As long as the car has three pedals...
Drove a SAAB 93 Turbo without a clutch a few months ago and while the driving was great I couldn't stand driving an automatic. Can't say I have much experience though... nor do I need a car really (I live right in the city; walking distance to almost everything). I borrow my moms Ford Focus from time to time. So... I'm with tetris here - uninteresting topic ^^
Driving automatic is kinda quirky.
I'm used to it, as after my dad's brain basically burst with blood he hasn't been quite the same. Mostly things that aren't too terribly surprising to see changing when you disable the right hemisphere of the brain. (Such as lack of sensation in his left side.) So he hasn't been very hooked on the idea of driving manual shift for somewhat obvious reasons. (Being able to feel the clutch is pretty handy, it turns out.)
Pretty much every car in my immediate family is an automatic now. Aside from my brother, who drives my mom's old car.
Try driving double clutch sometimes. :P
Sorry to hear that about your father, Drunken. It doesn't sound like something one recovers from, but I hope he gets better.
2011 VW Polo here. Cheap, fun to ride, good sound.
Manual shift ftw!

'05 Mazda 3 sp23 semi-auto, nice little car that has some grunt when needed, I almost never drive manual though.
OT: Going to buy myself some sp2500's today, so excited

It's about ten years ago. He's as fine as he'll get. While he can't feel his left side, he recovered the ability to move within a year. He's pretty derp, but generally speaking a good guy.
He basically has extremely little sense of balance left, among things. Ever seen a grown man have trouble keeping a bike straight?

Xonar DX is great.
One thing about the Xonar cards is that the driver interface isn't the most user-friendly (still better than Creative's interface :P)...there's some stuff which won't make any sense...at first. You need to tweak some settings, especially the EQ (the default EQ presets are all shit, custom all the way) but once you know your way around the interface you'll be able to bring out the full potential of both the card and speakers.
On these forums I've probably got the closest thing to your soon-to-be setup (SP2500's + Xonar STX), I've had it for a few months to play around with, done lots of tweaks...so feel free to ask any questions about the card or speakers, stuff like volume priority...you'll have like 4 different volume dials in total, etc

I have the Xonar DX, although I think the interface is pretty much similiar in the older Xonar-families, I could guide you through the interface.
The default EQ gives too much bass for my speakers (standard Logitech; Crap highs, lows drowning mids with bass) yet too little for my headphones. :P
Speaking of which, ordering new headphones today or tomorrow.
Just ordered! http://i.imgur.com/WMu5h.png
Now I need to watch some videos on how to drain a water loop...
You're swapping a water loop with a D14?
/confused

Just unhook the CPU-block, elevate it above the rest of them, get a bucket, remove cabling.
Also, I don't think he wants to build water in his TJ08, although I've seen plenty a people who've done just that.
Lol you always seem to be buying new things tetris. Which headphones are you getting?

I'm getting them for work, so I need a pair of closed ones who also isolate well and for them to be portable.
Nothing special. I'll show you when they get here (:
Ahh fair enough. I've eased my pc spending somewhat recently, I need to find a job very soon >.>
Always seems that I "need" a new this or that.

Also, irrelevant. I overclocked my CPU again (or well, further).

That's as high as it wants to go with <1.22 vCore. More and it just gets too warm in there with dual video cards. I can live with that.
