    Lottery is a rip-off

    Here's my pet peeve about the lottery: I hate going into a gas station or convenience store and having to wait in line while some mope ties up the clerk for fifteen minutes buying their daily assortment of lottery tickets. Its always the same - "Give me $5 in quick picks, I need some...

    What happed to all the Hummers?

    Still lots of Hummers here in DuPage County IL, which might as well be considered the honorary home of the big SUV. All makes and models of big SUVs are very common here.

    The curse of Pennzoil continues to be handed down.

    Originally Posted By: Mystic I think I have an idea how these rumors start. Remember, Pennzoil is the best selling motor oil. If somebody has a sludged up engine and mechanics ask the guy, 'What oil were you using?', there is a very good chance the guy was using Pennzoil oil. Not because...

    Volkswagen aftermarket parts?

    Junkyard Stories

    A few years ago, I was looking for a new or somewhat-better rear decklid for my 1988 Fiero GT. My original decklid had really bad peeling clearcoat, and someone years earlier had drilled it for a bad aftermarket spoiler.

    What is this?

    Definately keep it. I wish I still had mine; it was in the trunk when I went for a test drive and after I bought the car it had disappeared during the dealer's prep work along with the plastic on the seats, etc.

    I call her "Big Jane"

    I found this fella in my driveway last summer. He (or she?) was nice enough to wait for me to go inside and get the camera and tripod.

    Extreme bias toward Chicago Cubs baseball fans

    I wonder how they enforce this pricing policy. I know what I'd do if I wanted that particular type of seed - I'd go buy it somewhere else.
