Rick, last year my Christmas gift was COVID. It wasn't as bad as yours, bit it SUCKED. I am glad you are feeling better. I got my COVID shot last week, and I felt kind of crappy for a few days. The Flu shot never affects me, but for some reason the COVID shot always makes me feel kind of crappy...

I ordered some powder coating powder a while, back, and the bags came with zip ties wrapped around them. I was getting ready to cut the zip ties, when I noticed there was a little tab on them. I pushed on the tab, and sure enough, the zip tie came undone. You can reuse these zip ties as often as...

OK, @Daniel Garcia, here are my thoughts: 1. Go for it. It's your car. It's your plan. And I think it will be cool. 2. I saw where a V10 Viper engine was put in a Mopar (an E Body I think). I wonder if people told him it would never work out? I KNOW that stuffing a 6 cylinder diesel in an A...

Prayers sent for your friends. No matter HOW defensively you ride, you can't guess when an idiot will run a stop sign, pull out right in front of you from a side street are cross over into your lane.

I will agree that 4 wheel disks might be a bit of overkill for the street. I put disks on the front and kept drums on the rear. Huge improvement. When I read his post, I guess I thought he was doing disks only on the front. I am VERY happy with the front disk conversion. I would probably not...

Pretty basic question. Does anybody know if these Byrna non-lethal gas pellet guns are legal in Canada? They do not shoot bullets, they shoot round pellets that have something similar to tear gas in them. Thanks

That makes no sense at all. Just because your drum brakes work "fine", that doesn't mean the car could not benefit by the addition of disk brakes. Everybody knows that disk brakes work better, will stop your car in a shorter distance, will not fade with heat as bad as drums, and are, therefore...

I put a kit from Stainless Steel Brake Corp. on my 69 Barracuda and maintained 14" wheel status. The rotors that came with the kit were drilled for big or small bolt pattern. I have 14" Cragars on my car, and everything works fine.

As a retired Air Force officer with 9600 flying hours, I have been to Florida many, many times. It is a beautiful state, and I can certainly understand why people want to live there. However, for me, Florida is a great place to visit, but I would not want to live there because of hurricanes...

That is not what I am talking about. I was talking about my neighborhood, and how water runs downhill. That is a natural thing. I agree with the fact that you cannot deliberately point water sources (extended downspouts, etc.) at your neighbors. I am just talking about a neighborhood where water...

I agree with most of what you said, except for the last sentence. I agree that you cannot intentionally cause water to drain into the next lot. for instance, you cannot put a ten-foot extension on your downspout and point it directly at your neighbor's house. Nor could you channel downspout...

Screw your neighbor!!! It's just frozen water. He should be thanking you for the extra moisture you are giving his lawn. Tell him that if he doesn't like it, he can call the police. And they, of course, will tell him to get a life. I have a 24" wide self propelled snow blower. It works fine. I...

Thanks. I used to really like LJS. There were 4 or 5 in Topeka, now there is only one. It got to the point where when you entered the place, the floor was a bit slick from grease, the salt and pepper shakers were slick and sticky with a layer of grease, the bottles of malt vinegar were slick and...

No. They were both under the right front seat. It took me about an hour to R&R both batteries. @68cuda408 gave a good explanation of the process in post #25. Thanks @68cuda408, that was a great explanation.

I had a 2018 Grand Cherokee with the V6 and that Auto Start/Stop function. It didn't bother me, because I don't mind saving gas and money, but my wife hated it. It had two batteries under the passenger's front bucket seat. I replaced them both in 2023. It was somewhat of a pain. The start/stop...

In the past, I have always preferred summer because everything I like to do is outside. Working on cars, bodywork, rust repair, painting, yard work, etc. I never had a problem with the heat. The last few summers, I have gotten more susceptible to the heat. For the first time in years, I am...

I was never much of a Budweiser fan. I just don't like it. When I drink beer, I like Blue Moon with a few slices of orange. The colder the better.

LMC Truck Parts sells radiators. I am helping a friend restore his 86 GMC Jimmy. He has bought a lot from LMC.

So many of my friends on this forum have enjoyed pictures of the progress on my friend’s 56 Studebaker, I thought I would post these pictures. After five or six years of bodywork, rust repair, we are finally getting it painted. The fenders doors, hood and decklid and other big parts are all...

I can tell you that used Subarus are like used BMWs, Mercedes and Audis. When they are running well, they are great, but when they need repair, you will pay BMW, Mercedes and Audi money. The WRX is a great platform, and the engine is its heart and soul. If he cannot handle the complete rebuild...

I agree. This is an amazing place. I check in at least twice every day. I would hate to be without it.

Whereabouts?

Working in a grocery store called Falley's in Topeka for $1.65 per hour in 1966. After 3 years, I switched to an A&P grocery store. Their employees were union, so my salary went up to about $3.25. Plus we got time and a half for working on Sundays. That was decent money back then. Well, we are...

Thanks. I never went hunting or fishing as a kid, so I never got into it. I really think it is great for a father and son to have something they can do together.

Pardon my ignorance, but I am not a hunter. First, I would have thought that the stand would be much higher off the ground. Second, what is youth deer season? Is there a separate season specially for taking your kids hunting?

Very interesting! My first thought was that you were wrong, but I looked it up, and you are right. Now bringing home some fine Cuban cigars is another matter.

Wait until they are old enough to drive it. I have two grandkids who ate 20 and 18 (a boy and a girl) who love to drive my 69 340 4 speed Barracuda every time they visit. I even taught each one how to do a burnout. They were grinning from ear to ear.

If I am at a store I frequent that has a loyalty program, I don't mind giving them my phone number. Then they say, "Mike?" I say yes, and I'm on my way. If I am not in a store I frequent, I say, "No thank you". they usually say OK and move on. If they get pushy, I ask for a manager. I have never...

Well, I don't want to sound negative, but I would not hold my breath yet. He COULD possibly do something that would make us happy, but he could also start listening to the bean counters who will tell him what to do to make the max profits.

That is because getting blown is pretty awesome, and it can make others nervous and jealous.
