    Battery Good, Jeep won't start

    I got in my 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee Friday night to find out it wouldn't start. I bought it a few months ago so I figured the battery is bad, no big deal. I tried to jump it Saturday morning but that didn't work. The weird thing is thy there was some sort of clear jelly on the terminals. I...

    Hi All, I'm moving to Boston in about 2 months and my current car (2002 Grand Prix) just isn't going to cut it. I know northerners love their subarus so I have been looking at those but many of them are really ugly. I do like the Forrester and the Impreza Outback (5 door). I prefer something...

    Albuquerque/surrounding areas: does it suck?

    I have a job opportunity in New Mexico, it would be a nice raise (20%) but it's in Albuquerque. I could live anywhere in that area (within an hour or so). I am asking almighty ATOT who has lived there, what did you like/not like about it, and how's the cost of living.

    My x1950 is idling around 60C so when I try and play a game it cuts the video output and gives a GPU error. How can I underclock to try and prevent this from happening?
