    What car do you want to own?

    My Cherokee Limited's mileage has mostly been around 22 mpg. 80% of my driving is around town so that doesn't help any. When I have been out on the expressway I can easily hit 24 mpg. I believe that part of my problem is that my engine is still tight. My Cherokee will be 2 years old on November...

    What car do you want to own?

    I bought and custom ordered the vehicle I want to own in the fall of 2013. A 2014 Jeep Cherokee Limited, 3.2L, ADII with the 9 speed transmission / off road lifted suspension option. This vehicle has been a dream and I have not had any trouble with it coming up on 2 years now. The Uconnect...

    Lost In Space: The Complete Adventures (Blu-ray) Available for Preorder

    Matt, if you check social media, people are blaming UPS and not FOX over damaged packaging. With the possible exception of a few die hard OCD collectors people are glad to get this in what ever shape. They will do the best they can with what they have. People who were paying attention got this...

    What annoys you?

    Home owner's associations. Mostly a bunch of little old ladies who have no idea what they are doing but want to play Hitler and tell others what to do and how they should live.

    The tide is turning on Apple Pay

    Why would they do that when they have the Red Card and Cartwheel programs that everyone can use and not need to have an expensive Apple product? I do have a smartphone but it is a Tracfone. To the average blue collar Michigan resident expensive iPhones and iWatches are only pipe dreams.

    Google Officially Launches "Fi" Cellular Service - Are You Interested?

    I'll stick with my Android Tracfone (Samsung Galaxy) that rides on the Verizon network. I have never paid more then $100 for an entire year of service. Coverage is great. Customer Service is great as long as you only use the Miami U.S. headquarters office. The best thing is it works great with...

    Assigned seating in movie theaters

    So we are out and on the spur of the moment decide to go to a movie, Whoops I guess that is out now because all of the good seats are spoken for. Guess I will vote with my wallet and just go to my home theater where you can choose your seat, come as you are, and when you want. Refreshments are...

    Mannix is Coming! (All things Mannix w/spoilers)

    I so understand what you are talking about. I recently retired after 31 years of public school teaching. I was so frustrated by legislators, administrators, and school boards who think they can judge a teacher's performance by student's responses to a standardized test. So a student can parrot...

    Home theater speaker brands

    Polks are very decent speakers. You get a lot of bang for the buck. The most economical place to get them is from Polk's outlet store on eBay. They also are quite frequently on sale at Best Buy and Newegg. Polk has sort of a strange setup. Their offices are in Boston, Massachusetts while their...

    Better Call Saul (AMC) - Season 1

    That scene was needed to show the similarities between Jimmy and his brother. Chuck had a break down and so did Jimmy. The difference though is that Chuck is wallowing in his and Jimmy is struggling on. In many ways Jimmy is the stronger of the two.
