What do you think of when you hear "Garibaldi"??

Garibaldi was a characters name in the sci fi series "Babylon 5".

Check engine light

We have a 2001 Civic, and every 10,000 miles (no sooner, and no later) the light comes on and remains on. To me, that is a reminder to take the vehicle in and get it tuned up/checked out/whatever. Anything to cause you to have to take the time out of your schedule so they can reset the light...

What's the best Revenge?

This won't cause any damage, but it will get them very angry if they find out who did it: Smear limberger (sp?) cheese all over the catalitic convertor (or muffler) under the car. After about a mile (or kilometer) down the road, when it starts heating up, the smell will completely engulf the...

Car question

Car question

Hey, thanks a lot! I will try that as soon as I leave here and get to the car. I didn't get a chance last night to check the manual yet. And to back myself up a bit, I am not one to drive a car without doing any maintenance to it. An automobile is a big investment that needs taken care of...

Car question

My wife has a 2001 Honda Civic, and it just turned over 10,000 miles Friday. Imediately after, the "Maintenance Required" light comes on and stays on. I know this is just to get me to take it in and pay $60-$100 to get it reset (or to check the engine out to see if anything needs done {yeah...

Help!! Car problems!

This probably isn't your problem, but it could be something to check... Several years ago I was driving from Ohio to California, and my engine died on me somewhere in the middle of Wyoming. I was able to start it up right away as well. It did this a few times. Luckily, I was able to get to an...

PIM

Outlook 2000 (or XP if you can get that) has some nice features in it...It's very bloated though, so if you don't want/need everything it has to offer, you may want to look for something else.

E.T. on the atari 2600

Apparently Atari didn't like the game much either. It looks like they burried what they couldn't sell. (Interesting web site for other known/unknown facts.)
