Any mechanical types around who can offer some insight? I've got an 84 GMC S-15. I'm told the rear end has gone kaput, and I'm trying to figure out what it will cost me.

Do any of you own one of these? A co-worker is selling one and after having a chance to sit in it I have so say it's about the most ocomfortable damn chair I've ever been in. Are they all like this? Does that initial comfort wear off after owning it? And how much do they generally go for new...

Just a couple of last questions before I order my speakers. I've decided to go with a pair of JBL S26II bookshelves for my mains and the JBL S Center for now. At income tax time next year I'll look into a couple more as surounds and then save for an SVS sub. The room these will be going in is...

Anyone know? Thanks.

So is anyone planning to pick up the new Iron Maiden on the 9th? This will be the first new Iron Maiden I've bought since Somewhere in Time.

Jeez, I went out to Best Buy this morning to get TTT, and The Howling SE, and came back with those two plus The Simpsons Season 3, Animal House and Vactation SE. I haven't spent this much money on dvd's in one day in a looong time. On top of that I'm planning on stopping by the mall later to...

I know this is stupid but what the hell. For some reason there are just some stars who bother me so much they can almost ruin a movie for me. I'm not talking about their talent or acting abilities but something indefinable that seems to rub me wrong. Anyone know what I'm talking about? A...
