    fuel additives and oil additives

    Same here, every tank, except that I also add Howes Meaner Cleaner to to the Power Service to keep the fuel tank minty fresh and the injectors lemony clean.

    WOW!! Time Mag HITS barry HARD!!

    Which kinda proves the point I've been trying to make all along, that the nonsense about his birth certificate and his college records and all the made up crap about Obama is meaningless, that he can, will, and does discredit himself enough, all on his own, without people using fabrications or...

    This should blow your minds

    Actually, we're talking about a hand-picked, highly selective, well crafted set of statistics that represents an astoundingly incomplete picture, presented expressly for the purpose of fostering hate towards a specific group of people. It is the age-old struggle of Christians versus...

    Now for winter, keeping warm

    Condensation occurs where moist air comes into contact with air, or a surface, which is at a lower temperature. Air contains water vapour in varying quantities, and its capacity to do so is related to its temperature, where warm air holds more moisture than cold air. When moist air comes into...

    how to delete a post??

    There's a difference between a post and a thread, even though a post is what starts the thread. To delete a post, you do as instructed above. To delete an entire thread, you send a PM Leo. Sometimes I crack myself up.

    This should blow your minds

    Leo, the same exact thing can be said about Christianity. Word for word. The notion of a separation of Church and State was a new and novel idea. Before America showed up, every country and culture on the planet was politically ruled by religionin in one form or another. Most still are, with...

    All Things Android...

    Many smartphone browsers don't even parse HTML code properly. Some can't do CSS or JS. A Mobile Web page should be written in XHTML or WML (but not both mixed in there, please). Basically, until HTML/CSS/JS support is improved in mobile devices, what is needed is a little server-side filtering...

    Wow! Can Fox stoop any lower?

    Good illustration of how Fox and the others are merely two different sides of the same coin. The truth is usually somewhere in the middle. If you get the bulk of your information from either side, you're being brainwashed. If you staunchly defend either as being the "real truth," or steadfastly...

    Good versus bad

    Actually they can. In addition to the standard credit report, to which a landlord can report you for being late on the rent, there are landlord associations that keep national databases of financial and criminal backgrounds, plus lists of people who have been foreclosed on or evicted, as well as...

    Good versus bad

    Yeah, what ebsprintin said. Time and time again people come on here with one complaint or another, and when you eventually get more details on the situation, it turns out they misunderstood how things work or expected something that was never agreed upon or some situation comes up and the driver...

    Good versus bad

    Where's the Web site for deadbeat drivers? When you start putting up Web sites and publicly commenting on someone, there's the issue of proof that must go along with it. Otherwise it's just a he-said, she-said deal that can become libelous if anyone manages to show actual damages. Plus, I can't...

    Wow! Can Fox stoop any lower?

    That's a bit much, isn't it? "Pale in comparison"? For one, they're all pretty bad, and a little bad or a lot bad doesn't matter since it all translates to really, really bad, as in Not-to-be-Trusted. Fact is, Fox is not worse than the others are, they're just at times more blatant about it. The...

    Unemployment OVER 10% in the real USA

    Gallup says the government's numbers will be in the 9.6% to 9.8% range (due to the government's cutoff date of mid-September rather than to the end of the month). But if that's true, and the government's numbers come out as being in the 9.6% to 9.8% range, does that mean that Obama and his...

    Now for winter, keeping warm

    Just came across this while doing some light reading.... Doesn't really apply to cargo vans unless placarded, but it's something you should be aware of. Part 393.77: Heaters. - Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration Miscellaneous parts and accessories...

    Another driver ticketed for Routing on Laptop

    In sight of the operator, that displays a video image that can be viewed by the operator while the motor vehicle is in motion. Just being in sight of the operator isn't enough, it has to be turned on and actually displaying a video image. The Michigan statute, Section 257.708b states in...

    Anothr member of the Obama administration jumps ship

    I don't know if "jumps ship" would be an accurate characterization, since Jones, who is now 66, stated clearly when he accepted the position that he would do the job for about two years and then step down.
