In today's fragile world, it is good to have a solid point of reference for our lives. Man Laws provide us with such an anchor. Now, when we agree, we know how to clink our beer bottles together in a manly fashion. [The high five replacement is still pending, though.]

I was asked about about how to get the headlines tab on their Firefox browser. Mine came with it - about 20 headlines a day in a dropdown tab. Possibly a new version, updates, or set up options are needed . The news is usually BBC, and better than most American spinners. BTW Drew, I tried twice...

I have to carefully word this. Wallace had praise and respect for a certain nation's leader in a recent interview, after said leader years ago used a currently famous terrorist group to kill about 250 of our Marines. One Officer was hung and shown to the world. Wallace is a gosh darned traitor...

On a Firefox 'latest headlines' tab, I read that less Hurricanes are predicted this season. Why? Because oceans are cooler this year! I guess it's inconvenient to consider this when someone wants to ring the global warming bell.

Like many of you, I have heard about and researched using acetone as a fuel additive. The downsides were that it would dissolve certain plastics and rubbers, and that it has no effect on power/mileage. The positives were that it cleaned things out real nice, and gave increased mileage, power...

These Hep. A shots are being recommended/mandated for ALL United States children. Apparently, the great influx of illegal aliens has produced a great upsurge of various diseases. These shot were often given in the border states, but now, nobody is safe. Guess who pays, again?

Try doing this with water, as it works great.

If it gets too hot, the high pressure switch will cut off the compressor clutch power [same for the low pressure switch]. The idle is raised with the extra load of the AC, and your idle air control valve may be gummy - sticking. When the AC cycles [normal], it therefore won't come back down...

I hear on this and other forums about people changing from dino engine and tranny oils to synthetics and reporting 2-3 MPG increases, or even more. Often, this is with the synths. having similar viscosities. I don't think Mfrs. would pass this up, and not put full synthetics in all the cars they...

I just saw [on "Overhauled"] a suppposedly high performance engine being assembled for a nice street rod. The guy was installing the pistons, and simply jammed a brush into a bucket of white grease, loaded it heavily onto the piston ring area, and installed the pistons. This may be good for...

According to our lawmakers [who are aggressively pursuing getting gas prices down] the oil companies make nine cents a gallon profit. The Gov't makes fifty cents per gallon 'profit'. Who is the price gouger? Who then, has the immediate power to attenuate the prices? BTW, I was shocked to hear...

Many newer cars have over sensitive knock sensors, and are too picky. They are retarding timing when it's not necessary. They pull 6 degrees or so, on some cars. I belive that a knock sensor is a good thing, but should be for unusual circumstances, like when very hot or a tank of bad gas. It...

I use Havoline 5-30, but put in Motorcraft 5-20 for the winter. LC20 with both. I noticed that my PVC catch can doesn't fill nearly as fast with the thinner Motorcraft. I never have to add oil - there is very minute usage. I don't want to see this. I want to like my Havoline. I know that this is...

After visiting 4 other parts stores without success, Murrays Auto had what I was looking for, a newer Ford approved antifreeze. The bottles of Zerex are gold, but are labeled differently - one has a big G-05 on it, and the other has it in fine print. Man oh man, there is a lot of Dexcool and...

Many have conjectured about why the same vehicles are currently spec'd for different oils, depending on which continent they are sold. Generally, the European models will require a thicker oil. Some say it's because of CAFE only, at the expense of engine wear. I think that the Europeans [and...

I put the excess snow blower fuel [2 stroke mix] in the cars after winter, and they always seem to run better. Not that I expect them to - just a good way to get rid of the fuel before it sours. OK, I just put the remains of an opened 2 stroke oil can, in my ZX2, and the idle improved again. No...

I just read in the Chicago Sun Times that our Federal Gov't will pay for rent for almost a million N.O. flood victims, for 18 months, in addition to the $2,000.00 debit card issued to each. WOW! I don't think this should be the taxpayer's responsibility. And what about the next time?

I just heard a Congressman [maybe a Senator] on CNN [or similar cable news] state that we already spent more on Katrina in one week, than our three years in Iraq. He wanted accounts and records to be very carefully kept. We were eating dinner, and it came and went so fast. Sorry about the...

How about checking the Web for Aspire performance forums. You can get better performance and mileage out of her.

I'm using LC now. I'm primarily concerned with cleaning and keeping the rings/lands clean. My personal car only has 25,000 miles on it, and has had too many oil changes, already, so it is in excellent shape. My question is if ARx, used with light doses, is a better plan, or is LC enough to do a...
