I don't remember this one

PLEASE RISE FOR THE FUTURAMA THEME SONG

Or some of the others. Maybe there is hope yet I will see a few "new" ones.

Thanks for fixing it. It's blocked at work, so I had it up on my blackberry, and typed it in manually. Oh well...

It really did surprise me to see them post that. Seems like the writer hangs his hat on the same usual rhetoric and "tips and tricks" that other media spouts on a weekly basis. Someone talks to some mechanic guy who has an opinion, and then they try to write about it like it's news to the millions of the rest of us.

I just don't see what's so difficult about following what the manual says. The people who engineered the car tell you what weight oil to use, what octane to fill it with, and what pressure to fill the OEM tires. If you don't know what you're doing to your car, don't listen to car care tips from a journalist.

I'm just glad I filled my tank Tuesday even though it was still over 1/2... when I drove by the same station on Thursday the price was up another 5 cents per gallon.

It's to the point now where if I use more than 2 gallons I fill the car. You never know how high the freaking price will be next time

Well, gas seems to be going up about 15 cents a week. Premium just went over $4.00 here today.
