After reading through the weather change thread I realized it has been much colder than usual this year. Hadn't really thought about it until now. I've never really minded the cold too much, and I do enjoy some winter hobbies like snowboarding and pond hockey. This year is the first time I...

Going down to NYC for a day trip next Sunday with my girlfriend and looking for things to do down there. The only things I can think of that would interest us is Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty. Other than that, all I come up with when searching Google is a bunch of plays, art museums...

I'm an IRR Marine and I need dress blues for a wedding, so I figured I could just run down to the New London sub base and get fitted and everything. They won't let me on base without a CAC card though, which I obviously don't have since I haven't been active duty for almost 4 years now. I'm...

I was doing leg curls this morning and found myself in rhythm with my music. For some reason this made me wonder if my leg curls could generate enough electricity to power my stereo. Then I started wondering, would hooking up gym equipment to produce electricity be possible? Could all of the...

Thinking about picking up a used Tacoma if I can find the right one (post frame recall), but the whole frame issue concerns me. I believe the recall covered up to 2004, does anyone know if the 05+ models were given better corrosion protection? The crap my state coats the road with will eat...

Finally one of these scumbags got what was coming to him: 93-Year-Old Grandma Kills 'Knockout Game' Thug - National Report | National Report That's one badass grandma! :rockon::rockon::rockon:

My buddy is getting married in May, and I'm the best man. Problem is he lives in Michigan and I live in Connecticut. He told me Saginaw has decent things to do, so I was wondering if anyone here that knows the area could offer some pointers? Thanks in advance :beer:

I have a 13 year old shelf system which I love, the JVC MX-GT90. Amazon.com: Customer Reviews: JVC MX-GT90 GigaTube Compact Stereo System The receiver just went kaput on me yesterday, and I'm not sure if it would be worth it to repair it or get something new. It was a $400 system back in...

I need a new laptop, but the only thing I need it for is online classes, nothing too fancy. I got an ASUS A55, but just returned it because it was already having problems. My brother in law is recommending the Lenovo Thinkpad E530 now, and I basically just rely on his suggestions as he is much...

I just discovered that a coworker of mine makes a bunch of different artsy type things from scrap metal as a hobby. I enjoyed seeing his creations, and figured some of the gearheads here might enjoy them as well. There is even a model of the 2007 GT500 our boss owns, which he made as a gift...

I'm headed out to there for a week towards the end of April for a pilot safety course. I should have a couple free hours every evening after the class is done for the day. It will end on Thursday and I'm not flying out until Saturday, so I will have all day Friday to do things as well...

I was looking at rock climbing gear yesterday, and then got to thinking. I already have a Cobra that mostly sits in the garage, an R1 that I ride to work and school but never for pleasure, my 1911 that I never shoot, my paintball gun that I never use, my snowboard I only used once last season...

I really do not like children at all. I can tolerate them, but given the choice I would prefer not to be around them. Having one on my own would be the worst possible punishment I could think of. Therefore, I am considering a vasectomy, but the thought of having my sack cut open scares the...

I'm planning on a trip to Italy with my girlfriend at the end of the month or the beginning of August, and I'm wondering if it would be cheaper to book tickets now or wait until a week or so out? I always thought it was cheaper to get them well in advance, but I heard that sometimes the price...

Any SVTP members fly for a living? I got out of the Marines in August 2010, and I've been struggling to figure out what to do ever since. I've always wanted to be a F18 or Cobra pilot, but couldn't because of my terrible eyesight. In the back of my mind I've been kinda hoping that by the time...

I'm thinking about getting a 2007 Volvo S40 with 130xxx on it. I have no experience with these cars or Volvo's in general, and the reviews I've read seem to be either love it or hate it. My main concerns are reliability and longevity, what does SVTP think?

I work for a very small family run Ford dealership in a fairly remote part of CT. A large percentage of our customers are very old and have been coming to us for decades, and I am trying to think of ways to attract younger, newer customers. A big challenge here is our small advertising budget...

Hey guys, I just picked up my first streetbike last week. I only got to take it out a handful of times since it's almost snow season here, so it's gonna be a long winter but what can you do. I was wondering if there is an SVTP equivelant in the bike world. (I know I know, the awesomeness of...

I know one of these pops up almost every week, but I could use some fresh perspective so forgive me. A friend of mine is looking for a used car with the following requirements: AWD/4WD manual transmission would prefer a V6 or a V8, but I could talk him into a boosted 4 cylinder I...

I did a search and found plenty of leaking master cylinder problems, but none on the transmission. Got an 03 SVTF that is leaking from the bell housing, does anyone have any ideas what would cause this?

Exxon makes record first-quarter profit of $10.9bn - Business News, Business - The Independent Gas is 4.34 for regular here. These people are thieves and need to be charged as such.

With gas going past $4.00 a gallon, I have decided to get a bicycle for my daily commute. I know nothing about road bikes, and just want a decent one that I can use to get to work and back every day. I looked on craigslist and found ones from between $200 and $2,000. Anyone out there that can...

I got out of the Corps back in July, and spent the next two months wading through the mounds of paperwork to get my GI Bill benefits set up and whatnot. Going round and round with them frustrated the hell out of me, and I haven't bothered to talk to them about anything else. I'm wondering...
