I am thinking about geting a vette or 911 soon. what would you pick?
I am in the sub 25K range so it would have to be used, but one day I will shoot for new if only one time.
I can get 06 vette 40k miles or a 2000 911 60k miles both in like new shape so those are my picks. Time frame 1/2-1 year so listing the cars would do no good.
Update:
911: 11 votes, A guy I know and XDA
Corvette: 12 votes XDA
Update 2: It's 50/50 now( Edit: well it's 10 to 8 with the Vette winning)
the top 5 things I want out of the car first to last:
1) Ride better than kia
2) best 0-60 for the I-roads and more
3) Nice looking car/Coolest car. ( The vette looks better to me, but thats just me.)
4) Handing
5) Top speed
The ORB says 911, but it's still one vote.
If your buying used and live in the States , I'd but the vette for parts availability and less expensive repairs.
definitely the vette

Get the corvette. The extra years of newness will pay off in the long run. Also, bore thru the catalytic converters for some extra hp.

I'd say the 911 but go for the vette for parts and maintenance which are both cheaper for the Chevy than Porsche

The guy I know said they both cost the same to fix and maintenance. why would you go for a 911 and do you have one?

911.
Why? Yhe 911 handles like a boss. The Corvette is known for the lack of handling, but if you like to drag race, then the Corvette will do a better job, but if you want a car that can handle corners, then you won't find anything better than the 911 (in this class).
I just want a car that rides better than a kia and can do 0-60 in under 5 sec. top speed and better handing are nice too. I know the 911 is cornering king, but thats not all I want and is not #1 on my list.
I may track this car some times, but it will be my only car so I will not be dragging this car.
Hey, get a Crown Vic. Built like a tank, and if you take care of it, you can pass it down to your children's children.
Corvette! Love em.
-We do what we must because we can; for the good of all of us, except the ones who are dead-
For handling, I am almost certain the 911 is better. Plus, it's a Porsche.
Proof of rich spoiled children having everything.
Sorry I can't give any more details, I don't have the coin to drive any of the two, but if you were to buy them for me I would gladly provide a detailed review .
Buuut, if you really want speed and acceleration, try a motorcycle. On that I can give a detailed review as I've eaten up a lot of R8's and S8's.
ps: If you say you won't drag this car, why do you want it to do 0-60 under 5 secs?
Both would be nice to have, but it would be better for maintenance to go with the vette. And besides the vette sounds more sinister with a really nice exhaust.

Why do all of you say the vette would be cheaper to fix?
The guy I know says they cost about the same to fix and that the vette rides like crap, but I don't thinkthats true for the c6 vettes.
I think I will go for the vette, but test drive before I buy.

That's a given. You'd have to be nuts to buy any car, especially a used car, without going for a test drive first. I can tell you, from having already taken approximately 100 test drives before making a purchase, the vast majority of used vehicles sitting on car lots are there for a reason. And that reason certainly is not to see you get a fair deal. And the ones that have nothing wrong with them, and don't smell like cleaning fluid are so overpriced........
I got so disgusted that I ended up buying new. Buyer Beware.
I searched and didn't find a thread like this, so i figured i'd start one.
As stated in the title, this thread is for people going on vacation/traveling to places. Post your quires about a city or country here. Need some recommendations of places to visit, post here.
I'll start, since I'm going to New York, Philadelphia New Jersey and Boston next month, I need some recommendations of some places to go. I will be going with my family, so any places that are family friendly will be welcome.
Thanks in advance

I think it's got something to do with taking time off work and then travelling to places where you don't normally live. Rumour has it people crowd into public transport and onto planes, and then arrive at even more crowded places to spend a week or two crowding into 'tourist attractions' and queuing to see things.
And they pay a lot of money to do this.

You forgot to mention how most of them go to places that have lots of neon and alcohol, and they spend their time looking for native food establishments that serve the food they eat when they're not vacationing.

Strange isn't it? When i drank i could usually find a pub/restaurant/shop within a mile or two of where i lived. Never had to jump on a plane to find alcohol. Or food for that matter!
Apparently some people go for the 'sun'. Funny thing is, i've noticed that the sun often comes to me, wherever i am at the time. They'll kick themselves when they find that out!
Also, i hate the sun. Travel Agents should sell 'Rain Breaks'. Perhaps a week or two to the Amazon during monsoon season. Now that i could get on board with!

If you don't really need anything right now just save it until you have an idea. I don't know about your situation and if you're going to college and if financial aid/parents/etc will cover your costs - but that $300 will be eaten up very quickly and it's fantastic to be able to start saving before you get there if you're not getting "all expenses paid and more".
Of course, it's always nice to treat yourself! You said no phones, but what about something cheap like a Nexus One ? Buy that, save the rest. You will find a smartphone VERY useful for college, especially if you will be moving out and doubly so if you're going to be in a new area. Learn to use it now and be ready!

