    I've never had a cavity.

    Granted, I haven't been to a dentist in a while, but my habits haven't changed and none ever showed up when I went a while in between before.

    That would be an odd one.
    When I had my root canal done about 10 years ago they had to numb the crap out of it. I'd had a filling done on a molar that I'd chipped and apparently they didn't disinfect it or clean it out right or something, because it got infected afterwards. So they redrilled it, cleaned it out, refilled it and put me on antibiotics. 6 months later I was back in the chair with the same problem again, but this time with an abscess and they had to do a root canal. Didn't cost me anything, because I sent the bill to the dentist that screwed up my filling in the first place, but I'd really rather have just had the cavity filled correctly the first time.

    I've had 4, I think. Maybe 5? And the root canal. After the first one I tried like hell to avoid getting any others, but every 4-5 years or so I end up needing one filled.

    Couple years ago I split a molar in half while eating a bag of pork rinds I got at a bodega while working in the hood.
    Of course ,it acted up real bad the following week during deer season here.
    Soo, I get it yanked out in the morning, hunt in the afternoon with a mouthful of gauze and bloody drool and still managed to get a deer. My friends were laughing their asses off when I was mumbling stuff and drooling.

    Some light hypermiling with the F150. No drafting, and I stayed pretty close to the posted speed limits. Just feather-footed it instead of driving normally. About an hour of mixed driving, hills and back roads between 35-55mph


    Definitely wouldn't be able to hypermile for a full tank, though. I was already sick of it by the time I got home this afternoon :laugh:

    That might be what I have to do - just odd that I can dial in the passengerside fine but not the driverside...

    Got to test drive a new Civic Type R. Normally I'm not a fan of honda's but this car was a ton of fun to drive - it stuck to the road and handles really good for a stock fwd car. I did get the back to slide a bit in a corner with some oversteer but nothing that wasn't out of the norm. I love the interior compared to the Focus RS, the Civic seat still holds you tight but isn't insanely uncomfortable compared to the RS. This one is here for testing and development for parts we are working on with a UK company. Should be interesting to see what she puts down on the dyno next week! The one thing I cannot stand is all the activity on the back end of it - between all the fancy tail lights, the black fascade going across the hatch and the wing - it just seems a bit overdone and too much.

    Ewww, the back almost looks like a Prius. Front isn't terrible.
