One of the contestants voted off this week was Danny Noriega. Some people say that his personality has a part to play in his elimination. Do you think that is true? Did he got voted off solely because of his singing or his...

Car Repair Woes

ElusiveButterfly @ElusiveButterfly (45940) • United States 6 Mar 08

The trouble with owning an older car is that you never know what you'll have to replace next. We have a 1996 Chevy Lumina with 65,000 miles on the counter. Not bad considering that the 1994 Buick we have has 170,000 miles on it....