Have you tried going to a citizens advice agency? (Not sure of the american equivalent) they will be able to give you advice better to your local situation. Also they may be able to help you write up your c.v (resumae?) to the best it can be so you can apply for other jobs.
Have you thought about trying for a flat share to save on the cost of rent?
Also shopping at dollar stores should help you push the cost of food/living down. Planning your meals ahead will also help, buying cheap and in bulk where possible ect.
As far as getting another job is concerned once you have made up a great c.v (resumae) print off a load of them, (use a library printer if you don't have your own) and put them into every job/shop that you see to help spread your availability about
the thing to remember is that you are still young, especially from an american point of view (under 21) and things will always be tough trying to make it in a new area/city on a low income job. But things will get easier, you will start to learn where is the cheapest to buy your food/house goods and the more you put your c.v (resumae) out the more likely you are to get hired by other places
Keep your chin up pal, its achieveable, the nice house and the great food. It just takes time and a lot of effort
Good luck pal

Some of you may have seen the post about wiring a second battery to your N4, and getting fantastic battery life. For those who may have missed it, you can find it here

The problem is that you have to destroy your back cover.
The average person reading this post seems oblivious the the wonders of 3d printing. I've posted a few times and it seems to go right over everyone's head. So I'm posting in the main forum.
I am willing to pay $10.00 to the person who creates a 3d model of a case for the N4, with room for the extra battery, that holds everything in place. I know I'm not the only one willing to do this. If we get enough people interested in chipping in, a 3d modeler could make a nice chunk of change.
I did a google search for "have something 3d printed" and I get a bunch of companies, all I need is someone to make the model.
Anyone interested?
$10 would not even be worth the material to print out a "custom" case you want let alone the time and resources involved.
I don't want or need someone to print it out. I am going to submit the file to the printing service and pay for that all on my own. As would anyone else who wants the case.
I am paying 10.00 for someone to create the model in autocad for example. Provide that file for download. So anyone can submit this file to the printing service, pay the printing service fee, and have the printed case mailed to them.
Ten dollars? To develop a product that might eventually change the future of this phone, I don't think so

And your right, something that WILL CHANGE THE FUTURE OF THIS PHONE...so I think that passing 25 people would be easy,
Hell, there might be 100's. Thus making this person $1000.00.
I'm getting rrreeaalllly close to hiring this person and flat out paying him/her myself. Then charging for the file and putting the money into my bank account.

But how do you expect to have someone print you a case for just 10$???

He's not he's hoping to start a bounty for the design of it not the actual case

I'm not planning on paying 10.00 to have it printed. I'm chipping in 10.00 to have the document that is sent to the printer created. And paying to have it printed on my own. He w ever that much would be.
Regardless. The battery will be here after the 13th. I'm going to confirm the op. Between my roommate and I, we are going to *try* to develop an easy way to do the hardware mods to the device so almost anyone can do it. I'm going to hire the 3d modeler, have a few cases printed up and sell um on eBay.
Or... At least have great battery life and a nice case, depending on the cost I may just have one printed.
One way or another, I'm going to take full advantage of technology available to me.

Thank you thank you thank you!!!!
I might try this even though I don't even have a 3d printer but not today, tomorrow as I got to study for my final exams tomorrow

something like this would be nice

IMO that project is much better suited for phones with removable covers, as you have a preexisting mounting mechanism and there's no need to modify the actual phone. I can say however that a printable case fit the N4 woukd be pretty sweet.

Ten dollars? To develop a product that might eventually change the future of this phone, I don't think so

This post in particular disgusts me.. I would help change the future of this (or ANY device) for FREE if I had the required skill set. Not everyone in the world is in it for the almighty dollar.
Rant over. Carry on folks, I hope this gets going. If I ever shatter my back piece, I'll be right here with you.

I say throw this up on kickstarter, while I don't want this I'd chip in $5.
Sooo I came across this thread, and I'm an engineer, with access to a 3d printer and CAD software.
If a two piece hard case exists, I could base it on that, the 3d material isn't that strong when thin so it would have to be a two piece design.
This is certainly intriguing, though I must warn you, the "ink" our printer uses feels fairly cheap. I'm not sure what texture you're looking for, but I know other options exist, it would just be a matter of getting options from the shop who is actually printing.
Just want to note too, the ink is fairly expensive, plus there is hand cleaning necessary after the object is printed (driving up the cost).
I have a model N4 that I used to make a basic desk holder, I can send that to you to get a quote.
Let me know
EDIT: also, a case with a battery would need to be wired into the original, thus destroying your current back...unless a battery with qi like capacity could be placed next to the untouched back.

There is a web company that will print it for you. You just upload the 3d file and pay. Its around 30 dollars.

Agree with what you are saying about the two piece case, I am studying my senior year to become an engineer, I don't have a 3d printer but have Cad and will try to design something today, do you mind looking at it and giving your thought on it?

If it were me, I would copy the dimensions of the OEM bumper, use AutoCAD or Pro-E to make the 3D model, print and shove the rubber part from the bumper into the case. I'll take a look at my bumper when I get home and do a mock up. $10 for 10 minutes of work is worth it lol. The most time consuming parts would be getting exact measurements. I'll have my trusty caliper for that. The rounds would be a bit tricky though. Plus including some sort of tolerance for the mass produced 4's, though I suspect it should be fine if I stick with the same dimensions of the bumper.
Instead buy a travel charger !! Its too beautiful to be fk'd up
