    Anyone been to Germany? Worth going?

    So here's the deal. We have a god-daughter who is a Major in the Army, lives in Germany, not sure what town. She and her military husband, and kids live off base. She has offered to buy our plane tickets to Germany, and we would be staying with them when there. Maybe a week, but probably two...

    Anyone ever successfully use a Jegs discount code?

    I've never gotten it to work, too many brand exclusions, any item that's on sale, even if its .49 cents off, they subtract the items total value from your being able to meet the $500 threshold to get the $50 off. I'm ready to go back to Summit, or Speedway, or Rockauto, or whatever.

    Forgive me my Mopar brothers. I have sinned

    Looked at this a few weeks ago, thought it was overpriced. Seller has dropped the price two times since then, and I had to do it. '69 F100, 360 big block, granny gear four speed. Towing it home from Reno to Oregon right now. Pics to follow, they don't want to load right now.

    Shop lighting - any recommendations?

    So I've been working on updating/upgrading the garage at my new place. The building is far from new, probably built in 1920 same as the house. Already replaced all the electrical outlets with new ones, and new 12ga wire all around the inside of the garage, turns out there wasn't even a ground...

    Old car prices, omg.

    What the heck is going on with old car prices lately. Is it Barret Jackson syndrome or what. I've been looking for several months for what I'd basically call a retirement project car/truck. But everything I'm seeing for sale lately that is in the 5K to 10K price range is just beat up, rusty...

    Weather it's car repairs, or home repairs, always check the simplest things first

    I have a Modine gas fired unit heater in my garage. Stopped functioning a few weeks ago, so I start replacing parts (things that have gone wrong with it in the past), and nothing is fixed. Finally figured out that there was no 120V getting to the unit. The heater is on a dedicated circuit in the...

    Been looking for a long time, and finally found a nice place in Oregon. Flew up last week to look at it, made an offer on Friday, flew home, and got a call Sunday night that they had accepted our offer. 13 miles south of Lakeview, it's a 1920 farm house, totally remodeled and updated, all new...

We had just exited the mall, back onto the sidewalk just outside when some guy got shot like 75 feet away from us. I didn't see it, but wife heard the...

    Well, sign me up for the old folks home.

    Just had my first "fall" off a ladder. Dumbass move, on the ladder kinda leaning to the left, pushing on something, the ladder basically tipped over and I dropped, landed on my feet but the momentum made me fall backwards and I landed on the fallen ladder. Got a couple nice scrapes on my arms...

    What a difference an inch makes.

    Ok, minds out of the gutter people. Lol Today I raised the bucket seats in my Dart up one inch, and when I jumped in to go for a ride it felt like a whole different car. I can actually hang my arm out the window without it hurting my shoulder. I made the spacers with an 1-1/4 hole saw and one...

    The keys for my Dart went missing around 5 weeks ago. Turned the house and garage upside down, and inside out looking for them. After days of searching I ordered a new set of locks and installed them a couple weeks ago. So yesterday I wend out in the backyard to throw something in the trash, and...

    Question about Travel Trailers - specs.

    When you look up specs on a specific trailer, and it says 26.5' is that just body of the camper, or is that total length from rear bumper to tip of the tongue? None of the specs actually specify which they are referencing. looking at a 2011 Jayco 22FB, well just looked at one, the guy said it...
