  1. Garage/workshop build (lots of images)

    I think I mentioned this earlier in the thread but use some 1/2" plywood and paint it. You can clean it easily, install hangers on it if you need to and it will take the abuse better than drywall.
  2. Camaro owner records mechanics abusing car, scheming to get damages paid for

    That's why I prefer my small-town dealership. If they tried to pull something like that the entire town would hear about it and business would become rather difficult.
  3. So my coworker comes up to me

    I would say that it depends on the application. I think with standard manuals it can make a difference. I read somewhere that Corvette has stuck with the 6 spd because it can hit 60 mph in 1st gear. Without shifting they are constantly accelerating which gets them the lowest 0-60 times. With...
  4. Garage/workshop build (lots of images)

    One suggestion on the walls: run a row of 4x8 sheets of 3/4 plywood (on it side) around the whole perimeter. The plywood will take a beating much better than the sheetrock when say a tire rolls away and hits the wall. It is also really nice to be able to just stick a nail in it to hang...
  5. Rant: windshield wiper arm vs. refill

    I have wondered where the refills went as well. I used to replace the inserts every spring and fall because driving in northern Minn is hard on blades. Salt and sand in the winter and dirt roads in the summer can ruin a good set of blades pretty quickly.
  6. Ducting Insulation

    If your duct work is screwed together I would pick up a nut driver screwdriver if you don't have one. The screws could be 1/4 or 5/16. It works much better than using a straightblade when you need to take it apart. Check the price of the insulated flexible duct. Sometimes it is cheaper to...
  7. Car repair cost question

    I would take it to a GM Dealer because they are running some decent deals right now. Brake pads for $75 installed. I am sure replacing the rotors wouldn't add much to the price. The also have a oil-change, tire-rotation, inspection for $30. http://certifiedservice.chevrolet.com/offers/ If...
  8. Best contact solution?

    This. Never been more satisfied by a contact solution. I have had contacts for about 10 years now and have used the standard rub req'd solution, no-rub, and now the hydrogen peroxide solution (Clear Care). I keep my lenses for about 4 weeks and before using Clear Care, a new pair of contacts...
  9. Dyno-Tested: 2013 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 vs 2013 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1

    "Nobody at GM would willingly allow any car in their stable to out-power the ZR1, their flagship sports car, so they're dealing with a pecking order situation. It's an artificial power cap that the GT500 simply does not have to contend with."...
  10. Got into an accident...insurance question.

    I have dealt with insurance companies a lot recently. In February, my wife was rear-ended by someone. We contacted OUR insurance company because we have full coverage. We figured we'd get it fixed right away and then let our ins. co. go after the other person because it was clearly their...
  11. Laptop bit the dust need replacements

    If you are still looking lenovo has some pretty good deals right now on their ultra-portables. http://shop.lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/c...oID=hpfa01214&
  12. ººººº--§§§§§§§--The Freebies thread--§§§§§§§--ººººº Part 0b110 (six).

    1 GB (2x512MB) hynix DDR2 PC2-4200 SO-DIMM laptop RAM Pulled from a Dell M70 4 years ago when I upgraded the RAM. It worked when I pulled it. 512 MB (2x256BM) PC2-3200 Desktop RAM.

  14. In the market for a laptop

    I'm a software guy who is also going back to school. I was able to pick up a lenovo T410s for $700 last fall. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16834146927 I went the light and portable route because we have a decent computer lab at school and my programing is mostly done on remote...
  15. Need tires - suggestions, opinions?

    I live in MN and put BFG g-force sport All-Seasons on my car a couple years ago. I haven't been too impressed with them. They are wearing well but the traction in snow leaves something to be desired. However, the only time they left me stuck was in an unplowed parking lot after the storm the...
  16. re-watching 24: season 1 - stunning revelation

    Yep, try the movies Old School and The Girl Next Door.
  17. What do you keep in your car?

    I didn't know it was there but apparently I kept an envelope of money in my trunk. I was rear-ended 2 months ago and when the bodyshop dismantled the trunk they found it hidden in there. I bought it used and have no idea where it came from.
  18. 2nd set of wheels for summer tires - now with pics :D

    Have you thought about looking at a junk yard? Having a popular car like that I would think you should be able to find some quality OEM wheels for a decent price.
  19. Hankook DynaPro tires - crap?

