Actually I wasn't too surprised, since I bought it with the rust. Any of you
got some ideas of getting rid of this CHEAPLY (key word)?? It has eaten all
the
way through on the door panels. Can I use Bondo?
Also, is there a good paint that will bond to Aluminum rims? The paint thati
was on my rims has peeled off, actually, there's some rust looking 'stuff' on
the rims themselves... but it comes off pretty easily.
One more thing...
Have any of you done self-painting to a car? How do you start? What do I need
to do this? | rec.autos |
Well, thanks to everyone who has entered so far. There are at least 40

is 7:30 pm Today, Sunday, April 18, 1993! In the interest of fairness,
since I will win anyway, I feel it is only right to actually tell everyone

winner. Here they are:

HELP!!!
my wife has informed me that she wants a convertible for her next car.
We live in South Fla., so we are definitely in the right are for one.
My wife has mentioned the Miata, but I think it is too small.
I would like to wait for the new Mustangs ( Dec. '93 I think).
Anyone have any opinions on any/all convertibles in a reasonable price range. | rec.autos |
: significantly less than the value of many automobiles. And for those who will
: argue that the animals out there stealing cars and everything else (not to
: mention committing COMPLETELY senseless acts of violence, such as rape) cannot

There was an article on Jewish major leaguers in a recent issue of "Elysian

This should not be the case if they are at all reputable. Fuel injector
cleaning is done properly with a can of injector cleaner solvent which is
hooked up to the fuel system under high pressure. The car is actually run on
the solvent during the cleaning process. The equipment to properly do this is
pricey, and generally not something the average home mechanic has. The solvent
itself is not very expensive ($5-$8) and you could probably make up a hose to
fit your system and do it yourself, but I didn't tell you that... :-)
Not many in-tank cleaners are worth wasting your money on. There has been a
discussion of these products on here from time to time, and Chevron Techron
(not Pro-Gard with Techron) is generally regarded as the best. It is, however,
a bit more than $1.29 a bottle. IMHO, it will not substitute for proper
injector cleaning if they are really crudded up. You'll have to decide if the
$59 price is a better deal than spending your time and/or buying equipment to
do it. | rec.autos |
Everyone keeps talking about European expansion by 2010 thinking
wishful thoughts, but being totally off the ball.
The league format we use here is incompatible with that in Europe.
(for those that don't know, the best teams from lower divisions get
promoted and the worst get demoted).
Would European fans put up with our "if you've paid, you can play"
attitude??
How long would they support teams that are run on Ranger-based
corporate thinking (I use the term lightly). (We don't need a good
product because these duffuses in NYC would fill the arena for Ottawa's
record every year......1940!! haha (sorry, had ta say it)).
If hockey (and other pro sports) had a similar system to Europe, maybe
teams like the Rangers would be forced to compete (or get demoted the fourth
division). We'd have many more teams...centres that aren't as big (like
Halifax or Adirondack....ok, so Halifax isn't a good example) would
eventually get promoted, and every team would be somewhat competetive within
its own division (unlike Ottawa, SJ, Edmonton, etc.). Fans would eventually
get rewarded for their loyalty (or penalized for their neglect), and the
league would be more interesting and dynamic every year because of the influx
of newly promoted teams (and the Halifax Citadels win the Stanley Cup...I can
dream, can't I??)
Look at British (or any European) soccer as an example (they never have fan
problems).
Just someone who thinks our system really sucks

Carrying a pistol, loaded or unloaded, in the glove compartment, is
considered carrying a concealed weapon in Colorado and is illegal without
a concealed weapons permit. Unless the law has been changed recently,
carrying a weapon openly is legal in Colorado but concealing it is illegal.
I read a newspaper account last year where police stopped a car on a
traffic infraction and observed a .357 magnum revolver sitting on the
seat. The driver could not be cited for possessing or carrying the weapon
because it was not concealed. The article stated that if the gun had
been discovered in the glove box, it would have been considered a crime.

