I've read a few of the books by Lee Child, and watched all of season 1 on Prime. Decent escapism entertainment IMO. Wife REALLY likes Reacher. Go figure....

Yes. Yes I do. Some are ancient. Some I don't even know what they are anymore. Delete them when I click on them (once in a blue-moon) and they won't open. But not until. Like this one...

07 Silverado Classic. Fuel pump is in the tank. What is a reasonable estimate for parts and labor to replace the fuel pump?

Some of you mechanics, what is a fair price, parts and labor? 191,000 miles. This will be the 2nd time. 1st was at 100,000. Is this an interference engine? If my memory serves me, I believe it is.

I've just read a couple of threads on this that were about a year old. Faves were PPG, Sherwin Williams, Behr, Benjamin Moore, not necessarily in that order. Some say get their best paints, some say mid to upper mid price range. And always buy on sale. (Sounds just like oil!) We do not have an...

Is there a good site for researching "who owns who" in the corporate world? For instance, many years ago Kawasaki motorcycles was owned by a group that also made nuclear submarines. I know that stock/trading sites like Yahoo, etc, can be helpful, but sometimes aren't always specific about a...

In an ad for a car: "No stereo but great speakers!" I gotta remember that one. That's good. I'm inspired. A/C broke but fan works great. Dings and scratches everywhere but paint still shines. Minor flood damage but T-tops don't leak. Wheel bearing making noise but not noticeable with...

IM SELLING A NICE XXXXXX , POWER EVERYTHING, TINTED WINDOWS, A/C WORKS FINE, IDEAL FOR A FAMILY TRAVEL, 77000 MILES IF YOU ARE INTERESTING CONTACT ME XXX XXXX Have no idea if I'm interesting enough to buy his/her mini-van. I don't even play an instrument. Wasn't into sports in high school. Got...

Not making this up. Here's the description for an older Taurus: "Car doesnt start. 185,000 miles. Will run good when fixed. Blown Head Gasket. Also maybe transmission. Interior is in moderate condition. All around in good shape when running." High miles, won't start, trashed motor and...

When you fire up your computer, what have you selected for your homepage? Change it very often? I've had Drudge Report for many years.

Bought a 93 Goldwing last week-end to tool around on. It came with the 1993 Service Manual - not the owners manual. This thing is about 3 inches thick in a 7-ring binder. PO apparently did not keep it safe and dry. Mold all over the edges and lots of pages stuck together from moisture/humidity...

Scored 11 quarts at Advance Auto for $0.05/qt. Not a misprint. A nickel a quart on clearance. No starburst symbol, no 'S' or 'C' rating of any kind. A couple of direct quotes from the back on the quart container: "Mobil 1 Racing 0W-30 is especially recommended for supercharged, turbo charged...

Was wondering if anyone was considering taking advantage of the soon to be started (July 23?) Cash For Clunkers program? Officially its known as CARS. If you have a qualifying older vehicle, you may receive either $3500 or $4500 for it when traded in on a qualifying new vehicle - even if your...

May go to look at a 93 Volvo 240 sedan (not wagon), 5spd, 98K, supposedly in decent condition, used as daily driver. Odo works, AC cold, no rust on body. $1500. What to look for, beware of, etc? I know nothing about Volvo's. Talk to me.

3.0 Vulcan, just had the head gaskets replaced @ 195K. New thermostat went bad within 2 days - replaced. Now its obvious not getting circulation through the heater core. Hose-in hot, hose-out cold, little heat inside car. Had a flush done. Wasted money. Old Wynn's unit that basically did...

This company was mentioned in another thread. Their claim puzzles me. A statement is repeatedly made to the effect that they use a new Group II base, and that it is "Better Than Synthetic". (No link because they sell product.) Is there something I'm missing here? I'm not necessarily a synthetic...

Open to your thoughts on finding the best rates/terms on a mortgage. May be purchasing a house soon. I know, the market is horrible. But that's why I'm buying!

Ordered a quart some weeks ago and have been using it in 2 vehicles. 92 Olds Silhouette (the plastic anteater), 3.8, 237K. 98 Mercury Sable, 3.0, 155k. The van, my daily driver, has consistently averaged 20mpg most of its life. The Sable, the wife's daily driver, typically got 23mpg. The van...
