    Gotta love a scammer...

    Put my truck on a local board and this is what I got. Guy said he's from OH, but the number comes back to LA. Needless to say, that was the last contact...

    Turbo Buick powered '96 S10

    I'm getting too old and creaky to do any hotrodding anymore, this truck was built in 2002 and driven regularly until 2 years ago when my back decided to pitch a fit. Stored in a covered carport. It's dirty and has been sitting for 2 years, will need gas dumped and refilled at the minimum to run...

    Turning Circle/Radius

    I'm looking at new trucks and have been trying to find a comparison of turning circles. Either there's nothing out there or I'm using the wrong search word(s). I've had small trucks all my life and I'm not looking forward to "relearning" how to park something with a turn circle 10 ft larger...

    Ford Ecoboost Guys...

    What's the diff between the Raptor engine (450/510) and the regular (375/470) TT, is it just the tune or is hardware involved? I'm thinking of ordering a baseline F150 with the non-Raptor engine, can a simple tune bring this up to Raptor (or better) specs?

    Ad Blocker CRAP

    WTF is up with this site not recognizing my ad blocker is OFF? About every 4 or 5 pages I get a ad blocker window. I have my blocker turned COMPLETELY OFF for this site yet it still happens! Frustrating POS! :mad::poop::poop::poop::mad:

    Baseball Observance...

    Who decided a pitcher needs five complete innings to get a win, but only one pitch to get a loss? How is that even close to fair? BTW, I am NOT watching the Cowsh!ts tonight because the did "the kneel" . I refuse to watch any so-called "professional" sports team who does so. In eventuality...

    Why the heck...

    Do I keep getting a browser popup saying to disable my ad-blocker when it's been disabled on this site for months? Happens about every third or fourth time I get on...

    Is it just me...

    My "back" button quit working. Happened about the same time I upgraded to FFv55, but only on this site. Clicking back on the browser from either the menu or button does nothing...

    Forum Oddity...

    I keep seeing this one guy's handle "Cyclops389" extended out to the left side of his thread title. The only one I've seen on the board. What's up with that?

    Refinish Q

    Hi All, Been dormant too long in here! I'm about to send out an old (1913!) Colt M1911 to Accurate Plating & Weaponry (Cogan Custom) in AL for a refinish. Anyone here used them before? They were recommended by a member on the S&W Forum, those guys are pretty anal about their finishes. A...

    Water treatment...

    Hi All, I built an indoor glass waterfall and need some suggestions on treating the water to prevent algae & sludge. I'm thinking add some Clorox, but I'm not sure how it would affect paint/trim/flooring as far as corrosion. The basin holds about 10 gals, been full for about 3 weeks and today...

    Vinyl Albums...

    Hi All, Trying to clean out some unused stuff, I've got 146 record albums from 60's thru 80's - mostly rock, a couple country and a soundtrack or two. Any idea who buys these? I just listed them on our local BBS today, asking $200 for all. Is that a fair price?

    Magnet Q.

    Hi All, I 'm ordering a set of N52 Neodymium magnets to hold some wood trim pieces on a "water feature" I'm building into a wall in my home. They're adhesive-backed and the seller states I need pick N or S pole facing up. (yes, I've e-mailed him, no response) Does it matter? This isn't rocket...

    Electrical Q, old microwave...

    Hi All, Getting the kitchen remodeled (well, actually 3 rooms). Our old microwave, and I do mean OLD, is still working but no longer fitting the "decor". It's a 1977 GE "top of the line" for back then, maybe 650W and half the size of a freaking cabinet. This thing weighs 75# or more! Is there...

    Tennessee People ?

    Hope ya'll are OK! My little brother just sent me a slide show, one of his two rental places up behind Dollywood burned to the ground along with all other houses on that street. His "newest" place is now up there all alone. One of the neighbors was a permanent resident, they lost everything...

    Law Question...

    I keep hearing the political talking heads speculating about OBama pardoning "the Hildabeast" and her minions before leaving office. Can someone be pardoned if they've not actually been convicted (or even indicted) of a crime? Seems like a non-issue...

    'Nother football thread, who actually plays at 100%?

    Much as I disdain "pro" football players, which ones do you think are giving 100+ percent? In no particular order (other than Watt): J.J. Watt, Odell Beckham, Sean Lee

    Tuning Q (non GN)...

    Anybody here know of any tuners that have worked the LF3/MGG combo in the Cadillac VSport? This is the twin turbo 3.6L V6 and Aisin 8 speed auto. There's an outfit on the Cadillac forum that claims 70HP & 80Ft-Lbs, but they want $1300 for the tune and programming device. :eek: The good news...

    Best time of year...

    To buy a new car? The wife's CTS is 6 years old, going on 7 and she wants a new one. Just saw that GM has a $2000 incentive that runs out Monday. Alas too soon, as I need to do some research first...
