Got these Fortitude 3s over the weekend at the specialty running shoe store. It was asics weekend so I got 20% off. They're the only store in my area that has an Asics gold account, so only they can get these shoes. Can't get them online, and especially not in a 16 4E. The fortitudes are built for huge people with normal foot mechanics (not flat feet or fallen arches or whatever), so they feel fantastic. It's like I'm on a cloud. And the toebox is bigger so no more ingrown toenails that the Nimbuses were giving me. I think I'm too heavy to wear their Nimbus shoe. I was probably bottoming out that gel-cradled heel. These new Fortitudes have more of a cush feeling than a spongy clod.
I also got a look at the Gold catalog and saw the new Fortitude 4s due out this June. They look so much better. It's really about time they updated the aesthetics of the upper because the first three are a little goofy looking. I'll be getting a pair of those the next time the store has a sale. They also had the brand new Nimbuses that aren't even available or listed anywhere else. They looked neat but after skipping the Fortitude 2s for a Nimbus 10 and now wearing these 3s again, I don't think I'll go back.

$60 USD on that site. Everything costs more in Europe, it's crazy.

Asics are the bomb. I've worn mine every day to work for at least the last 2 years, and if I washed them they'd look like new again, not a single stray strand of thread on them. And awesome for people like me with dodgy knees. I have the GEL-3010.

So I have had a Driving Force GT wheel since '08, when we all thought it would be a great time for us to invest in preparation for the big release (no pun intended). At the time, I was looking at getting a G25 but my wife would not let me dump another 3 bills for a wheel so we got the cheaper one.
Well yesterday, one of the guys I work with dropped a few bucks into a slot machine on his lunch break. He hit a progressive Straight Flush for a decent payoff. When he returned from lunch he threw some money on my desk and told me to go get the wheel. I protested (of course) and told him he was crazy and didn't need to do this. He wouldn't take no for an answer so I picked it up last night. Of all the Best Buy locations in Las Vegas, there were two available, and I got one. 💡
I still can't get the clutch to work with GT5P, but it worked fine with my 1hr trial of rFactor. I will play around with that more tonight when I get home. The feel of the pedals (IMHO) are enough to justify the purchase. The wheel is very smooth and quiet. (which my wife loves) I am very very happy with the purchase.
Now all I have to do is build a rig to put it in and I am set.

Since the cellphone I gave to my girlfriend didn't come with a USB cable I went to dealextreme.com to buy a bluetooth adapter. While I was at it I also bought a Matroshka doll and a LED shot cup for her. That was a month ago but they only got here now.

His isn't that much better.
Right?
Hello?
Anyone?
And nice Wolverine. 👍
I wouldn't worry about it, TB. Its what and how you take it, not what with. I'm sure you'll love the DSLR, and I look forward to seeing stuff from you in the photography section. 👍
Someone in my uni class uses a Nikon D3, and I can honestly say that I prefer the stuff I shoot with my bottom end D60.
And then on top of that, when I (very) occasionally win the automotive comps, some of the gear other contestants shoot with is far superior. Like Syntax Error for e.g.
