of a 2.0. Bitch car? This car was designed by Honda engineers for the anniversary of Honda as a "we are so proud of Honda and Honda racing, lets make the finest car yet"...

    What determines the character of sound?

    As a former employee of a major Japanese HT manufacturer, I can answer this question. The answer as to what determines the character of sound is what cost cuts are demanded by the guy sitting in front and center who only wants to hear "hi" (yes) all day long every day.

    dealing with car salesmen

    Jeremy said: "The dealer in question told us that the price on the windshield is the cash price and the price on the sticker is the financing price. Can I get the cash price and then get the dealer's O.9% financing on it? " This is another lie. Dealers get "cash" no matter how you pay, and...

    dealing with car salesmen

    I meant this: Car dealers will tell you that "yes we can give you that interest rate of 5.9" or whatever, and tell you that the payment will be xxx.xx dollars, and they are actually using a higher interest rate, getting you to agree on the payment amount, (which if you did not calculate it at...

    dealing with car salesmen

    Would you tear up a hundred dollar bill and throw it away? How about one, two, or ever five thousand dollars? Think you can't possibly get ripped five grand on a 20K car? How about those cheap cars, like Kia and Suzuki - can't loose money there, right? You can send your money to me by paypal if...

    Volkswagen owners - dealership service, how good or bad?

    This year I took a massive road trip in the US in my 2000 Golf TDI and stopped at several dealerships along the way for service and/or a warranty issue that came up. Overall I hate to admit that despite great cars, the service and service departments are terrible. (There are exceptions though)...

    Interview out of state - should they pay?

    You guys are right about the phone interview. I did suggest it to the recruiter I am working with, but the offer was rejected. The job is supposed to involve sales and training and was described as having extensive travel requirements in the US and abroad. When I found out the company...

    Interview out of state - should they pay?

    I got offered an interview on the west coast where I eventually intend to live. But I am back east now. They refused to pay for an airline ticket for me to interview, so I turned it down. I also took it as a sign that they werent really serious. I would have to quit or be fired from the...

    Minnesota: where drivers camp out in the fast lane

    Mississippi is the worst for this for sure. Can't you just see the 82 pontiac 6000 doing 60 in the left lane in a 70 zone while cars and trucks one after another have to pass on the right.
