    Your thoughts on '03-'05 Acura MDX's

    I've had an '03 touring since new (37K miles). No problems other than a leaky water pump which was fixed under warranty. Because of previous year's tranny problems (they were changed in '03) I do change my ATF every-other oil change (3 quarts). It's probably overkill but it's cheap and I do it...

    Used oil - how do you dispose of it?

    I bring mine to the local fire house which has a oil dump tank. You can bring up to 5 gallons. Also has a drum for used oil filters. The Fire Chief was going to shut down the service once but I told him that if he did people who use it will likely be dumping their oil along the nearby country...

    Queen Mary 2 photo opportunity SF, Feb 4&5

    It's the lagest ocean liner in the world. To qualify as an "ocean liner" it has to have a thicker hull for the treacherous North Atlantic. When the QM 2 was built in '04 it was the largest passenger ship ever built. Royal Caribbean surpassed that last year, but the QM2 is still the largest ocean...

    I you can get one Costco has a coupon for Turbo-Tax Fed/State good for $15 off starting 15 Jan. This brings cost to about $20. I've used TT for years with no problem but to each his own. Good luck on your refund.

    OOOPS! forgot the landing gear.

    There's an old saying in aviation that "every landing you walk away from is a good landing." Most all crashes (mid-airs are the exception, I would guess) occur on landing at one place or another. Some are controlled and some are not. Unfortunately, they are not all at airports.

    Assuming Vista is a major flop...

    I think XP machines will be a great deal this holiday season. I wouldn't invest in Vista for at least a year to give them the time to work out its bugs. Recommendation: Buy a new XP machine, save a bunch of $$$ in the process.

    Quick temporary fix/limp home products - Chime in

    Just a word of caution for newer vehicle owners with Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS), such as Honda. They do not recommend Fix-a-flat products (gooey stuff you fill the tire with) because the goo messes up the monitors inside the tire. JFI.

    Bad manual trans fluid, or bad synchros?

    With my '04 S2000 shifting was kinka stiff until I drove a few miles and the fluid warmed up. Don't be too concerned. Seemed to be a common problem, according to the S2000 sites I broused. Suspect it's the same with your car. Never hurts to change the fluid, however. Easiest thing you can do to...
