    smokers

    For every asshole smoker who throws a butt out of the window, there is an asshole non-smoker who puts flammable trash in an ashtray. Such as paper, gum wrappers, napkins, ect. It all evens out. Being a smoker is beneficial on the highway to deter tailgaiters. If somebody is close enough behind...

    Where can I buy this column lock?

    I walked outside to fire my car up december 4, 2008. My column lock laid busted, on the ground, right next to where the car was parked. Kill switches/ unplugging things is the way to go. Unless the thief has a rollback. Then your screwed.

    Why does everyone keep saying this....

    100% correct sir. I'm 27. When I was 12 to 14, a black on black 1970 454 4spd MC SS in good condition went for $4500. Hot rods turned into collector cars in the late 90's. You know when hemis turned from $40k cars into $1/4m cars. People who b*tch about the value of their hotrod going down...

    Lawn Care

    Your lawn looks pretty nice. I like the wall. Im not really a big fan of sod. The square by the wall is pretty dark (sport blend maybe?) Unless you lay an entire yard at once, it tends to vary in color like that. From the pic it looks like the low spots are a little darker than the high spots...

    Lawn Care

    Try to water in the mornings. If you are using an old school sprinkler make sure to leave it in areas for 15 to 20 minutes each spot. Stay away from mid-day watering, as the water will act as a magnifying glass-especially if you are not getting the water deep enough. Watering is useless unless...

    Contemplating School

    X-ray tech was my first major. I never graduated college but I do have about 100 hrs of b.s. under the belt. I never served in any branch of the military for medical reasons too. I know a lot of friends who got waivers for certain medical conditions, and a lot of others who lied (as per...

    Top driving annoyances

    When your driving a truck with a trailer and some total dumbass passes you on the right, then stands on the brakes to make a left turn 200 ft later, with oncoming traffic. Yesterday I was in a one ton diesel with a 15,000 lb trailer. The stupid b*tch is in an Audi TT, who's gonna win? I've got...

    BP Oil Video live feed.....

    Bingo. Most of them are mechanically retarded. As a whole, engineers design a lot of stupid bullsh*t that "works in theory". This is basically no good in REAL LIFE, where a tech or assembler or toolmaker ect. has to re-engineer or modify the original "Engineer"s design just to get something to...

    87 GN for my sons first car ?

    If a kid is a car guy, let him BUY whatever he wants/ can afford. I bought my GN when I was 15. It was the perfect GN for a teenager. Bone stock, and rusty. The kind of car that is just a little too far gone to paint, but still has lots of life left. It went 15.17 @ 96.5 the first track outing...

    Oil life... how long will it last

    If you care about the motor, just change it. I have a honda that just went 33,000 miles on an "oil change":eek:. The motor is $50 or so at a junkyard. The GN makes it about 750 on its oil before a change. BTW- the hondas oil filter was about 5 lbs:D

    Rough running turbo buick

    Where are you located at? You might be close to a guru and not even know it. Have you tried a different fuel pressure regulator yet? You say there is hesitation, is there a backfire? Will the car shut off @ idle if you don't give it gas? Do you have tps readings while car is running? Dead...
