    NHRA National Event Coming To New England In 2013!!!

    Actually I liked the IHRA National that used to be at NE Dragway. The IHRA ProMods, ProStocks and Nitro Harleys are much more entertaining but it will NE nice to have a national event again.

    Which GPS?

    I have 2 TomToms and the MotionX on my iPhone. Both are equally good. Going the iPhone route it only down loads the maps necessary for the trip so you could if you deviate from your planned route and don't have phone coverage you could wind up without a map. My brother has a Garmin and it is...

    Car models on aircleaners??

    I don't find a model of the car objectionable but I definitely don't like the 2' dolls that are posed leaning on their arms against a bumper. The latest thing is a model of a dog with his leg lifted like he is peeing posed next to one of the tires. I am always tempted to take a squirt right...

    Simvastin

    My doctor started me on Lipitor but when my insurance wouldn't pay for it any more he switched me to Simvastatin. I have been on it for a number if years with no side effects but I take a much lower dose than what was in the linked article. I keep saying I am going to get my weight back down...

    Bought the Wife a new set of Wheels!!

    I am not sure if it's vacuum or electrically operated but in either case the computer controls it and I can't imagine that temperature is not one of the control inputs. I would also imagine that the Ford engineers are smart enough to make the default position open so if the control mechanism...

    Bought the Wife a new set of Wheels!!

    Yea we looked at pictures of the ST and sure is going to be something BUT it's only going to be available with a manual tranny and that won't work for the wife. It was the same issue with the Subaru WRX, manual only.

    Dupont Paint Costs!! Sticker Shock!

    Do you really need a gallon? The Chroma Base mixes 1:1 with reducer so a gallon makes 2 gallons of spray-able material. Dupont has a lower cost line called Nason and it's decent stuff.

    Bought the Wife a new set of Wheels!!

    My wife has been wanting a new car and we have been checking out various different brands. I really wanted to decide that a mopar was the right choice but she wanted something small like her current PT Cruiser and we were both luke warm about the Caliber. So this is her new ride. A 2012 Ford...

    Ethanol free gas inthe US

    Actually that got shot down. SEMA did a good job of lobbing to stop it until there has been adequate research on the effects.

    2011 Dodge Charger - car ****

    I think everyone has to get over the 4dr thing. The sales figures have already proven that it was the absolutely the right decision on Chrysler's part. It lights years better looking than anything from the mid 70's through late 80's that carried a Charger name plate and the 11 is even better.

    Need info on getting a Massachusetts title

    If the bill of sale you have states its for parts only you may wind up with a salvage title. You will also likely have to pay Mass Sales Tax which will be based on the book value of the vehicle. I once ( quite a few years ago) bought a dirt bike from a guy in CT that did not have a title and...

    NEW NASCAR Points System?

    The only reason they expanded the chase drivers to 12 was Tony Stewart didn't make the chase after having one the championship the previous year. I do like the idea of the wild card for drivers that have won races though. The rest of the points changes are just bogus. What difference is...

    Just Changed Dog Food! Canidae

    The good brands of food are much more digestable so your 24% protien is likely more like a crappy food with 30%. One other thing I didn't mention before is; my Dachsund is a real chow hound and would so fat he wouldn't be able to walk if we didn't watch what he eats closely. One of the...

    Just Changed Dog Food! Canidae

    Here is a good web page that talks about what is good and bad in dog food; http://www.dogfoodscoop.com/dog-food-comparison.html They rate the food from 0 to 5 scoops with zero being don't feed it to a dead dog and 5 being you can't do better. It is amazing that all the brands everyone knows...

    Ice Driving! Which engine layout is best?

    I have been driving in New England winter for 40 years now and have had lots of experience with both RWD, FWD and 4WD. Each has their own handling pecularities. Typically RWD cars don't have as much weight over the rear wheels as the front wheels so the back end will break loose and come...

    parents, what's your take on this?

    In my neck of the woods parents interfering with youth sports got to be enough of a problem (worest case; two fathers got in a beef and one killed the other) that the rules of conduct are pretty consistent across all the youth sports. If a parent interferes with the game, officiating or disrupts...

    Moving my tool box

    Going from one garage with a lift to another you can use the arm of a two post to lift it up then back pick under and lower the lift and drive out. My kids Snap On box is about 6 ft long and has to be moved by a ramp truck. Don't think you could pick up that sucker empty.

    NFL playoffs who do you like???

    I will agree the game won't be a 45 to 3 route but the out come will be the same, a Pats win. The Jets barely squeaked by the Colts who were playing with a second and third string defense. Sanchez is the one of the worest if not the worset starting quarterbacks in the NFL. His rating against...

    NFL playoffs who do you like???

    I want to see the Jets over the Colts too just so the Pats can clean their clock again the following week!

    The new '11 Charger

    Couldn't agree more! They built many many more of the smog and FWD Chargers than the 68-72 everyone wants to compare the current Charger too. As for whether it was the right decision to make the car a 4 door or not I think the sales figures have proven that it was. As for the styling of the...

    Need feedback on Netflix

    I had Netflix for a couple of years and my biggest complaint was that it was 3-4 months after a movie was released onto DVD before it show up on Netflix. My moving watching is based on seeing commercial trailer ads on TV so I typically would forget about a movie before Netflix would have it or...

    GB Packers In The Playoffs!!!!

    I agree the Pats should go all the way but I am not forgetting 07 when the went 18-0 and lost the only game that really counted! I would venture a gues they will be playing either the Falcons or Eagles in the Superbowl.

    F at&t!!!!!!!

    I switched from Sprint to ATT about 4.5 years ago. All I can say is I have been all over the US, to Alaska, major cities in Canada and to a number places in the Carribiean and have never had an issue with coverage or dropped calls. I can't say the same for Sprint. Overall I am quite happy with...
