You hit the nail right on the head Naughtylady. The cheaper units, and a lot of the expensive ones, will tell you what part is reading a problem but not what the problem actually is. The O2 sensor is the best example. It reads a rich condition in the exhaust and sets off the "Check Engine"...

Big Daddy, I agree with your opinion that the wage gap between some countries overseas and North America has shrunk. I also agree with you about the increased size of the Indian middle class. I read an article recently about how many Indians are moving back to their homeland for that very...

Outsourcing is like cutting your own throat Outsourcing these days usually means sending well paying jobs out of the country. What happens then? Yes, the consumer still gets to buy his reasonably priced item. Yes, the company that sells the item makes a tidy profit. And yes, the guy who was...

With all due respect MtlAsian, you seem to have enough spare time to not only read the thread,but contribute to it too. I guess you think your 2 cents must be pretty damned important to contribute to such a "stupid" thread.

Trying to do something about the high price of gas is a good idea. Unfortunately, the number of people that would have to participte in ANY sort of effective protest would be in the tens, if not hundreds, of thousands. Good luck finding them in this "Me,Myself,and I" society.

Make the CEO's of RBC, Master Card, Visa, Sears etc call their own "help" desks any time they want something. Let's see how many jobs come back.

Tiger Paw snow tires. Costco sells them for about $100 each. Bought mine used 8 years and 3 cars ago. They now have between 60 and 70 thousand km"s on them and still have about 50% tread left.

Interesting little article in today's Gazette about the cost of the smoking ban in Qc. It states that Lotto Quebec stands to lose $150 million from lost VLT revenues alone. That does not include an additional $50 million loss from the removal of 500 machines. Expectedly, they also stand to lose...

Elizabeth, I don't think what I said was that unkind. SUGGESTING that GD jump off a bridge...Now that would be mean.

Shania Twain...not Hollywood but who cares. Catherine Zeta Jones

Gamelessdork = HOAX! GD, I have no doubt that you are probably a teenaged girl (or girls) having a good laugh at the members of this board. What you have posted so far sounds a lot like what giggly little school girls say about the "losers" they see at the mall. Anybody as insecure and...

Scam the scammer Mr Peterman et al, have a good look at those speakers. This applies to "tower" style only. If things have not changed, the cabinets/enclosures that they come in are actually quite good quality. Both material and build wise. I bought a pair of them about 7 years ago. I knew fine...

This post is certainly similar to a recent one by General Gonad, but don't blast me for it please. I average less than 35 posts per year, still a good number, but most of those posts were early on. I too find myself spending less and less time on Merb now. I still read the board on a weekly...

Oops! Brain Fart! Sorry J. I meant that you should go into the States to an auto parts. Sorry.

I do believe that it's a simple to use kit that you buy in the States. All the neccessary...nessasary...screw it! All the NEEDED hardware ie, the connection fitting is included. Just do it in the auto parts parking lot. Chances are the guy behind the counter will help you out if you need it.

Try AutoTrader.ca. You can pick the Model,YR,$,KM, even the search area. I personally prefer Ottawa/Gatineau for car shopping, since many "grossistes" can do the safety inspection for both provinces if you end up trans border shopping. Good luck.

The smoking ban has been in effect for a month now. What has changed for you guys and gals? I personally have not been to a single SC or even a restaurant (eat in) since the ban came into effect. I've had take out or delivery (food you perverts!) a couple of times, and I'll tell you; It's a...

1 last coffin nail Techman, you've given me a great idea! As one final flip of the finger to all the radical nonsmokers,or worse, reformed smokers, I will be adding a little something to my will and testament tomorrow. "I Mtwallet,being of fragmented mind and body, hereby request that upon...

It's been a week now and the world has not come to an end. Non smokers are reveling in smoke free bars and restaurants all over Quebec. Other than one stupid bitch who put her smoke out on a bartenders nose, I haven't heard much negative publicity about the ban. For now. We'll see when the...

Techman, they're probably the same kids hired by the OLF to protect us from over exposure to English! Spin, can you change your clubs to cigar lounges that happen to have live entertainment?
