Off topic..Bought a new TV this weekend
I have a 53" HDTV Sony but a new house and all and a much bigger room it was time for a widescreen BIG TV. So I started looking and figured I would get the Sony 65" Widescreen HDTV. Found one at Circuit City on sale then went to a hungry dealer and he beat the price by 200, went back and told them, they matched it and had it in stock. Then the next day I went in with a 10% discount coupon, and insisted that they give me the 10%. They said they don't stack deals and I said I also want the $100 in store bonus. They got so flustered and I can be pretty intimidating, they gave me the 10% so I finally got a MSRP of $4999 TV for $2699. That is 300 cheaper than anything I have seen on the internet. Also did the no payments no interest for 12 months.

Nice Ted. Maybe I should introduce you to my friends in NJ. They have THE hookup on electronics! Some old guy that owes a friend some favors, knocks the bottom out of any prices on the internet.
When we close on a new house I plan on taking $10k right there and buying all my appliances, tvs, stereos, etc.
My buddy got a stainless side by side fridge for $1200. MSRP was $3200!

Thanks but hopefully I wont be buying too much more electronic stuff. I just bought a side by side stainless when I bought this house. That was about the same deal I think tha MSRP on it was 3800ish and I got it for 1500ish.

Yes but you too can have one, 12 months no payments. no interest from Sony. Gives you plenty of time to save. And when you aren't riding you can watch TV or DVDs in style.

My television is going to be sold this week, furniture is next. Time to liquidate everything except for my 12.
That LCD screen on the right side of the 12's dashboard that has gas, temp, and odo, should be replaced with a color LCD screen, portable DVD player in the storage, play movies.
Soon, we can project the movie onto our wind screen like the new Corvette does the speedo....
Life would be grand.

My Vette has the HUD and it is the most awesome auto accessory ever. It projects the image of the Speedo, tach, fuel, oil temp or pressure. water temp, turn signal, high beam, shift, check guages, (any or none of the above) info out in front of the car so you don't take your eyes off the road or refocus to see the info. Makes it hard to drive any other vehicle without it.

Oh sure let you or freek use the car, your room is a mess and the dishes ain't done, the garbage is not on the curb, and you didn't feed the dog.
