    Yeah, now I feel safer!

    Gotta keep in mind that in Chico is a University of California campus. I'm sure that the law was because an aspiring student built, or was thinking about building a nuclear reactor in his dorm room or fraternity house. Silly college students!

    Turbines and Electric Vehicles

    I totally agree that electric cars are not "green" - it takes a lot of fossil fuels to make them, ship them, etc. that there is nothing green about them. Wind turbines that we have here in California in the Altamont Pass take so much fossil fuels to get them there and installed, it will take to...

    Turbines and Electric Vehicles

    I was thinking that with all the research that Chrysler put into turbines in the 1960's and almost putting them in cars on the show room floors, why do they not grab that research off the shelf and put turbines in their small cars and compete in the electric car market? I know that there are...

    MP3 Player Question

    M.A.S.H. fans,lol....?

    Love the show! The movie is definately different than the TV show, but both are great. I saw a TV Land special once where they talked with the producers of the TV Show and the TV Show actors, and the producers said they thought the movie was great and it would transfer to TV well, but the...

    Wildlife webcam or IPcam question

    Hello All, I've recently discovered that an owl has made it's nest in my attic! According to someone we know who knows more about owl's than me says it's a Western Screech Owl. I thought it would be a great idea to put up a web cam to watch this momma hatch her eggs, but it's something I've...

    Aerosol Wax?

    Has anyone ever used an aerosol car cleaner and wax from these folks: www.fastwax.com? They were doing a special outside my local Sams Club a couple of days ago and was wondering if their stuff was any good. Washing a car without water? Sounds interesting. Let me know what your experience...

    How many members can currently afford to work on their project car?

    Haven't had much money to spend over the last couple of years, but hoping to do some maintenance and repairs this year! My Daily Driver needs some attention as well, so I'll need to make sure I have an alternative if I can't get the repairs on the daily driver done in a weekend!

    Marriage/relationship question

    I don't think that a marriage and a relationship are two different things. You have to work on a marriage just like you work on a relationship - whether it's with someone of the same sex as you or the opposite sex. You get together with the guys to do what - work on cars, golf, or whatever -...

    Dodge in NASCAR 2013?

    With a Dodge in the running for the Championship this year, it would be sad if Dodge isn't in Nascar next year. But I guess it's more of a business decision than anything else.

    iPhone Question

    I was wondering what you are using to protect your iPhones? I've looked at some that have batteries integrated into them like a mophie, but those usually cover up the bottom of the iPhone so you can't put it on a dock to play your MP3's or charge it. So I'm curious, what are you using?

    Bought an actual working record player today...

    My dad has Pioneer turntable that he bought in the late 80's - as well as a Technics that he bought in the late 60's. Haven't used either in quite a long time. Turned on the Pioneer a couple of months ago and made a MP3 recording of some of his records to play at a fundraiser for my oldest...

    Big Bond fan here! Totally agree with ifitsgotwheels and ocdart. I have them all on either VHS or DVD and watch them occassionally. I used to watch several Bond movies on a Saturday while I was folding clothes while my three boys were little. They may wander in the living room, and then back...

    New ad format

    I don't mind the double adds while viewing the site on my widescreen PC Monitor. However, printing out a thread because I've found something I want to keep for reference, the adds take up most of the page... Just my two cents worth.

    Any luck finding Ammo?

    I thought that I had heard that the current Administration had forbidden selling re-loads. I don't have a gun, so I'm just going on hear say here... I don't see why you couldn't re-load your own brass though.

    suggestions on dd car

    The 300zx cars are fun to drive, but they can also be expensive to maintain - as was said earlier. I have an 86 300zx 2+2 (means it has a backseat and can handle four people 2 in the front and two in the back) with the GLL package = Digital Dash and digital climate control. What you are...

    this city sucks

    Interesting idea. These cans have a compactor inside them so they don't have to emptied as often by city workers. Check out these stories: http://www.usatoday.com/money/industries/environment/2009-07-23-philadelphia-solar-trash-cans_N.htm...

    This aint right is it?

    No joke. We have the same kinda thing here in California. My dad was driving his 1971 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia and it has an oil leak from his push rod tubes that drips onto his exhaust, so driving down the freeway he leaves a smoke trail. He only drives the car when necessary - when either...

    Whats the deal with all the single Moms?

    I've done some thinking on this subject since I first saw it and i think it can be summed up in one word - respect. Respect for your elders, your peers, and the next generation. There are a lot of people in my generation that were not raised to respect authority figures - either their parents...

    My other car is a 1986 Nissan 300ZX 2+2 NA = Normally Aspirated. I bought it for $600 because it has a blown motor = Interferance Enging and the previous owner had tried to change it and didn't get everything back in the correct place and when he went to start it the piston's hit the valves...
