Default The UPS guy and FedEx guy got in a fight on my doorstep today...

At least I think they did, because according to the tracking both my Rims (via UPS) and my DVD burner (via FedEx) arrived at approximately 3:00pm today. :eek3:

This is what I came home to:



Bought these used from a guy on ClubRSX for $1000 + shipping w/Bridgestone Potenza S-03s. They're in great shape. No curb marks or scratches whatsoever. Not a bad deal, especially considering TireRack stopped carrying these rims. I just have to wait for it to stop snowing now to put them on. Stupid Colorado weather.





A new DVD burner to help me backup files, audio, movies, etc. NEC-3520A



Looks pretty good in my PC case (top optical drive)



Only after I got this did I realize it was the OEM model. Can anybody recommend any good DVD burning and/or ripping programs? I've got some scratched up DVDs I want to see if I can resuscitate..

Soooo..... tracking indicates that the packages might have arrived around the same time.... but no fight.

Nero is your DVD/CD burning friend. Use nothing else.

Where's that back button...... ahhh

get a dvd doctor.... if you try to copy you'll just rip all those read errors and burn them to a dvd effectively wasting a disc.

Is that the one that tries to scrub off the imperfections on a disc? I've used that on CDs before and all it did was make them worse.

you obviously didn't do it right

once it's done removing the scratches you have to buff the surface out with one of those felt pads that comes with it. otherwise it won't work at all. minor scratches shouldn't warrant it's use and can be corrected with a thin coat of turtle wax.

That's a definite possibility. I think a buddy just gave it to me, and I didn't have any directions to go on. I don't think I ever buffed it out after doing the scrubbing part.

I did too. I've wanted these rims since 2001, back when I first got my Integra. This is just the first time I've been able to afford them. It's a good thing they still look good on the RSX, it made my rim shopping much easier.

So apparently UPS got there before FedEx did....
