Anyone else live where they have giant cruising festivals?

I was there on Saturday, TraumaRN, did a couple laps in my car and had dinner. Very pleasant way to spend an afternoon. A shame that none of my friends are really into it because it would probably be fun to find somewhere to park and just people/car-watch for a while. Oddly enough it seemed...

smart car: What's the point?

I work with a guy who bought one of these and he hates it. Says he is afraid to drive it on the freeway when its windy out because the car gets pushed all over the place. Havent seen it in the parking lot recently so he may have gotten rid of it already.

Why did you pick your current car?

Daily driver is an 04 Taurus with 108k on the clock. Was dirt cheap at the time as Ford was clearing them out prior to launching the new 500, and I got A Plan. Weekend car is a Challenger R/T. Of all the cars out there it was the one I really wanted the most, so I made it happen.

Root Canal

I never had a root canal until last year. My regular dentist prides himself on his root canals, but the tooth I needed work on had a long curving root and he wasnt sure about it. So he sent me to a specialist. Like others have said a regular tooth cleaning hurt more, I really didnt feel...

looking to buy a new full size truck... any advice?

yeah even if you dont go with the boosted engine, the "base model" v6 is the new 300hp model from the Mustang that gets 30mpg in that car, and the 5.0 v8 isnt a slouch either.

Why so much hate for Detroit?

its definitely a tale of two cities - Detroit itself is probably under 800,000 residents now, and shrinking every year. Downtown is tolerable, but I wouldnt want to be caught walking around any of the neighborhoods after dark. Theres something like 60,000 abandoned or vacant houses. The...

Black male graduation rates

I grew up in a blue collar suburban area, and the public schools there get about 70 percent of the per pupil funding that Detroit Public Schools gets. Yet the graduation rates and standardized test scores are running at 3x the level of Detroit. I went to a private high school that had to make...

Black male graduation rates

I briefly considered getting a teaching certificate while I was in college, but a year substitute teaching helped me decide to go in a different direction. But I did meet a lot of other ed students, including a handful who did their student teaching in Detroit Public Schools. One thing I heard...

Has anyone mentioned that one study from Shaker Heights near Cleveland where the african-american families in that community actually had a slightly higher median income than the whites but still had significantly lower academic performance.

My new car 2010 Fusion Hybrid

is it real chrome or is the chrome-clad plastic stuff? Because if its the latter it sometimes has a clear coat on it just like the paint and can be washed like the rest of the car.
