    Kia Optima ranked ahead of Honda Accord

    Ditto...image/perception is not there for me. They need to re-brand themselves, although, good for them! I drive an Infinity G35. When I bought it there were several things I liked about the car, including safety and AWD. After having AWD, I don't ever see going to a 2-wheel drive vehicle...

    Niang commits to ISU!

    Based on personal experience, you will be there again as you've only been married for 1 year. You will get in the dog house and not even see it coming. To make a postive out of it, it is nice and quiet there. :smile: Z

    FB Facility Update

    Typically they have cameras in both end-zones, 1 rolling behind the visitors bench(Could be moved to the other side) and one on top of the current scoreboard. I don't recall a fleet of cameras on the West Side of the stadium that need to be repositioned. Z

    FB Facility Update

    Probably been discussed a lot on here, however, it seems like our team is on the wrong side of the field. Isn't the home team usually on the side of the press box? I wonder if they would change sidelines so the home team can be on the side of the tunnel without having to cross with the...

    FB Facility Update

    Just a rumor, but I heard they were bringing the drill over from Europe that they used on the Chunnel to drill between the new FB complex and the field. http://connect.in.com/chunnel/photos-1-1-1-eed181ba1e1d2931c8ab0258652ce82e.html

    Need a new bike

    This is a very versatile bike. They say if you can only have one bike, the cyclo's are the way to go. I just bought a Special road bike and love it. I also have a Giant Hi-bred for around the neighborhood and family rides. Based on the OP's budget, I suggest buying used at a good bike shop...

    Blackdirt Altoona/Bondurant/PHill?

    I had quite a bit of dirt hauled in for a decent size landscape project several years ago. By the time I had it delivered, then shoveled it into a wheel barrel and moved around the yard, I wondered if this was the right way to go. Shoveling that wet heavy black soil is an energy burner and...

    Golf lessons

    Mark Egly was noted a few years back by Golf Magazine as the best pro in Iowa. I have gone to him and he is terrific and his rates are very reasonable too. Don't be surprised if you see Dr. Tom or other high profile people driving at his range or getting a lesson as well. He is very respected...

    ESPN Blog: 'Tough Nut' at ISU (Knott)

    +1 Agreed. I am guessing this is one of the major missing parts. Being a QB is more than reading coverages and throwing passes. Thought this myself. Z

    One Dead, Another in Custody after Altoona Crash

    I went through that intersection less than 2-3 minutes before that happened. That is a main route for getting onto 80 to head into DM. I do not know the person that died. Needless tragedy, Z
