Cleaning the Air Filter
I think my air filter is about ready to be cleaned. I believe it is washable because its the aftermarket cone filter kind. So is there any special way to clean these or can I just use good ol' soap and water? Also, I've seen some filters that say they are "oilable" or something like that. I'm not use if mine is or not but what does that mean and does it hurt if I don't do it?

Calling All C&G Computer Guys...
1. I'd keep IE. Firefox has its flaws as well. For me, it plays GIFs too fast sometimes and some infrequent popups still occur. 2. Use a spyware detection program to see if any has accumulated on your computer. A lot of it running at the same time can slow down your computer. Also, Windows has two programs: Disk Defragmenter and ScanDisk. You can run these to rearrange files on your computer to supposedly spped up your computer. I'm not entirely sure it makes a big difference. Some people would advise simply backing up your personal files and reinstalling Windows from scratch if it gets unbearably slow.

Roller Coasters
I went to Six Flags New England last Friday. The most intense one I rode was the Batman Dark Knight coaster. I must have said "Oh, sh*t!" about 20 times throughout the whole thing. :P Pics (not mine): The whole thing...

If you could DROP 5 GM models
Buick Terraza: Buick + minivan = :blink: Pontiac Torrent: Really very little reason to buy this as opposed to the Equinox and does not fit the sporty niche Pontiac is trying to compete in. Pontiac SV6: Same problems as Torrent Chevy SSR: In spite of it's retro charm, I can't see why anyone would buy this (particlarly over a Corvette) Saturn Ion: This car just needs to go and have an Astra VXR replace it pronto.

One night less than a week ago, I saw a scooter gang of about ten guys on the road. It's something you don't see every day. :huh:
