    03 DII with home link mirror is wobbling. Any idea how to tighten it? I have tried hitting it from the bottom to tighten it into the slide but to no avail. My guess would be that it's loose die to being removed several times (cracked windshield, had to remove winshield to replace spot welds...

    Drove an LR3...I'll keep my D2, thanks

    My D2 was in service for a coolant leak this week and I had a chance to drive an LR3 for a couple of days. At first I was impressed. Yes the engine and ride qualities are smooth, yes the truck is quieter than my D2 and there is more leg room for the passangers, both front and rear. Needless...

Like clockwork, these brave Elis proceeded to exude more Harvard spirit than any Cantab...

    A little advice about MP3 players (please)

    Both my daughters want ipods for Christmas. Does anyone have any advice about getting the ipod over top of something like the Dell DJ (besides the fact that the DJ looks like a better product with a lot lower price). Or why would the Apple be better than anything else. Thanks.
