I bought a used 97 toyota tercel in 2004.   Since then I have been nothing but impressed with the car overall.  When I bought the car the two things that I was looking for was reliability and gas milage.  This car was the perfect fit in both of these areas.  A tank of gas which holds about 40 liters lasts me about 550 km doing city driving and between 600 and 650 km of ...

The Blackjack has all I need, but it definitely doesn't provide the thrill I got with my last Treo. 1. To start, Windows is very hierarchical (you know, tree-decision based, from file to file to file....)2. You can't type fast because the numbers will always be behind you, so you h a v e    t o  b e   p a t i e n t. So you have to get used to typi...

In June of 2002, my family (just the two of us at the time) purchased our Lancer OZ Rally Edition new. Since then, it has been a tribute to reliability and durability that all carmakers, US and otherwise, should use as a template.In just over 5 years, this little car has over 160,000 miles on it. Most driving has been on the freeway, but there is still a considerable amount of city driving. Sin...

I purchased a 2002 Hyundai Accent Brand new in 2002. I still own this car and drive it daily. As a single parent I am on a tight budget. This car fits my budget and above all else is the most reliable car I have ever owned. I had one problem with it when it was a couple of years old that the engine was revving up. It was still under warranty and they fied it no problem. I have let too many mile...

The 2001 Honda Civic is a great car for a used car. My Civic was purchased in January 2001 and currently with 88,000 miles on the odometer is has been a great car. There has been no major problems with my car since purchase. A few months after my purchase, Honda issued a recall on the radio due to a glitch where it reset it self, but I can not remember any other major recalls since then. I boug...

Have you ever searched for a cheap ink pen that writes every time you pick it up? Well I have found one that I love - the Bic Grip. It comes in several colors of ink. I like this pen because it writes smooth and doesn't leave breaks. The Bic company makes many products and many types of ink pens and I have tried several other varieties of Bic as well as other companies ink pens. All I ...

There aren't many chain hotels on Cape Cod, and a lot of the family owned hotels haven't been kept up as well as I'd like.   I can't see paying hundreds of dollars to stay in a resort or inn when we only need a clean, comfortable place to sleep.  The Courtyard Hyannis is a good compromise, and can be reasonably priced by Cape Cod standards, especially if you go in...

I am a former State Farm customer who switched in search of a better rate. However, with eight years experience with State Farm, I feel I can speak to my experience with them.I found State Farm to be a reliable insurer that regularly communicated with me through the mail and phone. I thought they were a good insurer albeit a bit expensive. They also are rated highly within my state when it come...

The Imation series of recordable CDs are amazing. We are not sure if they are really from imation, because each CD only costs about 25 cents and comes without a case. They come in spools of 100 and are usually sold on retail. But they are very reliable. Compared to other lower priced recordable CDS, the bad CDs in a spool of 100 is less than 5%. One thing about these CDs in spools is, after usi...

My father (for once, it wasn't the kids!) spilled soda on our keyboard, leaving us with the need to get a new keyboard.  We weren't looking for anything fancy, with loads of unnecessary bells and whistles.  And, we weren't looking for anything expensive.  We just wanted something that would get the job done, was fairly basic, and was cheap.So, we went to Target, where...

I got my PQI Travelling Disk model U172 about 2 years ago, just when the prices of USB flash drives have started to go down. It is only 1GB, but it is very sleek and light at 10g. What I appreciate about it is the speed. My computer reads data from the drive pretty fast. And I like it because it comes in a hard plastic cover, unlike my Compaq, that has a rubberized replaceable cover, but after ...

LCD and Plasma TVs are the craze these days. It doesnt take much to understand why. Its no secret the  picture and sound quality compared to traditional TVs is far better. LCD and Plasma Tvs offer a much richer viewing experience and offer more options in terms of connectivity and playback. About 2yrs ago I decided to change my years old Grundig TV for a LCD TV. After searching around for ...

Actually I don’t like the idea of having a hair dyer. Well, my mom said it’s going to make my hair damaged. I still didn’t consider buying one until one day I had to go to a party and I just washed my hair, completely forgot that I had an invitation. My hair is thick, and always takes hours for it to dry. Thanks to my neighbor, she lent me her hair dryer, Revlon RV470 Hair App...

Over the years, I've traveled many, many times. Usually, this means I need to find a hotel room, which is a hassle to me. I first discovered Red Roof Inn while visiting Kansas City about 30 years ago. They had a brand new facility and rooms cost $19.95. It was perfect for what I needed. When I travel, I am going to visit people or do some sightseeing. I'm not there to swim in the hotel ...

The problem with most laptops is that, inevitably, you'll run out of hard drive space. As we move into the era of digital video downloads, high megapixel cameras, and downloadable music, the amount of space needed to store all of these files is increasing at a rapid pace. Your options for increasing your storage are either upgrading the built-in hard drive or expanding your space with an ex...

With 50K miles on the odometer, I have to say that of all cars I've owned the IS-350 has been the best. You ride in a solid car with over 300 ponies under the hood, Porsche 911 tires, steering characteristics of the SC-430 and technology of the 21st Century. From the precise steering to the rain sensing wipers, this car out-performs and delivers. In the three years I've owned it (d...

Most of the time, it feels like crap if you're on your period. I don't know about you, but I am always freaking out when I'm on my period. I always ask "Did I leak?" and when the question pops in my head, I'm uncomfortable all day until I can get into the bathroom.Well, recently, I found a new menstrual device called the Instead Soft Cup. I looked up other menstrual cu...

 So your cell phone broke…or you don't like your old one and you need another one. The Sony Ericsson 760a is a great phone and is very user friendly. It is reliable and has a lot of great extra features! I would say the most enjoyable one is the bobble head Elvis that you can set as your background, and since the phone has motion sensors the bobble head actually moves with the...
