    Craigslist find - Gary Fisher

    Dog is getting too old to go on long walks and walking is boring alone, so started looking for a decent Mtn bike to ride around my neighborhood (we have a 5 mile ashphalt path) and maybe to the state park that has dozens of miles of dirt paths. Wanted something I did not have to work on, the...

    Trane Heat Pump Warranty

    We purchased a Trane heat pump from a local HVAC company 9 years ago, the installing company has since gone out of business. The fan on the air handler died just over 2 weeks ago (diagnosed by a different local Trane authorized HVAC company). Unfortunately the fan is no longer produced or...

    Looking at a screaming good deal on a used (around 60k miles) vehicle that is at Bluebonnet Ford in New Branfels. Not sure I can just take the word of the sales person that everything works and runs as it should. The carfax is perfect - oil changes at the dealer every 5k - and it is almost...

    This problem is on my 2007 Mustang GT, Auto Trans, 102k miles. This problem is almost always present, but it seems to get much worse without any warning, sometimes it is hardly noticable. Cold weather seems to make it worse. There is a bumpy/shuddering feel when I go above 35 mph, above 60 it...
