  1. I would say there is a better benefit from cooking your own foods than from buying organic pre-packaged stuff. We also try to shop at Farmer's markets and the like when we can.
  2. We pay about $72/mo ($865/yr) for our cars - 2011 Nissan Rogue with comprehensive coverage and a 1997 Mercury Sable with liability plus on it. We have all the bells and whistles, rental coverage (even on my Sable) and our homeowners is also through the same company - Hanover Insurance. I use an independent agent here in Columbus and he's always taken care of us. There was a while there I had a different car every four months and he would change my coverage with a simple email. No need to bring the car in, etc. What's nice about him is he represents a dozen or so carriers, so if something like this were to happen to me, he could negotiate a better deal elsewhere. I can PM you his info - he's in Pickerington, but he can work via phone or email.
  3. I was at Easton today and the Apple store had a shit load of these things they were trying to get rid of. Seriously though, if you insist on joining the Apple cult, know that none of these raving lunatics will let their toy out of their clutches until the next one comes out. I bet when the iPad 3 comes out in March, you'll find iPad 2s all over the place. I hear the screen will be bigger and Siri will have better tits.
  4. We buy food at Kroger, Trader Joe's and Target. Two (and a half times two) adults, two (and a half kids) - my mother in law, sister in law and nephew stay with us three days a week. I'd say we spend $450-550 between the three, but the bulk is spent at Kroger - $300+/- a month. We might eat out three times, but usually it's pizza - $20 or less. We try to eat relatively healthy and buy a lot of fresh produce and prepare most of our meals from scratch. When we were first married, we shopped almost exclusively at Trader Joe's and spent about the same, but there were only two of us. I bet we ate out once a week, too, plus I went out with the guys every Wednesday night. I'd say all in we were over $1000 a month.
  5. Yeah, the motor is essentially half of a Chevy LSx V8, scaled down.
  6. And the fact it is a $1 bill means it was a nasty stripper, too.
  7. I'm looking at them for a degree in Accounting - they have a special program for people who already have degrees. Work more or less pays for it.
  8. In the junkyard, with the rest of the car.
  9. Yeah, looks like both Boost and Virgin are on the Sprint Network. Boost gets you more, but up front it's more expensive. It goes down $5/mo every 6 months though, so it ends up cheaper for more.
  10. I checked coverage maps, and it looks like everywhere I travel has service, but there are some spotty areas on the way. But destinations are covered.
  11. Anyone out there using Virgin Mobile or Boost Mobile? Virgin looks cheaper, but both are the same concept. Thoughts, experiences? Our AT&T plan is up in December and all the big dogs are fucking me on my discount now, so I'm looking at the little guys.
  12. Water injection provides a stronger air charge. Think about it - water, by weight, is mostly oxygen, which is what breeds combustion. In a high compression, high heat environment, water breaks down to it's elemental composition, and helps a cleaner burn. The hydrogen doesn't hurt either, but the oxygen/fuel mixture is what really fuels the reaction. Methanol helps fuel it in the same manner. (This is how internet rumors get started)
  13. Welcome to OR! Here's a good one:
  14. Well, it's an improvement, that's for sure.
  15. Drunk posting again? (Half of these aren't showing up...)
  16. I'd use this but I'd be afraid it would fall apart halfway through...