That plastic bodywork is useless. That torque, and an upright riding position is
better than a slightly or radically forward riding position combined with a high-rpm
low torque motor.
To a cruiser-motorcyclist, chrome has some importance. To sport-bike motorcyclists
chrome has very little impact on buying choice.
Unless motivated solely by price, these are the criteria each rider uses to select
the vehicle of choice.
To ignore these, as well as other criteria, would be insensitive. In other words,
no one motorcycle can fufill the requirements that a sport-bike rider and a cruiser
rider may have.(sometimes it's hard for *any* motorcycle to fufill a person's requirements)
You're fishing for flames, Dave.
This difference of opinion is analogous to the difference
between Sports-car owners, and luxury-car owners.
This is a moot conversation.

Alomar fans left RBI fans and Runs off this list because they are dependant
on the team. (To a large extent). If Frank Thomas hit first, he'd lose a LOT
of RBI's; and anyways how many 2nd place hitters have you known to drive
in 100 runs? Doesn't happen that often.....very unlikely with Devon White's

hmm - i thought francesca's predictions ALWAYS hovered at or below

he's a nice analyst for explaining past tense, and for mapping out

looks good whne compared to russo. | rec.sport.baseball |
Why should we pay your predictions any heed, considering

Heard last night that Paul Kuryia will be playing for the Canadian World
Hockey team this year. He was on a local radio station when a friend of
the familty called to congratulate him on the invitation. Meekly Paul told
the host that he didn't think they wanted it out yet. This morning I heard
that he is destined to play on a line with Lindros and Recci{unsure of this
one}. If he plays well in this arena, he could go #1 or 2 in the draft.

News reports in Toronto say that the Rangers are insisting that
Kovalev, Zubov, and Andersson play for Binghampton in the Calder

Hey, man, you brought it up. I agree completely, driving drunk is really
stupid, and I understand and appreciate that you feel bad about it. But
DWI is endemic in our society. It is a REAL problem. And we, as
motorcyclists, can be in the worst of vulnerable positions around a drunk
driver. (Alert readers might remember that last year I witnessed a DWI
accident (right bloody in front of me), and was unable to save the life
of one of the participants, as I reported here.) Also, drunk driving by
motorcyclists is a prime cause of their injury and death, which raises the
insurance rates, forces stupidly restrictive laws, and turns the public
against those of us who ride responsibly.
In my view, drunk driving should carry a mandatory prison sentence.
It is one of the traffic offenses which is NOT a public funds issue,
but a genuine safety issue. So if YOU bring up the subject on rec.moto,
admitting having been caught DWI, and looking for sympathy over the
consequences, don't expect people to respond with warm wishes. | rec.motorcycles |
According to THE FAN here in T.O., Ottawa has won the Daigle e
sweepstakes. They didn't mention why, but San Jose had more goals

I remember this happening on the I-75 through Michigan and Ohio several
years back. A group of guys in an old beater would rear end a car,
usually out of state or Canadians. You stop and they smack you with a BB
bat. At least they didn't kill you for the sake of a car.
I think the cops put out decoys and this calmed down for a while. | rec.autos |

From article <1993Apr5.200048.23421@ucsu.Colorado.EDU>, by lorenzo@rintintin.Colorado.EDU (Eric Lorenzo):
--Let me put it like this. The only similarity between the three models
is the "300", or 3-liter engine displacement. Actually, the SC300 (the
coupe) and the GS300 (the funky-looking new sedan) share the same 3.0
liter inline-six, and the ES300 (popular small sedan) uses 3.0 V6 shared
with the Camry. The SC300 is a luxury/sports coupe, the GS300 is the new
luxury sedan, and the ES300 is the base executive sedan. All three look
completely different.

So its an automatic? Don't know if US spec=CDN spec. for Maximas.
If it is the first set of brake pads on front, then this is fine. My car
eats a set every 15k miles or so. The fact that he is replacing the
muffler too is also ok.
The mileage is fairly low - but typical fwd stuff is CV joints. Check
the maintenance records with the manufacturers requirements for valve
adjustments, timing belt changes and so on.
The 60k mile service is often expensive, so make sure he has done everything.
Well, this is one of the commonly cited methods for identifying a
car with highway miles.
Might check the gas pedal wear too. Ask him how many sets of tires he
has been through. A highway car might have squeezed by on 2 sets,
a hard driven car 6-10 sets.
Well, the Maxima should be pretty reliable - but if its out of warranty
you should get it checked out by someone knowledgeable first. Stuff
for Japanese cars can be expensive.

