    Where has education gone?

    Ok, I'm not a Rhodes scholar, matter of fact I don't have a degree in anything. But for the love of God can someone please teach Journalism majors how to read and write the English language and proof read their work? Reading news stories in the last few years has become a task. Spellcheck is not...

    When You Doubt America

    Watching the news, watching the sheer levels of stupidity that our society has dropped into, sometimes it is nice to know that we are not all stupid. We are flying on Mars and can see it crystal clear. We still do cool shit in America. And don't forget, we didn't need a key for the lunar rover...

    Gamestop

    So how many times will the little guys on Reddit or some other site be able to fleece the big guys? I see where the top Wall St. guys want the SEC to come in and keep the profits rolling into the hedge funds. With modern analytics and the ability of any one to reach millions, the days of the...

    Business closings over/under.

    Watching the small guys dropping, and the nationwide companies closing, what do you think will be the final score? I'm saying 130,000 small businesses and 105 large. Doubt the individual death rate will top it.

    Autonomous Vehicles

    As more and more hype goes into the future of the automotive industry, I have been wondering what will be the rules for autonomous vehicles. If your car decides it is unsafe to drive, will it shut down? If you don't pay the loan, will it repo itself? Will the car decide if weather conditions are...

    Spring Mods

    Every year I treat my car to a mod when it comes out of hibernation. This year I am going with either window tint or front end chip guard. I am leaning towards chip guard, but may just do both. What is everybody else doing?

    Do you ever miss RAW?

    I love my GT 350, but once in a while I miss the Boss. While driving the Boss, I used to miss some of my old Mustangs that took a lot more man-handlng to keep on a line. Does anyone else miss the white knuckle sweat ride of an older Mustang? Maybe I should get an old Fox body and make a track...

    Are there any goodies that come with the GT350?

    My dealer didn't tell me if the GT350 comes with any goodies like the Boss did, or previous Shelby's. It has only been 2 weeks since I bought the car, so I didn't know if something would come in the mail.

    Muhammid Ali, another legend gone.

    Love him or hate him, he was the greatest of his time. I was always dismayed at his not being able to fully enjoy his later years.

    GoPro options

    Ok, I need some advice. I'm thinking about getting a gopro type camera but I don't need cinema quality results. I'm not adverse to spending money, but I don't want to blow cash on something that gives me 1000 features that I won't use. What is out there that you guys like?

    Just can't catch a break.(short rant)

    First weekend since June that I have had a weekend with nothing to do. Mom calls tonight, storm blew down the tree in her backyard. The tree managed to miss everything (house, garage, fence, shed) so homeowners won't pay to get rid of it. Guess I got something to do other than lay on the couch...

    Opinions on Barton Industries shifters.

    When I was at Carlisle for the Ford weekend, I got a chance to check out Barton Industries shifters/brackets. Seemed like a much nicer feel than my stock shifter, so I finally got around to ordering one. Has anyone else installed one, and if so what is your opinion on the shifter or bracket...

    What will the tech geeks take next?

    After countless tires and practice, I can do an impressive burn-out. Now the tech geeks are making it simple, just push a button.Yahoo! Ok, depending on how it works, a burn-out function could be handy, especially if it locks the front brakes.
