    Truths For Mature Humans

    1. I think part of a best friend's job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die. 2. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong. 3. I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger. 4. There is great...

    Most Commonly Seen/Noticed Vehicles Each Day

    Alright, guys. Out of curiosity, what are the top 2 or 3 cars you see (or at least remember that you recognize/get your attention) the most often? I know I probably see tons of little mid-90's Honda's and so on, but they don't pay attention or make me say, "Hey, I KNOW I've seen at least ___...

    Classic VW's

    Welp, the gf's 1979 Bus and her dad's 1961 Single Cab Pickup made it in Hot VWs most recent issue. They won awards (not the first year, as the gf's bus often wins something...) at the Farmington, NC show for SEVWC (I believe). I'll try to get the pictures from the magazine on here when I get a...

    Amsoil SSO 0w-30 -- Pontiac Solstice GXP -- 10,284

    Just received the results from Wear Check today on my SSO run. In case you're wondering, I ran the oil until my Oil Life Monitor (OLM) on the car was hitting 0% left. Next time I'll have to get a VOA of the SSO done so I can get some comparison perspective. I think this is a pretty good...

    "Error Loading Operating System" - Windows XP

    Yesterday, I literally had the computer on and walked off with it sitting with the web browser up. I came back some time later and the computer had turned off. I didn't recall turning it off, but didn't think much of it. From there on: "Error loading operating software..." The only action I...

    Used WIX 9018 Model Visuals

    My post from another one of my forums: Well, just for kicks I'll post a used WIX filter with about 6k worth of use. I cut it apart to take a look, which may or may not have revealed much, but worth a shot nonetheless...

    All-In-One Computers

    Does anyone have experience with these, or with all-in-one's in general? I am looking at one of Dell's particularly. Not the Studio computer though. I don't really need a huge computer taking up space, so I am considering opting for one of these conglomerations. With an Intel Pentium 2 Duo...

    Synthetic OCI's for Light & Medium Duty Diesels

    Out of curiosity, what are some of the lengths that high quality synthetics are being reliably run in the light and medium duty pick-ups, etc., today? I know some of the bigger diesels, with greater oil capacity, are able to run some pretty impressive distances, but what about the diesels with...

    I thought we were running out of oil...

    ...and the world was burning up and we are all going to die? Well, the first 2 don't seem so certain, even to those who bought into much of it up to this point. Check the link for story: http://finance.yahoo.com/real-estate/article/108509/cramped-on-land-big-oil-bets-at-sea So we are looking...

    Automotive "Bailouts" vs. Subsidies

    Some off-topic discussion in another thread has led me to post this to see what comes of it... This topic borders on the political edge, but I want to focus on the aspect of vehicle manufacturer sentiments and preference. What do you feel about the two and are either "okay" with you? Are you...

    AMSOIL & Castrol Syntec

    Does anyone happen to have, or know of, comparable UOAs of similar AMSOIL & Syntec motor oils? I know this is a shot in the dark, but as similar of vehicles as possible and common oil weights (plus the possibility of the same lab) could give a fairly decent idea of the two. I've searched and...

    Pontiac Solstice GXP

    I recently purchased a 2007 GXP 2.0L turbo EcoTec 5-speed with 5,252 miles. It is fully loaded with all the upgrade options possible, these years coming standard with convertible, as the targa top coupe was not released until this past year. I have put about 600 miles on it so far and am...

    Plan B Oil Filter

    Recently picked up an '07 Solstice with 5k on the odometer and am putting SSO in it here before long, although I was told that the oil was recently changed. I would put a good bet that it was Mobil 1 5w-30 because M1 is on the oil cap, came in it from the factory, and the previous owner said...
