A 2-5 ton portable hydraulic jack is nice to have.
I don't see too many flat tires any more though.
It takes a bit of room in the trunk (boot) but worth it if you need it.
Mine is in a handy case that weighs about 25lbs or so...had it a long time, don't remember the specs.
The factory jacks that come with most cars are an annoyance to use.
I've used it once for my truck and once for my son's car.
They can be found easy enough, parts stores, walmart, etc.-cmpm (February 28, 2013, 09:59 PM)
Since radar detectors are illegal in some places, why not a radar jammer?-Renegade (February 28, 2013, 08:06 PM)
Ca'n't help but wonder...is it really so much that WebKit rules...or more that Opera succumbs?-40hz (February 28, 2013, 10:11 AM)
Webkit and Opera are in a BDSM relationship?!-TaoPhoenix (February 28, 2013, 11:06 AM)
Only if you're the sort who thinks 'succumbing' is the same thing as 'submitting.'-40hz (February 28, 2013, 11:09 AM)
SpeedDial is Opera's new tab page.
The final feature, and perhaps the most significant, is dubbed Off-Road Mode. This is, essentially, Opera Mini mode; it routes requests through Opera's own servers to compress and reprocess webpages and hence reduce the amount of data you have to download.
that uses low-level code to stay hidden and Twitter and Google

Asides from the colour, and the steering wheel being on the other side, this is the new baby in the family.

That's a pretty damned sexy car. I really like the contours. Bet it runs like a raped ape too....-Tinman57 (February 26, 2013, 07:59 PM)
Because interest rates are at a record low, we bought a 2013 Ford Taurus in November. It's the most enjoyable car to drive I've ever owned, though I've mainly had sports cars for the past 20 years.
(see attachment in previous post)
As others note, the problem with car ownership is the cost -- of taxes, licensing, INSURANCE! (ripoff!), high cost of gas, tires, and yes, maintenance. Unless you have cash to burn, get the most reliable car you can afford, viz., a Honda, Toyota, or something else that's nice and boring. You'll thank yourself every month once it's paid off. Just make sure to take it in once a year and have it diagnosed and serviced.-zridling (February 27, 2013, 11:06 AM)
One of my first cars was a '63 Dodge Dart.
Ugliest car this side of hell! But it ran good and the heater worked.
In no particular order before I got married and had to straighten up.
'71 Ford LTD, '61 Ford Truck,
'67 Dodge Monaco-a giant of a boat
bought for $175, put a carb on it and ran fine
'69 Chevy Truck, '71 Ford Torino, '85 Ford Ranger
Here's a pick off that dart, mine did not look this good.
It was rusted so bad that if you went through a puddle,
water would come through the floor boards.-cmpm (February 26, 2013, 09:09 AM)

I totally agree, and contacted llc_silly in that regard. That was what he had meant, and had set that as a rule on his giveaway.-wraith808 (February 23, 2013, 04:47 PM)
wraithcan I suggest you point this out in the post(or am I missing something?) - one of the posters seems pretty sure they won it- or maybe better let them sort it out between themselves...
FWIW he did say 'members', which isnt 100% clear ('participants' used be called 'members' - but I presume he meant supporting members)-tomos (February 23, 2013, 05:21 PM)
Thanking you Tomosx

I've won several things through the old giveaways (thanks to mousers happiness calculator). I would fully support this idea as, like you said, only supporting members would be eligible and less likely to up and leave the site because they were only after a free product.-Josh (February 23, 2013, 05:12 PM)
