    Replace battery or not?

    Replace battery or not?

    Thanks all. I guess I am just trying to avoid dropping the change if I dont have to, but I guess 6 years is a good run woth an OEM battery. I think I will take it to have it load tested.

    Replace battery or not?

    If the crank is slower, would you consider this more of an indication of a dying battery over the technical checks? So the past 2 weeks the starter has cranked slower than it did previously. Car still starts but I thought I should look into a new battery. Pulled out my owners manual and it...

    Clay barring the new car. Any tips?

    Originally Posted By: bamorris2 2. If you drop the clay on the ground, throw it away. Clay does not release contaminants. So if you drop it, it will pick up very small particles of dirt, sand, etc, and this will cause marring in your paint, ranging from mild to very severe. BTW, autopia.org...

    Home lighting: Incandescent, CCFL, LED, Halogen?

    I run a mix of cold cathode tubes and LEDs everywhere but the bathroom and kitchen. I am a decent DIYer, so I did the LEDs myself using strips of varying lengths and 12" CCs. A pair of CCs w/ inverter is about $5 and strips of LEDs are almost as cheap. Monthly electric bill runs me less than...

    3,000 mile paranoia. Who has it here?

    Not 3k paranoia, but I do run full syn. and change it every 6k or so. Manual calls for 5k on dino. Im sure I could go longer, but I see it as cheap insurance and I like to do it.

    Mad-COW infection! In California!

    Typical mass-media scare tactics. Unless you eat the brains or the spinal column, its not a concern. The muscle meat is not connected to mad cow. http://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/mad-cow-disease-overview

    need a decent vac. cleaner............

    I paid about $200 for my Oreck and almost 15 years later it still works like a champ. Lightweight, good power (although a tad bit loud) and made in the USA.

    Cleaning engine bay

    Modern cars are quite water resistant under the hood. They will not be harmed by low pressure water. That said, I cover only my alt., battery and air intake with plastic bags. My method works well for lightly soiled compartments - cant comment on heavy grease/dirt. I only clean a cold engine...

    Plasma/LED/LCD BIG SCREENS..

    Another opinion for your consideration... If you want the best picture (especially w/ those BD), go plasma. The only consideration (as previously mentioned) is glare. Its not an issue for me since 95% of my viewing is at night, but because plasmas have glass screens, consider carefully where...
