My guess is that piracy represents 95% of the total of legitimate sales, or in other words they figure they should be making almost twice as much money if there were no piracy.

[quote user="oldenough"] I guess I have been lucky...Cos my 1965 Toyota Corona has never had no problem with its computer or rev limiter. I did get it to 90mph one time and it complained a little. [/quote] Got my 70 beetle near 90 and it never complained.

Drivers don't drive automatics. The day I drive an automatic is the day I am physically unable to drive a standard, and then there might be a case for not driving at all.

Twisted, when a rev limiter kicks in it actually lowers the revs below the peak that it kicks in. For the sake of this case I get the impression no limiter kicks in, because if it did a driver would gain a sense of what to do.

Westie, I've never driven a car with a speed limiter but many with a rev limiter.

As for tires, the 3 series is tail happy especially in the wet so wet traction is a big factor in the buying decision. Tires should be purchased based on experience with a particular car and driving style, it's a very personal choice.

[/quote] Oldtimer, I agree, something fishy about the whole story, just like all the brake failures when there is an accident, but no apparent problem afterwards, or all the females that get pregnant

[quote user="tigerwoodKhorns"] I have a Philips 963SA upsampling (to 196) mlti-format player that I will sell. It has an upgraded power supply (Blackgate mod per Leok's method) and it is quite a player. Really nice bass. It is mint and I have the box, remote and manual. Originally a $600 player without the upgrade. I'll sell it for $225. [/quote] I'll take it.

Spaghetti and gopher balls for Lidge.

It's impossible not to like Yogi. He's also a very astute judge of talent who said that Ivan Rodriguez is the best catcher he's ever seen. I couldn't agree more. C'mon phillies, don't let the cause of good vs. evil suffer another setback!
