Fun car, but avoid 2003 models!

Sat, 28 Jun 2008 21:30:22 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author macaddiict - I have spent a good amount of time in recent year VWs, and like them very much. The idea of a convertible Beetle can't help but make most people smile, but this 2003 (and most 2003s, from my experience now) has brought just about as many frowns as smiles...

Grows on you - fun, peppy, and solid

Sat, 28 Jun 2008 20:41:13 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author macaddiict - I've been driving an '06 Jetta for the last two weeks and wanted to share my observations. I'm a big VW fan, and have spent a lot of time driving in other VWs for comparison -- including a 1998 Passat, 2001 Jetta, and 2003 New Beetle Convertible. This...

Fibery chocolate - isn't that enough of a warning?

Wed, 18 Jun 2008 02:20:59 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author macaddiict - Well, the promise of a somewhat healthy chocolate snack was too much for me to pass up. I bought a box of Fiber One Oats & Chocolate Chewy bars and devoured them within a week. I usually buy Kashi's TLC Chocolate & Oat chewy bars, but the extra fiber...

Unless you are a VW fanatic: AVOID

Wed, 18 Jun 2008 02:07:31 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author macaddiict - Let me preface this by saying I truly enjoy this vehicle and plan to keep it for many years. However, after you read my review, you'll probably think I'm insane for keeping it (as do all my friends and family). I wouldn't recommend picking up any...

Not the best you can find

Sun, 26 Nov 2006 04:06:46 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author macaddiict - I recently purchased this multi-function printer and scanner for my parents to use, replacing their HP 1610 which has never had the best scan quality. I found the Canon MP460 on sale on Black Friday and couldn't pass up the deal. I have had excellent...

Great bass without being "the idiot at the stoplight with the subwoofer"

Sun, 7 Aug 2005 03:57:37 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author macaddiict - So you have an okay head unit and just put in new speakers, but you still want some bass? Or does your factory system need some help in the lower range? This is what you need. I've had my Bazooka tube about 6 months now and I don't think I would be...

The best computer I've ever owned

Sun, 7 Aug 2005 03:29:26 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author macaddiict - Let me be honest - I'm pretty picky. I love Macs and have had about 8 over the years, all of which have been pretty good. I've also had about the same number of PCs, although I haven't liked them as much. Without a doubt, the new iMac G5 is the best...

Great for older eyes

Sun, 7 Aug 2005 00:24:24 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author macaddiict - I purchased this Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S60 for my parents, but have been using it extensively for the last week to see how it performs. I have owned both Kodak and Nikon brand digital cameras in the past, and had high expectations for this Sony. The...

Amazon.com: Best price around, quick (free!) shipping

Wed, 24 Nov 2004 08:22:42 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author macaddiict - I've used the Amazon site about 15 times now and really enjoy it. The online site is easy to navigate and it seems to be the Wal-Mart of online stores... I rarely find a lower price than the Amazon price, especially when it comes to cell phone products...

Simply Amazing (and dorky looking!)

Wed, 24 Nov 2004 08:17:39 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author macaddiict - These still amaze me. I bought them after searching the web for reviews of portable headphones with good bass. You can scour the web and the only negative thing you'll hear about these PortaPros is that they're not the most stylin' phones around. They...

Sprint Mobile Phone Service in Oklahoma City: Unbelievable call quality, good plans

Wed, 24 Nov 2004 08:03:21 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author macaddiict - I spend about half of the year in the OKC metro area and have been very pleased with my Sprint PCS service while there. People never say I'm breaking up and it usually is so clear it sounds like a home phone. The only time I get annoying cell phone...

Sprint Mobile Phone Service in Dallas/Fort Worth: Honest service maps, good plans, cool phones

Wed, 24 Nov 2004 07:50:28 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author macaddiict - I've been very happy with my Sprint service in the DFW area. I spend about half of my time in the metro and the rest of the time in Oklahoma City. Both areas are covered very well and I have never recieved a bill with fees I didn't expect. As...

Prepare to enjoy music more than ever...

Wed, 24 Nov 2004 07:22:16 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author macaddiict - In short, the iPod is an incredibly useful music player and external hard drive. You can use it to listen to your favorite music and at the same time use it to store documents and files from your computer or transfer stuff between computers. The...

They Threw in the Towel

Sat, 17 May 2003 07:14:17 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author macaddiict - ... a free cleaning towellette that is. I don't usually give any extra thought to little extras like this but the free towel (every accessory kit I've seen comes with one as a bonus) is just great. I know you're not here to read about some little...

What a cool camera!

Sat, 17 May 2003 06:40:21 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author macaddiict - I've had my Nikon CoolPix 2500 for around a year now and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. I can't imagine a better camera for someone who loves taking pictures and doesn't want to lug around a big camera.

Uniqueness

Microsoft Windows XP Professional (E85-00086) For PC: Why is it so expensive?

Sat, 17 May 2003 04:48:02 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author macaddiict - I wrote this review in May of 2002 after using Windows XP for about a month and thought I had published it on Epinions. It turns out I submitted it incorrectly, so here it is one year later! I've updated it with some recent thoughts and experiences. I...

Plastic on Wheels - My 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix GT

Thu, 15 May 2003 04:05:53 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author macaddiict -

A Few Good Words...

There are a few things I really like about this car. It was somewhat

of a compulsive buy... our trusty 1994 Dodge Caravan showed signs of transmission

trouble and GM's tempting 0% financing offer was...

This product makes Kodak look bad

Sun, 27 Apr 2003 03:55:30 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author macaddiict - I purchased this printer as a package deal with my digital camera. I already had an HP color inkjet, so I really didn't need this Kodak Personal Print Maker 200, but I figured it would be useful and better than my old HP. Boy was I wrong!

Go with an Authentic Palm

Wed, 23 Apr 2003 07:05:43 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author macaddiict - I went to Best Buy planning to buy a Palm V series but the low price and long list of features for the Sony Clie SL-10 lured me into a compulsive purchase.

After just a day or two of use, I found out why Palm was still the hardware *and*...

Happy Camper

Fri, 26 Jul 2002 05:01:52 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author macaddiict - Installation

Can you go wrong with a name like Infinity? Well, when I first installed these 4x6" plate speakers into my 1993 Chevrolet Blazer the sound I got wasn't near what I expected. The installation just wasn't meant to be; I had to melt...
