    You know... Big Brown Truck Syndrome or Big White Truck Syndrome? :p

    Unfortunately it isn't the shipment from Myth that I'm dieing for, but I am getting my new mouse and laptop cooler today. In a few more days my Router will be here and hopefully right after that my laptop, but I still do not know for sure when it will be here. It did finally go to "summoning" late on Saturday night though! (like 9pm those crazy fools! - in a good way)

    Can I have your old BMW? There may be a free computer in it for you.

    Nice! Hopefully when I'm done with school that is the kind of shopping I'll be doing!

    My Razer Orochi and CoolerMaster U3 have arrived. Happy as a kid on Christmas. I can't imagine what its gonna be like the day I'm expecting my new 150EM from Mythlogic!

    Nice MrDJ, I actually love the new 3 series, though the M5 is my favorite car. I had that issue when I was waiting for my laptop man, pacing around all the time and stuff. It can drive you mad!

    By the way DJ, did those drivers work for you?

    How do you like that Orochi btw? I thought about that as I was wanting a Bluetooth gaming mouse, but I wanted one that was full sized. The Logitech G700 looked great but it ate batteries from what I read. I'm using a Logitech m705 atm and it's a bit smaller than I'd like.

    Lol, I just did the same two weeks ago. Lifted 94 Jeep Grand Cherokee to a 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan. Transmission dead + transfer case exploded = Minivan. Bad Math

    This thread is depressing me twofold.

    I don't have a new BMW...

    and my fellow NBRers are forced to drive minivans.

    :(

    The orochi is great for me. I like that I can use it as a wireless mouse when on the go, at school and such yet when I want to game I can go to wired mode and get a high dpi and response time. For some, the bluetooth might be doable as a gaming mouse as well if you play with the bluetooth so it doesn't try to sleep after a couple seconds of non-movement... but I can't deal with the lag. Some say they dont feel it though. I can't comment on battery life yet obviously, but I'll keep ya posted in the coming months if you care to check in with me.

    couldnt afford the M5 Xtrophy.
    was just about to losad them last night as i thought id run all the benchmarks again first and then a couple of games of B3 but sods law i got called in on an emergency. will be loading them as soon as i get home tonight.

    the G700 is a great mouse but as you say it sucks on battery life. ive got used to only using it wireless for gaming now and then plug it in for all other use and so far its worked out fine.

    wow! i love american trucks but would be pointless in the uk especially the price of fuel. £1.46 a litre at the moment.

    sorry to depress you. i will only have the car for 3 years though and then i get a new one. does that help :D

    Luckily for me my fiancee hates minivans. That being said, we both drive 4 door cars anyway haha. I can't afford an M5 either, but I can dream right?

    My wife and I each have two door coups (Honda civic for me and mini cooper for her). I will be doing the trade-in for van/SUV in short time, once those little kiddos roam around :)

    I don't mind the minivan. It drives nice and has lots of storage, etc. But just not my truck.

    This is reminding me that I need to enjoy my S2000 while I have it. Once the kids start popping out, two seats won't cut it anymore lol.