Golly, I love stupid people. :-)
Listen, Rex, this is hockey. The NHL, to be precise. And in the NHL,
there exist these things called "ties". A tie occurs when a game ends
with the score for each team equal. Each team gets one point for a tie.
There also exits these things called "wins". A win is when one team has a
higher score than the opponent. (Oh yeah, only two teams play each other
at a time, so I can say "the opponent".) A team gets two points for a
win. So, let's say that a team has a record of 38 wins, 36 losses, and 10
ties. Another team has a record of 40 wins, 38 losses and 6 ties. The
first team has (38*2)+10 = 86 points. The second team has (40*2)+6 = 86
points. WOW! They *both* have the same number of points, but the number
of wins is different! How did they do that??!?!?!?! That's amazing. So,
Rex, when people talk about wins being the first tiebreaker, well, then
that's what it means. In our example, the second team would win the
tiebreaker and therefore have the "better" record, even though both teams
had the same number of points. If you didn't understand this post, Rex,
maybe you should go back and read it again, very slowly.

Derian Hatcher's game-misconduct penalty was rescinded by the NHL,
allowing the Minnesota defenseman to play in the North Stars' last two
regular-season games. Hatcher was given the penalty during a fight at
the end of a loss at St. Louis on Sunday, April 11. But the league
didn't rescind the game-misconduct penalty Shane Churla received. The
Stars recalled center Cal McGowan from their top minor league club in
Kalamazoo, Mich., to replace Churla.

You should be ashamed to call yourself an Ulf Samuelson fan. Anybody who plays
the way he does, does not belong in the NHL. There have been cheap shot artists
through the history of the game, but a lot of them have been talanted players.
Bobby Clarke, Kenny Linsemen, Pie McKenzie, Chris Chelios etc.. but nobody has been
out right as dirty a cheapshot coward as Ulf. Violence in hockey has got to be curbed
and players like (Should have been a Women) Samuelson don't belong. When players
like Ulf, who's main purpose is to injure the better players in the league is allowed
to continue, and the league won't stop it, the players should. A Christian Pro 1000
aluminum stick directed at his ugly head should do the trick nicely. If the Bruins get
a chance to meet Pittsburgh in the near future, you can bet Neely will have his day.
The sight of watching Ulf turtle up like the coward he is, is worth almost as much as a
Stanely Cup. This wimp of a player almost ruined the career of one the best right wingers
in the game. If you are to remove Ulf Samuelson from the lineup, the Penguins would not
even notice he's gone. He's an eyesore on the game of hockey.

Why not? I believe both the Devils and Islanders got 87 points.
Say for example, another team had this record : 20-37-47;
they had 20*2+47*1+37*0=87 which is the same as their points total.
(The Islanders' and Devils' records are both 40-37-7.

If you don't already know it, you should call the bank/credit union/
finance company that holds the loan on your present car and get the
current payoff cost.
If you are trading in your current car on the new car, subtract the
payoff amount from the trade-in the dealer is giving you. (If this
turns out to be a negative number, you need to reconsider the deal.)
Subtract this difference from the price of the new car. This is the
size of the loan you will need for the new car.
The dealer will take care of paying off the loan on your old car out
of the money you give them when you pick up your new car.
At least that's how it worked for me 5 years ago in Ohio...

Us easterners who have newspapers with editors
unsympathetic to playoff pools, often don't get
summaries from west coast games since they
finish too late at night for the morning edition.
I (and I'm sure others too) would greatly appreciate
it if scoring summaries of west coast playoff games
could be posted to this group right away.
basically, all we need are goal scorers and assists,
don't bother with times, penalties, shots etc...
this would make a lot of pool-obsessed people very
happy.
I guess with the Senators out golfing now, the
local papers have lost interest. ;-)

Well the European Manta and US GT have entirely different bodies. There is
little or no chance that they are the same. The Manta went through several
generations as the coupe version of the Ascona and was OK in its time.
Not true. The Kadett has been in and out of the US market over the years.
The LeMans (old Kadett) is only the latest version.

