I know two guys with Volts, even when running on the gas engine they get pretty damned awesome gas mileage!

I get nearly 40 in the city with a Jetta TDI - previous generation. That's a little over 500miles of city driving. I'm not sure I've ever taken it on a highway drive that could exhaust a full tank, just not had the opportunity. It would get over 600 miles almost certainly but 700 would be a real stretch. there's a guy…

A large part of it is size and WEIGHT. Think all those fancy gadgets and airbags come for free? I had a Chevy Sprint that got 42MPG beating the crap out of it and feeding it used oil from the sports car whenever the oil light would blink coming to a stop light. It was awesome! Now find me anything that small and light…

Th alcohol we add to our gas is also a large part of it. Sure, we get an octane bump but we also LOWER our MPG. It was done to make engines run lean back when folks had carbs and not W/B O2 that could adjust. Now it simply wastes money - and they are talking about raising the % again! Never mind what it does to fuel…

I'll never forget some kid exclaiming at the size of the exhaust on my Supra. Dad, not realizing I owned the car told the kid no biggie, it's just a big tip welded onto a little pipe. I told Dad Yeah? Why don't you stick your ARM in that pipe. He gave me a funny look and I informed him it was 4inches tip to turbo…

Petah was an ass. He did cute things like pull engines from customer's cars when he needed one for the team - and then replace it sans rebuild afterwards. The tales his mechanics and customers used to tell were amazing and often remind me of a particular Viper tuner. His top fabricator was a real good guy though and…

Someone told you this and you believed it??? Seriously misinformed...

Ever banged your head off of one of them? Even with SFI rated padding it hurts like hell so unless you intend to also wear a helmet full time you might want to think very carefully about this. I've had and have bars\cages in more than one of my cars and while they can be pretty helpful they can also make things more…

Just bought 3x 3TB drives for under $100 apiece from NewEgg. Sorry they were Seagates but the other 5 I have are doing fine and I'm not sweating it.

Actually, the DTs from stopping cold turkey may kill him before he makes it to prison. this guy is going to be in a world of hurt. He's already done a 2 year tour previously though and didn't learn his lesson, no way is he going to stop.

He's already served a 2 year sentence previously and the chances of his having had a license for the last 3-4 DWI is pretty much nill. He drove sans license, bet on it, and nothing you do is going to stop him short of locking him up. If you think mandated AA is going to touch this guy dream on. So far as I'm concerned…

Pretty much every day why?

I don't think they are all that heavy considering the screen. Ever seen one? I went to the Big Screen Store with friends looking for a TV for them and was stunned at the picture on these big sets. the price was also amazing compared to LCD TV that weren't near the size. If I had the room I'd be considering one of…

I would suggest considering spending a little bit more and getitng some software that can feed this local files as well as a large number of other streaming channels. It's an awesome box for this although I prefer XBMC. I did buy a Roku with my PlayOn purchase though -> http://www.playon.tv/buy/

Another vote for Monoprice however watch the shipping charges, they can zap you with those!

You mention the old one and the $60 price tag but then link to a newer $90 one? Try this link http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B0002GDIII/ref=dp_olp_0?ie=UTF8&condition=all

Try one of these if you already own the batteries!

Actually for quick jobs and small stuff a DeWalt battery powered impact rocks! Want to swap tires at the track? Battery powered impact rules. I have a full set of air with plumbed copper and outlets everywhere. If I'm going to be doing big jobs in the garage I use it and love it but the battery stuff has great torque…

I bought something truly cool from Costco the other day. It's a "wireless inspection camera" aka one of those things you see in movies they use to peer under doors. for $149 I got a camera with adjustable lighting on the end of a long flexible metal stalk. The LCD display can be uncoupled and receive the view via…

Amen! I'd be driving an Audi now in place of my Jetta if they would allow me to spec it with a stick! Sport suspension? Check! HID headlights? Check! Stick? FAIL!
