its a much older Isuzu SUV I have been begging my husband to get rid of. Its only happened this one time and I wasn't sure if it was our car or one passing by but it sure sounded close! It was recently serviced too.
it says my password is incorrect! but when I log in using my Mac no problem...on both systems I use Firefox. Both systems allow cookies too....I do have AVG virus protection on the PC - maybe I need to change settings in there?
I'm not any better than anyone here...including you. Feel free to help out. I know a little about a lot of things, so I def don't have extensive, specific knowledge about every topic. I'm sure there are things that you could talk about that would have my head spinning.
Honestly, no, and not cause I'm trying to be all manly and say guys are gross and checking out another guy's package is gay, etc. I just don't want to make anyone else, nor me, feel awkward, so for me, the easiest way to avoid that is to keep the eyes forward and eye level.
Besides, I've seen stats on the average lengths of male penises and know where I stand.
What she said. However, I don't use either, or any spyware program. I use Firefox as my browser, and it pretty much informs me anytime something is trying to be installed from a webpage. I think both AVG and Avast virus programs offer a spyware protection too. Both are free.
Well, I'd hope that anyone that's willing to drop at least 1K on me would know me well enough. However, if I won it or my mom got it for me, I'd tell the truth. I appreciate the gift, but I'd rather use a PC. Then we could spend some quality time shopping for a PC replacement and with the extra cash I'd save, we could hit up Mortons or Ruth's Chris.
A Trooper? I think all their other models are EFI. For now, I'd just be aware of how the SUV is running. If it seems ok, don't worry about it. If it happens again, let me know.
Do you store your passwords in Firefox? Maybe it's overwriting it somehow. There's an option to erase all passwords in FF. It's in the FF Options>Security tab. Try that.

yup its a Trooper. he's been eyeing the Volvo XC90s (a 2006 in particular - he refuses to buy a brand new car - tight as a drum Scotsman) so I'm trying to get him to let go of the Troop.
will do. thanks!
I have a car question! Charles, you say you "know a little about a lot of things", but I think you're selling yourself short. At least you sound like you know what you're talking about, which makes for a really good Jeopardy contestant
Ok, so my car is a 2008 and I've had it for about a year and a half. I have to park outside and live in the midwest (as in 8 months of cold weather). My rear brakes recently started sporadically making this high pitched squealing noise, and I only have 9k miles on the car! The dealer says I have rust on the rotors (?) from parking outside that needs to be ground off. I have a client who's the son of a mechanic, and he said it's not necessary to get the brakes serviced, that the rust will just fall off after time and driving it. Who's right? And should this really be happening after only 9k miles? The brakes on my last car lasted 60K miles! Thanks for your advice!

Well, we gotta give it him sometimes you know.
Apple cider huh? What about just regular apple slices? I hate tums. I will try the cider and see what's up

Do they squeal when you first brake...after the car's been sitting for a bit? It could be rust, but I know we get a lot of rain down south and I've seen rust on my rotors, but have never really heard any squealing. Also, why would it be the rears only? Also, make sure that the rear parking brake is fully disengaged. It might be something like that.
I doubt apple slices would help. You mainly want the vinegar, as it's a bit less acidic on the ph scale (stomach acid is 1, vinegar is 3ish. Which makes me wonder why water wouldn't be better as it's a 7) and therefore will help neutralize the acid a bit. You could always try a spoonful of lime (the mineral, not fruit). It's ph is 12.
