    Bucket list cars

    I'm with you. Lamborghini Huracan would be my next car if I could swing it. So are you as surprised as me to see all the Viper love in this thread. All I read about in the Viper forum is nobody cares about them anymore. Guess not.

    Sirius XM free listening 8/30 through 9/10- "Not Subscribed"

    Playlist have gotten worse and the commercials have increased. I'm also finding that the reception is getting worse. I have 3 cars with it and all 3 are now having what I'll just call buffering. I'll be driving down the highway and it will cut out for a couple seconds then come back. No...

    plasti dipped cars and trucks

    As already said, apply several coats. If you have to few it is a PITA to remove. I've done several wheels for friends and family when they just wanted a change and they have all come out nice. Little orange peel to them but what do you expect for the price. My wife had her wheels done for 3...

    FLOORING HELP

    To maybe help the OP as I know he lives across the park from me. We went through 2 years of above average rainfall and hit this summer where it's been dead ass dry in our area. Rain around us but nearly nothing where we live. Humidity has been fluctuating a lot as well. Some key notes. His...

    Garage light fixture

    +1 If you can hang your own lights you can patch your own walls. It's stupid easy especially if you aren't having to match a texture (like and interior wall).

    LT1 experience? Step inside please

    To be specific to this question. 100% yes, especially with the hood closed on a 95+ degree day. Best way to test a cooling system is while moving. If things look good while moving your cooling system is generally OK, it's the airflow that's the problem. On my Corvette (I added a pusher fan...

    LT1 experience? Step inside please

    They run hot and what you described doesn't sound that off bases. It's been 15 years or so since I've been around an LT1 and it was on a Corvette. Good friend had a Z-28. Both suffered from the same issue, lack of airflow while sitting still. First thing I would do is hook it up to a scanner...

    School taxes

    Reminds me of the below. Sad part is it's pretty true. Their are exceptions but those are getting rarer every year.

    School taxes

    Some things are more important than money. A wise man once told me, "If you pick your profession by the size of your paycheck you will not live a very happy life." I'll never admit he's wise to his face as it was my father but he couldn't have been more right.

    School taxes

    How can you say that with a straight face coming from a place that is pushing for (and received in several instances) $15 an hour min wage. Where I live we haven't reached $15 but $12 is the normal min wage for fast food and other rudimentary jobs. So someone working at McDonalds working 40...

    School taxes

    So what do you think would happen to the economy as the current generations die off and their were no offspring from people? I get your mentality but the better argument to fight about "keep out of my pocket" is more inline with all the funding that goes towards WIC, Disabled, etc. Some...

    Elon Musk is a Marketing Genius

    I was going off the statement of basically charging your car for free. That will take a pretty nice solar system to power your house and a 220V quick charger. Building a new house now and the quotes I've received put my ROI around 7-10 years depending on consumed usage which is nearly...

    Temporary Front End Cover/Bra Solution...

    Just don't tailgate anybody and you have nothing to worry about. One solution if you must is plastidip. They have it in clear as well.

    School taxes

    I feel your pain but it's 3.2% here... I don't mind it except for the blatant waste of money and the constant "bonds" for more money which keep raising things. Examples: - Text books - My wife teaches in district. She's worked at 3 different schools over the last 15 years. Only one of those...

    Elon Musk is a Marketing Genius

    As gas gets pushed out I'm willing to bet that electric starts to get more and more expensive. Gas pumps is a major source of revenue for Cities/States and as that dwindles they will look at other ways to get that money back not to mention other factors. Solar panels are good but again that is...

    That sucks. My GTS gets 24. Guess those smooth tubes take some MPG out of the mix :-) We don't want to talk about city driving though. I think I get 6. Ouch!!!

    Elon Musk is a Marketing Genius

    Serious question so hopefully it doesn't sound condescending.. Why is the Tesla perfect for your example? Go buy a Honda Civic For $20K (talking base prices) with aprox 35mpg and make that trip in 1.5 gallons of gas. Gas here is $2.40 a gallon so $3.6 in gas a day. or Go buy a Tesla 3 for...

    Any contractors here? Garage Ceiling question.

    Yes, their is just one 2x4 under the beam which is nailed to another 2x4 that goes up to the roof. I have some other pics that I was able to look at. Their are still braces everywhere so maybe they aren't finished yet? Not my house so I wont question it but will keep an eye on that when they...

    Any contractors here? Garage Ceiling question.

    Ran out to the neigborhood and found another house with a 3rd bay just like mine will be. This is how it is being framed. Still can't believe they wont just move the roof up a foot or at min have those cross braces just start up higher on the roof-line. I'm guessing this will be stupid easy...

    Chick Fil A is overrated, change my mind.

    For me this was In and Out Burger. Major hype around here when it came to town. I still prefer my Whataburger.

    Any contractors here? Garage Ceiling question.

    This is exactally what I had in mind. Couldn't think of the name. Appreciate everyone's advice and suggestions. I'll take them to the supervisor.

    Any contractors here? Garage Ceiling question.

    They haven't broke ground but all contracts are signed. We love the neighborhood, on a greenbelt lot with a nice (stocked) pond behind our fence line. Only real sticking point with the builder is their inability to help on this ask so I wouldn't bail for just this issue. I understand their...

    Any contractors here? Garage Ceiling question.

    Unfortunatly I can't have it poured wider or not built in without just going with a two car garage option. They will only build to their plan and nothing outside of it for walls. I can do all kinds of things inside the house but no wall modifications are allowed. Agreed that the roof line...

    Any contractors here? Garage Ceiling question.

    I'm in the process of having a house built with a builder (Castle Rock Homes). They aren't a custom home builder. My Garage ceiling is 9ft according to plan and will be a 3 car garage. The 3rd bay is tacked on to the side of the house and the roof basically goes into the side of the house...

    Yep, that'd make my sphincter clinch up a bit...

    Pops to him for driving that well with only one usable arm. He did break the tires loose but it looks like it could have been savable if the airbag didn't go off which made him lose more control. I thought they only came out in a side impact or in a row. Neither of which seemed to be the...
