When I lived in Virginia, there was a weird legal loophole that allowed ABC stores to open on Sundays in two places: Virginia Beach and Arlington County. I'm not sure if that list has expanded since I left there back in '07. The loophole allowed counties or cities over a certain population to open their ABC stores…

I happen to still live in Vermont myself. Even though I don't drink anymore, I'm grateful that our staties don't really care about things like that, especially considering the price difference and selection between VT & NH liquor stores. And that's before you factor in the deposit and sales tax* they charge here...

Just don't let the cops catch you bringing the booze in from another state. I hear they're real hardasses about it.

FB Purity (fbpurity.com) will do that for the desktop version of Facebook, as well as give you lots of other customization options.

Unfortunately, I didn't have to Google that...I used to sell Saturns, and I dreaded selling the Relay. Sure, it had a nice, smooth ride, but that was literally its ONLY redeeming quality.

My girlfriend: "See what happens when you eat Tex-Mex before the race?!"

Shatnered?

At least the European carmakers (BMW, Audi, Merc) had some sense to the alphanumerics. I see Cadillac's naming convention as more like Lincoln, where every car's name is two letters followed by a third letter/number that was pulled out of someone's ass.

There had better be poundcake.

I worked for a dealership who didn't use vinyl stickers or decals; just the plate frame. Every once in a while someone would ask me, when I sold them a car, to not put any dealer advertising on the car. "No problem!"

That's nothing. We have a shady auto group in VT/NH who now insists on putting TWO decals on each car they sell: one on the left side with the dealership's logo, and one on the right, same basic style as the one in the picture, with the auto group's logo.

Vault Zero was excellent, and I took advantage of the fact that Coca-Cola put it in the early Freestyle machines at every opportunity...until they phased Vault out and replaced it with Mello Yello (and MYZ). Honestly, with the flavor combinations they offered with both, I can't really tell the difference.

Dammit. I picked the wrong time to kick the sugary soda habit.

@bpm_playlist is a useful bot for fans of the SiriusXM channel BPM. It automatically tweets every song played on the channel. I've found it useful for those times when I hear a song I like but don't remember certain details about it. It's the only one of its kind that I know of, but that concept could be applied to…

I bought a Caroma dual-flush toilet (1.28/0.8 gpf) and I love it. It's a washdown bowl, not a siphon bowl. This means two things: all of the water in the flush is used to push the waste out rather than create a siphon and then refill the bowl, and because of this the trapway is 4" wide (siphon toilets need narrower…

If you play the CSI card the way Khalela suggests, I think the sales manager would be more likely to play ball knowing that they'll have a perfect CSI survey in the bag. I could only see them doing what you're saying if they decide not to play ball. In this case, I'd guess that coming down $500 could very well be…

I couldn't agree more. My first real exposure to rugby came when I saw last year's Super Rugby final. It was beautiful chaos. Since then, I've been hooked.

This. The town where I work has a speed limit of 25 in the downtown area. If you're not doing at least 35 in this zone, you'll find some douchetanker grafted onto your rear bumper.

Product placement. Don't forget the product placement.
