    CrowdFunding sites

    Oakland Athletics Clinch

    As a lifelong baseball fan and a season ticket holder to the Oakland A's I was thrilled to see them clinch a play-off berth with a win on Monday. Nobody picked this Cinderella team to be more then a cellar-dweller. 5 rookie starters. 29th in payroll. More then half their team are rookies...

    Toyota MR2 Spyder

    Anyone ever purchase a 2000 plus vintage of this auto and then slap a supercharger on one? I am thinking of buying one for a DD and always enjoy the extra torque of a supercharger as long as it does not reduce reliability.

    Coming to terms with your own moratality

    I would be interested to hear from fellow primers how they cope with moratality. As I get older it feels more real to me. There are more years behind me then ahead. I see a lot of those I know and people that I enjoyed seeing on TV and film pass away. I will look for your thoughts.
