    1997 Toyota Camry I-4, Any Experiences?

    Steve, I picked it up on Friday, and other then the odd problem that I will take care of in the future, it runs well. The transmission and engine seem tight and it passed emissions with flying colours. However I do hear that front end chatter whenever I drive over small bumps and such. And...

    1997 Toyota Camry I-4, Any Experiences?

    So the general consensus is that it is a reliable car, correct. That's important right now in my life (or should I say our family life - as we have a 2 year old). I can handle the nuances of the car - but the big thing for me is the engine and transmission reliability. I expect maintenance...

    1997 Toyota Camry I-4, Any Experiences?

    Thanks for all the info, I do appreciate it. I would also like to ask whether using a synthetic oil would be advisable for a car this age - or is it just superfluous? Once again, thanks for the input - always good to have some personal insight. Take Care, Darren.

    1997 Toyota Camry I-4, Any Experiences?

    I just purchased a 1997 Toyota Camry - 4 Cylinder w. Auto Transmission with 155,000 km/93,000 miles and was wondering if anyone has any anecdotal experience with this car and engine configuration. I've heard some bad things about this generation and year (specifically sludge problems, valve...

    X-Box and PC Friendly Games

    I was wondering if there are any X box and PC friendly games that can be played together on a local network as oppposed to a WAN server, that way I can play (say Halo for instance) on my PC and a friend can play it on the X Box in the other room. Any insights would be greatly appreciated...

    FS:Sony LD Player (MDP-800) + DTS Laserdiscs + Star Wars Trilogy (Faces)

    Well, the truth of the matter is that I want to sell the entire thing as a package instead of piecemeal. If I don't get too many offers, if any here, I'll probably ebay the stuff. However, I will consider you for the Stargate Extended DTS Laser if I go the ebay route. Later, Darren.

    FS:Sony LD Player (MDP-800) + DTS Laserdiscs + Star Wars Trilogy (Faces)

    The Lasedisc (Sony MDP-800) also has an optical output for the DTS signal. It has two S-VHS outputs, is a dual sided player, has headphone/mic jack for karaoke and also plays traditional CD's. The player comes with original manual, jog-dial remote and plethora of LD's including DTS versions of...

    Non western Westerns

    Okay here's the scoop, I checked with my professor and he said I am to work on National Cinemas and Westerns which is quite a distinction from what I previously posted, so anymore would be helpful. Thanks again for all your help, atleast I can justify using Leone now. Take Care, Darren.

    Non western Westerns

    Wow, great going so far! I'll certainly use many of these. Keep firing them at me, I can take it. Thanks, Darren.

    Non western Westerns

    That's true, Leone's works were made in another country but were meant to be American in setting, so I stand corrected. Maybe I just love his work so much that I was willing to bend the rules a little. However, I could always use the argument that a Fistful of Dollars is a retelling of Yojimbo...

    Non western Westerns

    Non-westerns in this case represent those elements of the west (ie. iconography, landscape, binary oppositions (white/black hats), heroic myth, chase sequences, etc) but displaced in another country. For instance, The Road Warrior, although filmed in Australia is in fact a western not filmed in...

    Non western Westerns

    Howdy folks, I'm preparing for a seminar on the aforementioned for my Master's Programme in Popular Culture and as you might have guessed one of the seminars is on the ubiquitous Western genre. However, my presentation is on non-western westerns, and I seem to be lacking on the choices. Here are...

    Chaplin's "City Lights"

    I'm a big fan of Chaplin, so of course, this is all biased. City Lights is a wonderful film, full of humanity and humility something missing in our ironic wrought narratives of today. Some people find Chaplin's work to be too sentimental, I for one find it refreshing. I don't think you would be...

    Please Identify Movie

    My guess would be the Hidden made around that time. Good Luck Darren.

    I almost did it.....

    A good thing here in Canada, which should also be applied in the U.S.A, is that rated R films mean NO one under 18 is allowed, with or without parents. So I've never seen that problem here. I've always enjoyed going to R rated films because there were no children or teenagers(under 18). Of...

    Movies Dealing with A.I.

    I'm to lead a seminar in my Digital Culture M.A. course on Artificial Intelligence in the next couple of weeks and am currently looking for films that deal with the subject on both a pejorative and positive manner. Titles I thought of were, A.I.(duh), 2001(Hal), Robocop(ED209), Bladerunner...

    Tipping Question - Part 37

    Don't think so, actually. My co-workers get $6/hour, which is below minimum wage, and the tip that's it. No extra money for fuel and the delivery charge is given to the order processing department. My wife, who was also a waitress, worked for less than minimum wage at Swiss Chalet. Maybe it's...

    Transmission Problem or Fuel System - Need Some Auto Tech Advice.

    I have a 1990 Toyota Celica GT with auto transmission. Lately I've been having problems with it stumbling when accelerating. It's starting to become real annoying. It would happen occasionally when it was cold outside but once it warmed up - no problems. Now it's starting to happen all the time...

    Review of my new Hearing Aid (as promised)

    Great review. I've been diagnosed with an acoustic neuroma and my neurosurgeon/ENT both suggested I might lose all or some of my hearing after the brain surgery. I've always felt a love for music and often feared losing it over my sight because I am so fond of classical music. I promised myself...

    Help with Adobe Acrobat Reader Forms

    My wife is applying for her Bachelor of Education this year and the forms are in .pdf files. She would like to find a way to type her responses into the respective boxes as she doesn't have the neatest pen(wo)manship around. Can this be done on the free Acrobe reader at all or are there programs...

    Help with ringing in ears

    I second (or third) the notion of getting the ringing checked out by a qualified ENT. I recently was diagnosed with Acoustic Neuroma a few weeks ago. However, I might add that I did have episodic vertigo as well. Since your wife has similar problems I doubt this is related to a tumour. Take...
