    Updated: Rear ended a car making an illegal U turn. What next?

    OK, so the guy ahead of me was making a U turn at an intersection where you're only allowed to go straight. It's so cars exiting the expressway can turn left. There is a left turn lane just ahead of that intersection, that's where I thought he was going, but instead he came to a complete stop in...

    Which heatsink should I use with a Q8200?

    Apologies if this is an oft-asked question. I've been out of the loop for a few years. My Socket A Abit NF7 mainboard died, so I've upgraded to an Q8200. Along with supporting mainboard & ram, it'll get to my house today. I'm planning on keeping it at stock speeds for now, maybe slight...

    The clutch pedal clicks under changing load

    I have a 2007 Civic LX w/ ~10,000 miles on it. It has a hydraulic clutch. It's still under warranty, so I'll probably be taking it to the dealer soon. I hear a clicking noise when I give it gas or merely take my foot off the gas. From the driver's seat, it sounds like it's the clutch pedal...

    When buying a Jack...

    I'll be needing a jack for 1) A Chrysler T&C Minivan 2) A '07 Honda Civic To do simple things like rotate tires and change the oil. I'm more interested in getting one that will last more than 10 uses rather than getting one super cheap. I'm more than willing to pay extra for quality...

    Help me identify this tune

    This is the mp3. It's actually the beginning of a strokes concert, and it's called 'juicebox'. However, I've heard this 30 second portion of the song from somewhere else. My first thought is that it's Radiohead, but I've been through my collection without finding it. Any ideas? It's...

    You'd think I could park in my own garage...

    So, anyway, I have a few month old 2007 black civic lx. I got pretty good at pulling in the garage & lining up with a mark on the wall, so I got lazy about checking to make sure my rear end is all the way in the garage. Apparently, I was leaning forward a bit in my seat when lining up today, so...

    Firewire Card Advice

    Without putting too much thought into it, I ordered a VIA-based firewire card from chiefvalue.com. It's already been ordered/shipped, but apparently I can refuse shipment if I need to. It's not coming until Thurs, so I have a bit of time to think about it. Here is the one I bought (newegg...
