    Anybody know about gas fire pit rings?

    I'm looking to do a gas fire pit on my deck. I was looking at rings for it in the 36-48" range. They seemed pretty expensive for what they were, so I was thinking of making my own out of black pipe and drill holes for the gas to come up. Then I came across the Warming Trends crossfire burner...

    Truck is throwing codes

    It's time for an echeck on my 2001 HD F150 but I have a CEL. The code indicated lean bank 2. What could cause only one bank to run lean? I changed out the 02 sensors and that didn't fix it. I am changing out the fuel filter now, hoping that could be it, because after that the only thing I can...

    Carolina/Tennessee road trip ?'s

    Tried this in roadside, might get better response here. If all goes as planned, I'll be picking up a car in Atlanta tomorrow and driving it back to Ohio. Since I've heard some of the best roads in the country are between here and there, I will be avoiding freeways as much as possible. The...

    If all goes as planned, I'll be picking up a car in Atlanta tomorrow and driving it back to Ohio. Since I've heard some of the best roads in the country are between here and there, I will be avoiding freeways as much as possible. The obvious choice was Deal's Gap, so I can catch 129 right...

    Would you buy this car?

    I'm looking at used BMW 335's for my girlfriend's new car. We found a good one, but the carfax says it had a right side impact 3 years ago. Is there any way of telling how bad it was? As far as I know, right side impact could be anything from a stray cart in a parking lot, to getting T-boned at...

    Another "what would you do" thread

    So I am about done with daily driving my RWD HD F150 in the snowbelt. My plan was to wait for the new F150 to come out and get that. The only problem is that I'm finding it hard to justify spending $45000 on a new truck. Even a bare bones, extended cab, 4X4 is well into the 30's. The other...

    Investment advice

    I recently got engaged and we are set to be married next year. We are both coming into the marriage with a fair amount in savings. I would guess it is about 90k between us. I have been looking into deferred comp and IRA's through my work and other ways to invest the money and I have a few...

    Another question for the lifters.

    I know this isn't a bodybuilding forum, but I also know there are a bunch of guys way more knowledgable than I, and I don't feel like joining another forum. Anyways, over the last 6 months I cut about 40lbs. Right now I'm at 5'10" and a pretty lean 165lbs. I obviously lost a little bit of muscle...

    Can anyone recommend an air rifle?

    My girlfriend wants to learn how to shoot so I am going to start her on one of those cheap pump ones from Walmart. She doesn't need anything crazy, I just want her to get comfortable with it. But, I think I would like to get a little bit nicer one. Again, nothing crazy, probably under $150. I...

    Differences in Labrador temperament between gender/color?

    I'm thinking about getting my girlfriend a dog for Christmas. I grew up with a female yellow lab and it was the perfect dog. A lot of energy, but listened well, protective, but not threatening. Are these dogs pretty even across genders and fur colors or do they vary?

    Anyone ever, or know someone who has, done a Factory Five build?

    First off, I know they have their own forums, but this site gets a lot more traffic and has some really knowledgable members. That said, I have been wanting to do one for a while now. I want to build the roadster kit. I'm still in the deciding if I really want to do it/planning stage though...

    N/A, high compression, high rpm build ?'s

    I couldn't really find a n/a specific forum so I decided on posting it here since I'm thinking of running e85. I'm looking into building a factory five roadster and have decided on a Mark VIII as the best donor. I was planning on forging the motor and building a custom turbo set up, but a high...

    Any advice on buying an engagement ring?

    Well, it's (almost) that time, probably less than a year. A couple guys at work recently got engaged and wend the build your own route and said they got more for their money that way. I would ask them but I want it to be a total surprise and word gets around a firehouse faster than you would...

    Anybody have an Acadia Denali?

    My girlfriend's dad is looking to get one. He is very impulsive, just came home one day and decided he wants one. Any experience with them? I checked them out and they seem ok for what they are. Anything similar he should check out? I want him to look at the new Explorer before he does anything...
