    Anyone else live where they have giant cruising festivals?

    I was there on Saturday, TraumaRN, did a couple laps in my car and had dinner. Very pleasant way to spend an afternoon. A shame that none of my friends are really into it because it would probably be fun to find somewhere to park and just people/car-watch for a while. Oddly enough it seemed...

    smart car: What's the point?

    I work with a guy who bought one of these and he hates it. Says he is afraid to drive it on the freeway when its windy out because the car gets pushed all over the place. Havent seen it in the parking lot recently so he may have gotten rid of it already.

    Why did you pick your current car?

    Daily driver is an 04 Taurus with 108k on the clock. Was dirt cheap at the time as Ford was clearing them out prior to launching the new 500, and I got A Plan. Weekend car is a Challenger R/T. Of all the cars out there it was the one I really wanted the most, so I made it happen.

    Root Canal

    I never had a root canal until last year. My regular dentist prides himself on his root canals, but the tooth I needed work on had a long curving root and he wasnt sure about it. So he sent me to a specialist. Like others have said a regular tooth cleaning hurt more, I really didnt feel...

    looking to buy a new full size truck... any advice?

    yeah even if you dont go with the boosted engine, the "base model" v6 is the new 300hp model from the Mustang that gets 30mpg in that car, and the 5.0 v8 isnt a slouch either.

    Why so much hate for Detroit?

    its definitely a tale of two cities - Detroit itself is probably under 800,000 residents now, and shrinking every year. Downtown is tolerable, but I wouldnt want to be caught walking around any of the neighborhoods after dark. Theres something like 60,000 abandoned or vacant houses. The...

    2011 Chrysler 300 revealed

    If you had told me two years ago I was going to buy a Chrysler product I would have laughed. Always bought Fords, even get the A-Plan discount. But ive had a Challenger R/T since June and its a fantastic car. And at 370hp im getting better mileage than I do in my 155hp v6 daily driver. One...

    Black male graduation rates

    I actually applied to grad school at U of Mich and wasnt accepted, despite graduating with honors from U of M's undergrad campus and loaded with recommendations from the profs with the best academic reputations. Im white, and frankly ill never know if I was lacking in academic credentials or if...

    Black male graduation rates

    I grew up in a blue collar suburban area, and the public schools there get about 70 percent of the per pupil funding that Detroit Public Schools gets. Yet the graduation rates and standardized test scores are running at 3x the level of Detroit. I went to a private high school that had to make...

    Black male graduation rates

    I briefly considered getting a teaching certificate while I was in college, but a year substitute teaching helped me decide to go in a different direction. But I did meet a lot of other ed students, including a handful who did their student teaching in Detroit Public Schools. One thing I heard...

    My new car 2010 Fusion Hybrid

    is it real chrome or is the chrome-clad plastic stuff? Because if its the latter it sometimes has a clear coat on it just like the paint and can be washed like the rest of the car.

    Ever go out to restaurants on your own?

    I generally wont eat at a sit-down restaurant by myself. I did recently because a thunderstorm knocked out my electricity for about 25 hours, and it was nice to sit somewhere with air conditioning and cold drinks with free refills. But at the same time I didnt "camp" there for an excessive...

    My new car 2010 Fusion Hybrid

    I actually had a Fusion Hybrid on my short list when I started car shopping about a year ago, but I went in a totally different direction and bought a Challenger R/T. But hey im averaging 22mpg, which is actually better than my beater Taurus (with about half the hp) im still driving to work...

    if you can live without trifles like air conditioning, windshield wipers and the backseat you can get the Challenger Drag Pack that shaves like 1000lbs off the car.

    Drove a 2010 Challenger rental car

    Just bought a Challenger R/T If memory serves they only managed to make like nine (9) 2009 v6 Challengers with the 5 speed trans. All subsequent Challengers with an auto have the 5 speed, which is a Mercedes design. Supposedly in 2012 or 2013 they may replace this with an 8 speed auto. The...

    NewEgg Rant ** UPDATE!**

    ordered a new car, factory is about 250 miles from where I live, took them three weeks to move it the first time, to another holding yard across town (40 miles away), took a week for them to get it from there to the dealer. 30 days for what is about a 5 hour drive.

    street racing

    The "street racing" area near Detroit is a special place. You have one high profile incident a few years back where someone lost control and killed someone in the crowd. If that wasnt bad enough, four suburban cops had shown up to cheer on the racers, they were even playing music through the...

    People should work for what they have

    We can toss aside the whole Inheritance Tax issue by just having the government seize all children at birth. Then there wont be so much resistance to a 100% death tax. Besides im sure the government would be better at raising your kids than you. Just like they are better and more...

    All the BS on Israel firing on the GAZA Aid Flotilla....and now this? perhaps Israeli

    I guess this means everyone on the forum is welcome to fire rockets at the place you hang your hat, or your family. And dont bother calling the cops, they'll just agree to write up a report blaming you instead. And if you do shoot one of the rocketeers, his friends will just sanitize the scene...

    Calling all EQ1 fans that want to give it a try again

    boxing (e.g. 2 boxing, 3 boxing etc) is when people play multiple characters at once - like the poster above who said they ran 11 (!) at once. I feel like I struggle just keeping one character from screwing up I couldnt imagine any more than that. Back in the day EQ wouldnt run in windowed...

    Calling all EQ1 fans that want to give it a try again

    If Sony made a proper classic server - the kind people have been clamoring for - id gladly play it. But they seem to refuse to admit that at some point the game lost its way. I even played on that Progressive server a few years back but all they really did was lock out the expansions they...

    Calling all EQ1 fans that want to give it a try again

    If you've been craving the original EQ experience, do a search for Project 1999. Its an emulated server thats been lovingly recoded back to the original 1999 vanilla version. No beastlords, no berzerkers, old freeport etc. They plan to open up Kunark and Velious roughly after the same amount...

    2011 Mustang vs. R/T Challenger

    Well this is a pretty relevant topic for me. Im probably going to order a Challenger R/T at the end of the month (when the new white color Bright White becomes available). Originally I had planned to get a Mustang because I get A Plan, but I was disappointed at the low horsepower combined...

    A few years back a philanthropist actually offered to spend $100,000,000 building brand new charter schools in the city. However there were strict limits on the number of charters at the time and the school board and teachers union vowed to use every ounce of influence to make anyone in favor...

    ICP jewelery...bet this will sell quick

    I cant stand ICP because now I can no longer enjoy Faygo like I did when I was a kid. Also, if the regional manager for the crappy retail chain you worked for in college asks you if you like ICP and you tell him that they are totally lame posers from the suburbs and you find out he's like...

    19% of Federal Employees make over $100,000 /yr (not including overtime)

    At my job all management (usually GS-13+)is non-union. The regular peons have a union, but cannot go on strike (legally anyways). Being in the union is not mandatory. Generally the union works pretty well alongside management. However you occasionally have managers who try to make...

    Lowest math scores in the nation goes to...

    I just looked up the figures for Michigan, Detroit is in the top 10% of districts in the state for funding - most of the state funding laws have special rules for "class A" districts with 100k plus, of which Detroit is the only one - that gives them an even larger share of state revenues...

    I went to a catholic high school in the Detroit suburbs. Tuition was $3k per student back then, and naturally student performance and test scores were miles ahead of Detroit schools which were getting like $7500 in funding per student at the time. So what was the difference? Divine blessing...

    DRUMMERS - chime in!

    Will you consider an American automotive manufacturer with your next purchase?
