mk_378 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 I like the extra headlights on the Fiat. Sort of like the Family Truckster. Light green is not the color to buy though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cv91915 Posted August 24, 2015 Author Share Posted August 24, 2015 I'd just reset and try again and if that doesn't work, do a free upgrade to Win 10 from scratch Just started installing update 1 of 155 when I tried to reboot after almost 30 hours. Dude.....Cappy knows what he is talking about. Format and re-install. But I'm on a roll. . Please tell me it's finished 154 of the updates failed while I has having brunch with a friend. I just ran a Microsoft diagnostic tool on Windows Update (a different tool this time), which "fixed" several unnamed issues, and 153 of the updates got queued back up up. I just rebooted and it's now taking a stab at the first 73 of those now. It's on #9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nateinva Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 I have a Win7 desktop that gets little use, mainly for those rare occasions where I need a dedicated Windows machine......rooting Amdroid phones, etc. It was running fine for two years, windows update ran a botched update in the background and put the computer in a permanent bootloop. It's sad that it can't recover after bs like this. I had to wipe and reinstall. What a joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Doctor Frost Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 My everyday laptop is almost 5 years old and running on Win7. I've never really had an issue with it. It's not as quick as it once was, but that's to be expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cv91915 Posted August 24, 2015 Author Share Posted August 24, 2015 Actually, if if weren't for the styling, the Aztek would have been known as a great crossover. So many usable features. And, really, there are uglier cars on the road. Just look at any Nissan today. The Cube? Juke? Or some of the Fiats. Or the Honda Element. Yeah...the Aztek isn't that bad compared to any of them. They're all bad. The new Murano is way better looking now. I'll give Nissan that. I picture you in either a red 370Z coupe or a brown Mercury Topaz.

Bad Doctor Frost Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 The Murano is still uglier than sin, though. When it came out in '05 it looked like a shoe. Now it looks like a melted shoe. And they still have that awful VQ engine that sounds like a wookie, along with those terribad CVTs. Nissan sure has lost their way since the mid 90s when they were Japan's performance brand.

Bad Doctor Frost Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 <image removed to reduce risk of vomiting> There's a seafoam green Murano CrossCabriolet parked in the parking ramp every day. The ugliest car, in the ugliest color. I swear, the buyer would've had to had Helen Keller's vision to think it was a good buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually drove one. It drives even worse than it looks. The sales guy kept telling me if I bought it that day I could be the first person to register one in California.

cv91915 Posted August 24, 2015 Author Share Posted August 24, 2015 Which reminds me... I was doing some car research last night, and now a good percentage of the banner ads I am seeing on CB are San Diego car dealers who want to sell me a used Chrysler Town & Country.

giraffy Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 (edited) My 16yr old is in Hawaii with her cross country team. Everything there is "fine". How was snorkeling? Fine. Waterfall swimming? Fine. Jungle hike? Fine. Shaved ice? Fine. Diamondhead? Fine. Their race (which she WON)? Fine. Thunk. Thunk. Thunk.
