border vs boarder, seen it on this site very Of-ten.

I always wondered why people go to pubs and restaurants when the is Beer Store and Fast Food. How do they justify the money they may as well be lighting on fire? :-)

As they say, beauty is one light switch away. It appears they were in a well lit parking lot ;-).

Never been impressed with Subaru's interiors, I don't think they qualify as premium. Performance yes.

I had Toyota and Honda on a pedestal when it comes to quality, but I've been dissapointed with my 2002 Corolla that I bought new and serviced regularly. Currently is at 230K and it burns about 1l of oil at every 500kms. Has been doing this for the past nine years, I keep wondering how did it...

I had the same thought but then assumed he meant Caddy.

Yes indeed, in 2009 they came out with the TSI engine having a timing chain instead of the belt and replacing the FSI engine from the earlier models. I do not have first hand experience with the TSI, just a few oil patches on my driveway, curtesy of a leaking plastic oil filter cap. There is an...

Different kind of bikes and people, but their solidarity is still impressive. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-22039813

If you are looking for a VAG car with a 2.0T engine, do some internet search on them to see if you still want to buy it. Great engines when it comes to performance and fuel economy, but they are in constant need of TLC. Excessive oil consumption (some people claiming 1l/1000km) and cam follower...

Badlands, Black Hills and Yellowstone (w/ Beartooth) are all excellent options. I would also add to those Devil's Tower (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devils_Tower, CE3K anyone?) and if you like a little history, there's Custer's Last Stand, not far from Beartooth. But looking at the map...

Voip.ms on 3G is very unreliable. For canadian / international calls originating from US using the ATT SIM card issue, I use the services from Call Select with a US access number. Call Select is a canadian (?) post paid long distance service with reasonable rates and good voice quality. For...

That reminds me how lucky we are, they could have banned the motorcycles altogether because they are so inherently dangerous. http://www.sun-sentinel.com/citylink/sfl-auto-erotica-its-time-to-ban-the-motorcycle-20110613,0,4414821.story

Junebugs don't go through my windshield. Also it's nice to have a choice.

+1 for Cherohala, Deals Gap is an 11 mile strech, very technical, but lacks in scenery, almost the entire run is through a forest, and therefore Cherohala is a nice change. If you can, plan to stay two nights in the area and dedicate a full day for the Gap and surroundings (Cherohala if it will...

I bought the Harbour Freight trailer as well, the foldable model. While the trailer was only $300, with tax, accessories (wheel choke, spare tire), plywood, ramp, hardware etc. ended up costing approx. $700. My tow car was a Mazda Protege5 with standard transmision, very similar in size to your...

I've taken a similar solo car trip to the Pacific in 2009 and had a blast. There are many advantages of taking the car, some you've mentioned, in addition you have a roof with you that can turn into a "motel" if needed, it's more comfortable in extreme weather, can cover more ground, easier to...

I ended up with the folding trailer from Harbour Freight (http://www.harborfreight.com/1195-lb-capacity-48-inch-x-96-inch-heavy-duty-foldable-utility-trailer-with-12-inch-wheels-90154.html), there where a few threads about this one on GTAM in 2010. The advantage of this trailer vs the...

For a while I was considering the Trailer in a bag (http://trailerinabag.com/index.html), but it is a little pricey.

I feel that if the unions want to have a future in North America, one of their priorities should be to change the work ethic of their members. As so eloquently put in post #34, and also seen first hand in the field, unions promote slacking (under various disguises) and with that comes loss of...

So, you are both planning to go and see the Great Salt Lake in Utah :D ?
