    What are you riding?

    I know this is car and driver but I figured I'd start a Bike and Rider thread. What is everyone riding? I just sold my 96 FZR600 this weekend and am down to just my 2002 Kawasaki Drifter 800. It's nice to only have to worry about maintenance on one ride now. LOL

    Wisdom teeth

    Well, I finally had my wisdom teeth extracted and I must say, I think I got lucky, knock on wood. It was MUCH easier than I psyched myself up for. The surgeon said it was one of the worst he's done in a while but all went well. Took him over double the time he thought. The nice part was I...

    Any Ford Diesel guys here?

    I'm looking at getting a 1996 F-250 Diesel. It's got a newly rebuilt auto trans. How are these engine and trucks? I've never owned a diesel before but always wanted one. Anyone with experience chime in. Thanks!

    Anyone detailing Semi Trucks?

    Just curious as to what you are charging and anything else you'd like to toss in about them. I think most are painted with Imron.

    Fluorescent and incandescent lighting.

    Has anyone done this in their garage?.....I'm getting ready to start adding lights in the garage and I'm thinking of doing 50/50 fluorescent and incandescent lighting. There are a couple of reasons for me to want to do this. 1. I'd have them on separate switches and if I was detailing I's...

    Craigslist

    Craigslist is like the most entertaining thing to me. Some times I honestly feel really bad for these people because I picture someone like Cletus from "The Simpsons". Here's an ad I just found I thought I'd share: Profesional detaing and polishing (metrodetroit and monroe area) Hi my...

    Lighting layout

    I'm trying to figure out how many lights I need in my basement. It's been a loooong time since I did lighting plans so I really don't know what will be good. My basement is just a basement. It's not really finished or anything. I was just going to use those 4' dual bulb fluorescent light...

    Audi owners

    Once the lease is up on my Subaru I was thinking of looking at Audi's. The used ones in my area, in the range I want to spend, average about 100,000-180,000 miles. Are Audi turbo engines built well? I'd hate to get into a car with that sort of miles and have it shot in a year.

    Polish or Clay

    I was just reading another site and someone on there is pushing that you don't need to clay because polishing does the same thing as claying. I explained the whole embedded rail dust and stuff and they said that a polish will go deep enough to remove the containments. What do you guys think...

    Extra discount on clearance items!

    I talked to a mod that said it was cool if I posted this as long as I did not respond in this thread. We are in the process of having a clearance sale on a lot of products. Since I get weekly emails asking if there is an autopia code I decided to make one that is good until December 20th...

    Oxidation on gelcoat coming back...

    I did a boat this weekend for a family member and on one side I used SAIII and on the other I used a different brand polish. The side that I used SAIII seems to be fine but the side I used the other polish is starting to turn white again already. Both where done using a wool pad and high speed...

    My bike

    I posted pics of the bike when I first got it but never posted finished pics. These first two are when I got it a month ago and the last 3 are how the bike sits now, except my lower fairing has been painted to match the bike and is now back on. 2000 Ninja 250 (Ninjette) Here is what I did...
