Every mole hill soon becomes a mountain 'round here.

That has been my experience, too. I think in my case, my blowouts have been from the tires being too old, or pressure being too low. I had to be taught that if your tire pressure is too low and there's a bulge at the bottom, that bulge creates heat because every time the tire rotates, the...

I have fitness goals, so here's what I did: my phone weighs 6.88 ounces. I figure if I replace it with 12 ounces of cold beer and do curls all day, I'll be healthier! EDIT: Sorry @skep419, I forgot you quit drinking.

Are you sure this wasn't a case of dynamic pricing? Hotels and airlines have been using it for decades, but more and more major retailers have been adopting the practice. Amazon, Target, Kroger, and I heard Ikea is looking into it.

I was driving my Honda Civic to the dealer for a warranty repair. Stalled in the middle of the intersection making a u-turn. Had to complete the u-turn pushing the car in flip flops with three lanes of oncoming traffic just staring at me. Nobody helped. What's interesting is how our society...

As kids, we hustled ALL the time for money. Used to go door-to-door offering to pull weeds, wash cars, whatever. Had paper routes, and after we were done delivering on the route, we'd go to the grocery store, drop a quarter in the newspaper machine, then take all of the papers. Then we'd sit...

I just saw this thread (don't pay much attention to the stickies). Is it too late to add some items to the auction? I don't have much, but I'm sure I can scrounge up a thing or two to help out.

I came here to suggest the same thing. A group that sells machinist tooling has the same rule, and it seems to work quite well.

I just noticed that!

Every year at work, we lower the flag to half-staff at sunrise. Then we don our dress blues and gather at the flagpole at 0659 western time (0959 eastern time is when the first tower fell), and the entire fire department is alerted over the radio to observe a moment of silence in honor of the...

Those are really nice. The detail these laser engravers are capable of is incredible.

An old, blind cowboy wanders into an all-girl biker bar by mistake. He finds his way to a bar stool and orders some coffee. After sitting there for a while, he yells to the waiter, "Hey, you wanna hear a blonde joke?" The bar immediately falls absolutely silent. In a very deep, husky voice...

A couple more of his rides and a link featuring his '57 Buick wagon: Jim & Mary Hull's 1957 Buick Caballero Estate Wagon - Roddin' & Racin'

I met a gentleman yesterday who is a retired automotive restorer. We got to chatting and I asked about some of his cars, and one of them he calls his "El GTO." It's an El Camino with a GTO front clip. We've all seen cars with mis-matched parts as custom jobs, and personally, I think most of them...

Yes, that's how I understand it. I just think it's neat that someone could use their phone in a place with no cell service and send text messages. Did you see the part in the video where he talks about "hypersonic mode"? What is your opinion on that in regards to someone trying to intercept your...

Here you go. I was mistaken -- the phones are used in conjunction with radios to send messages. Give it a watch, pretty neat stuff.

Some people have figgered out a way to use cell phones as radios, so "curious ears" can't pinpoint who is saying what, and I believe there's also a way to encrypt your transmissions while using this method. Buddy of mine sent me a video, I'll try to find a link. You type your message in a text...

We use ours when we're out in the deep country hunting or 4-wheeling.

My buddy also likes the Midland units. I was gifted a Baofeng UV-5R, and it's a good little radio. Another low cost option.

Let's see some pictures! I'll be doing this on my E-body once I get my butt in gear.

I hate how those things look, but once they get the technology dialed in, the electric trucks will be real contenders for towing with all that torque.

Agreed. Definitely PB Blaster.

I'm very sorry for your loss, sir. Sending my condolences.

First thing I would do is make sure your fluid is fresh and at the proper level. Does it make the noise at idle? How about with the clutch pedal depressed? My guess is it might just be a bad clutch release bearing or front bearing.

Good to know. I wear gloves about 50% of the time when I use it, I think it's time I bump that up to 100%. I've seen it remove paint, so I always kinda knew it had some sort of nasties in it.

Thanks! I appreciate all the help. I like the glazing putty idea, will hit YT for some videos.

Finished the door and fender yesterday,and it was a scramble. My neighbor had to leave town for a work event, so I was rushing to get the door put together last minute. The paint turned out okay, a little bit of orange peel and a couple small runs. As mentioned, proper lighting would've helped...

Bummer.
