    Sorry if I interpretted it that way....but telling a guy he cant be pleased because he expects another man to be true to his word, well, I took that as ridicule.....if you didnt mean it that way, forget I said anything. I very carefully calculated the anticipated costs for buying the kit used...

    Yeah its funny how he was all nice and ready to help until he got the cash in his hand. I have been there done that before, but like I said - NEVER with a fellow Mopar enthusiast....I am not naive enough to think that Mopar folks can screw ya -- just never happened before. Most Mopar folks...

    Ahead versus buying a brand new kit with brand new pads and rotors? Yeah. Of course the argument could be made that unlike a hard part (ex: intake manifold, door handle, a wheel, etc) that has no wear items and just needs a coat of paint to be "new", the amount of use left in this kit is...

    ........And at almost $4 a gallon thats another $20. Initially the guy had said he would bring the parts to ME, at our local cruise. Then he had excuses so I agreed to meet HIM "somewhere". Then it turns out that he couldnt meet me anywhere anytime soon except for his work, which was the 50...

    Oh trust me, my life isnt stopping due to this jerk.... Just venting. The "free" bearing install (which the guy offered when he FIRST offered the kit, as a way to get me to buy, ended up costing me at least $25 in gas for the trips and he took almost week to do what he said he would do in a...

    What are your thoughts on this?

    Fair enough argument. But let me ask you this- when someone here sells a part -- a used part -- to anyone and they are asking full retail price for a 3-5 year old piece, wouldnt that meet with some ridicule? Of course it would. People wont pay brand new prices for used stuff. I have seen it...

    What are your thoughts on this?

    So a few weeks ago I was a local cruise and ran into this guy I had seen before a time or two....a real nice 69 (?) Dart. We had talked only once before, but you know how us Mopar people are...one chat about Mopars and you are friends for life. LOL Anyways, during a conversation with him and...

    Foreign cars

    We had a 1998 Chevy malibu (bought new). Put on over 110k miles in 6 years. Wasn't in the shop even ONCE for anything major. Bought a 2006 Sonata (new)......has over 103k, never in the shop for anything major. (knock on wood) Have had a 2003 Durango (bought when it was a year old)...

    Need second opinion, Am I Crazy or Not

    The same could be said about owning an old Mopar, couldnt it? Its only a "hole in the water" if you buy it on a whim -- you don not have time for it or lose interest qucikly and do not use it regularly. But if its a hobby you love, the toy is worth the cost IMHO. I ride a street motorcycle ...

    To do or not to do..

    We have a 2006 Hyundai Sonata that has 102k on it right now and so far no major issues.....just wear items. Also had a 98 Malibu that we retired when it had 110k or so....never any issues....just wanted something new at the time. Both 4 bangers. I would recommend either. Or, if you dont mind...

    look what we found at a swap meet

    That would be my guess. Even at $475, isnt that a deal? Or is it worthless without the other half?

    Warrant singer found dead

    I read somewhere that they did it so as to make sure no one associated his name with the Oswald that shot JFK.

    Warrant singer found dead

    You could have still been a rock star but not into drugs, booze etc. It can be done. Gene Simmons claims to have never used drugs etc. Of course his drug of choice was Vitamin P. LOL

    Warrant singer found dead

    He's like the energizer bunny.....LOL Science needs to autopsy him when he finally dies to see what the heck keeps him ticking....LOL He should have been dead decades ago.

    Cherry Pie was their BIG hit.

    Warrant singer found dead

    Its a little premature to start the "he asked for it" comments IMHO. No cause of death was released......it could have been a heart attack or a murder or something related to his alcohol issues. Super-fit track stars have also been found dead at early ages. Not to mention that "abusing the...

    over priced junk

    Trying to figure out the point of the original post to begin with. If someone has something to sell and you don't like the price, move on....maybe having a small chuckle at their expense while doing so. If they can sell it at that price, more power to them. If not, they will either drop their...

    To our cousins in the US...

    I have had issues with USPS too, though slightly fewer than with UPS. Part of the issue is how Canada accepts stuff into the country......CANADA makes the rules, not UPS or USPS. The broker fees are part of that. And there are fees like that for other countries as well. SOMEONE has to do the...

    Need some home A/C help/advice/thoughts

    Well I am feeling pretty blessed right now.......... The shop had both the capacitor and a motor in stock.....its one of those places where you just know the guys know their stuff..... The guy tested the capacitor first and that was the issue...dead fan leg on the capacitor. I bought the new...

    Need some home A/C help/advice/thoughts

    Thanks for the advice guys..... I tried giving the blades a little boost but it didnt seem to help. I didnt notice the acrid smell from burnt winding that you usually smell, but the body of the motor was pretty hot....of course it was 98 degress out....LOL...but hot to the touch. I did smell...

    Need some home A/C help/advice/thoughts

    SO at about 8 pm last evening, on one of the hottest days of the year, my A/C at home stops working. Outside compressor runs and shuts down......the condensor fan runs but very very slowly....like 1-2 revs per sec.... I replaced the capacitor 4 years ago (same scenario -- hottest day of the...

    What;s wrong with kids these days?

    Holy CRAP! So the pack-a-day guys are paying $210 a month in cigarrattes? Thats a chunk of change to see go up in smoke! I am too cheap a bastard to smoke (thank God!) LOL :angel9:

    What;s wrong with kids these days?

    You're right....there is no easy answer to this but mainly it centers around big money when we talk about booze and and smoking. And the fact that some businesses have made their livings off of booze and nicotine shouldnt disguise the issue. There are plenty of businesses that make money off...
