Mrs WizardPC and I close on the new house tomorrow. If everything goes according to plan, that is. As a part of all this, we of course have to have the utilities put in our name. Electric was not a big deal, except the electric company uses forced charity unless …
If your cute little aftermarket-modified Cobalt SS (complete with its from-the-factory supercharger) is emitting copious quantities of sparks from its coffee-can “muffler”, there is something seriously wrong. Like in the “about to be impressive” kind of way.…