I'll put in a vote for the latter. A bike
takes a lot of involvement, and I for one
do not want any accident to be my fault.
I remember one artical where the reviewer
tried the radio on the bike, not having had
one on any of his. He stated that the bike
tended to go faster when the music was
good. I agree, having felt like this my self,
and this was not a physical imparement, like
drinking, just the emotional lift from music.

So let's see what we have on the Batdude so far: He has a weird helmet.
He drags his knee in corners (thanks, Cookson, but how does he do it?
Hidden Bat-pucks?), and he only takes the bike out in the snow or rain.
Also, he lets Robin ride! I think I could have used a Bat-mom. Would
have made getting my license a lot easier!
There's a trend here: Stylish helmet, Stylish knee-dragging, rides only
in Stylish cartoon precipitation. Hmm . . . Could it be that we're
dealing with a veritable airborne mammalian poseur? Dare I say it, a
BAT-SQUID?? (huh? Bat-Squid?) It all adds up now . . .
Let's make the B-man an honorary DoD DuDe. All he needs is a DoD

Actually, anyone have an address for Batman's current artists, both
comic book and animated series? We'll write and ask if Batman would like
to become an honorary Denizen! Yeah!
Special To The KoTL: Is there a precedent for inducting an imaginary

It's great that all these other cars can out-handle, out-corner, and out-

But, you've got to ask yourself one question: do all these other cars have
a moonroof with a sliding sunshade? No wimpy pop-up sunroofs or power
sliding roofs that are opaque. A moonroof that can be opened to the air,
closed to let just light in, or shaded so that nothing comes in.

It's not really crap you know... only half crap ;-) From what i
understand it's very expensive to play hockey south of the border...
(actually it's not that cheap up hear either... though once you have all the
equipement it's not more than $300 a year... actually i haven' played in
about 8 years so i could be off a bit... ) In the states, where ice time
is considerably more expensive it can cost over a thousand a year... compare
this to baseball and you'll see that hockey is a sport for the well-to-do...
And this brings up the fact that the well-to-do in the US are majority white...
BTW: what was the original question... i think it has to do with the Hispanic
communtiy and playing hockey....

: no rear tires as small as 110/90. There are some fronts though.
So get a 120/90 instead. Is there anything that size?
: Any other recomendations?

Call the tire companies yourself and tell them what you have.
They can make recomendations for you. That's your best bet. Check a biker

It's possible there are no other tires available though.

:>Does anybody in the Pittsburgh area know why Mike LaValliere was released?
:>Last year I kept saying that Slaught should get the bulk of the playing time,
:>that he was clearly the better player at this point, but Leyland insisted on
:>keeping a pretty strict platoon. And now he is released? That doesn't
:>make any sense to me.
Greg,
The story goes like this:
Spanky is too slow! If he were quicker, he would still be here.
But with Slaught and Tom Prince, they didn't want to lose Prince in order
to bring up that 11th pitcher. Slaught is about as good as Spanky and
Prince is coming along nicely!
Don't feel too bad for him. He's still gonna get theat $4,000,000
over the next two years -- he'll be able to do most of what he wants to
do.

Thanks to all of you who gave advice on the CB900 Custom.
As recommended, I had the bike compression tested. Compression was
a little low, but very even across the four cylinders (+/- 5 psi). They
said that it was tested a little cold, so that would explain the low
numbers (around 90). Does this sound right? Otherwise, the bike looked
great. No signs of road rash, and no rust. This bike looks great!
It is now in the shop getting tuned and new tires.
I am opting for the Metzler ME55 and ME33 tires (thanks to those
who posted this other thread). This bike is _BIG_ compared to my other bikes.
( Sure is alot harder to load on a trailer than the KDX200 was. ) I should
be road legal tomorrow. I am ignoring the afforementioned concerns about
the transmission and taking my chances.
Being a reletively new reader, I am quite impressed with all the usefull
info available on this newsgroup. I would ask how to get my own DoD number,
but I'll probably be too busy riding ;-).

