Prime "Deals" are appealing if they are actually an unusually good deal. But unusually good deals are always appealing.
Prime Deal advertisements that are unimpressive in terms of savings are just annoying.
I got lucky that they didn't take the laptop. It would have been covered by insurance, but it also would have been even more annoying and inconvenient. I am now a firm believer in the death penalty for people who break into cars. Kidding, sort of...
I was just looking at Armadillo...
My favorite feature of the universal is that it doesn't work if the car's not turned on. With the regular remote in the car, someone could open my garage if my car was unlocked. Whether or not it's valid to worry about that when I don't worry about locking my car is an issue I'll have to...

The photo will not suffice.
Asking Homer, the dude who installed it and had a...

I want Ford glass that says Ford on it. Is this unreasonable?
I've added photos of my...
The Jeep seats are easier to get out. But I was delighted with the bronco 2d back seats since I can take one of them out and leave the other in. I have just a few more years before the nest empties, and then I'll take out the other seat.
It's tight for my feet when I sit in the back and the...
