Time Magazine: Walmart loves to shock and awe. City-size stores, absurdly low prices ($8 jeans!) and everything from milk to Matchbox toys on its shelves. And with the recession forcing legions of stores into bankruptcy, the world's largest retailer now apparently wants to take out the...

Took a ride in a co-worker's car this morning. Had it since new, and has always had Pennzoil 10W-30 oil changes done anywhere between 3K - 5K miles. A/T, all original with the exception of the thermostat, which was replaced last year after an overheating situation. She has an exaust leak and a...

Changed the fluids in my rear diff, transfer case and transmission last night. Amsoil 75W-90 Severe Gear in the rear diff and transfer case, Redline MT-90 in the tranny, and with Pennzoil Platinum already in the sump, she's all slicked up and ready to go! I love fresh fluids...they make me...

How hard could this test be? BERLIN (AP)—A day after winning her first 800-meter world title amid a gender test controversy, South African teenager Caster Semenya’s father dismissed any speculation his daughter is not a woman. The 18-year-old runner’s father, Jacob, tells the Sowetan...

My boss has a 2005 STS 4.6. On his way to work yesterday morning, he stopped at the QuickTrip down the street from our office. Upon returning to his car with his morning coffee, it refused to start. So he walked the 3 blocks to the office and asked me for assistance. We drove down in a...

Hello fellow bikers, just wanted to get some opinions on chain lube from anyone who'd like to contribute. Thus far, I've tried chain wax (Bel Ray, if memory serves) and DuPont's teflon spray, as well as good old gear oil. The wax / teflon didn't alleviate the worrysome (to me anyway) chain...

Welcome to Starbucks. Please, order the most complicated drink you can possibly think up.

Enjoyed the Virago for what it was (a cruiser). It was a beautiful bike, but didn't have the mannerisms I enjoy in a bike. It was sold last weekend, and I've felt lost all week having to drive my car everywhere I go. I fixed that problem friday night. 2007 Ninja 650R, 7400 miles, pretty much...

I was a flight attendant, so I became very desensitized to most things that happen during the course of a flight, but this woulda made me soil myself had I been on board. http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1776674

GREAT example of just how out-of-touch presidents, CEOs, chairmen, etc. are with the typical working stiff. LONDON (AP) -- British Airways on Tuesday urged its staff to work for nothing in an effort to save the company money. British Airways PLC is struggling to come up with ways to save...

Anyone have any insight or opinions on these LEHR trimmers? I like the idea of propane, but not sure about longevity. Good for someone who's obsessive about maintenance? (It won't be neglected). http://www.golehr.com/products.shtml#1

Don't have any idea what kind of gun this is, but some of these clips make me LOL. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LD-KaUl_olo

Hyundai Genesis Coupe 3.8 Base Earlier last week I did an inventory search and located a silver 3.8 Base 6-speed coupe at one of my local dealers, and went to drive it on Friday. I got the Mazdaspeed 6 all shined up with full hair and makeup to see what they'd offer me for it. I guess my...

Had some time to burn (for a change) today so I went to Reliable Chevrolet to check out the Camaro "demo" they got in recently. It's an orange SS. I have to say that I really like the finished product for the most part. The exterior was very well screwed together and I think they made a good...

Can anyone suggest the best grease to use on a motorcycle's shaft drive splines? I'm planning to take it apart for inspection and lube tomorrow and I'd like to use the best product for it. I fear it's probably never been done. '96 Virago 750, 10,800 miles. Thanks for any suggestions.

I did an oil change this weekend on my Mazdaspeed 6 (due for time vs. mileage, like always) and after doing the math, determined that I just dumped a sumpfull of oil that only had 1300 miles on it. After a few more days of careful consideration, I decided I'd try to trade the car in and maybe...

Hopefully someone here can help me with some bad running I'm experiencing. Upon cold starting, the bike fires quickly and seems to run really well with the choke about halfway on. But slowing it down, or turning off the choke completely even after a couple of minutes yields a very slow, lumpy...

Hi guys, have a 1996 Yamaha Virago 750 and installed Redline Lightweight Shockproof in the final drive last night. Visually, it was very surprising....a bright turquoise gear oil. Hmmm I just did a search for all the threads on BITOG < 1 yr old for this product and found some interesting...
