    PSI recommendation for new car tires

    Had four new Dunlop SP60 All seasons installed this morning. I looked at the door jamb and it says 30 front/26 rear (car is 2000 Saturn). Bought the SP60's based on their actual rating by TireRack, not just user ratings. They scored very well in light and deep snow for an all season. I read...

    H1N1 vaccination and pregnancy

    Wife called and said her OB-GYN wants her to come down tomorrow for the H1N1 vaccination. After some research and what I have been hearing from various sources, I am a little sketchy about having her vaccinated with something that was so quickly developed. From the Novartis and Sanofi Pasteur...

    How can you so many cell phone stores survive?

    Near where I live they are opening yet another Verizon/Alltel cellular phone retail location. These stores are already seemingly saturated around here as they were in other places I lived. There are now 10 Verizon/Alltels within 20 miles of my town of 8,000, including Wal-Mart. This is only...

    How to stop our car from static shocking us?

    Wife's Corolla shocks anyone who is driving upon exiting the vehicle. If the car door touches any part of you, waist, fingers, elbow, etc. it gives a nasty shock of static electricity. It was funny at first, but now it is really annoying as it does hurt both my wife and myself. Are their any...

    Don't get a seatbelt ticket like I did.

    2.5 years ago, I got my one and only traffic violation in the past decade. It was a seatbelt violation and cost me 75 bucks and I paid the ticket. It was fluke thing that happened as I would wear my seat belt 99% of the time. From that day forward, that one seatbelt violation has cost me...

    Cheapest place to purchase Redline motor oil?

    A buddy of mine wants some Redline 5w-30, and asked me where to buy it, but I do not use and have no clue about it. I checked E-bay and some other sites, but I have no idea what a fair price per quart of this stuff is. Any good sources for Redline online?

    Thank goodness for sale prices on oil!

    I've never noticed what the non-sale price is on a five quart jug of Mobil 1 at Wal-Mart. I kneeled down to the bottom facing of Mobil 1 (old formula) and observed a layer of dust a 1/4" deep. "That is strange I thought to myself", as this is a top selling oil. Then I look farther down at the...

    I wonder if there would be a market for this.

    I am admittedly not good at dealing with car salesman when I go to make a purchase and many of my family have been brutalized in the process (pay much more than they should). I wonder if a person who is very savvy at deal closing could hire himself out as a "consumer car sales advocate" or...

    I have been off the board for awhile. The last time I studied up on Mobil 1 I remember some saying that the Mobil 1 EP was a group III and that the older "super syn" Mobil 1 was mostly a group IV. Do I have that backwards? Can someone point me in the right direction to find out which current...

    Short trips and sub-zero temps. I can't win!!!

    As posted in another thread I started, my wife's 08 Corolla is a short tripper. 8.5 miles to work and little weekend use. In the summer/fall/spring already decided to do a 3 month OCI with respected name conventionals, but in winter time it seems like I'll be wasting perfectly good synthetic...
