From WTOP, the local news radio station in and around DC:

I had a mechanic (who is now out of business) down in the Fairfax County part of Alexandria, VA that had always done pretty decent work on my Mazda 6s. He didn’t price gouge, had decent turn around times, etc. He did a clutch replacement for me at around 76k and I never had a problem with it ever again. Like I said,…

You know, Wiedefeld is going to get a bunch of shit for this, but he’s doing the right thing IMHO. He’s inherited one if the most broken-down systems in the world and he has adamantly stated that he’s going to do whatever is necessary to bring it back in line. I hope that of they find issues with these jumpers, etc.…

Well shit, I should have read closer then.

Having been an American in London, I can attest that there are more statues, obelisks, etc. than you find over here in similar sized cities, and trying to figure out which ones are for what is rather difficult if you don’t have to time to go up and read the bronze plaque affixed to the pedestal. Add in the fact that…

It’s just a plain TSi, not a TSi AWD, and that kills it for me at that price. I’d justify it for the AWD, but not without.

The anti-troop sentiment definitely isn’t as pervasive as it is in places like Japan, but it’s still there. It’s also certainly on the way out at this time. The height of it was around 2002 when two American soldiers killed two 14 year old ROK girls in a traffic accident and were found not guilty by the Army. Psy was…

Hahaha! That’s gotta be the worst “I’m right, but I don’t have any facts to back it up, so I’m going to just call you ignorant” post I’ve seen in some time.

Only way to bring down North Korea is an revolt from within. Their people are getting weaker and hungry. Too bad they’re still afraid, scared, and badly mislead.

So are the housing prices etc. But DC is DC......

The parental advisory isn’t about the music, it’s covering the nips on the lady in the picture. ;)

This shit sounds like Roland keyboards from the early 80's.

I’ve always like Salvia’s “La Domenica” which definitely has a great mix of the Italo Disco and 80's Miami sound.

Man, you must have really missed out on the excellent rabbit hole from the other week then....

There was a time when a full synthetic oil change at a quick lube place would run you $70 where I live, but picking the same oil and filter up at the local auto parts store ran you about $30-40 tops. $60/hr for the half-hour max that it takes to do an oil change is pretty good value for my time.

The biggest scam I can think of these days that I’ve had to deal with fending off is the lo-jack and “oil change package” stuff they try and tack on after you’ve already gone through everything with the salesperson. Strangely, it’s happened to me more with Mazda dealers than anyone. When I bought my ‘04 6s from a…

Given the table you have posted, it doesn’t look like they’re increasing so much as staying within a certain range for the most part. It’s the percentage of total vehicular-related deaths that’s going up, but that’s because we’ve made it exponentially safer to be inside a car over the past few years with all kinds of…

...and yet the car still sold 335,000 copies last year. Somehow.

Oh, so you’re THAT guy. The one that drags down the curb appeal of the whole neighborhood because you’ve got junkers and car parts strewn all over the damned place in plain view of everyone and their brother. I can tell you exactly what’s going to happen next, because I’ve SEEN it.

That’s nothing compared to the abuses that went on at Forest Haven near DC.
