    Did you get the 4.3 V6? Serious motor when modified. Torque forever. Like the Syclone.

    All the second generation (1995-2006) Blazers came with the 4.3L V6, 190Hp and 250 lb·ft of torque. Mine is all stock right now but in the summer I plan on a CAI, a performance chip and maybe a new exhaust system.

    My Fiat Bravo - 1.4L 110kw (150hp). Once I manage to find 3000,- (around 250GBP) spare, i will remap it. 130kw then, and a Golf GTI chasing 7.2s 0-100km/h... from a 1.4L turbo

    I'd say my MacBook Pro, but that was bought in 2010's first week.

    American cars are slow hehehe.... *runs*

    My best purchase has to be my lovely focus. I am also fond of my watercooling loop, but its a love hate relationship. I can't help but think it probably would have been quieter, neater and a hell of a lot cheaper just to get a better cpu cooler :p

    You say that, but the HTC Magic has probably had more of an impact on my life. I've never had a phone that's quite so useful!

    I can't really think of anything significant I bought in 2009, probably E8400+DFI X48+4GB RAM. Much needed replacements for a S939 rig.

    Hoping for a better 2010 though. :D

    I was wondering how long it was going to take for someone to mention a pet.

    I almost forgot about my Dell U2410, it was good but not as good as the SUV :rock:

    Anything I bought for my new baby (3 weeks old), maybe the Sigma 50mm Macro or at a push the GTX275 OC which finally meant I could give Crysis a proper go.
