  1. Just wanted to add a quick note. All the posts so far have been pretty accurate: Chicken Pox and Shingles are the same virus. Once you have chickenpox, or adult Herpes Zoster, the virus lies dormant in your spinal cord. If your immune system weakens from stress, fatigue, or any other cause, the virus starts to replicate and grows along the sensory (pain) nerves. This is why it occurs in unusual strips or patches, which are the nerve distribution patterns (dermatomes) Vaccine helps, but is not a guarantee you won't contract shingles. The main reason I am adding this post is that I wanted to advise anyone who develops shingles to consider talking to your own doctor, and starting GABAPENTIN (Neurontin). There is pretty good evidence this can reduce the change of Post Herpetic Neuralgia dramatically. Post Herpetic Neuralgia is severe (!) persistent (!!) pain that occurs because of inflammation of the affected nerve. It can last for years. Gabapentin has side effects, but when you look at the balance of risks vs benefits, its something to consider. Disclaiimer: I am not offering medical advice to any particular individual, just transmitting commonly known medical knowledge which is available through typical review of literature.
  2. ditto on Sprint. I called them and said I had poor reception, and delayed text messaging. They overnighted a Femtocell transmitter for free, with no monthly charge.
  3. Hendricks and Plymouth are both awesome!
  4. Jarek Molski... Wikipedia entry for Jarek Molski
  5. I have a new 50" plasma as well as a 50" LCD. (Also a 72" DLP Rear Projector). Hands down the best image is the plasma....LCD is close, but there is something about it that isn't quite right. Mine is fairly new (bought this spring), and has a high response/refresh, but it still looks kind of smeared sometimes. ♠
  6. Rob, I just got a postcard from Lamboghini Sarasota (I didn't even know they had a dealership btw). Valentino Balboni is going to be there Sept 4th as part of a LP-550-2 event. Its not that far from your location. Just FYI
  7. I've used Exotic Car Transport several times. They are Orlando based so maybe you can swing a discount if they are headed that way. I think someone posted a link above.
  8. GBGallardo, the rims really do look great on the car. Valve stem is an easy fix....you're supposed to change it every time you change tires. I dont think you even need a "lamborghini" valve stem, as I am not aware of any proprietary system. Chips shouldnt be too hard of a fix either, like the above posters said.
  9. I bought a set of Titanium Casseiopia rims with OEM Pirelli Corsa Tires (Superleggera factory tires) for my Gallardo to use on the track, but never used them. They're completely new, unused, and speed balanced. Bought them from Manhattan Motorcars. If you're interested, I can send you pix or post pix... Rick
  10. Just noticed you posted. Sorry didnt get back to you. You got an awesome deal on the back set! Wowee! Sorry, though, can't break up either set or even come close to that price. Thanks though! Here's a pic of the used set. New ones still in plastic and dust bags.
  11. Damn I'm asking too much? Or Damn I should ask for more? I just don't use these things at all and they are taking up space. I have idea about the current value of these things.... BTW Mike, how are things with you?
  12. I have two sets... Four bags (two for front trunk, two for behind seats).... Brand new, still in the cotton protective bags, never used. Four bags (two for front trunk, two for behind seats)....Used twice. Great condition. How does $2500 for the NEW set sound... Split shipping costs. Or.... $2000 for the barely USED set sound...Split shipping costs.
  13. Would the offsets work on a 2008 E93 M3? Also, do they have the TPMS installed?
  14. I just sold my 2006 Viper. I actually really liked the car, but was able to sell it for more than I paid for it, so I couldn't pass up the opportunity, especially with the crappy economy in Florida. I was looking at Ford GTs, maybe the one that LamboChicago has for sale. It looks like the prices of these things is actually going up. Just wanted some opinions from GT owners, especially those that have owned Vipers or Lambos....Driving experience, Fun factor, reliability, problems to expect, and anything else you could throw in would be helpful. Thanks!