Well, Druce pretty much sucked when he was with the Caps. He had one
good **playoffs** (not season). oh well. The Caps are notorious for making
stupid trades anyway, as can be seen with the Cicarelli and Hrivnak trades.
Sigh.
In another note... I'd have to say the Caps biggest surprise was
Cote, as many Caps fans had been expecting a lot from Bondra already.

I would assume that the words (I saw the picture) indicated that those
SEATS will not be available for baseball games. If you look at the picture
of the diamond in the stadium, in relation to the areas marked "NOT FOR
BASEBALL", those seats just look terrible for watching baseball. Now, if
they should happen to reach the post-season, I would imagine that they
would consider opening some of those seats up, but that is surely a worry
of the future.

This brings up a question I asked myself (no answer) when it was mentionned
that the NHL could expand in Europe.
Would most of the North-americans now playing in the NHL be willing
to play for a team in Europe?
I do not think that the majority of hockey players are necessarily
interested in expanding their cultural experience to that level.
(I know I would but I am not a pro hockey player)
When one recalls some players remarks in the last few years it makes
me wonder how a European expansion could be achieved. Remember these:
- Lindros did not want to play in Quebec (for more than $ reasons)
- Nicholls ... in Edmonton.
- R. Courtnall wanted to be traded to LA only.
- C. Lemieux said he would refuse to go to Edmonton earlier this year.
I know there are many non-cultural reasons behind these but there is more:
- Some american players who played for the Expos complained about the french
fact and that the city was not quite like the other US cities. One
players' wife trying to make her point went on to complain that she could
not even find her favorite brand of nacho chips in Montreal.
Anybody knows what happened when all these US football players moved
to London, Spain, etc .. for the one year of that new football league
(2 years ago?)
I wonder what the players association thinks about going to Europe.
Myself I would like to see some European teams, but what would be
the best way to do it? | rec.sport.hockey |

Joe Torre has to be the worst manager in baseball.
For anyone who didn't see Sunday's game,
With a right hander pitching he decides to bench Lankform, a left handed
hitter and play jordan and gilkey, both right handers.
Later, in the ninth inning with the bases loaded and two outs he puts
lankford, a 300 hitter with power in as a pinch runner and uses Luis
Alicea, a 250 hitter with no power as a pinch hitter. What the Hell
is he thinking.
Earlier in the game in an interview about acquiring Mark Whiten he commented
how fortunate the Cardinals were to get Whiten and that Whiten would be a
regular even though this meant that Gilkey would be hurt, But torre said
he liked Gilkey coming off the bench. Gilkey hit over 300 last year,
what does he have to do to start, The guy would be starting on most every
team in the league.
Furthermore, in Sundays game when lankford was thrown out at the plate,
The replay showed Bucky Dent the third base coach looking down the line
and waving lankford home,

I just had my 41 Chrysler painted. I was told to refrain from waxing it and
to leave it out in the sun!! Supposedly this let's the volatiles escape from
the paint over a month or so (I can smell it 15 feet away on a hot day) and
lets any slight irregularites in the surface flow out, as the paint remains
a little soft for a while.

The regular season of the 1992-93 Davis Tabletop Baseball League has
just come to an end. To help us with next year's league, I would
appreciate it if you would take a couple of minutes and vote for
our league MVP and CY winners. These awards, and players' standings
in them, will inflate their salaries for next year's league.
Please vote for 5 in each category, in order. For example...
1. Barry Bonds
2. Frank Thomas
3. Biff Pocoroba
4. Shooty Babitt
5. "Lips" Lundy.
Please do NOT vote for pitchers in MVP voting for this league. Each team
in the league gets one candidate for MVP, and one for CY. Defensive
position is listed where applicable, along with an abbreviation of
their performance there (E=Excellent, V=Very Good, A=Average,
P=Poor, B=Very Poor) Thanks... please reply by April 10.
For the record - the season was 144 games long. Thanks for your help.

