    White Diamond

    Today's Christmas special has me wondering... Including my own, I see far more light colored vehicles than dark (though all of the black ones I see are either SUVs or P/Us). Add to that probably the majority have metal flake paint. I am assuming it will, but to what extent will WD mute the...

    Rain, sleet and snow

    here in the D/FW area this a.m. at least I think it was snow...we see it so rarely. :) It was cold enough for the snow to stick in grassy areas and on rooftops, but the major arteries were just wet. Continued temp drops could result in some icy slick streets later this evening.

    Another new site feature?

    I received several (about a dozen) "LinkBack" notifications in my e-mail today. I didn't initially pay any attention to the "LinkBack" term in the message and followed the link assuming it was a new post to a thread to which I had "subscribed". When there was no new post (and several of the...

    Karcher 1600 psi power washer

    There is an advertised sale at Target on this unit. According to the circular, regular price is @$130, with a sale price of $85.49. Looking at the Karcher site, this unit appears to be a Target exclusive unit and is the top unit in the residential line. Does anyone have any experience with...

    Bumps and bruises

    We can expect to pick up some as we pass through life. Hopefully they heal up and are eventually forgotten. We've had several members recently who have gone through some health issues that though not life threatening, they are life altering. So I write this keeping things in perspective...

    Meguiar's Gold Class Car Wash Shampoo

    & Conditioner I've been buying gallons of DG Car Wash so it's been a while since I last bought a jug of the Meguiar's GC wash, but Sunday realized I was low on soap and Car Quest was closed. WM had a 64 oz. jug for $6, so I picked one up. Filled my tire/wheel bucket with @ 3 gallons of water...

    Sir Paul McCartney

    Anyone besides me and Mrs. Clean catch Sir Paul on the Letterman show last night? I heard today that he actually played 7 songs, unfortunately we only got to hear 2. He still looks reasonably well kept and has a nice wit.

    Amazing Roll-Off

    Not so amazing for me. I feel that I've given it a fair shake but I am just simply not wowed. I've been using it 1:1 which is stronger than my usual 1:4 for APCs on tires and wheel wells. I tried it again tonight on my personal truck tires. I went over them twice and still had some sidewall...

    Tonneau covers

    Looking at the Extang RT and the Truxedo Lo Pro QT. Both seem similar in design, warranty, ease of installation, etc. There is a priced difference, with Truxedo being on the higher end. Does anyone have any first hand experience with one or both of these models? How about online resources...

    P/U Bed Liners

    Well, I thought I had made up my mind on a bed liner for the new truck. I was certain I was going to go with the Line-X product. But in the act of performing my due diligence, I came across a product of which I had a pevious misconception...the Bed Rug by Wise Industries. I thought this was a...

    Dedication to Detail / Edge

    Did I sleep through an announcement explaining that Edge pads are now owned by 3M? Or are my eyes and my browser deceiving me? It seems that my attempts all lead me to the 3M site. What's happening or what happened?

    Tax collecting

    How closely have the online vendors been following the efforts of some states to begin requiring you to collect taxes on all taxable items even on purchases made from those in locales where you do not have a physical presence? It seems that the state of NY has become fairly aggressive in...
