    Fight it or Pay it?

    Preface: Wesport, CT is a rather affluent area and with that comes bothersome cops. If you've ever been to a similar area, you know that cops will haggle you for minor infractions. They don't tend to deal with a lot of theft, vandalism, and such, so traffic enforcement and drugs/alcohol is...

    Want softer MFs? Like much softer?

    Add more vinegar! I've tried products from standard detergents, degreasers, APCs, dedicated MF cleaners, and just about everything in between. I always seems to come back to the same regimen, but today I went a little over the top. Here's what I did for a load of 12 towels and 4 MF...

    2002 Aspen White Subaru Impreza WRX The condition of this vehicle was 'good'. Some moderate swirling, light contamination, and standard levels of soil. I did the interior (no pics) and exterior and it took me a bit longer than usual (4.5 hours) due to some unnecessary breaks for rain...

    Cross Country Clean-up - 2003 Honda Pilot Edition

    I did this Honda Pilot on Friday and took the first weekend off I've had in a very long time :). This family (husband, wife, 2 young children, and a dog) just took a cross country trip (I believe to/from Texas) and the vehicle needed a nice once-over to bring it back to 'new' condition...

    In lieu of bad parking jobs...

    and free business cards from vistaprint.com, I decided, enough was enough. Some people purely could give three sh1ts about how they park/drive. Rather than start a blacktop brawl, I thought I'd leave them with a nice little memento strategically placed facing out on their driver's side window...

    Any NetFlix or Blockbuster Online users out there?

    Liz and I aren't much of impulse movie renters nor do we rent anything that abstract. So, what I'm saying is, we plan ahead for a movie night, and usually rent a more 'mainsteam' title. We have looked into Blockbuster Online and Netflix for this very reason. It would be nice to have the...
