I recently relocated from Milwaukee to the Detroit area for work. During the commute, a sheet of plastic (probably 2' by 2') flew out of an open semi-truck trailer, hit the car behind, and appears to have hit my rear passenger door flat on. Before anyone asks -- I did not take down the plate and...

It has come time to replace my 1997 Accord. Here's a list of cars I'm looking at, and my feeble attempt at highlighting positives and negatives. 1) Impreza Hatch +AWD +Road manners +Visibility -AWD -Transmission (5sp manual is vague, CVT is good for a CVT but still a CVT -Steering...

I accepted a Product Test Engineer job at Johnson Controls in Milwaukee, so it's time to leave Buffalo. I'm pretty excited about this job and life after grad school (ack!). It's difficult to leave my hometown, though. Buffalo has been good to me, but it's time to move on. In true Autopian...

I realized that most of my stuff is well over 5 years old. I'd like replacement suggestions for the following (since I have no idea about some of these products): Meguiars DACP / Mezerna IP - never really liked either of these, but accepted that good results were worth the effort Mezerna...

So I haven't been posting that much in the past year because I started graduate school in Chemical Engineering last fall and haven't had much time. I was accepted into the PhD program and took all the required classes (thermodynamics, fluid mechanics/heat and mass transfer, kinetics). I...

Hello everyone! I pulled out my Cyclo from winter storage today and found the power switch broken. Basically, the switch can be pushed into the handle of polisher itself (along with the threaded base). I was wonder if anybody knew how this could have happened, or provide a picture of a close-up...

Grad school has been busy, but I found an hour to Wash/Polish(Acrylic Prime/FPII combo)/Wax(Collinite). Polish/waxing done via cyclo. Now ready for winter - whenever it comes. Took about an hour and four minutes. :clap:

I bring you a find from my biking adventure today: This is why I love Buffalo.

I haven't been on this site in ages. I apologize if there is already another thread. I know David had similar concerns a few years ago, and probably still does. What is the consensus on buffing? I used to buff my car twice a year with a polish similar to DACP. This was when I didn't really...

This car is getting ancient. 1997 Accord. 133,000 miles. I've managed to keep my mileage/year low by riding my bike nearly everywhere from late March to mid November. 5OCT2007: Clay barred, fresh coat of Klasse All-In-One cleaner/Sealant Glaze (1:3). Ready for winter. coping (7FEB2008)...

here: Robert Moses Niagara Power Plant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia It'll be chemical and environmental engineering. This position won out over three others. I was pleasantly surprised that the "disastrous economy" still has many opportunities to offer.

So, it's time to look for a summer internship, or REU research program, for summer 2008. I'm a junior chemical engineering major. What has been everybody's experience with this process? Did you have connections, or did you get a position because you're superradsmart xawesomex?

hi hi!

Quick touch up. Since getting my bike I really don't take care of my car. It hadn't been washed in a month. I really hate cars these days. I'd rather be riding my bike. This was the remainder of my AIO + SG mixture (50/50). It proved to be durable on both my mom's and my own car, so I decided...

there was a casualty today:

...one bagel at a time.

It twas a good gift. No before pictures. I didn't have my camera charged. Weird angles because I'm two feet tall. I mean, it's dark and raining outside so I had to MacGyver a tripod. Oh. I haven't posted one of these in awhile. Process: NXT wash Mother's clay bar...

:( Autozone doesn't seem to be carrying it. Pep Boys doesn't either (although I don't know if they ever did, I always went to Autozone). I think I may try some of the Autozones in the ghetto because they may have it left over on their shelves.
