    Magic Jack + Thin Client

    Anybody doing this? How's it working out? I was using my ATA from the defunct SunRocket VOIP provider with the Gizmo project. Now that is going away. Google bought it and is killing it. I did some searching and found Sipgate which offers a similar VOIP service where you can use an ATA, but they...

    Soft Paint vs Hard paint

    Just an interesting note to pass on to those who don't already know. There is a BIG difference in the hardness of automotive paint. I have an 07' vette and the clear coat is so hard that you can buff the living snot out of a light scratch and not even see a difference. But, yesterday I picked up...

    How long will a leaking steering rack last

    Has anyone nursed a leaking rack-n-pinion for a couple of years by just continually adding fluid? I tried Lucas and it helped a little but did not stop the leaks at the inner tie rods. I don't feel like putting money in this car if I don't have to. I just wonder how long it will be until it...

    Menards MasterForce tools -- any good?

    I'm interested in their cordless 18v Lithium-ion 1/2" drill. I know it's not going to be contractor quality, I would be happy with it being on par with Black & Decker.

    IE8 -- Install now or wait?

    Anybody try it yet? I usually wait a couple of weeks but I'm bored. It's supposed to be faster, more secure, less filling and taste great.

    Leaf blowers for drying cars

    I've been looking into buying an electric leaf blower to use for the obvious but also for blow drying the cars. I was planning on an electric one because they are lighter and the gas ones are said to blow exhaust resedue... don't want that on the car. After some research, this is the one I've...

    copper tubing ( red vs blue )

    I got the wrong one. I'm putting a faucet in my attached garage on the house wall. I picked up all the pieces including a 10' length of 1/2" copper pipe at Menards. I mounted the faucet but I haven't run the pipe yet. I noticed the pipe I bought has a red stripe and the existing copper pipe in...

    Honda crush washer leaks

    I have a very slow, but annoying, leak coming from the oil pan drain plug on a 2000 CRV. I use a new crush washer each time but once in a while I get a leak even though the drain plug is plenty tight. I have a stash of crush washers that are a mixture of OEM Honda and after market ones from...

    Valvoline oil & blood mix

    Has anyone seen the Valvoline oil commercial with the message that oil and water don't mix but oil and blood do? It seems aimed directly at BITOGer's... but I can't believe how they present it. There's a guy wrenching under the hood of car and the narration goes: "Oil and water don't mix". Then...

    MC 5w20 350 mi on 04 2.3L Ranger

    I had this UOA done with only 350 miles on the oil but it has been in the vehicle for about five months. The warranty will run out in May and I wanted to be sure the small amount of coolant I lost was not getting into the oil. The main reason I'm posting it is due to the controversy over the...
