Home ownership is both less scary and cheaper if one takes the time to learn how to actually maintain and repair ones home.

And our diesel BMW with the cover off sounds like an idling diesel-electric locomotive.

My two brothers were both highly susceptible to getting car sick. I know that zip locks in the glove box are great, but my parents used to keep two empty 1 pound coffee cans under the front seat, complete with plastic snap on lids.
