    2002 Protege5 (update Purchased!) Another Update!

    Had a 2003 since it was new, just sold it to a family member. I didn't put a lot of miles on it (sold it with 60,000 after 8 1/2 years) but it was rock solid in that time. Didn't need much beyond normal maintenance. Pros: - Go kart-like - fun to drive and throw around curves. - Small -...

    Power window failure.

    That was my exact experience as well. I tried to untangle the cable hoping to make a temporary fix, but once the cable-end snaps off the plastic bracket, it is hopelessly tangled. The good news is a new regulator will include the whole package with a new cable/track. As for Mxylplyx's comment...

    Power window failure.

    This is a common problem with the Focus. My wife had a 2001 SE that had both regulators fail in a 6 month period. Since we were getting rid of the car soon, we had to fix them. The problem is that the "bracket" that holds the window in the track is cheap plastic that weakens and breaks over...

    air / mileage credit card

    Not a problem. What I forgot to mention is if you do decide to go with this card, make sure to use an app link that gives you a bonus 6000 pts on first purchase. SPG App Link (borrowed from FW thread)

    air / mileage credit card

    If you're not looking strictly for airline miles, but general a general travel card, I'd check out hotel cards, specifically either HHonors (Hilton) or SPG (Starwood) Amex cards. Check out Fatwallet and Flyertalk for the scoop from the experts fatwallet travel credit card thread flyertalk...

    Number of credit cards does not hurt your credit score.

    I would not call people's failure to read the terms of their CC agreement "misleading" or a "scam." Every BT offer I've ever received contained the terms clearly outlined in English (not some legalese that I can't understand) that "Payments will be applied to balances with the lower/0% APR...

    Low Profile Tires: What PSI?

    Whoever is giving you the opinion to inflate your tires to 50PSI is an idiot. Read you owner's manual or doorjam for proper inflation pressures, regardless or tire size (the only exception to this is if you own a truck and are off-roading, then you want super-low pressures.) 50PSI or whatever...

    The average house in my zip code is $480K

    That's about the same as where I live (Palm Beach County, FL) Median income: $45k. Median cost of home $400k. 5 years ago, I think the avg cost of a house was like$150k or less...ridiculous.

    Tales from the retail world...

    Ah, another one from my OD store days: Working at OD up in New Jersey. 1999, I think, the year Hurricane Floyd hit and dumped massive amounts of rain on the state. Well, a bunch of us show up for work the next day, and of course the power's out. The Store manager wants us all to hang...

    Tales from the retail world...

    Here's one off the top of my head: I was working at Office Depot as a stocker in office supplies. Cashiers used to always page us stockers to the front for stupid questions that they should've been able to answer themselves. Well, one day, one of the kids that's cashiering pages me to the...

    have you ever met someone online for a date?

    Met my g/f (and eventual wife) of 2 1/2 years on lavalife.com. I was moving from NJ to FL and figured I didn't have much to lose by going online, since I didn't know anyone down here. Worked out quite well for me. My best friend gave me all kinds of grief when I told him I was on an online...

    Yuengling Brewery

    That's weird, down here in South FL, you can get Yuengling at just about any grocery store and at most bars in bottles and maybe draft. EDIT: Duh, just RTFA and I see that they have a plant down here in Tampa, that must explain it...

    Why I'll never by an XBOX - read this article

    What does this have to do with the XBOX? This will only affect XBox2 games. That said, it's pretty lame to have to pay real $$ to buy something in a Virtual World. The whole reason I play video games in the first place is escapism; that I can buy a Ferrari in a driving sim, knowing that...

    Have you had to do a self review at work?

    I have to do one every year when I get my supervisor's review. My team lead once told me "It's your opportunity to shine and point out what you've done for the past year." So I use it as such, any shortcomings or missteps my sup already knows about anyway. I try to keep it all positive and...

    Cops: One of the best shows ever!!

    My favorite scene from Cops is the one where the cop pulls this redneck in a pickup truck over, it goes: Cop to redneck: I think you've been smoking dope tonight. Redneck: What makes you think that sir? Cop: That joint you've got behind your ear was a giveaway... Hilarious, the guys...

    Called MBNA and they actually did lower my rate.

    I did the same thing as Skoorb a while back with Citibank. I did "threaten" to leave, or rather mentioned to their CS how many low interest rate offers I had been receiving in the mail from other providers, and that I was considering transferring my balance. Worked to get my % down a few points...

    Wow, i hate cheap tripods.... Should i get a Bogen Manfrotto?

    For the few (horizontal) panoramics shots I do, rotating the center column of the tripod around while keeping the ballhead locked suffices just fine. If you want to do a lot of panoramic shots though, a pan/tilt head might be a thought. But keep in mind a pan/tilt head is usually larger...

    Wow, i hate cheap tripods.... Should i get a Bogen Manfrotto?

    That's the exact setup I have for my SLR, love it. Good choice picking a head with built in quick release. Forego the quick release and you'll be kicking yourself later. The only downside to the 3001 legs for me was the lack of quick-locks, you have to deal with the screw-down locks on each leg...

    I want to move to a place close to the beach

    Anyone here do their own tint?

    DO NOT do your own tint using that crap from Walmart. In order to get a good, long-lasting tint job, you need to first use some good quality tint (Lumar is one brand name.) That crap at Walmart will turn purple in 6 months, probably bubble, and is thinner (more likely to chip/scratch if you hit...

    Eight NFL playoff teams left, rate the quarterbacks from best to worst

    Uh yeah, ok...so you're saying that if you had the choice of any of the above QB's to take the Jets to the Superbowl and win, you'd take Pennington? While he's no slouch, he can't come close to touching most of the guys on that list.
