    Duster=1 Civic =0

    yeah, it's the one in my avatar....it's bearable, but still sucks...we'll see if that changes when the insurance adjuster comes out on Monday.

    Question for home electrician

    Ok, So I found it. The breaker controls the one back bedroom and the closet light for the adjacent room. Apparently all of the power runs through the box that has the switch for the closet light. 4 sets of romex nutted together behind the switch in a tiny box... I had two issues. The wire...

    Question for home electrician

    Mike, The breaker hasn't ever tripped to my knowledge, but there are some strange goings on with that one circuit. Thanks for all of the help. I would not attempt to work on the breaker box although I have done some minor stuff like installing dimmers and ceiling fans. Electricity scares the...

    Rolex 24, Anyone ever been?

    Greg, I happen to be sitting in the infield ( pit road patio ), which, from the 3d seating chart, is right at the end of pit road at the entrance to turn 1 of the road course. I also have "guided tour" access to the garage area, whatever that means and access to the driver autograph session...

    Rolex 24, Anyone ever been?

    Has anyone out there in FABO land ever been to the Rolex 24 at Daytona? Oh, and if anyone could shed some light on the "what can I bring" policy" as it relates to infield parking, I'm a little confused. The site says that I can bring in a 14x14x14 cooler and a backpack through the gate, but if...

    Pay attention when you drive.

    I saw that a couple of days ago for the first time............. horrific and disturbing. I have tons of stories like this but SEEING it has much more impact on people.

    Will this type of technology kill the muscle car?

    Welp, I'll keep the blue bomber and when the cops get behind me in their little electric "scooters" I'll head out to the highway, drop the hammer and loose them when their top speed is 35 or battery range is 30 miles :D Oh, and I'd love them to try an EM pulse weapon to disable my car.... I'll...

    Passed By My Own Tire

    Right there with you, I had to finish the "dealer prep" myself when we bought the wife's mini-van. They left an inspection sheet ( paper ) ON top the engine, can only imagine if it had caught fire. One of the roof rack cross bars was on backwards ( they have ARROWS on them for a reason ) and...

    You must not have any FABO members as neighbors :lol: My neighborhood is a little different ( apparently I'm the local mechanic ). People see me working on the duster and stop by to ask advise about their cars or to borrow tools ( typically I just walk down and do it for them unless I'm busy...
