Now, before I go any further, I should admit that some of our gas mileage issues may have related to my driving style. Since our stuff was so tightly packed in back, and thus there wasn't room for anything to roll around, I figured there was little chance something would break.

I had no idea any of this was going on, then I ended up at the aquarium on saturday. Thought about going to Lemons but by the time we were done it was too late. Read more

Then I moved away and my contacts moved on and I had to drive 3 hours to walk Alvarado street and the RM auction and Russo and Steele. You can walk the Russo and steele cars for $20… Read more

I often make much more than this, by simply driving my car to a destination (Mexico), letting some people fill my trunk with duffel bags, and driving it right back ( to America)! I don't even have to let it sit there! Read more
I think the comprehensive list of things Tigers will eat is: Read more
