    Credit Cards - What is the best? Looking to get some rewards without a headache..

    +1 for the Best Buy card, that is actually a really nice contract. I only use two credit cards these days: my chevron/texaco card and my lowes card. I do most purchases on my debit card. I put all fuel and any small purchases (lunch, soda, etc) on the chevron card. I put anything from lowes on...

    Credit Cards - What is the best? Looking to get some rewards without a headache..

    First piece of advice: if you are starting out, limit yourself to 1 (ONE)(uno) card. Dont get sucked into the whole "oh, I use my texaco card for gas and my chase visa for food and my BoA card for everything else cuz that gets me the best percentages". Just forget all that, too much to keep...

    Looking for a reliable AC/heat pump

    Looking to put a heat pump in my house. There are dozens of brands to choose from, but I have no experience with any of them. Can anybody recommend a reliable brand of heat pump that isn't too expensive? In particular, tell me if you have had trouble with any particular brands. Thanks for the...

    Trying to find a youtube video

    This video has been around a while, just cant seem to find it again. It's like a 5 minute video, all drawn animation. The plot is that the artist is being paid to draw advertisements, but he makes bad/funny/distasteful ads; his drawing gets worse until his artwork has a breakdown. The video has...

    Having trouble understanding 550cc injector swap into 2JZ

    That, confuses me. With the 7M setups, they drop in the bigger injectors and then swap out the stock afm for a lexus afm, and the results are as I described above (instead of resistors, the lexus afm has a different output, which negates the need for any resistors) The end result is that have...

    Having trouble understanding 550cc injector swap into 2JZ

    My understanding (read: take this with a big damn grain of salt, cuz I'm not really experienced with this stuff): Engine fuel injector timing is based off a graph, or fuel map. Input 'x', output 'y'. 'x' = (MAP output)*(rpm) 'y' = output to injector So, if you put in larger injectors, it...

    Remember that evil VW I had that I hated?

    I'm an honest fellow. If the roads are clear and the sun is up, I'll respond to some messages. If the sun is down, or if it is raining, then no. Reasoning: rain means decreased visibility, therefore less time to react. If the sun is down, it takes a couple of seconds for my eyes to adjust from...

    Remember that evil VW I had that I hated?

    Happy to have no injuries. And, I have to admit, I'm glad it was the bug instead of the truck, but this isn't exactly what I had in mind when I wanted to get rid of it. I even had a couple buyers lined up. Had just gotten it back out of the shop yesterday about 6 hours before this happened. I...

    Remember that evil VW I had that I hated?

    :thumbs_up: Not even a seatbelt bruise. Tell you whats cool though; at no point did I feel afraid. I mean, my blood was pumping like crazy and I knew I had to get out of the car pronto, but I never felt afraid. While I have no wish to experience this again, I have to admit: it was kind of a...

    Remember that evil VW I had that I hated?

    So, may Satan's VW RIP(pieces). So, some jackhole cut down a 3-foot thick tree and drug it up to the road with the base of the trunk sitting on the yellow line. During the rainy weather, I (using my lack-of-sleep impaired excellent judgement) reach down for my sweet tea and drift my right...

    the car/truck you wish you could have back...

    I really miss my '95 ford f150. Very reliable. Very easy to work on. Everything worked like it should. Pulled like a freight train. Comfortable ride. Big bench seat to lay across.

    All my Exes are decent folk - and yours should be, too.

    My exes are fine people. But my friend's exes are nuts! I know this not because they told me that (to the contrary, my friends often defend their exes' reputations), but because I have seen and heard them. Not all exes are decent :)

    Need a reliable, cheap dd (AKA I hate VW)

    We need a car for a different purpose :) Need something reliable to haul dogs and stuff around. If not a hatchback/small suv, then a sedan with a big back seat (big enough for a couple hundred pound german shepherds/dobermans. The nice thing about a suv/hatch would be that we can put a couple...

    Need a reliable, cheap dd (AKA I hate VW)

    But how many major repairs will it cover? I may be a little hypersensitive to that at this point :(

    Need a reliable, cheap dd (AKA I hate VW)

    I am considering buying a new car for first time in my life, because a warranty sounds really appealing right now. Currently considering a jeep patriot or a kia soul. Small SUV/big hatchback + relatively cheap is what I'm looking for. Does anyone have any experience with these? Is it worth...
