My Cell is Posessed

I have a nice all Black Samsung P207. Great phone, considering i have been using a Motorola v60i which gave me no coverage newhere. My new phone gives me coverage in my basement and everywhere... Gotta thank my ex for pissing me off and causing me to chuck my phone so i could get a new one... Now for some odd reason, my phone logs/timers, get reset everytime they reach about 25 hours... I have never seen my timers exceed 30 hours... I think this is strange and does anyone else have this problem with their phone?

the amount they'll charge you to get it repaired is not worth it.

That's why I drive VW rabbits. Only 2 things ever break. And I can fix both of them blind folded.

They are getting VERY rare. I just got a 1983 GTI from BC, and I've got a 1984 LS with about 140,000 kms on it. But they are probably the best two in this area. In Canada, they are very rough generally, but the floors are fairly easy to replace, and the subframes don't tend to rust. My LS is starting to rust a bit underneath the rear bumper mounst, but that area is a bolt in/out peice. Parts are dirt cheap. A good 2l 16v engine generally goes for around 400- 1000 dollars. Wiring is simple.
The main reason they have such a following in the States is the handling, and ease of repair. It's so easy to throw in a stock 2l 16v engine. If you do that swap, you go from a stock 80 hp, 95 ftlb car, to a 150 hp , 165 ft lb car. And when the car weighs 2100 lbs, with full interior, well do the math. FAST. Throw in a set of Nuespeed sofsport springs, and a set of 14" wheels, with 185/60r14 tires, and it'll lift the inside rear tires on bends. With suspension done up a little further, almost nothing can touch them in autocross, except for older minis, and some older civics. Personally, it's my favorite car, and I'll keep looking for another one all the time. The 2 main things that break are the front and rear engine mounts. These are weak spots, and there is really no way to improve on them. Welding them makes the car vibrate so bad, your fillings fall out, and polyeurathane ones break just as easily as stock ones. When someone figures out how to make one that doesn't break, I'll name them for a Nobel prize.
And Zapa, the backseat is POINTLESS. They are however quite spacious, and easy to do that in the front... just the seats are hard to recline. Not that I would know.
