    Ever Have A Great Idea, And Find You Are Too Late?

    About 4 years ago I had the idea of a USB port on the front of car stereos. Everyone thought it was stupid. My latest idea is bluetooth in digital cameras. It would be nice when you see a friend has a great picture on their camera, to bluetooth it over to your camera. Could be done in a...

    Electric vehicles - not just compact sedans any more!

    I remember reading, GM took back all the cars, by tow truck, and had all the EV1's crushed. I find it hard to believe no one claimed their EV1 was stolen, and stuck it in their grandparents barn somewhere. :D Actually i find it hard to believe one really wasn't stolen.

    What OS Do you Use: Windows, Mac OS, or Linux?

    i use xp and ubuntu linux. linux boots quite a bit faster than windows, and just a few months ago made great strides forward. big thing was no flash support in browsers but that has been resolved. a stock install of linux gives you everything you need for internet use. email, yahoo im, bit...

    RIP GM 3800

    just for reference, i rented a kia rio with the tiny little 4 banger for a trip, and the best it could do was 35 mpg. the 3800 almost got that in cars 3 times heavier. the 3800 is a great motor, lots of Fiero guys swap them into their cars. as far as the canyon/colorado goes, a guy i know is...

    Fast and Furious 4 ... now with GNX

    How many other movies are there with grand nationals? i can only think of one right now, but i swear i used to be abel to name a couple more. the one i can recall is F/X 2, a really cheesy movie. But the bad guy has a beautiful gray T-Type.

    Kirby: A Real Man's Vacuum!

    I used to sell them when I couldnt find any other work. Hey you do what you have to do to pay the bills. Anyway, I ran across many people who were still running ancient Kirbys. Of course I did my job and sold them the new one anyway. A lot of times the old ones just needed a new belt!! However I...

    soo my car doesnt like to turn right..(as in left or right)

    i had the same thing happen to me. Turns out on hard turns, brake fluid was getting into a vacuum line and choking the engine. Only did it on turns at a decent pace. Not braking or accelerating. I don't know how they fixed it since I just dropped it off at the time, but they said that's...

    HEY YALL NEW FELLER FROM KENTUCKY

    Nobody welcomed me in my first post so let me be the first to say welcome. Im curious why you chose to stay with those old heads considering all the other work you put into the motor. I had a 406 also. First i went with gmpp vortec heads which have a lot of bang for the buck. I eventually went...

    omg roof rot...

    I have the famous wet floor in the back problem too. I always thought it was the door seal, since a little water comes in when i take it thru the car wash. Are these 'closed at the factory' floor drains capable of being opened up again?

    the baby diesel

    I agree, its also why supercars like the lambo are absolutely gigantic now. Its all about surviving a crash. look at the size of the Ford GT. The guy on Top Gear bought one and found he couldn't fit into some parking garages with it.

    the baby diesel

    Well uncletruck i think it is safe to say if you ever tried to get a job as a motivational speaker , you would be a spectacular failure. Lol. Did you tell your kids if they tried hard enough they could accomplish anything or did you tell them flipping burgers is good enough. Heh ah man im just...

    the baby diesel

    Is anyone thinking about throwing in the 'Mini Max' Duramax 4.5L turbodiesel that's on its way? With a simple Edge programmer and an extremely robust driveline, that could be the combination to beat on the street and the drag strip. You've all seen the youtube videos of huge crewcab diesel...

    Warm up?

    I use a remote start and everything ive read says its the worst thing for a car. The experts say you should be driving the car within five seconds of starting it in cold weather. In extremely cold they say no more than thirty seconds. Something to do with it takes a car much longer to warm up at...

    long time listener, first time caller

    That's not true, I just found the site today. But I love that line so I use it all the time. Anyway, I'm tired of the wheels on my 87 Supreme. A friend warned me I would not have the patience to maintain polished aluminum. However, I also didn't have the patience to wait two weeks to get the...
