    Speeding ticket...need input

    Honestly, I didn't realize I was speeding. Got cited for 52 in a 35 after leaving an intersection where the speed limit gradually increases. I thought I was in the 45 mph zone, but I apparently got there too soon. All this took place over a span of just .8 mile. Actually I thought I was pulling...

    Super cold virus?

    Are there a lot of viruses going around where you're at? Is your family having a harder time getting rid of common bugs? Are you noticing a lot of people sicker? With this MRSA "strep" superbug in the news lately, it got me to thinking that perhaps many of these viruses and bacterium are...

    Wheel alignment question...

    When replacing your front tires, can a wheel alignment be done before the balancing and mounting of the new tires? Reason I ask is because my front tires are wearing excessively on the inner treads on the front. They seem to be wearing pretty bad. I want to make sure that there is nothing...

    Warning: The Golden Compass movie

    If you are a Christian parent, be cautious about allowing your child to see "The Golden Compass" to beginning showing in December at movie theatres across the country. The stories are very anti-Christian and directly targeted your children to convince them that God is evil and weak. Here is...

    Does police RADAR lock onto your ignition?

    I read on another board that police radar can lock onto the ignition signature and can also detect braking due to newer vehicles' electronics. Is there any truth in this? How does it work, if so? Educate me.

    The 'Cuda Returns!

    Concept wears Chrysler nameplate. Obviously its a spin off the Challenger, but with the pending death of the Magnum, perhaps Chrysler will expand the LX line some. I read somewhere the concept boasts 600 horsepower! http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2007/10/chrysler-unveils-new-cuda-concept-at.html

    Appendix found to have healthy purpose

    Fairly interesting conclusion. For so long, the appendix has been viewed as practically useless. Now, it appears to be instrumental in returning the bowl to a healthy status much more quickly.

    Anybody running nitrogen in their tires?

    I've read that this is becoming more popular and even some police departments are starting to use it. From my understanding it is used heavily in the airline industry and in race car tires. Nitrogen, it is said, does not leak out as bad as regular air and the tires remain cooler as well on the...

    Blue Angels Enthusiasts...

    Just thought I'd let those interested know that they just did their first showsite practice today in North Carolina and it looks like everything is a go for Saturday. They will practice again tomorrow. I happened to be in town and saw their practice and apparently the Blue Angels will...

    Just got back from the local auto show...

    ...and I must say with exception to a few other models, Ford rules in its class. Chevy, by far, has the cheapest looking interior materials that I saw. Pontiacs are about the same. Saturn, GMC and Cadillac are the best in their categories. I did like the Corvette Z06...the only Chevy I'd have...

    Dash cam video of NCSHP crash...

    I don't know if any of you remember the photo I posted a few weeks ago regarding the NCSHP Trooper that was seriously injured after crashing at high speed in an attempt to stop someone. Well, the local station just did an interview with him and he is recovering nicely considering his injuries...

    What should I ask for my 01?

    I'm in the process of selling my beloved True Blue Cobra and wonder what you guys think I should advertise it for in the paper. Its under 20,000 miles and has brand-new BFGs. Its 100% stock and after the block thread, I discovered it has the Teksid. Heck, I've even got the original window...

    Dodge Challenger may be just that.

    I came across a website that had some SEMA info on it. Dodge has shown a vintage 1970 Challenger there but with with a modern 392 C.I. HEMI engine said to be a "2008 model year" engine. The specs say 510 HP and 510 Ft. Lb. torque. If Dodge comes out with a Challenger loosely based on the old...

    Stopping in a Fire Lane and the law...

    I wanted to ask a question of our law officers. If a vehicle occupied by two licensed persons stops in a fire lane in a shopping center to make a brief delivery with the engine running and a licensed passenger or even the driver stays with the car, is this still considered illegal in most areas...

    Opinions on Toyo Proxes T1-Rs

    I know, I know...the age ole tire question. I did a search but haven't seen much about the Rs so I was just inquiring for any experience or known experience with them. They look good but I want a good tire for the money and from what I can tell I'm getting a decent deal on these. I'm...

    GM drivers w/ DRLs exempt from law?

    In North Carolina as well as other states I'm sure, you must burn headlights when operating windshield wipers. I've always thought that meant TRUE headlights, but I'd bet I see 8 out of 10 GM owners in rainy conditions not operating their vehicles with their headlights burning. I know that...

    Hot on the heels of other performance vehicle releases, Dodge has quietly revealed the Charger SRT-8, which should cost substantially less the the 300C SRT-8. Of course, this includes the 425 horsepower 6.1 Hemi, beefed up suspension and the oversized wheels/tires and Brembo brakes.

    Seatbelt problems?

    Is there any other late model Mustang owners having problems with crappy seatbelts? This makes the fourth Mustang I've owned since 1994. As most know, they have basically the same seatbelt set-up and by far these have been the most problematic! They twist, they bind up and now the driver's...

    2006 Dodge Charger Daytona R/T

    Two limited edition Dodge Charger Daytona R/Ts for the 2006 model year. The first will be produced in orange (Go ManGo) and the second will be in Top Banana. Brazen and certainly controversial for a sedan with this kind of color and styling, but the 5.7L Hemi gets a slight boost in horsepower...

    Has anyone seen a pic of True Blue...

    Cobra with a 03 rear bumper and spoiler in place of the standard issue. If anybody has seen a pic somewhere, I'd like to see it. I might have the opportunity to replace my rear bumper especially and wonder if it would look better.
