    NWS Pics that make you :lol: every time you see them NWS

    There was a good episode on mythbusters demonstrating that same thing. The gif in this thread doesnt show all sides of the tank so its hard to see exactly what was going on. Either way, Its when the tank is filled with vapor/gas and it condenses, most likely caused by a quick cooling. In the...

    I've been looking for the past month or so for a clean 4wd truck. My price range allowed me to look at 97-03 F150s...however up here in New England its hard to find ones without rust on them. A local dealer responded to an email I sent with an 04 F150 with around 90kmi. Extended cab, 4wd...

There is a walk-in closet in my bedroom that currently has track lighting, a window and no finished flooring in it. Its about 10' x 8'. Any...

    electric motor/random orbital sander

    I just moved into a house that was a forclosure so there were a few items left in the house, one of them being a porter cable random orbital sander. It has no power cord on it however so I took it apart figuring it would be an easy fix. I can see where the one wire broke off at the switch...

    Accidentally locked my Craftsman Tool Box

    I was in the middle of moving to my new house this weekend and was in too much of a rush. I went to grab the top section of my toolbox which has a flip up lid on it, and just closed it without thinking much about it so that I could put it in the truck. I unloaded when I arrived at my new place...

    structural strength of convertibles

    Hey guys... I have been trying to at least keep one of my eyes on searching for a cobra and was just wondering how the convertibles compare to the coupes. I have ridden in some convertibles before and they just feel incredibly flimsy in general. I bring my car to the track a few times a...
