I work in IT (30 years now), and my in-laws whom I’ve known for 15+ years (and have built numerous computers for in that time) STILL paid some scammer $150 over the phone to get their “PC fixed” and “spyware removed”. I was livid.

Good info. So what I need to know is how to properly dispose of brake fluid and coolant. I take my used oil to Autzone, but the other fluids just pile-up in my shed. I also have old gas from my lawn mower. Not sure what to do with it all.

While my BMW i-Drive system is a bit clunky at times, I still don’t want a full touchscreen experience in my car. It requires that I look at it too much versus a click wheel. If touchscreens are so great, they why are we still using mice and keyboards on our computers?

“they didn’t want a self-driving car to rive their kids around without another adult in the car”

Thanks. To say we are “crushed” would be an understatement of the century. It’s amazing how much of an impact he had on us in just 3 short months.

Meet Oliver.

Glad you posted. This has been one of my all-time fave Indian movie clips for years. Here is the other:

Am I the only one who sees a hideous blue monstrosity?

I watch Indycar and I keep wondering why they can’t have a simple 3-bar rollcage shaped like a “Y” over the heads of the drivers? One end can connect to the tow point and the other two can connect to an area near each side mirror. Of course, it needs to be designed so that it’s easily removed in case of emergency.

I used to have a two-seater from Yamaha. I learned the reason why three-seaters are more popular is because with those, you can pull a water skier. Doig so requires three people: the driver, the passenger facing the opposite direction and the water skiier. The passenger is there to supervise the skier and raise a flag…

I just drove one recently and I agree 100%. It looked great, but for the price, I could have bought something with much more get-up-and-go. Plus, the interior looked too plasticky... Futuristic, yes, but plasticky.

Lemme guess: Newport Coast/Irvine area.

Regarding the F-Type: So you’re saying it’s the Jag dealers that you want to avoid, not the car itself. Yes? I mean, now that it has a 5 yr/60k warranty + maintenance, it sure seems appealing to me. Add to that the heavy depreciation, and I can see a 2-3 year old CPO being quite the deal.

Wow. That is nuts! I plan on replacing the front pads and rotors on my 2010 BMW tomorrow in my garage. That said, my neighbor 2 houses down was wrenching on 4-6 cars at a time as income. THAT was an eyesore. The street was lined with 1990's era beaters. I told him that the HOA would crack down on it and so he got rid…

Why should they? My mate always drove his 535i stoned out of his mind, so it really was a “U Lit Mate? Driving Machine”.

Right there with ya.

It took several years before I realized that scraping seeds from Serrano peppers to make a particular Thai dish the night before was the reason for my eyes burning like hellfire when I put my contacts in the following morning.

I hear ya. I also have way too many hobbies. I think homebrewing is like the 9th thing on my list of stuff I spend time on.
