It was fully insured, so that's why I'm only slightly pissed, it will be replaced regardless

On a lighter note, these strut bodies weigh about an ounce, and instructions are in english!! Score!!

Edit: not that I need instructions cuz I'm a freakin' badass at installin' em!!! hehehe

"megapixel" doesn't really mean much, dude.

agreed. That is why I rock a Canon 3.2MP Powershot, and I get great results....it helps that it is full manual, and 10x optical zoom.
I am still learning all the nuances of a manual camera though, adjusting to different lightings quickly, with all the different values.. :-P
I usually end up taking a million shots, and then it is easy to throw out the crappy shots later. I think that is why some people are impressed with some of my prints that I have.......they don't know about the 1,000 other shots that sucked, that weren't print worthy....

So normally it comes out with a grainy as **** picture that looks like ****. After about 3.2 Megapixels doesn't mean anything when it comes to putting pictures up on the internet. So just mess with the settings you should get the hang of it

Errrr.... stupid inept meter maids. I got four parking tickets. 1 on the STi and 3 on the legacy. Idiots. They said that I was parked after the meter went out. I have a resident pass so that doesn't apply and there are ZERO meters where I park. F'n A. Now I get to spend a lunch down at the ticket office settling this crap before they decide to put a boot on the Legacy.
