    U.s.a. U.s.a. U.s.a.

    The Ryder Cup is finally back on this side of the pond. What an exciting day to be an American golf fan, and the players provided no shortage of story lines to follow. The brash, confident youngster Anthony Kim totally pummels Sergio Garcia in the day's first match. Kentucky natives Kenny Perry...

    Oil

    I have a friend that just bought an E450 with a V-10. It came with synthetic oil. He's wondering if he's stuck with synthetic or can he switch after his warranty is up. I told him I thought making a switch would be O.K., but that I would seek guidance from those more knowledgeable on such...

    DNC in Denver

    Does anyone else find it odd that the Denver Chief of Police decided not to enforce marijuana laws during the convention? Will Tommy Chong make a key note speech? Will Snoop Dog be the musical guest? Will Wille Nelson stumble out of his bus for an appearance? Will there be pizza and ice cream...

    Mercedes 6-speed auto shift

    I've got a bit of down time as my truck sits in Columbus waiting for a new transmission to arrive. Has anyone else had a premature failure with this trans or heard of it happening? I hope this isn't like the 7-speed deal...

    The Shark

    What a great story Greg Norman was this weekend. Once again, as so many times before, he couldn't close the deal on Sunday. But, to have a shot at being the oldest person to ever win a major after so many years away from competitive golf was remarkable. His tie for 3rd gives him a spot in next...

    Stop the presses! It's snowing!

    Well, I'm sitting here in Oak Grove, Mo. and I'm a bit frustrated that continuous coverage of a few inches of snow is preempting the supercross race. So, of course, I feel like I need to make fun of the talking heads doing the coverage. I do appreciate that having to talk for hours about a few...

    Canada FAST card

    A friend told me there is no more FAST card. Is this true? Mine expired this month and I received nothing from them for a renewal.

    Order of posts

    Would it be possible to have posts appear in the order that they come, instead of sometimes having them show up in the middle of a busy thread? I've seen it on other forums and I think it makes it easier to keep up and not miss something. The post being responded to, and that posts author, is...

    Aircards... again

    We've discussed them before, but I've seen changes in the way mine performs and wonder if others have, too. I'm with Alltel and was reasonably satisfied until the last few months. It never had broadband speed, but was good enough to do what I needed. What I'm seeing more and more is slower...

    The exciting world of a straight solo

    At the request of the Forums Administrator, and since I apparently have nothing better to do today(HELLO PAINESVILLE!!!!), here's a recap of my October. 10/1 Deliver early AM in Shadyside, Oh. Go to Cambridge to wait. Dispatched to Green, Oh(anyone ever heard of that?). 10/2 Deliver in...

    Thompson makes his announcement

    A Thompson/Gingrich ticket? Newt was the only Republican he mentioned by name on the Tonight show. I'm not ready to make final judgment on Thompson yet, but I think I'm going to end up liking him. I like politicians that can, at least, sound like they're speaking from the heart about their core...

    Jr. can't take the 8

    Seems like Teresa is shooting herself in the foot a bit with this one. But, the bigger issue is the bucks people have invested. In some cases, BIG bucks! What if you have one of those Monte Carlos, or one of those Volvos?

    2/100 of a second...

    ...the 07 car of Clint Bowyer crosses the finish line on its roof, what a finish. It sure would have been nice to see Martin finally win one, though.

    Another year for Favre

    Could he be hanging on a bit too long? It's hard to see one of the greats struggle, even if it's not all his fault. Watching Arnold Palmer in his last few years on the Seniors Tour was tough. It wasn't fun watching the King shoot in the 80's.

    Expediter Man Law

    What kind of rules can we come up with to govern ourselves? We don't need to take the "Man" part too seriously Ladies, feel free to join in. I'll start off with the first one. 1. Thou shalt not whine like a 3 year old to dispatch every 10 minutes in the middle of January.

    Fare Thee well, B.P.

    Benny Parsons passed Tuesday as a result of complications from cancer treatment. Phrases like "a truly class act" and a "genuinely kind and decent human being" are being used to describe him. He was absolutely my favorite among the current crop of NASCAR announcers. You could tell he was just...

    Anaheim I

    There's very little that Ricky Carmichael hasn't done in his career. He had his last chance to check winning Anaheim I off that list Saturday night. He came up one spot short. The podium was James Stewart, Carmichael, and a riding wounded Chad Reed. Has anyone ever heard of chipping a collar...

    Supercross season kicks off this weekend

    In today's USA Today sports section, supercross gets a story about the start of the season at the Rogers Centre in Toronto. Coverage is usually limited to results or a brief 6 or 7 sentence race report. I don't think the Motocross of Nations victory was even reported. This will be the third year...
