^^ Feezy needs to learn them how to drive lowered cars. That rat rod was painful to watch. And the Aventador was pretty sexy, especially being able to raise it up to go over train tracks and stuff. When I heard that, I immediately thought of Feezy reacting to being able to put that in his car!
As for Metro - it's a really small part of the UI. I wouldn't consider it a total overhaul. It's more of a redesign than anything. The desktop looks almost completely like Windows 7, and if I added in the start button (DisplayFusion already does that for my dual-monitor taskbar), most people would be hard-pressed to tell the difference. As for the tiles? I like having a weather tile, and the apps are pretty sweet. Cloud computing is awesome, and being able to see all my photos with the touch of a button is pretty awesome.
As for the pressing the start menu button... the thing that's wrong with it (or at least complaining about it) is that you've had a Windows key on your keyboard since the 90's (came out before Windows 95). If you're complaining that you don't have one, then like I said, you're kind of not adaptable to change. It's been there for almost 2 decades and people are complaining because there isn't one to click on? Smh.
As I've said, I love Win8's performance. Metro is a very small part of my day-to-day usage. I don't really mind it at all. I can find my stuff just as fast as I could on Win7, but the computer is way more responsive. Is it perfect? Not at all, but it's definitely a step in the right direction, IMO.
I'd give it another crack if Metro is really what turned you away, because honestly, you can pretty much get away with never using it if you don't want. Get DisplayFusion, and you can even get an old school Start Menu.

I know prices had been going up some for s2k's but I didn't realize how much. I KBB'd mine (MY00 71k) just out of curiosity and it booked at $16,978!!
HAHAHA...granted, that's in "excellent" condition but still...

Less than 5% of vehicles on road are "excellent". Also, NADA is typically more accurate than KBB. Edmunds is also a pretty good reference. Usually average all 3, you'll have a fairly accurate amount.

What are you talking about? $500 hardtop seems legit.
