My wifes car tends to get some "mysterious" scratches once in awhile. On a black car likes hers it sticks out like a soar thumb. You know those trips to Target or Walmart, end up giving you  more than you want! Grocery carts, doors from other cars, or just general scratching that happens when you rub against your car.I didn't want to spend 50-100 to pay someone to buff out th...

I was looking for a new tire for my 2006 Chevy Cobalt, and didn't want to spend alot but wanted some quality out of a tire. I purchased a set of 4 Fusion VRi 205/55/16 tires from Tirerack.com for my car. The first thing I liked about the tire was the price. The price was $68 a tire, and its hard to find a tire at that price these days. The Fusion is listed as a High Performance All Sea...

I have had Vonage for many years. But I was ready for a change and wanted to take advantage of eliminating one bill. So I decided I would take the plunge and get the special from my local cable company. I decided to get Comcast Digital Voice.The installer showed up to my house on time, and pulled out the Comcast Didigtal Voice modem. My first impression was that this RCA modem is HUGE. Now...

I have had a ear infection for over a year now. My ear just doesn't want to pop. Recently my ear became so bad that it felt like I had water in it and there was alot of pressure in my ear. I went to my doctor and he prescribed me anti-biotics. After finishing that round, I still had a ear infection which felt even worse. Another trip to the docs and another co-pay and I came out with anothe...

I had to borrow a friends car recently and he has a radar dectector inside. I haven't used a radar detector in ages but this one really impressed me. The brand was Cobra and the model number was XRS-R7.I loved the style it was small as most radar detectors are these days. It was mounted on the dash but also allows you to mount it behind the rear view mirror. It is a 6 band radar detector. T...

I went looking for a desk for my basement, where my computer is set up. I went to Staples and found a desk that I liked. The Z-Line Gemini L-Desk is exactly what I was looking for. I wanted a desk that would fit in the corner, as well as a desk with alot of open space. Unlike alot of conventional computer desks this one was the one for me. And at the price of $89.99, it was a steal. What I like...

While ATVing with one of my buddies, we went out into the woods. I noticed that he had added a rack to his ATV. I inquired about it, and he told me it was a  Kolpin ATV Tailgate Drop Rack. He stated that he had purchased it from Cabellas. I asked about the price and it was $169. Quite pricey I might add, but it looked like a solid product.  What I immediately liked was the the ac...

I went looking for a helmet for my ATV. I own a Honda TRX-300EX. My old helmet had seen better days, and I needed something new. So I started to reseach online, and found a model I liked at the Cabella's online store.The first thing I noticed was the cost of $69.99. It doesn't break the bank which is usually the number one thing I look for, without having to sacrifice safety. This is a ...

In my long career at playing Paintball, I have collected many markers. Some are good and some are bad, some are just what they say they are. Back when Nuline release the Bruizer line of markers, I thought they looked good and could have some promise. Unfortunately these markers weren't what they were made out to be.The Bruizer Bandit was the low end model in this series of markers. I purcha...

While most cars come with a security system of some sort, I was still not confortable with mine. I mean, these days we have Satellite radios, some have DVD players, GPS units etc. Do you feel comfortable with a passive system installed right from from your dealers factory? I decided I would go looking for something more and that is when I found the Crime Guard 650i5. The first thing that c...

Since I have played paintball since around the late 80s, I have been into collecting different markers. Awhile back I remember hearing about Brass Eagles Rainmaker semi auto marker. I had never seen one in action, and Brass Eagle didn't have the best name in paintball at the time.I owned a old BE Nightmare Comp marker a few years after playing, and I loved the thing to death. It was a steal...

Having a child, spills tend to happen quite often. Well my son tends to like to "play" with hit bottle or sippy cup and that usually results in a open top or a spill. My son spilled a whole cup of milk in the backseat of my car. I needed to find something to remove that stain. A friend recommended that I give Resolve a shot. I went off to my local Walmart and picked up a 22 oz bottle ...

The sun finally came out, and I was stuck out in a field for hours. What I didn't notice is the sun beating on my head. I returned home and noticed that I had a major sunburn on my head. As I didn't want it to peel and it was a bit soar, I took a trip to the local drug store, Right Aid. In the sunburn section I specifically was looking for a Aloe product, and this is where I found the S...

My wife hit a pot-hole and bent my 16" wheel on my 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt LT sedan. I went to my local dealership and they wanted $391 for the wheel! Thats right $391 for a Alluminum wheel....absolutely insane!So I looked online and found that you could get them off Ebay for about $75-$150 but who knows what you get when you order from ebay! The online GM parts store had them for $290....

By now most of you that have been reading my reviews know my son is in love with Thomas, but what little boy isn't. On my sons second birthday his aunt bought him the Thomas & Friends Classic Table and Chair set. This table costs about $50 at many of the big box stores.The table and chair set is rather light weight which is nice. You don't have to worry about your kid pulling it ove...

My son is almost two years old but he loves Thomas to death. He knows the names of most of the popular trains, moreso than I do! We were excited when we found out that "Day Out With Thomas" was coming to the Conway Scenic Railroad in North Conway, New Hampshire. We purchased out tickets online, and they had multiple dates. We went this past Saturday. We got to the site nice and early ...

I started playing paintball back in 1989. Back when we had the Splatmasters. I then upgraded to the Brass Eagle Nightmare and then to the Rebline 14.5. Paintball parkers have come a long way since then. Here I'am in the year 2008, and I see all kinds of upgrades and electronics taking over the sport.I bought the M3 Dragun Sniper quite a few years ago and it still lives up to it's name r...

Back when I used to be more active and played Paintball quite a bit, I was looking for a backup marker, in case my main one went down. I also didn't want to spend a arm and a leg on a second one either. I also wanted a marker that I could tinker with and was compatible with most components on the market.I ended up purchasing a Nuline Bruizer Outlaw marker. I think I spent around $200 for it...

Being from Vermont most people tend to be in disbelief that I don't ski more than I do. Vermont is known for skiing and Killington is one of the best ski resorts in the country.Killington is the largest ski resort in the Northeast area. The place is just huge, and if you have skied in Vermont at other ski areas, nothing will compare to this one. Killington has over 200+ trails spanning 6 pe...

One thing you will notice about your Wii when you first get it is the large amount of batteries you will burn through on the controllers. This is why I went out and purchased my Gigaware Wii Recharge station. This station will charge 2 controllers at a time (Gigaware makes a 4 station charger as well). Included is the station, 2 rechargable batteries, and a USB cable. The usb cable plugs in to ...
