    2018+ F-150 vs 2019+ Ram 1500

    Title pretty much says it. I'm in the market for a brand new pre-owned daily driver. 4x4, crew cab, and leather is a must. I want to have some toys in this one so either a very well optioned Lariat or one of the higher trim levels. I'm a touch nervous about getting a 3.5 ecoboost due to the...

    3.5 Eco-boost in a 2018ish F-150

    I'm in the market for a truck, and have been focusing on 2018-2020 F-150's, 4x4, crew cab etc.. I really don't have a preference one way or the other between the 5.0 or the 3.5 and feel power wise either one will be sufficient as this truck will tow a boat at some point in its life. My bigger...

    Kia K900

    Anyone have any experience with these? I saw one for the first time on the road the other day and noticed the V8 badging which piqued my interest. I was a little put off to see them stickered in the mid $60s but I was blown away to see 2015's with low mileage selling for the high 20's. Used...

    Galaxy S8 vs. Pixel 2

    Title pretty much says it all. I'm in the market for a new phone and I've narrowed it down to these two given the current sales on them. I have an S7 now that I've been fairly happy with but I'm not married to Samsung either. Thoughts?

    2017 Fusion Sport

    Anyone have one yet? I think within the next year I need a new daily driver and this fits the bill. Sold the Mustang about a year ago and while it was the right thing to do at the time I find myself longing for something with a little more performance than my current appliance (08 altima 2.5)...

    Class A CDL

    Anyone in here with a Class A CDL? If so, what did it cost you to get yours? I recently started a part time job selling fire trucks. Been driving fire trucks since I was 18 but in both NJ and VA where I live now firemen are exempt from needing a CDL to drive. When you drive one for...

    Dog Training

    We have a goldendoodle that is just over a year old. He is WILD. Endless energy. A good dog for the most part but he is starting to really get on my nerves. In my wife's eyes he can do no wrong though. Biggest problem I have is him jumping on people, especially when we first get home or...

    groomsman gifts

    Less than a month to go before my life is over. My fiance informs me I need to get all my groomsmen gifts. Few weddings I've been in I didn't get anything (nor did I care) and one I got some useless junk. The boss says I have to do it so I'd like some ideas. I'm trying to stay away from...

    Cold Engine Part Throttle rattle

    Since it has been cold out I have noticed when the car is started cold, until it warms up I get a very distinct rattle from the engine. It seems to only occur between 2500-3000 rpm, at very light throttle. I took it to the dealer, left it overnight so it would be cold for them, and of course...

    Search Engine Optimization

    I'm helping out a friend that has a small HVAC contracting business. He has a website but gets very little traffic. I know all the big players in town are big into SEO and AdWords. We have contacted a few people (Yodle being one), and have been met with lot's of high pressure sales tactics...

    Getting ready to order a Griot's polisher. Suggestions on what else to get.

    As the topic says I'm getting ready to spring for a Griot's random orbit polisher. That being said, what else do I need? I have no idea on backing plates, pads, etc. I figure the 105/205 combo is a good place to start, and I am also going to get a fine grade nano skin foam pad. I hear that...

    Walk behind Leaf Vacuum

    Anyone here own or use a walk behind leaf vacuum? Leaves are coming down and the beginning of my annual fall nightmare are here. I've been really thinking about buying a machine to handle the work this year. Are they worth the money? Before anyone suggests a tow behind that attaches to a...

    Spintech Mufflers

    Anyone running Spintech mufflers? Specifically I'm interested in the Sportsman Street 3000's. They have a video on their website that has them, although it's on a car with cats and I am curious what they sound like WITHOUT cats. Here is the video, the sportsmans are featured towards the...

    MT-82 Whine

    My car has developed a faint gear whine in 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th. It occurs from about 2300-3000rpm, and best I can describe it as almost like the blower whine in a terminator but much quieter. You have to be listening for it, but I know it wasn't always there. Am I wasting my time taking it...

    First trip to the track

    Took my car to track for the first time tonight. VMP in Dinwiddie, VA. Temp was around 70 and someone else told me the DA was about 1200ft. Scales said I was 3800lbs. (I weigh about 190 and had about 7/8 tank of gas). I was on basic street tires, Toyo Proxes I think? 18" all weather tires...

    GT 500 vs. Boss 302 Steering Wheel

    Which way should I go? For whatever reason the GT500 wheel seems to be very inexpensive at Levittown Ford. Any deals out there on the Boss wheel?

    Mufflers with the least rasp?

    Currently have Roush axle backs. Even with everything else stock, at higher RPM they sound too raspy / trumpety / farty (I think I'm just making up words now. I plan on either doing cat deletes or an off road H pipe, and I know this will only exacerbate the problem. So which mufflers will...

    I'm back in a Mustang!!!!

    Another reason I hate dealerships

    Just wanted to vent about how much dealers suck as a general rule. Still shopping for a used coyote car, and came across a few up in northern VA. A few were pretty decently priced so I took a ride to check a few out. Eventually found one that I wouldn't mind owning, so I braced myself for the...

    Accident Damage on Carfax

    In continuing my search for a Coyote car, I found what looked to be a nice deal on an11' A6 premium with mileage in the low 30's. Everything looked good until I found the carfax, which showed "Accident Reported" and in the column to the left it said North Carolina Damage Report as the source...

    Any HVAC business owners in here?

    Full time I am a firefighter, and it isn't nearly enough to make ends meet. A friend from work has a small HVAC business on the side that I have been helping him out with recently. After high school I was a shop boy/helper at a plumbing and heating place so I know a little bit, but no formal...

    Oasis Request

    Please perm ban me / kill my first born if this is the wrong place for this. Can anyone possibly pull an oasis report for me on a car I'm looking at buying? It's almost 2 hours away so if I find it has issues before going up there it'd be a major help. VIN:1ZVBP8CF5B5169789 The car is an 11'...

    Any CNC Machinists here?

    Considering changing careers. Local community college offers a certificate program as well as a 2 degree in Precision Machining / CNC. If you are in this line of work, do you like it? What are job outlooks like? What kind of money can be made doing this? Would a cert or degree be the route...

    Anyone work for the railroad?

    Does anyone on here work for a railroad? CSX, NS, etc.? My current job is becoming a dead end money wise and I have been considering a career change. I work for a fire department currently, some college but no degree. Trains have always interested me and I have always been told they still...