Some players missed time due to injuries, others were sat down at the end
to avoid the possibility of injury. There are better players than those
on this list, but each team gets one and only one candidate. Some players
played more than 144 games due to being traded to teams with more games
left in the same time span. Now, on to the pitchers...

There you have it. Curt Schilling threw a perfect game during the year,
and Ken Hill threw a no-hitter. Rob Dibble had pitched 32 scoreless
innings to start the year, only to choke in the last two games to cost
the Perot's Giant Sucking Sounds a playoff spot.
If you want stats of more players, they are available by request. Please
take the time to reply if you can. Thanks.

I tend to agree that players are not hurt by early play in the big leagues.
The BRaves organization is a fertile ground to test this hypothesis, as they
had little talent on their roster for some time. Steve Avery, for example,
was rushed to the majors, and he fared very poorly during his initial campaign.
His subsequent pitching has not been affected by his 5+ ERA during his rookie
year. Bill James pointed out that it was relatively unusual to struggle so
and then rebound.
Bob Horner was also rushed to the majors (out of Arizona State directly) had
good numbers immediately.
I am not certain of the ages of people like Pete Smith, Craig McMurty, and
Derek Lilliquist. The Braves pitching staffs were so bad when they came up
that they might have been rushed. Lilliquist and Smith struggled, but it
didn't hurt PS and DL may have been overhyped. I seem to recall CM pitching
well initially, though I don't have stats handy. | rec.sport.baseball |

I'd bet the price of the helmet that it's okay...From 6 feet
or higher, maybe not.
I'd wear the full facer, but then, I'd be *way* more worried
about wind blast in the face, and inability to hear police
sirens, than the helmet being a little damaged.
Well, my next helmet will be, subject to it fitting well, an AGV
sukhoi. That's just because I like the looks. My current one is
a Shoei task5, and it's getting a little old, and I crashed in
it once a couple of years ago (no hard impact to head...My hip
took care of that.). If price was a consideration I'd get
a Kiwi k21, I hear they are both good and cheap.
Be *mildly* mildly paranoid about the helmet, but don't get
carried away. There are people on the net (like those 2% you
mentioned) that do not consistently live on our planet...

I re-read what I wrote and it didn't say exactly what I thought.
Sure the Pens are a better team. They've got size and the best skill players
in the league. They've also got the best clutch goaltending. They're the
best team in the league.
But, my point was the Caps have not played to their ability level vs the
Pens since last year's choke. And that's the mental problem (the one they've
had for a number of years) I tried to point out. Spirit, mental preparedness,
will to win, whatever you want to call it, it's missing when the Caps play the
Pens. Actually, you're right - it won't make any difference. | rec.sport.hockey |

"Get the organization to act on it" is easy to say, but says little
about what one really can and should do. What the organization
actually will do is largely determined by the president and directors,
as far as I can see. That's what makes it so important to vote in an
election of officers.
It does strike me that the BMWMOA is a lot less politically active (in
the state and national arenas, not infighting) than other M/C
organizations. Should we change this? Or just join the other groups
that already are in politics?
(Incidentally, the political hazards to motorcycle riders in the US at
the moment don't compare to the problems of some other groups like gun
owners. Just try to take up target pistol shooting in the Northeast
or California, and I bet you'll wish you only had to worry about

Another word (offense) makes them my pick for last too.
(Well, there's also my policy of never picking a Buck Rodgers' team for last)
The 1961 Angels were 1/2 game out of 7th. The Athletics and
expansion Senators finished tied for last.
The 1962 Colt 45's finshed 8th - ahead of the Cubs (the Mets were last).
The 1969 Royals finshed 4th - ahead of the White Sox (the Pilots in last).
The 1977 Mariners finished 6th - ahead of the Athletics(in last).
Apparently being an expansion team with a poor A's or Chicago
team around is a `good thing'
This may be an appropriate comparison.
The 1929-31 Yankees finshed 2nd, 3rd and 2nd finshing
18, 16 and 13-1/2 games out of first.
In 1933,'34 and '35 they also finished second ( though they were only
7, 7 and 3 games out).
Even great teams can lose - That's why they play the season.
