    Credit Cards that earn Mileage

    If you're in an area covered by Alaska Air, take a look at the card they offer through BofA. The higher-end versions of the card include some nice features beyond just earning mileage. Also, Alaska miles transfer to British Air and Hawaiian Air, among others.

    YACT: What do you think of the new 2007 Camrys

    It's also a Volvo, if that helps.

    Squirrils...how to get rid of them

    First of all, it's "squirrel" with an "e". SQUIRREL. Trap and release is probably a good idea, though a squirrel in cage can equal one crazy-ass beast. You might also just learn to live with them. A squngee (www.squngee.com) might help.

    How little do you drive? I have only 3000 miles on my 05 Acura TL...

    To answer the OP's question, yes you should take it in for scheduled maintenance. My Civic's scheduled service includes an oil change at 10k miles and at 20k-miles/1-year. I didn't hit 10k miles over the course of my first year of ownership (my mileage is similar to the OP's) but I did have...

    YACT: What do you think of the new 2007 Camrys

    Don't get too excited about a Camry V6 in that price range -- you're definitely limited to the 4. The most disappointing thing I discovered in looking at the new Camry was that the (more desirable) SE model didn't have flip-down rear seats; a brace was added that got in the way. Very lame...

    Google Maps Mobile beta

    A hot deal! Works very well on the Samsung A900. I've also started using Opera Mini, though the fact that it doesn't recognize the volume up/down buttons as page up/down button is kind of annoying. Any other suggestions for cell phone apps?

    Water engine

    The "HHO gas" is simply a combination of hydrogen (H2) and oxygen (O2) in a stoichiometric relation to the water (H2O) put in: 2H2O --> 2H2 +O2 This conversion (electrolysis) requires an energy source -- its creation is *absolutey not* self sustaining. I don't think it's a scam, I think...

    Fun to drive roomy car that gets good MPG?

    The Mazda6 has been mentioned -- a good option. If your main objection to the Prius is that it's small, you should check it out again. The interior is very much on par with the Camry (the old Camry, at least), with significant leg room in the back.

    Some asshole just tried to kill me.

    So basically, your story is that you pissed off some lunatic by tailgating him for a few miles. Right? Wouldn't it have been easier just to leave a few car lengths and enjoy the scenery? Hell, pull over for a second and let one of the people behind you annoy him.

    Gas Prices: A Comparison

    And as for Canada's oil, it's mostly in the form of tar sands, which are far more expensive to make useful than what comes out of a standard oil well.

    Gas Prices: A Comparison

    Oh my God, you truly are without any creativity or sense of history. It's a wonder that you're the product of people who lived through the Great Depression and WWII. You called someone Hitler for making a positive remark about public transportation? You actually compared someone speaking his...

    Website critique

    Bad choice for the link 'hover' -- the text disappears into the background. How 'bout using the orange from the "Reya Lab" title text. On the topic of that title text, you might try a darker color -- brown or even black. The white outline will let it stand out from the image (perhaps even...

    San Antonio > Rest of USA

    That's a plus!?! Geez. You realize some cities are next to oceans, right?

    Does "Right Turn Signal" imply "No right turn on red"?

    In Washington State, this is the law for red arrows: (RCW 46.16.055) ----------- Vehicle operators facing a steady red arrow indication may not enter the intersection control area to make the movement indicated by such arrow, and unless entering the intersection control area to make such other...
