Anybody know what the market has been like lately for our cars? I'm in MA, have an 87 TR with around 180k on it, runs strong but pretty stock that I'm not really driving. Guy just knocked on my parents' door (where the car is) with an offer of 4500. Paint is recent but starting to rot in the...

Hey, I'm looking at a highway/winter car to take some of the abuse off of my TR, and came across these and think they might fit the bill. Anybody have/had one? I want reliable, comfortable, and decent on gas (non-SUV consumption). I figured I'd look at the Rivs and even the Olds Aurora. The...

(Also posted on another board- so if you've already chimed in no need to reply twice-thx for your input) Just saw an 87 solid roof TR with front end damage-junk fenders and hood. Hi mileage, pretty sure north of 200k. Second owner, owned and daily driven for 18 years. Car started on the...

Simultaneously posted in Tech, but thought there might be few gurus in here that might help. Hey, hope somebody can help me out. My rear brakes started pouring fluid out, and had the rear cylinder sitting there in pieces. Got everything apart and buttoned back up, and it seems the cylinder...

Hey, hope somebody can help me out. My rear brakes started pouring fluid out, and had the rear cylinder sitting there in pieces. Got everything apart and buttoned back up, and it seems the cylinder is loose and has some play. I'm guessing that since it is only that stupid clip that holds it...

Not sure where to put this, but can we possibly add a forum to deal with all of the political talk going on? I've basically stopped reading the lounge because everything is Bush sucks Kerry sucks Gop sucks democrats suck al-queda would be running the country if it wasn't for bush-Al-queda would...

Just bought a buddy, or some competition for my affection and disposable income, for my TR. Picked up my '04 Harley Davidson Road King Classic on Saturday. Not bad for a first bike. Black (of course), which really makes the chrome on it look good. I can't wait to get out there and start...

180k I think. Uses a little oil, leaks a little oil, scares mustangs and new passengers.

Thanks for the replies. Does anybody know of any boards like this for bikes in general/Harleys in particular?

Tried posting this earlier but it timed out or something. Anyway, 3rd attempt-apologies if the earlier ones show up too. I'm thinking about getting a Harley, and went to my cousin, who's been riding since he could walk, for some advice. Now I'm coming to the board for a second opinion on...

Fabreze all the fabric surfaces. Everything, from behind the seats to under them to rugs. Windex the windows, armor-all car cleaner for everthing-seats, rugs, dash, etc... Don't use it on clear plastic unless you've heavily diluted it. For a car that's disgusting, I start with a toothbrush...

4 HOURS! For one race! I don't know that I have that kind of concentration or time. I just picked up GTAIII again for the first time last week, and I hadn't played it in a year (actually, probably hadn't played the PS2 in about a year) and am maybe 25% done. And I consider that game about...

Thanks for the responses guys. My only concern is that I'd heard that GT3 was a little bit in depth, in that some races can take forever to run, and I'm more of an immediate gratification kind of racer. But everybody's saying great things, and it's cheap as hell now. Any other games to look at?

Hey, can anybody recommend a good racer for the PS2? Don't care about the latest and greatest, but would like to find a game where you can build up your cars, track your progress (through cooler cars, money earned, etc...) and be casual enough that you don't have to play it for like an hour to...

Devil's advocate here. Don't take anything personally. It is your fault, at least more so than hers, and she can't sue God for sending the rain. You were in her lane, and did not have control over your vehicle. You say 10 mph wasn't too fast. If I'm opposing counsel, I ask you if you...
