    Anyone seen this pileup video? 2/15/19 in central Missouri

    I live in Columbia Mo and it was pretty bad. Well, at least for the rear wheel drive SUV friend I helped get home. I had chains on my 99 eclipse lol. Thankfully I-70 was at A standstill so no deaths in the city. Not surprised at the video the way people drive around here. The $130 chains were...

    Bought a Desk Top PC for $30!

    I also say Ram. I use an optiplex 970 at work. Asked them for more ram since it seems to run at a crawl when it has none to spare with 4GB and a few windows open. They told me I was eligible for a new computer 3.5 years ago. Never got to try more ram but I am sure that was my problem.

    Advisory on Roku TV's

    I have a 49S405. Thankfully I unplugged it a few weeks after I bought it due to the offensive adds they displayed. Well, not that offensive really, just annoying/offensive enough to unplug it from the ethernet. Glad I did now. That solved the problem for me. No new adds just a few old movie adds...

    Who has the oldest Daily Driver?

    I'd be interested to hear how long someone has used a car as a daily driver. I have a 99 eclipse I have daily driven since December of 2002. Seems long to me considering where I live. It only has 114,000 miles though.

    Anyone use an ergonomic mouse?

    I use that exact type of mouse. The one I have at work here is "Sharkk Basics" (yes with two K's). Model SK137U. I love the thing. I started getting the slightest carpal tunnel symptoms, then slightly more. Getting these for home and work nearly solved it completely. I just make sure I stretch...

    Anyone else enjoy older vehicles?

    I've had the same daily driver since 2002. It is a 1999. Had it almost half my life. I am more comfortable doing repairs on it that I wouldn't otherwise be comfortable be doing. Although mostly non-engine related since I am not a mechanic. Don't miss the newer tech in cars of today either. And I...

    What are these cables to?

    Well, darn it! Not the words I used though. Seems the dash cam plug broke where it plugs into the lighter. Maybe that is why the dash cam doesn't work. Two minutes later, I now just plugged something else into the cigarette lighter to power it and it does work for that. Looks like I need a...

    What are these cables to?

    Guess the one on the right could/should be connected to my cd player. Although the radio does get reception. Thanks

    What are these cables to?

    I just now tried the radio and it works, also the cd player, it works. My car used to have a cd changer back before I got it. That was way back in 2002. I should have said it is a 1999 eclipse so no sirius. Thanks for the reply.

    What are these cables to?

    I just had my heater core replaced by a local shop I trust and noticed that these two cables were almost hanging out from the panel they were behind as I was rerouting my dash cam cables again. Hoping they were just from some accessory I did not have I ignored them until I was done with the...

    Almost hit a Pedestrian on a bicycle

    Oh wow. Not very smart to allow it but there are some other crazy things/people I have heard are in California Q Can I ride my bicycle on the freeway? A. Of the more than 4,000 miles of freeways in California, about 1,000 miles are open to bicyclists. These open sections are usually in rural...
