Honestly whats your time worth? I've been using the carpool lane for the last few years (approximately 3) to turn my hour+ commute home into 30 minutes. Every night I save 30-50 minutes. I got caught once and I happily paid the 289 fine. Assuming (conservatively) I've used it 4/week for 2 years...

Perfect first post. Nailed it!

So in a nut shell we should tell people in other countries what they should and shouldn't do because we know better and we have a duty to do so. I'm sure that would go over real well...

This is the answer for anyone without cable/satellite, or people who live in blackout areas who want to see HD NHL or NBA games on their TV. Get a Roku 3. On your PC google the site Hockey Streams (they also have an NBA site called Ball Streams). You give a "donation" and you can watch every...

I read gapegate and was excited to see where this would lead. Disappointed.

roof line in the rear to the trunk is off. Looks weird to me. Interior looks nice but the body has to get you interested enough to have a seat. Acura seems to either just miss the mark, or miss it by a mile. This seems like a "just missed".

I'm all for the technology. It could be great. I'd love to see it happen and I'm far from a civil rights monger. I love my HOA because it keeps idiots from parking cars on their lawns and doing a host of other things I think are ugly/rude/ridiculous. It limits my freedom, but I'm ok with that...

Hate to be the pessimist but lane assist is a lot different then self driving cars that can navigate a normal surface street with twists and turns, pedestrians, dogs, cross guards... Google has been testing self driving cars (even on some city streets) but they're not perfect. Ensuring all...

Congrats! I have to ask though... What happened to your old third child? :biggrin:

He didn't state Nationwide ever took possession of the vehicle, he said that a Nationwide adjuster "came by". The owner probably had possession of the CRV the entire time until Progressive got involved. Second, Nationwide didn't consider the CRV stolen, they likely found the other car to be...

I dont know if you are returning the check or sitting on the funds and hoping they don't notice (I don't care to know either way), but I wouldn't spend the extra portion for 3-6 months. Since they willingly gave it to you, you might legally be entitled to keep it, but I'm not sure. If I was...

I used to work for Progressive handling claims. Unless you signed sales paperwork the car is yours. I wouldn't give you a check without getting the paperwork completed - that's basic 101 claims handling. If they overpaid you that is on them. On total loss payments I was trained to make out the...

Same technique is used to fix some of the crappy Bluetooth modules Acura used around in the in the mid-2000's. Though it doesn't involve an oven, the famous fix for Xbox 360's red ring of death was to wrap them in a towel, which was essentially doing the same thing. The trapped heat from the...

email sent, thanks for the offer.

If I had 20K to park for 10-20 years I'd buy one. I bet there would be at least one rich person 20 years from now who would pay big bucks to get a zero mile specimen.

Resell value is always a consideration... I wouldn't consider a new Hyundai much less a used one

Because Apple tends to release products in September and October, and there has been a historic spike in their share price after the events are announced (but before they are actually held).

Also, Dow has a history of not including stocks with high share prices (200+). Now that Apple is below 100 it appears a likely candidate to be added.

Something tells me Jimbo isn't in the market any longer...

I've seen a lot of porb in my day so I'm an unofficial expert... Don't schedule the "pool boy" to come by on the wife's day off. They are apparently irresistible. :biggrin:

As a father with four and two year old girls, it's hard to read your posts without getting choked up. There are no words. My deepest sympathies.

It won't. The split essentially just changes the price to get in the door. To return to 650, in reverse, would be saying Apple is worth 7x what it was last week (650 x 7 = 4550 per share had they not split). Not gonna happen. The peak value of Apple stock at 705 has been adjusted to 100.72 to...

Play dumb. 60% of the time it works every time.

^ I live in Camas WA which is about 15 miles northeast of downtown Portland where I work and agree that the weather here is fairly mild. Mostly 40's in the winter and 70-80's in the summer. We get a snow storm that puts down 2-3 inches every three years or so. This winter we saw two days of...
