That's a good looking MSM. A/C is definitely nice. I don't mind it at all when I'm just having fun and driving around. But if I actually have to go somewhere being sweaty and smelling like fuel isn't all that awesome lol.

I sit in traffic on the way to work and ALWAYS smell bad after doing that in the middle of the day. I probably won't use the AC a ton, but it is convenient to know that I have it.

I'm having the worst time trying to find a seat that will fit my fat *** and put me on the floor.

Search this site for "diet soda" and you will find some solutions.

That's not terrible. But compared to Google Fiber it's garbage. Definitely beats the crap 40Mbps I have.

I'm guessing you have a 250gb per month limit?

**** you all. I feel like a cave man at 18Mb. I never feel lacking for speed though. I can still download 5gb torrents in under an hour, so no big deal.

Yesterday....I sand. Today....I sand. Tomorrow....I sand.

I will sand till my fingers bleed, for they already ache.....from the sanding.

I am lost. Consumed by sanding. It is a bitter, hot, and lonely world the sanding.

One day I will sand no more. No more.

Till then, I will sand.

Revealing the identity would have spoiled the guessing-game in the other thread.

I'm not aware of any limit.

To be fair, this is more than I could possibly need or want. 10 Mb was sufficient.

As with torque, there comes a point at which you simply cannot use any more.

Is that real? It's like having a water cooler capable of dispensing 1000 gal/min. No matter how thirsty you are you can only drink a glass at a time.

Actually, it would probably be useful for streaming hdtv. Netflix just scratches the surface of what I think we could (will) have.

I've never had an issue streaming HD at 18Mb, and I still have plenty of room left. I can imagine my current speed could easily handle 4K or 8K when it eventually comes around. If it is the future format that is.
