    What a wonderful difference proper springs make

    This afternoon, a friend helped me install aftermarket Moog variable rate cargo springs in our 2001 Taurus wagon. It was a ludicrously easy job and well worth the $100 for the parts. Tauruses (wagon and sedan) are notorious for "butt-sag" where it looks like you're carrying a 500lbs load in the...

    Clunk when turning (particularly if hitting bump)

    '03 Century. 130k mi on the chassis. So is this a tie-rod end issue, cv-joint, or hub problem?

    ovens and more! Turn down service is only 2 slugs at the wonderful state correctional facility. I wish I was kidding. I called a buddy of mine who still works at the prison I left several years ago tonight just to catch up. After talking about our kids and other things, I asked him how things...

    Game of Thrones

    Has anyone started watching this now that the DVD set has been released (or have previously watched it when it first aired on HBO). It's based on the "A Song of Ice and Fire" series of books. I have never read the books, but I must say I didn't expect much when I started watching the series...

    Readyboost is in fact providing a boost

    To my old laptop. I was considering getting a new laptop as the Dell 1318 I use is getting long in the tooth. Nothing is wrong with it, but compared to newer laptops it seems sluggish. I decided to give readyboost a try and used put a spare 4GB micro SD into an SD adapter and run it as a...

    Neat light display

    I took my son to see a light display that a guy in town set up as a fundraiser for a local non-profit. It's quite impressive in person, though this night he was outside working on something so it wasn't as flashy as normal as some of the arrays of lights were offline. He's got a low-power FM...

I was up at 4:30am (don't ask) Sat. and remembered I'd put the wife's car up on ramps to change the oil Friday evening (ended up passing out from exhaustion at 8pm). So...

    Lubro Moly 5w30 vs M1 0w40

    Since I can get either locally just curious if anyone thinks I'd see an advantage using the 5w30 of the 0w40 in the winter considering the VW sees mostly short trips in town. Both are A3/502 rated oils. Cost isn't really an issue for me since I'll be running it at least 6mo if not the full...

    Apple employees impersonating police officers

    Oh Apple. How do I love you. Let me count the ways. Patent litigation war. Photoshopping pics of Samsung's Galaxy Tab in EU court filings to make it appear the same in aspect ratio/size and user interface as the iPad2. And now impersonation of police officers. You lovable, hugable, innocents...

    After running 2x bottles in the Buick and one in the Taurus for 3 months now, all shift issues have disappeared (slippage/slow engage in the Taurus and hard 1st to 2nd shift in the Buick). Would highly recommend this product for anyone experiencing similar issues.

    Techron in small engines?

    With the BOGO offer on Techron at Advanced Auto I went out and picked up 4 bottles and I'm in the process of running one through each of our vehicles. I've already finished a run in our '01 Taurus. The car only has 25k mi on it but it had a slight rough idle. After the tank full of Techron...

    E30 cropping up in my folks neck of the woods

    I was chatting with my father the other day and he asked me "Do you know anything about this E30 stuff they've got at the pumps now?" Not surprisingly this is at an farmers co-op type station. I told him to avoid it like the plague which to which he said, "Oh no, I'd never use that [censored]...

    Wheel bearing (hub)?

    I think one of the wheel bearings on my '03 Buick is on its way out. I've got a high pitched squeal coming from the vehicle at any speed above 10mph rather than the typical grinding noise people associate with bad wheel bearings. At first I thought it might have been the brakes, but there is no...
