    Is the Samsung Focus S worth the extra money over the Focus Flash?

    All I see is that it has a bigger screen, and a better camera. at&t oh and more space than i'll ever need let me just put it out there that the S is $174.99 on amazon, $199 in store at ATT for an upgrade. i think it's $99 online, but their website is being glitchy. and the FLASH is only 34.99...

    Why does the Winchester .22lr bulk pack (333) cartridge say Super X on the primer?

    You know, where logos are usually at on the casings on the back where the primer is. Are these winchester bulk pack ammo really super X ammo but in a cardboard box? or do they just use the super X casings?

    Am I big enough for a Honda Shadow 750?

    or any bike in that class range for that matter... i'm about 5'4.5" and 111lbs (i dont know if that matters) anyway. I've sat on a rebel before and it felt really fitting, but i know that i would outgrow the 250cc quickly. i'm just that type of person. My friend, who's shorter than me, rode...

    What is like a 2004 Toyota Matrix XR, but faster and handles better?

    that is what i currently drive and auto. i like how it is so practical and i can go anywhere with it, however i want something that is more powerful. i'm into racing and this car is super boring haha! also, going up mountains for snowboarding and stuff is a struggle for the little 1.8L engine...

    Is a Mustang GT (99-2004) faster than an integra GSR or honda prelude (5th gen)?

    STOCK FOR STOCK! i know it kinda sounds stupid....but the two hondas are less than 3000lbs and make 170hp (gsr) and 190-200hp (prelude). i believe the two hondas are running 0-60 times around 6.5 seconds. now...that's a 4cyl. i would expect the v8 to be much much faster. but is it? i want a...

    What are some good, relatively new, sporty cars for around $5,500?

    i want a car that is reliable AND cheap to maintain/own. it's gotta be manual transmission, and it can't be a gas guzzling demon. This will be my daily driver so yeah. I want something that is new enough so that I won't have to deal with so much of the little things going bad due to age. I...
