I brought the Vibe back to the dealer today, the lease was up.It has been four years of absolutely no problems.Not a single thing ever screwed up, or broke or needed service other than the oil changes and one set of new tires.I have looked at a couple of other new vehicles:Hyundai Accent (too small...

OK, so I was at the Cambridge plant this week installing some equipment, talking to one of the engineers, when I told him that I drove a Vibe and loved it, he mentioned that he believed the Vibe engine is different than the Matrix engine, (he is in the Lexus RX program, the new ones look REALLY nice...

Here's a partial list:http://www.computerweekly.com/...y.htmProbably the DB5 from Thunderball for me.

My 05 base auto has been pretty much bulletproof, just oil changes and 1 set of tires so far.The base 1.8 is no rocket, but it's cheap on gas.The base stereo is kind of anemic, I would have gone for the moon and tunes had I known that it wasn't going to take up that much space in the back.Power wind...

I had two dinners too, the first one at my wife's girlfriend's on saturday, Turkey AND a ham, her husband made a toast and suggested that their grandkids should officially call us Uncle Larry and Aunt Cathy, which is kind of cool.Then another turkey dinner again at my mom's on Sunday, I felt bloated...

So did anyone catch the three frikkiin' hours of Heroes last night?An hour of lead-up, then two hours of fun.I can't wait for next week's episode!

Atomic

It doesn't look too bad actually, except for the really pointy nose, the way it drops down seems odd, but still something I might even consider when the Vibe's lease is up. (although it is a tough act to follow).Some of the ad copy I find amusing though:"Menacing looks and edgy styling"&qu...

Tim Hunter - Books of Magic by Neil Gaiman. (Many believe to be the inspiration for Harry Potter)Second place to Iron Man, or maybe Spidey, cuz he's a smart-a$$.A bunch of Image titles, almost everything in the DC/Vertigo line.

I think maybe it would be ok work there......Nah, I WANT to work there.and I wouldn't even have to wear safety glasses on the production floor either!http://en.autos.sympatico.msn....10303

I was having trouble with my computer. So I called Richard, the 11 year old next door whose bedroom looks like Mission Control, and asked him to come over.Richard clicked a couple of buttons and solved the problem.As he was walking away, I called after him, 'So, what was wrong?He replied, 'It was an...

My son's friend Karl has been inventing again.Add a used pocket bike to a used mountain bike, add a little welding, some ingenuity, and you get a 50kmh/30mph transport device.I took it for a short ride, it's a hoot!The whole bike: The drive parts:How it attaches to the bike:The throttle control:

Ok, so up here, for a while now, the gas stations have been basically matching the price per liter of gas to the same as a barrel of oil in US$. (3.78liters = 1 US gal)When the barrel cost went up to US$145/barrel, the gas would be CDN$1.45 per liter.As of yesterday, the barrel cost has gone DOWN to...

I've haven't been into the Sam's club here, but we have two Costco stores, one is just 5 minutes away.The best thing is when we go Saturday morning, and pig out on the samples first, that way we tend to NOT buy the 32 pc pack of fresh chicken breasts, or the $100 beef tenderloin or the 18 pack large...

good one.It's still stuck, somewhere between there, and about.........there.

I don't think I would be very happy on a scooter, maybe a nice 600 or 750cc "real" bike, probably Italian, or maybe even a simple Harley, if they weren't so pricey.I would maybe consider a PIAGGIO like this: http://www.piaggio-center.co.u...id=79 It's kind of cool, and I've seen one around...

Honestly, a rockabilly tune I've been writing the last couple of days.The melody is stuck in my head, and the only way to stop it is to finish it.

Her grounding prevented her from going on a school trip.boo-hoo hoo.What kind of precedent does this set for the rest of her life?If I disobey a rule, and get a punishment, I can just take them to court?The judge needs his head slapped, and the girl too.This is just ridiculous.http://www.nationalpos...

So, the venerable F150 is toppled at last, by Japanese branded small(er) cars.But to call the Matrix a Corolla Wagon?I don't know about you, but I don't think of the Vibe as a wagon.Crossover? Consumer Utility Vehicle? Tall Sedan? They all sound kind of sterile.This is a wagon:http://img.photobucket...

My 2 cents:If the employer (superior/supervisor etc) essentially harassed you to the point of quitting, then there may be some recourse for wrongful dismissal, but since you quit, I don't know how that would really play out in legal terms (unemployment benefits or lawsuit).An emotionally toxic workp...

Quote, originally posted by jake75 Â»not the ten trillion of today.Just for a reference as to how much ten trillion is:1 million seconds is about 11 1/2 days.1 billion seconds is about 31 3/4 years.1 trillion seconds is about 31,700 years.10 trillion is then 317,000 years.yikes.

THE CAR! I remember that movie now, it was a big black modified Lincoln or something, and apparently possessed.I still remember the scene where it was at the gates of the cemetary, and couldn't go in to kill the people hiding on there.Classic, for a TV movie.
