gasoline container
Almost any container starts to smell of gasoline after a while since every time you fill it a few drops get spilled. I tried different containers, but the smell always gets back after a few fillings. I've resorted to keeping the small container in the garage in case I ever need a little fuel and... -

Anal car owners / Recommended car cleaning/care
I discovered that the soap intake on my kärcher high pressure cleaner accepts turtle wax shampoo and "wax when wet" liquid. It considerably speeds up the washing and waxing time needed. (I don't know if it is any good for the kärcher though, but the car looks clean anyway) -

auto wax stripes
At the moment, there are so much pollen in the air that the wax stripes are not even visible anymore. I still have to get a clay bar, but it has gotten better by washing with auto shampoo a few more times. -

Holy ****!! Urgent action needed!...
So there is going to be chocolate "classic style" which contains actual chocolate and new chocolate where the only relation to chocolate is the name on the wrapper? And then to image that even cadbury is considered unedibly when compared to normal chocolate pralines. -

auto wax stripes
I can get that past my wife as "cleaning products" though. I've run out of excuses concerning the need for better flashlights. Do the wax products help in repelling dust or would it small particles remain stuck? (incredible amounts of tree pollen turn my black car yellow in about three days... -

auto wax stripes
Does anybody know of a good way to get rid of a bad auto waxing job? I washed my car last weekend (black metallic Volkswagen) and used armour-all wax which had to be applied when the car was wet and then dried normally. I did this, but the end effect is that my entire car now looks like a badly... -

Shootings at Virginia Tech
This point puts the pro/anti gun debates in pretty good perspective. There are already way too much guns available in order to make any difference by prohibiting them. Even if they were prohibited, how would you prevent people from carrying them? At the same time, people who are incapable of... -

Ambilight spinoff
I just stumbled upon a site from Philips where for 2007 games and DVD experience would be enhanced with fans, colored lights and speakers. http://www.ambx.com/site/consumer/film Never mind the fans and speakers, but it's the lights part which intrests me. It seems to work in the same way as... -

Advice about diesel VW's, please!
Concerning the VW Diesels, is the 1.9 litre 90bhp TDI available? I had those in both an audi and my vw golf and I managed 150.000 miles in 10 years with it without any big problems. All I had to replace over the years was a rear window wiper motor, some lightbulbs, a 20$ relais in the egine bay... -

Tattoos on opposite sex
I like small tattoos like a cats paw or something like that. Unfortunately when you see tattoos they often have faded from black to greenish. It'd be neat to have them invisible and reacting to UV light though. Kind of like a fluorescent marker.
