    GPS for the car

    Since I already had a lap top I got the Garman 18. It's just the antanna and software. You can up date the maps and from what I have read you can put it over google world and map quest ( I have not tried that yet) but for $120 it's very nice.

    Clifford Delta IV alarm

    If I remember right Clifford Alarms don't use any standard color code for there wiring. They go by pin number on the different connectors. Way back when I got mine (don't have the car any more) I got the pin out from the dealer. You may want to contact or find a local dealer in your area. I...

    Helmet??

    Yes the Snell 2000 helmet is good until 01/01/2012. The DOT is not legal for NHRA racing. Don't confuse this with a Snell rated helmet that is also DOT approved. As long as the Snell lable is on it your good to go. Snell 95 expire 01/01/2007. Anything with a lower Snell number has already expired.

    Helmetcity.com is a good place to look with some good prices. Also don't confuse DOT approved with Snell. There not the same. NHRA will except only the Snell or helmets with SFI approval. If there going to check them DOT approval is not in the rule book. You might also check your track. I...

    Cheapest denatured alky source in Houston

    Something you might try is calling some of the distrubutors for the chemical plants around here. Where I work we buy Methanol and Ethanol (sp) by the truck load. I would think if you had at least a 5 gal can or larger they might sell you some. Just a suggestion. Good Luck

    Anyone ever break an ankle? MAN THIS SUCKS!

    I never broke any thing in my ankle but did tare all the tendons out on the right side of my ankle. I had to have stainless clips put in my foot to attach all my tendons back again. I spent 10 weeks in a cast. It took about 6 to 9 months before my ankle was 100% again. Now I have no problems...

    Important info on closing CREDIT CARD accounts

    I ran across this a few years ago when reading the agreement on an auto pay form. I found out you are signing your rights away to stop the auto pay. I also found out when you do this with your checking account for power companies and other utilities the same thing applies. You don't have the...

    Any "BB gun" people in here?

    I never looked into repeapeter guns. I have a Benjamin HB22 pistol. Yes it's a pump, and a single shot but under 30 yards it's deadly. I have not found much need for more than one shot. For a air gun it is loud. I think the CCI low power 22 amo is about as loud but for a .22 has limited range...

    LCD..DLP..HDTV..Plasma..ARRGH

    I got the Toshiba 55" DLP 2 years ago and have been very happy with it. Yes setting it up is a pain from time to time. I have Dish Network with the HD channels and like Neal said there are not a whole lot of HD shows. All the local channels in Houston are now broadcasting in HD but because they...

    Need a rule of thumb for spark plug gap

    I don't know about any rule of thumb, but with Autolite plugs I found the gap between .032 when the car was stock then to a tight .030 when I went to 10:1 compression (running mid 10's) and as tight as .028. The .030 always run best for me. I then changed over to a full MSD system and stayed...

    Aftermarket Car Navigation -anyone use one?

    The reason you mention about the small screen is why I bought the Garmin 18. This is the software and antanna that plugs into your lap top. Since I already had the lap top it was easy to us this model and it was $120. I like the voice nagavation part while going on trips with the trailer since...

    Truck recomendations... Ford and Dodge guys.

    I think any more the after market stuff is all about the same for any brand. You can go with as many options as you got money to stick into it and as much HP as you can afford. The additional stuff is about like what's out there for the Buick GN's. Anything from up grade chips to twin turbo...

    Truck recomendations... Ford and Dodge guys.

    I have a 2003 2500 quad cab and use it as a daily driver. It does have the manual 6 speed. Over the years this is the third Dodge I have owned and have never had a problem with any of them. My current truck has the HO motor in it and in town (back and forth to work) it gets 17 to 18 mpg. On the...
