    Plunged in head first, dumped windows for linux.

    This is pretty much what should be expected from a typical Ubuntu-derived OS. You get a kernel that's all-kinds-of loaded up with drivers (fine for most users) so things will probably work out-of-the box and there's no Unity junk to create a learning cliff.

    tires are squealing after car repair

    Dad wrecked his car

    One alternative would be to spend a few bucks on odds and ends to build a really cool useless contraption based on the wreck. I'm not saying you should do that, but isn't there something deep down inside telling you that this is the perfect opportunity to make a [something]? Not even just a...

    Could the 3800 remain competitive w/modern tech?

    I've always been fond of the Buick V6 also, but I don't see how it would make any sense for GM to bring it back anytime soon as a car engine. If something needs more power than the HVV6 they have the HFV6. If they need that power but want to keep it simpler and more "bullet proof" there's the...

    Pilot / HM Oil question

    A "stuck lifter" noise in a Pilot is something you need to look into right away. If you do a search you'll probably find some information Trav has provided about VCM related problems. One of the guys I work with was handed a Pilot with a lifter tick that ended up with a broken camshaft.

    If you're already driving on your spare tire and you have need of ABS or traction control you may also need to consider taking some sort of remedial driving course. No offense intended.
