    Nasty Car Vandalism Pic

    I don't think I've ever seen paint peeled like this before. Someone said it was Draino, but I have no idea. It's nasty though. I'd cry.

    Review: USA3000 Airlines Pfft!

    So the GF and I flew down to Tampa for 3 days to visit with her cousins and soak up some sun. Looked for just a couple of cheapy flights so we took Southwest out there and a USA3000 flight back, total $209pp., not too bad around Spring break. I rarely take connecting flights, even when I'm...

    Sirius vs. XM?

    This hasn't been posted in a while, and the programming changes I think. So...who likes what better and why. For rock/alternative channels? For Sports (I am a BigTen and MLB fan...I know XM claims to carry these exclusively, but does Sirius carry ANY games (Sox/Cubs/Illini))?

    I need a local 'guy' to inspect used cars

    I've never taken a used car for an inspection before buying, but I've run into some pretty shady characters in my recent search for a new daily driver. I'm thinking it may have to happen this time. Do you know anyone 'local' who inspects used cars? I've been looking around the city, and in...

    Rant: Thinking of selling...

    Because gauging interest posts aren't allowed and I haven't convinced myself yet, I'm posting here. I was thinking the other day how I'd have my Lightning paid off already had I kept it and that I really don't get much use/utility out of the Cobra (12K miles in a year, which includes 5K miles...
