    Park

    Even worse was on the TV show, "Starsky and Hutch", you would occasionally see the auto brake pedal, or the column shifter while the sound effects had him rowing a stick. And of course, he was always burning rubber. In a smog motored Torino? I don't think so. I thought the people that produce...

    New Batteries for Worklight

    I bought a new light. https://www.amazon.com/MAFSEUT-Rechargeable-Headlamp-Waterproof-Headlight/dp/B0BX35XX38/?tag=fabo03-20 I've had a couple before. It's just not worth the cost of new batteries. Thanks for teaching me about these rechargeable batteries. I'm sure I'll be able to justify...

    New Batteries for Worklight

    There are several in the 3400 range; some at 5000, But no others until those 9900's. Maybe it's just "optimistic advertising"? Beats me.

    New Batteries for Worklight

    Is 9900 amp/hour believable? Only one I've seen that high. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CG1KL3RC/?tag=fabo03-20 In regards to buying a brand name, what's good?

    New Batteries for Worklight

    It has (2) 18650 6800 mah 4.2v batteries in it now. The charge doesn't last long anymore. Searching, I only find numbers lower than 6800, and voltages lower than 4.2. Mostly 3.7. I know nothing about batteries like these, other than the 4.2 is voltage. I think the 18650 is a type, like a...

    Shipping parts- new way to me. Thought I’d share.

    Who ends up doing the actual shipping? UPS, Fed Ex, USPS, or? Whoever does the actual shipping gives pirateship a better rate?

    Ford 4.9 question. Yes ford question

    I have a '95 w/ a 4.9, no air pump, but it has a/c. I have wanted to do this too. My p/s leaks a little, and I'd rather just be rid of it. I think there's a link to a manual box in this link (LMC Truck). The one you found is cheaper, I think. One of my concerns was whether the p/s pitman...

    Incessant Beeping!

    For years I have said that I don't need the microwave oven to beep when I push a button, when it's done, or WHENEVER! I know it's done; it shut off! Recently, I mentioned this to a friend of my step-daughter, and she said to google the brand and model number, and I'll find a Youtube video (in...

    Let’s talk CB radios

    Wellllll maybe. I drove a truck for 13 years. I couldn't tell you anything about cb's. I had a cheap one just to talk with co-workers.

    I go in for tire repair and the man asks about my windshield wipers....?

    I'm a LOT more likely to frequent a business that isn't obviously just trying to sell me something, and treats me like I have a brain. The local auto parts store was like that. Before I moved here, I was visiting and as I was heading home, the alternator went south. They opened their doors...

    What year and model Chrysler is this?

    I was brought up on V8's with rear wheel drive. My first real car was a 70 Challenger R/T, 383, 4spd, 3.91's with no PS, PB, or anything (in 78, 79 or so). With L60's, a hi rise Edelbrock and an AFB, it ran 14.40's at about 96. I was ready to buy my first (and only, as it turns out) new car...

    Working out in the winter

    Lottsa good stuff on this thread. My wife and I walk, run, swim, do calistentics, bike. Well. I do some of that, she does the rest! The bike trainer thing sounds good. I'm 64. Exercising out in the winter ain't what it used to be. I am fortunate enough to have a heated garage. I can't...

    Why an oil change takes so long

    I was thinking the same thing. Ever whack something that's in a vice with a rawhide mallet, and have the mallet come back and whack you in the face? --- I "may" have done that. :rolleyes: I could feel the pain when they walked into the door that wasn't up all the way. I learned years ago to...

    Information

    I know nothing of it's value. However, maybe put it on eBay with a very high reserve to feel it out? I'm guessing someone would pay big $$$$ for something like that; having never been used.

    A Real Hero.

    Excellent. When MLB extended netting a few years ago, there was a lot of complaining. They should’ve used this story to support their decision.

    Unusual Hobbies

    Moles and Voles are my nemesis. My wife is an avid gardener, and those little bastards have no mercy. Rabbits used to be a problem. But now my neighbor has a pellet gun... EDIT: Oh, and to the point of the thread, killin moles and voles is my unususal hobby!

    Talkin About The Post Office........

    They couldn't care less. If they did, they wouldn't let you see that map/mess. To paraphrase Lily Tomlin, "We're your postal service, we don't care because we don't have to."

    Put my Opel Manta on Bring A Trailer. Sold

    When those Opel’s were imported, in the 70’s, foreign cars were still a tough sell in the U.S. Anything except VW’s were “weird”.

    Car Stuff...

    I thought I'd follow up on this, now that we've been there. A nice little town with lots of history. The Naval Academy tour was very interesting. There are lots of shops and restaurants. Don't take kids. (we didn't) NOTHING to do there for them. Nice sunset sailboat cruise. Three days...

    Daughter's 10 week old Dachshund puppy gets her first pup cup

    One happy pup! The two dogs we had when I was a kid could hear the hiss of a whipped cream can from a mile away! Well maybe not that far, but they loved that stuff! They didn't care if it got all over their faces. They would shake if you didn't shoot it to them quick!
