I would be careful bossy. There have been a lot of scams taking place on that subreddit recently, here's part of the mod's anti scam guide:

" Identifying a scammer
1. There's no 100% efficient method to identify a scammer, but here are some tips ;
2. Did he contact you exclusively via PM ?
3. Ask him to make a post about the item he's selling.
4. Seller only accepts
Cryptocurrencies (ie : Bitcoins, DogeCoins, GabeCoins, etc..)
Google Wallet
Amazon Payments
5. Seller has a recent account ? (Less than 6 months)
6. Seller only have a few confirmed sales/purchases/trades ? (Less than 5-10)"

We should put this in the Classified section, some good pointers there.

I have bought/sold a ton of stuff on HardwareSwap and had great experiences every time. I only do verified paypal.

 

[Mirakledba]

I just drove my dad's car lol. Was awesome

 

[tiny voices]

The tesla? Nice. Where did you drive it?

 

[Pcbuilder123]

Sold on hardwareswap once, bought once, and nothing to say but good things. I'm waiting till summer is over to resume, I guess people scam others with their free time more?

 

[Mirakledba]

Yeah the tesla. I drove it from a spot in the neighbour hood to the house...we were coming back from prayer and he had said earlier that I he would let me drive it but not today...suddenly he stops. Ok. drive. Haha that was for my 18 year old brother who drove probably 20 feet cause he was afraid. My dad was screaming and said " PUT YOUR FOOT ON THE BREAK AND CLICK THE PARK BUTTON!! " Cause in the tesla the shifter is like this http://image.motortrend.com/f/60269490/2013-Tesla-Model-S-shifter-view.jpg


and my bro's hand was shaking and he was nervous and couldnt find that button on top xD After that my dad let me drive it all the way to the house and he put my profile on (Own profile so mirrors and seat and everything adjusts for you) cause I had set it up before. Hes like "Dont be too cocky" Haha but i was chill and drove it fine. I wasnt use to the break and accelerator response but it was a smooth ride. Steering was great.

Nice. Driving different cars is important. Helps you learn that not all cars feel the same at all. The accelerator in the tesla is very strange compared to standard cars. I distinctly remember that from when I drove them.

Yeah, especially with that instant torque and no gears. Its linear, not punctuated with pauses for the gears to shift.

 

[Mirakledba]

Just drove my moms car. Im so pissed...My bro said "WHY DO YOU ALWAYS TAKE HIM DRIVING HE HAS 6 MONTHS TILL HE CAN GET HIS LICENCE!!! (December)" Actually, now, its 4 months, and I need the driving before my next lesson....ever since he got his permit yesterday, he's been all mister im the older one with priority....Gosh...Sorry for the rant

 

[Bossyfins]

^ Pissed? I'd be annoyed. LOL

But the question is, are you pretty comfortable for your test?

 

[Mirakledba]

Drivers test? Yes I am. I feel like I could take it now and pass...but I need more actual school training to even be allowed to....

Doing AP US history summer work...

 

[Turb0Yoda]

For our APUSH work, we have 20-ish ID's, a movie poster(relating to the thirteen colonies, doing Virginia and Tobacco with Clint Eastwood), and this chart/map thing....

I can't figure out where the Acura's hood ends. In other cars, it's easy, but this one....

LOLWHAT. Did the Power Supply kill something or what??

http://inlandempire.craigslist.org/cto/5140129647.html
Minor damage... Looks like the radiator might have a slight dent in it.

^Much Sarcasm

 

[Mirakledba]

Hahaha it says 8 bucks on top.

 

[RazerZ]

^ A cheap trick craigslist sellers use so that their post will come up first when you sort price by ascending order.

 

[Mirakledba]

Pathetic

Lol totaled base model v6 Camaro. It isn't worth close to what he says it's value is based on his math.

I'm still searching for the Z77 mITX motherboard I want before I can start building my ITX system. After that all I need is the case and PSU and I am set!

 

[tiny voices]

In a few days I will be the proud new owner of a Chinese market only 24 power phase EATX monster of a Z77 board. VERY excited.

Cool.

Got any pictures?

 

[tiny voices]

Not yet. It is a Zotac ZT Crown U1d.

http://www.techpowerup.com/163885/zotac-unveils-zt-z77-u1d-superoverclock-high-end-motherboard.html

It is a Chinese market only board that someone is selling new through Amazon for $90. The BIOS and manual and driver disks are 100% chinese though so that will be fun. :lol:

Should be here next Friday!

 

[nukemaster]

Looking forward to seeing that system.

 

[RazerZ]

Same here. Any plans to upgrade your cooler?
