Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
(actually, it looks like Boston and NY do too; you just have EZ Passes in the cars that run you through without paying the tolls in cash, but at some point they do get charged to your account).
It took YEARS of emailing before they put those EZ Passes in - I don't understand why all rental cars don't have them. (I'd also love for Zipcars to have GPS, but I'm guessing the theft rate would be too much for them to handle.)

You could just buy your own. Some cost less than a 100 bucks and you just suction them on and you're good to go.
Hey, I am trying to talk myself into going to an old friend's wedding in Santa Cruz on May 15. (My hesitancies are $$ and having to rely on friends & complex logistics for local transport, plus being a HUGE GIANT DORK.) Does anyone want to tell me how lovely it would be to visit NorCal in May?
Are you sure the smoke was coming out of the tailpipe? If so, the possibilities are pretty much all bad.
Bad like unfixable, bad like very expensive fix, how very is that very? My knotted gut and I eagerly await your response.
Yeah, the possibilities are the head gasket or worse (cracked head block, cracked engine block).

This is my fave (not sure why):
This one above is the Heart Bean Coffee Grinder, by Adi Navwany, Michal Shamsian, Itamar Paloge and Danielle Ram. It’s made from a single piece of wood and has a built-in sensor to monitor your heart beat to let it grind the coffee beans to the rhythm of your heart.
I'm a car parts moron, and my Googling is giving me no help at all. What would it cost to replace the engine block or the engine?

At that point you would almost certainly be better off getting a new (for you) car.

Your best bet would (I think) to find a used engine and have it installed. Dunno how much that would cost or how to google it - your best bet might be to call a few shops you find in the yellow pages. (eta: they might have resources for tracking down a used engine for you too)

Yeah, probably.
