Hi all, I'm looking to invest in a recumbant stationary bike. I have back problems and my doc recommended I use this as part of my exercise routine. Any suggestions about which bike and where to buy? Thanks in advance. Michael

Hey fellow Chicagoans, Hope all is well with everyone. No, I haven't dropped off the face of the earth - it's been busy and a lot has happened since I last posted. Eleni and I got married in December and our first baby is on the way! Totally unexpected and unplanned, but definitely excited...

Hey all, Hope everyone is good. The last time I was on this site was in early November - been busy w/work, planning my wedding, etc. Okay, so here's the scoop. Despite how busy we are, my fiancee NOW decides she wants a new car. She loves the Lexus cars, but her family is pushing her to go...

Hey guys- My buddy recently got his car door hit and got an estimate for $900. His car is a '96 Mercury Sable with 70K miles and probably not worth much. He wants to know if he should fix it or just run it to the ground? I thought I'd toss this one out there for your input and/or...

Hey guys- I do my own oil changes on Marley, but just recently some people have been telling me that it's best to bring her to a shop - specifically, where I bought her from. So, what's best? Do I continue doing the oil changes myself or should I bring her to the Mazda dealer? Also, how do...

For those of you who aren't aware, every Saturday morning at 9 A.M., NPR (National Public Radio) 91.5 FM sponsors a show "Car Talk." The hosts are knowledgeable and hilarious. I tune in just about every Saturday and pick up some good tips for my car (a.k.a. Marley). Just when I think I know...

There's nothing worse than sitting through two hours of a horrible movie--what a waste of time and $$$. I don't go often due to my schedule, so when I do go, it'd be great to catch something good. Your recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks.

Today must be the "Day of the Mazdas." I must have seen at least fifty on the road if not more. It was almost like a marathon of sorts - one following the other. I lost track of those, but around noon today, I was driving north on Lake Shore Drive and saw two RX-8s (both red) and one Mazda3...

Hey guys- I have the tendency to wait until the last minute for everything, but Eleni's folks are flying in from NY and will be staying with us for the weekend. I'm in need of some recommendations for a good restaurant in the city. I've been to several which I like, but I figure there could...

Hey all- Just thought I'd say hi. It's been busy for me - I'm working on this big-ass case which is eating up all my time. Sometimes I miss being an engineer as the day would end when I went home. Anyway, I hope everyone is doing well and staying cool in this hot Chicago weather. BTW, I...

Eleni often drives my car as she's very responsible, but this morning she drove the MX-5 to work with a co-worker who had a cigarette which fell onto the seat, burning a hole into the leather. It's not too noticeable, but knowing that it's there bothers me. And besides, it's a new car. What...

I've been using Meguiar's to wash my car for the last umpteen years and really like the way it cleans and makes my car shine (sun). Is there anything else out there that's better and/or more effective? If so, what is it and where can I find it? Thanks.

Hey fellow Chicagoans- Thought you'd get a kick out of this one - last night we got about ten minutes of sleep (IF that even). Our neighbors (who we've met a couple times) were (butthump) (whip) pretty much the entire evening. They're newlyweds, so I guess that explains it. I was (lol)...

Yesterday, my GF and I took a break and spent the entire day on Lake Shore Drive - hung out at the beaches, rode our bikes, etc. Next weekend we're going to hit the museums - she's into that sort of thing. God, this city's gorgeous. We like to do quite a bit of cycling, especially when the...

Hey guys- Thanks for the advice. It really helps to have this 'support system' being that my entire family and majority of my buddies are in NYC. In any case, I appreciate it. I should mention that I get along very well with my girlfriend's parents. In fact, they've told me on several...

Seeing that you give advice to one another, I thought I'd toss this out there. Okay guys, here's my situation: as you know, I'm 28 and recently moved here from NYC. My girl and I have been together for nearly two years - she's a terrific girl who I've grown to love. We've discussed marriage...

Hi all, I just moved from New York City to Chicago. I absolutely love it here - Chicago is by far the greatest city in the world. I bought myself a new Masdaspeed MX-5 Miata and sold my piece of crap BMW (which gave me all sorts of problems). Anyway, I just wanted to say 'hi' and welcome...
