    DVD audio to CD

    Anyone know how to do this? Recommend a good freeware program to do it with? I want to rip audio from a concert DVD to .wav or .mp3 format.

    Tried a few new things today...

    Gold Class Vinyl and Rubber Protectant - This stuff smells BAD. The shine level was good however, and seemed to have some slight cleaning ability. I just read another thread where someone called it "miserable". Did I buy a dud product here? Turtle Wax Leather Cleaner and Conditioner - I...

    Target Clearance! (detailing products)

    Hello all. Don't know if this is nationwide or not, but my local Target had some pretty good clearance deals going on today. I picked up NXT Spray Wax for $5.02 (down from $7.18), NXT Glass Cleaner for $3.84 (down from $5.49) and some Vroom Tire Shine to try out for $3.14 (down from $4.49)...

    XM Tuner (or Sirius for that matter)

    So, when we bought our '05 CR-V it came "XM ready". Well, the tuner that Honda wants to sell you is about $400 bucks which is crazy just to have it integrated into the head unit when you can buy a Roady for about $30 at Wal-Mart. I would like to be able to use the factory spot for the antenna...

    Ricky Bobby (starring Will Ferrell)

    This looks hilarious. NASCAR can never be mocked enough, and this trailer is pretty much what I imagine NASCAR to be complete with line dancing on the trophy stand. Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby

    Brush Recommendations

    I have two areas that I can't seem to get satisfied with during my detailing process. Wheel wells and wheels. Can anyone recommend some good brushes for both of these areas? For the wheel wells I want a brush that is low profile enough to fit in the smaller gaps, and for the wheels themselves...

    VW Phaeton

    I had no idea that VW made a $90,000 car. First of all I would NEVER spend that much on a VW, and second of all I saw one in downtown Houston the other day off of Fannin and it was TOTALLY uninspiring in real life. Is it just me or do the Jetta, Passat, and Phaeton all look remarkably similar...

    Airbag sticker removal mod (with pics)

    So, I don't know about anyone else but I HATE those airbag warning stickers in cars nowadays. I took it upon myself to remove mine today, and thought I would take photos along the way and do a write up for any like-minded individuals. Keep in mind before people get into the legalities of...

    Hook 'Em Horns!!!

    Way to go Texas! Finally Vince will get some love on the national level, and the USC media love affair can take a vacation. The better team won! What a freakin' game, the way it should be for the national title.

    Vroom Ultra MF

    Has anyone used these towels. They are the grey Vroom towels that come in a 2 pack at Target. They appear to be quite plush, and very soft. I am tempted to test them out because they seem like one of the nicer OTC towels I have seen out there.

    Gen 5 Accord Detail

    I ran out of daylight to get all the after pics I wanted, but here are some of the nasty before pics. This was easily the worst car exterior I've ever worked on. Clearcoat failure all over the place so I pretty much gave up polishing because it honestly wasn't worth the effort. Sap piles...

    #83 vs. #2

    What is the difference in aggressiveness of these two products, and is #2 anywhere near being a substitute for #83. Down the street at NAPA I can get #2 for $7.99 and they have to order #83 specially for $19.99. Major difference, and at that price I will just order some more SSR 2.5 or try...

    Paint defect question.

    OK, I am working on a Honda Accord (Gen 5) and I am encountering a paint defect that I am not sure how to classify. The clearcoat has the same checkmark failure that my brother-in-law's Gen 5 Accord has, but this one also has "hazy" areas. Some areas polish out nicely, and some look as if the...

    Selling a car privately.

    I have my '95 GMC on the market to sell privately, and as I am getting more calls and a guy this evening telling me he is going to check with his credit union to see what he can line up. I am wondering if any of you have sold a car privately, and if you have any tips. I am about to peruse the...

    Pres. Bush

    Bush allows eavesdropping. What's next? Checking our mailboxes, intercepting email (oh wait, Carnivore did that), hell just come search our houses without warrants too. Anyone who thinks that this guy is protecting Americans by doing this type of stuff needs to wake up. I find this...

    NXT over KSG?

    I have searched on this in the forums for a while now, and while I'm sure it has been addressed before I can't find a thread on it. I know it is said that NXT has some slight cleaning ability. My question is: Is the cleaning ability strong enough that I shouldn't use it as a topper for Klasse...

    Google Earth Beta

    I might be way behind the curve on this, but this program is one of the coolest things I have EVER downloaded. I just flew all over the globe in my underpants. If you don't have it, check it out. Very, very neat.

    Signs of winter coming...

    This is just too convenient to be coincidence. Link I know someone will follow up this post with all the capitalist propaganda that the market will bear such fluctuations, and that things will only sell for what their worth. Isn't it funny though how rates always go up right before...

    Rita.

    Well, I guess part of it is coming here. This will be my first since Alicia in '83. Not really looking forward to this as I have a son in the NICU on a ventilator in Texas Children's Hospital currently. Here's hoping that the power stays on, and the generators work. How many layers of SG do...

    TW Color Cure

    On another forum I frequent, someone brought this stuff up. I am getting the impression that it is a polish that is the color of your paint, is that so? Anyone used it? Is it crap? Any thoughts out there?
