When VCR's first came out in approx. 1980 (?) my boss paid $800.00!! When I bought my last one before extinction, I paid $19.99 new off the shelf! Once I buy something, unless some place else might price match, I stop looking at prices. Ignorance truly is bliss.

The tracks I spent a lot of my youth at in the NJ/NY/PA area; Flemington, East Windsor, Nazareth, Reading, Pine Brook, Englishtown. Gone, but certainly not forgotten.

Started out with Ryobi drills but the batteries had a very short life span in my occasional usage. Switched to DeWalt and so far so good. I always wondered though, would it be possible or does anyone already do it; in lieu of a battery or as a fail safe, could they make a transformer in the...

I used them about 10 years ago with no problem. Granted, I was concerned about handing over a car for a check but in my case it was only about $1300.00. As I recall, signed the title just like any other sale, took the plates off, took plenty of pictures of the guy taking the car, his truck (and...

My uncle Jim was a B-17 tail-gunner in WWII. He never talked about what he experienced. When he stepped out of that aircraft after his last mission, he never set foot in another plane ever again. I guess we might be able to read into that.

I did see a previous post from MolaKule where he talked about how the F/T process can be tweaked to produce different "weight" GTL base oils. I just wondered why with so much talk about Pennzoil Platinum 5W-30 being one of the thinnest 5W-30s, why not use a heavier base as they do for the Q/S...

If it comes from a gas, what makes one "finished" base oil thicker or thinner? Is it the source gas or is the conversion process capable of producing a finished product that is thicker or thinner?

Pennzoil Platinum 5W-30 is 9.8 Is it odd that they're both Shell products and both using GTL base oil and yet still a fairly large difference?

My sister has the same situation. Her house has a 20+ year old timer/dimmer system that controls the LR, DR and kitchen. The LED bulbs do not work at all. They flicker, don't dim or don't come on at all. A google search revealed that dimming an LED is done by pulsing the current as opposed to...

Is the last time we saw Valvoline in F1 when Mario Andretti was driving the John Player Special?

Unfortunately, the police are almost powerless anymore in situations like this and we all know why. I saw a news report a while ago about a town in New York State that was being "terrorized" by punks on ATV and dirt bikes taking over the streets. Since they didn't know how to stop it, the...

I agree. Much better than I thought it would be. How impressive for SVG to come in, race clean and take the victory too. I wonder if they could do the same thing in New York City?

The New York Times slogan is, or was, "All the News that's Fit To Print." But what it really should have said is "All the News that fits, we print." That was true back in the day when we only consumed news on a few national TV channels; CBS, NBC and ABC, newspapers and Newsweek and Time. Then...

A few years ago, we used Peddle.com to get rid of a 2008 Saturn Outlook that needed an engine but still ran and still looked great. I originally looked at Peddle.com just to get an idea of value. They ask you to answer a bunch of questions to determine what they'll pay you and then give a price...

We bought a 2008 Saturn Outlook brand new just to avoid the haggle. Unfortunately, the car was trouble from the moment we bought it until it spun a crank bearing at slightly over 100,000 miles. Because of the numerous issues we had, decided not to repair it and unloaded it to Peddle.com. Can...

We don't take long road trips anymore as the wife can't sit for long. Years ago though when the kids were small we drove to Disney World from NJ. The one deviation that we did make was on my account. We stopped for a couple hours at Joe Gibbs Racing. It was, as I recall, pretty close to the...

For any former or current Bacardi drinkers I would recommend that you watch a movie called "2Hearts". It can be found on Netflix. It might seem a little corny at times but stick with it and watch right through to the very end.

This forum is like a fraternity. The new guys get hazed to either toughen 'em up or weed 'em out.

I've used AVG for years with no issues. Maybe I would have no issues anyway but at least now I feel like I'm doing all I can.

Gonna have to mask up.....again! It's so orange where I am in North Jersey, it looks like the scene from Seinfeld when Kenny Roger's Roasted Chicken opens up across the street from Jerry's apartment!
