    Death penalty

    Have you guys debated it in the past? Stories like this one always bring it to my mind... http://msnbc.msn.com/id/14009928/ http://msnbc.msn.com/id/13988087/ I honestly think that a quick death would be too good for some people.

    I don't know if I'm stating this problem correctly, so please bear with me. I have a Merc. 3.7L Alpha One. When I go to neutral, it stays engaged at the lowest forward idle RPM. I have to kick it into reverse, and then into the neutral position to get it truly in neutral. I would think there...

    Engine run-on

    After heavy use (pulling kids on a tube, etc) if I shut my engine off (to pick up the kid I just tossed off the tube) my engine sputters through a few more revolutions. Does this mean I need to use a higher octane fuel? I just put the cheap stuff in it, what do you guys use? It's a 1989 3.7L...
