I had a set of 795 tires on my wifes CRV - they were rated for 80k (or close to it) and they lasted every bit of it.. The second set didnt last that long, but she was driving more locally than highway by then. I have a set of E rated on my 3/4 ton Dodge they seem to be holding up pretty well...

My MIL had it done and she has lost weight but she has learned to eat around it.. there was a newspaper article a while back about all the complications that arise from lapband or gastric bypass surgery.. A lady at work had to have emergency surgery because of a twisted intestine over 2 yrs...

I installed a B & M drain plug in my transmission pan and it will not quit leaking from the drain plug.. It is NOT leaking around the mounting bolts, just around the removable drain bolt/plug.. its not dripping a lot, maybe a t-spoon every couple days or so.. I have tightened several times and...
