That Norway shot is real pretty, I love the snow rallies.  Also, if you have as much air as that ford, your navigator probably screwed up  :lol.

I used to rock my Camry through the back roads of western NY all the time.   I wish I was kidding.  Nothing like putting that beastly 2.4 into a long power slide hairpin to get the blood flowing.   :rock  I over corrected her into a ditch/tree once, but other than that and a couple rocks in the undercarriage, maintained a pretty good track record.  Unbelievable how smooth the handling was on such a basic sedan.   :aok

I too would without hesitation have joined some local rally leagues had I the funding to get/maintain a real car.  Now that I live in DC, the closest thing I have is my somewhat reckless biking habits through incompetent traffic.   In many ways it is more dangerous than firing a camry down dirt roads at excessive speeds  :rofl

I learned to drive on the dirt roads in Montana ..in the winter, it was steer for the center of the fences, cause there was no road to see after a new snowfall :)

Fun to get a '53 merc sideways an work the drift thru a hairpin.
Nowhere near as fast as a WRX would do it by far .. but it's where I learned to drive a car, not just trundle point A to B.

,.. still take any car I own out to an empty parkin lot an wring it out a bit .. I want to know what they do and how fast they do it and what it takes to make 'em not do it  .. an stuff.

Just like you're sposed to do with an airplane ..you have to know when she gives up ..an stuff.

Yeah I know I have a lot of icons but it doesn't affect the performance of my system a bit.





And one of my favorites, a poster that a friend made and yes that is actually me while I was deployed in Iraq from Jan-May '08, the actual photo was taken at like 0145 and I used the timer on my camera.

No, but that Norton Virus (and yes, I left the Anti- off by intent) sure as hell does.

Ok, just cause you have heard bad stuff about it or what not doesn't mean it's bad. It works perfectly fine and it does not affect my systems performance so quit being biased against it. That right there is what annoys and irritates me. It places within the top ten of the best ANTI-Virus software available.

It is ok for PC neophites.
It does affect your system performance.
In some cases it is more intrusive than the virus it is supposed to catch.
Even though it has a smaller footprint than in the past it still is a hog compared to others.

Last but not least... use what you want, it is your machine.

There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

For what you paid for one year of Norton, I paid $30 more for a two-year subscription on ESET Smart Security Suite (including NOD32).   That "price differential" is leaps and bounds more than "worth it".  

Norton does suck, so does AVG, McAfee, Kaspersky and most others.