    I put a set of of DynaPro ATMs on my F150 last fall, after 10,000 miles they are still in great shape. No bubbles or separation. Here's some good info on sidewall bubbles. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tiretech/techpage.jsp?techid=159
  20. Diminishing gain on Memory nowadays: how much is enough?

    Depends on what you are doing. I run 8 GBs of RAM and my machine can get bogged down running VMs, SQL server, Oracle, etc. My machine tops out at 8GB, else I would have more.
  21. Looking for 27" monitor....questions about brands

    You're correct in thinking there are only a handful of LCD manufacturers. In fact, they were accused of price fixing. This article names some manufacturers. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970203479104577124863769347498.html I have a 27" Samsung that is 2560x1440. It was around...
  22. Best 21-23" Monitor?

    I recently got a new Samsung at work. The colors are amazing. I'm not a photographer but sitting next to my laptop, it is like night and day. This model is similar to what I have http://www.cdw.com/shop/products/Samsung-2443BWT-24-Wide-LCD/1950008.aspx
  23. Portable Laptop with Intel Quad

    I have a Thinkpad T410s and I love it. It is superlight, has decent battery life, and is high quality (it's a thinkpad). I would look for whatever replaced this model. T420 maybe? I was able to pick up last year's model for a really good deal on TigerDirect. 4GB Ram, i5 M560, 128 GB SSD...
  24. Engine compression ratio - how does it affect performance and economy?

    After the air is brought into the engine and warmed up it will still contain the same number of oxygen molecules as it did in its cold state because the intake manifold is essentially a closed system. The oxygen can only go into the cylinders for combustion it can't escape the system. Even if...

  26. I can't even give this old CRT away on Craigslist

    Agreed. Tons of fun. If you are into trying some electrical experiments pull out the flyback transformer and build a jacob's ladder or a tesla coil. But be careful, those things put out some serious voltage.
  27. How long do you keep your shirts?

    I recently retired my oldest shirt as it was completely worn out. I got it in high school and it was from 2001. I would say that my shirts last 5-7 years before they become shop rags. During that time frame they progress from regular wear, to weekend wear, to shop wear, to shop/stain rags.
  28. basic e-reader or all out tablet?

    I can say that it work with gmail. it also works with this forum. Posted from my kindle.
  29. So I randomly came across a small air compressor

    It it has a filter try taking that apart. It may not be able to breathe.
  30. basic e-reader or all out tablet?

    I bought a Kindle Touch a couple months ago and would highly recommend one for someone who wants to do a lot of reading. The eink is much easier on the eyes than looking at an LCD. Also I only to have charged it about once a month and it isn't tiring to hold for hours reading at a time. The...
  31. Hard Drive Virus?

    I had the SMART HDD virus hit my desktop today. This is actually the first virus I have ever had infect one of my computers, no clue how I got it. I googled it and found this thread that walked me through on how to fix it. http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/virus-removal/remove-smart-hdd It...
  32. So I randomly came across a small air compressor

    1 and 0.6 CFM probably won't do much good for working in the shop but you could use it for blowing things out or small woodworking project. Just don't try and run a framing nailer or an impact wrench off of it.
  33. docking station

    I think both dell and lenovo are pretty good at keeping their laptops compatible with their docking stations. I can't say much for HP because I haven't own one of their laptops. Between my personal and work laptops I have used multiple dells and lenovos.
  34. PSA: Get $2 Free toward Amazon MP3s

    Awesome, thanks man.
  35. LastPass or KeePass?

    Same here. It was developed by Bruce Schneier who is a security expert and it is free. I use it at work and at home. I keep the files in synch using my home server.
  36. How do you manage your passwords??

    I use password safe developed by Bruce Schneier. If any of you are seriously using Notepad or a file on your computer, I would recommend this program. Super easy to set up, it can keep password history, and is much more secure because it encourages you to use better passwords because you don't...
