  1. Re:What's different vs the Audi engine? on The Last GM Big-Block V-8 Rolls Off the Line · · Score: 2, Informative

    Well, first thing, the _Big block_ has gone, not the small-block. Audi makes V8 for car applications, so, you'll always have a better mileage in a Audi S4 than in a GM truck made for pulling 10,000lbs. Audi V8 are also very recent, the first one ... mounted on ... the Audi V8 was a 3.6 V8, by no means a big block Compared to US standards, it might seem a "baby block" with it's 219cid This 1989 V8 already had quad-cam (OHC) and a Bosh Motronic engine management. Audi made V8 from scratch, seeing the others mistakes. GM made the V8 history, OTOH. The Big-block was a dinosaur, it was time to get to something else. Plus, all the spares a still available ! so no fear for all the users.

    Here in diesel-land (Europe) every car that fails to hit 500k, diesel or not, is because of the "cash for clunkers" program, or a car accident. Every 'high-duty' application, comparable to what you are searching when towing 10K lbs make _way_ more than a million before getting rebuilt. for the rebuilding of a Diesel, parts are something like 30% more expensive. The only thing that costs WAY more, is the Turbo, on a Turbodiesel engine. You can get your (car) turbo rebuilt for 400 euros here. Where I live, i see a lot of MB's 308 & 508 which have travelled thru europe without even an oil change. But these 508&308 are often devoured by rust, because of the salt. These engines are non-turbo, get pretty good mileage, and run just ... forever

  3. Ok, Here's the software I use on Useful Apps for First-Time Windows Users? · · Score: 1

    First, replace the filebrowser with a dual pane one, I use a commercial app, so no link :p

    Sec, do not forget to have some ftp client, oh "ftp" works fine, but any FXP enabled client is better

    Third, you _must_ be able to watch pr0n^M^M^M documentaries, so Just install the filters and a player [http://yatoshi.com/ a great pack, read almost everything]

    Then, you must find the software that fits your needs, listen to music, edit movites ... Juste like you do on a mac but without the i, no ifoobar2000, no iMediaPlayerClassic ... :)
