As the title says, I'll be looking at a 43K mile Competition Orange 2012 Boss 302 on Monday. Asking price is 31K. Are there any common problems I should look out for? Earlier this week, I looked at it after hours (still daylight) and the paint is 9/10. Tires are almost brand new. Carfax is...

I need a good machete to clear a path through my parent's back yard. Full tang, sharp durable blade, comfortable handle, good sheath is what I need (no Danny Trejo). When my mom got ill a few years ago, everything her green thumb planted has become severely overgrown. Fruit trees, grape...

My brother just showed these to me today, others may not have seen these before either. Not exactly the best surface conditions for the RWD cars but interesting nonetheless. Part 1: 7Gex8LpVoOY Part 2: JaS7n6qKQe4

Like the title says. This is my upcoming project and I'll be renting one from Home Depot. I resodded back in 2008 and the Bermuda grass came back. I killed the whole front yard with Round Up and will hit it one more time, just to make sure. I'll throw down some fertilizer on the bare ground...

I'm in the midst of spring cleaning and really need to do something about my bank statements. They range from CC account statements, retirement statements, bank/credit union statements, home/auto insurance statements, etc. What's a good rule of thumb of how long to file them? 1 year? 2...

Does anyone know what technology is on the horizon to replace Blu-Ray, and how far away it is? I was cleaning this weekend and was comparing how my blu-ray collection has been growing to almost as many as my normal DVDs. How much sharper can the pictures get?

I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on some 18" CCW classics for my Vibrant Red 93. I like the look of either the satin black or argent painted, or clear adonized. I'm torn between the 3 and want to hear some opinions before I drop this kind of $$$ in some wheels. I don't really like the...

Has anyone here had (or know someone who has) an epidural steroid injection for back pain? I have some disk issues in the L3,4,5 and S1 area and was advised to get this procedure (along with taking Lyrica) before I begin physical therapy. This has been a chronic problem for me since 2008. I...

I'm thinking about getting my 93GT repainted (Vibrant Red). I got a quote from a shop in Clearwater, FL last week for $1600 (quote is good for 6 months). This shop came recommended from a co-worker. The guy that did the estimate said it would take about a week. He said the job would consist...

I may be in the market for a nice, low mileage (30K miles) used sedan (2005-2008) in a couple of months. I really like the way a friend's 04 745Li drives, and I also really like the look of the A8L. I've never owned a foreign car, only these wonderful Fords. Has anyone had any experience with...

Who among us really knows their stuff? I've heard of the Boss 302, Boss 351C, and Boss 429 being underrated from the factory. So what's up with the 93 Cobra engine? I've heard everything from 235 to 275. So what was the true documented rating, and what different engine components got it to...

You know, Thor's hammer. He was one of my favorite comic book heroes as a kid and always pronounced it "meeyol-neer". How far off am I? I've been seeing more and more ads for the movie and it just got me thinking.

A year ago my Mom and Dad had to move in with my brother and I b/c my Mom developed cancer. She only 66 years young but she's aged 5-10 years since her treatments began. My Dad, who smoked for 40+ years is actually doing pretty well (he stopped cold turkey over 10 years ago). For those of you...

What is the significance of the palm tree and crescent moon symbols on the 25 yard line on either side of the field? I'm pretty sure I've seen the same symbols on the rear window of some cars, but until now I thought that maybe it was a Middle Eastern or Arab thing. I'm watching the Clemson/S...

I'll try to keep this as simple as possible. I am currently an hourly employee and with midnight, weekend, holiday and OT (3-4 hrs bi-weekly) shift differential I make about 82K gross. I work in a laboratory and my current job description has a daily stress level of 7-8, sometimes reaching a 9...

Long story short, I haven't spent much time in the garage lately due to helping with my Mother's illness (cancer). I went into the garage to get a root beer from my mini fridge and see 2 dead wolf spiders and a third spider of unknown species under my Craftsman tool chest. I stop to take a...

Secretly wipe your silverware before you use it? I was at the Cheesecake Factory last Sunday and the silverware wasn't the problem-it was the filthy menus that needed to be ran through the dishwasher.

I'm on my third clutch since I've had my 93. The stock one went out around 90K, the second went out at 180K, and I'm now approaching 270K. A month and a half ago it got increasingly difficult to get in any gear after it got warm. Now it's a chore to get in gear even at cold start up. Clutch...

Westbound on Howard Franklin Bridge around 0600. A new edge of undetermined color in the lefthand lane racing a dark blue/black Porsche in the far right lane. I was chugging along in the King Ranch thinking about the workday ahead and see two sets of headlights in the rear view hauling serious...

Who's been to Al's #1 Italian Beef? I saw a Man vs. Food episode on the Travel Channel featuring Chicago pig-out joints and the segment on this place had my undivided attention. Is it as good as they made it seem? My mouth is watering just thinking about it. I'm making a trip up there this...

Is there an acceptable mph over the speed limit that an LEO usually won't pull you over? 5 mph? 6 mph? No buffer zone at all? Does the amount of traffic come into play? I do a ton of highway driving in the early morning and if no one is on the road I'll set the cruise to 75 (in a 70 mph...

What is the bright object seen just after dusk in the NW sky about 30 degrees above the horizon? It's brighter than any star and has been visible since late November of last year. I'm in Tampa, FL. Is it a planet?

I've lost about 25% of all of my Roth/403b/pension account from work this last quarter. When I look at the amount I contributed this past quarter, I basically could have burned it in my backyard, and made an additional 15K withdrawal and burned it just to keep the fire going. I know things...

Saw these clips of a 72 Chevelle and absolutely love the sound. I'd love to get the 347 I'm building this summer to sound even more violent. What kind of heads/cam would do it? YouTube - 72 Chevelle Drive By 3 YouTube - 72 Chevelle Garage Drive Out

That's funny. I saw that accident on my way home on I-75. That sign in the background says Zephyrhills/Wesley Chapel 1 mile.
