Turbo Touring How many of you have tried ABITA Brewery Beers? Please share your thought and opinions.?
www.abita.com/visit/maptobrewpub.html...They are a small micro-brewery in Abita Springs, LA. The beer is Great. Their dark beer is Turbo dog, and Abita Amber is my favorite. They hve several other flavors along with seasonal brands. You can take a free tour there and they let you have all the beer on tap you want throughout the tour. They are located on the North shore of Lake Pontchatrain
about 40 miles from New Orleans across the Causeway.Take I-12 exit Abita Springs #65. Head towards Abita Springs (approx. 4 miles) on highway 59. Slidell, LA. and Covington, LA. If your ever around you should visit. Was really interesting, filling and fun. There are also other historical sites there to check out. Fun day trip if visiting the New Orleans Area. Also they have in town the ABITA Brew Pub, they have some excellent food as well. A beautiful quaint town nestled amongst the many Century's of huge old Oak trees.
Some of their brews are good, some I rather don't like. Purple Haze is nice, but I didn't care for the Turbo Dog and I usually like dark brews.
Hi everyone I was wondering if you could help, but I am planning to get a 1993 Mazda Rx7 from Japan to import into Canada, It has 38000 km, it is in excellent condition as it is stock and it is a touring model and an automatic because it is RHD, auto is all my parents will allow, but my question is the turbo's I hear Some came with no turbo, some with Single and Twin turbo's as it is a japanese model I do not know can you tell me, as I said it is a auto touring model and I think it comes with twins, because it is 255 hp and I do not believe that power comes without a turbo, can you help me out?
Well First off,
They only came in twin turbo set up. I would also make sure its a creditabe company. Mopst (90%) of people know nothing about rotories.
Second off if you dont know anything about it as in engine and have no mechanical skill i wouldent get it. I would start off with a Fc (1986-1991) N/A (aka non turbo). Its a 17 yrd old car theres bound to be problem(s) and with rotarys you do everything your self for fear of being ripped off and the knowlage its done right.
Kids Snowmobile Know a nice getaway spot near southeastern Pennsylvania for couples?
We want to get away for a long weekend. We live in southeast PA and we don't want to travel more than 3 hours. We'd like something that is nice for couples (i.e. not a bunch of kids running around, nice higher class atmosphere, nice restaurants), but we'd also like something that has fun things to do - i.e. skiing, snowmobiling, or other fun activities.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
We're asking for a specific resort or hotel, not a general area, like 'poconos'.
Thanks.
In my opinion, you should visit the All-Inclusive Ceasar's Pocono Resorts near Mount Pocono PA. It is definitly within 3 hours of Philly, actually closer, and how lucky you are! I live on the other side of the state and had to travel nearly 8 hours to go there. Anyhow, the place is wonderful. There is lots of skiing, snowmobiling, ice skating and beautiful snowy scenery to hike and horseback ride through. Not to mention, that the all inclusive packages take care of all activities, all food and beverages and all entertainment. There are nightly shows. Also, there are rooms in every price range imaginable. You can stay in their stunning Champagne Towers, where you have a champagne glass shaped jacuzzi tub for two, or you can do something more simple to save money. There are many options and price ranges to choose from. You would not regret a weekend getaway there, even if not this time, sometime in the future. Taken from their site: "Caesars Pocono Resorts, in the magnificent Pocono Mountains of northeast Pennsylvania, are the World's Most Romantic Resorts offering you all-inclusive honeymoons and romantic getaway packages. The world's premier couples-only resort provides uniquely luxurious honeymoon and romantic vacation suites in the Poconos, featuring the world exclusive 7-ft. Tall Champagne Glass Whirlpool Bath-for-Two, world famous heart-shaped whirlpool bath-for-two, in-suite pools & saunas, cozy log burning fireplaces, round king-size beds, live nightly entertainment, and indoor and outdoor activities."

What Every Parent Should Know About Keeping Their Kids Safe in the Winter
Winter is probably one of the most exciting times of year for kids: snow days, ice-skating, sledding, and snowmobiles! Winter also brings the need to take extra steps to keep your family safe in the cold. Here are some tips to stay safe—and have fun!—in the cold.
•Scope out the sledding hill. If your kids want to go sledding, make sure they take a good look at the hill first—are there any trees they are going to run into? Is the hill too steep? Also, make sure there are no rocks and that the hill isn’t near a busy road.
•Healthy on the home front. It seems like winter brings along with it lots more cases of the cold and the flu. Although it’s not entirely preventable, make sure your family is washing their hands, especially after coughing, sneezing, and blowing a runny nose. You can also help boost your child’s immune system with plenty of sleep and lots of healthy foods.
•SPF on a snow day? You betcha—snow reflects nearly 85% of ultraviolet rays, which means your kids still need sunblock in the winter.
•Do a chill-check. There are so many fun activities for kids to do in the snow, that they often stay outside for long periods of time without realizing it. Check on your kids regularly to make sure that there gloves are dry and warm, they are still bundled up in waterproof pants and coats, and that there noses aren’t too red.
•Help! Even if you follow these tips, sometimes accidents happen. Prepare yourself by reading up some warning signs of frostnip and frostbite:
oFrostnip is an early stage of frostbite. If your child complains of feeling numb and has white skin, this could be frostnip. Bring your child inside, remove all wet clothing, and put your child in a warm (but not hot!) bath of about 104 degrees Fahrenheit until they feel sensation again.
oFrostbite is more serious than frostnip and usually occurs on fingers, toes, noses, and cheeks. The area becomes very cold and turns white or yellowish gray. If you think your child might have frostbite, you should take him or her to the nearest emergency room

Snowmobile Skis Will riding on dirt, or low amounts of ruin the skis or track of a snowmobile?
Which one the skis or the track or both.
Yes, riding on dirt will cause the ski carbides to wear out quickly. This could result in loss of control, if you go into a corner fast, turn the handlebars and the sled goes straight because the carbides are worn down.
Riding on dirt also causes premature wear on the idler wheel bearings, suspension pivot points and wears out the plastic hyfax.
Also, riding on low snow conditions can cause a liquid cooled sled to overheat. The snow is thrown on the heat exchangers to cool the motor down.
