    Renting a vehicle for vacation

    Wear and tear is a big advantage. Also have possible theft, vandalism or damage. It would be such a pain in the to deal with that on a personal car when out of state. With a rental, exchange at a nearest location and let them deal with it. You’re back up and running with little down time I did...

    2015 F150 - Recommend Lug Nuts

    Last I knew Ford dealer might be the solution. They sell them by one or a kit. I believe the kit makes it cheaper and a newer design. When I worked at a repair shop I would replace them without charging the customer. Last thing I needed was a customer to drop a good pile of cash on repairs...

    Breakroom Do's and Don'ts (mostly Don'ts)

    Throwing a damn little Cesar’s pizza box in a fresh garbage bag is big pass the buck for me. Take it to recycling or throw it in the dumpster.

    Dismounting tires at home: Who's done it?

    Worked at a tire shop for many years. It can be fun and repetitive work. Dicey things including: beading up tires to 140psi. Well beyond the recommended 40psi on any tire machine. Somehow having a employee install a 14.5” tire on a 14” rim. That was a bad workers comp claim. And playing with...

    New job advice

    I would explorer other companies. I have a good friend at Hertz. Most drivers will make around 10. It’s mostly to get out of the house and away from the spouse. But with enterprise they do put a small disclaimer that car cleaning may be needed. And I wouldn’t want to take on that roll for 10...

    Accepting another job out of state

    Unless your spouse plans to move with you. I would pass. You need a support team in place to take on new challenges. Can’t imagine a new state, new job and trying to manage life. All while being without loved ones.

    Knife Porn Thread (pics)

    BladeHQ. Had to check several times a week but they do pop up with enough patients. Microtech is a common knife to counterfeit. So I went with a reliable source. Also got a bounty hunter ultra tech from them. This is the way.

    How old is too old for a tire?

    10 year shelf life is somewhat of a industry standard. Mostly 7-10 years. Your tires are turning three in a few months. I would run them. Giving no run flat damage, large cracks, and overall tread above 4/32 of an inch

    Who makes decent ball joints and suspension/steering components these days?

    Moog is going to depend on what the part number is. Sounds bat crazy, right. They offer RK and CK series. Both have different warranty and totally different part. I am NOT a fan of the cheaper part. I have had customers put 15,000 a year on cheaper RK series and they’ll fail. Even had a tech...

    Cracked Windshield

    carlite is the brand. Use the exact word carlite and even have them show you the invoice from the dealer for it. Do not let them convince you that oem glass from aftermarket is same. Use carlite for best results

    You sure you wanna go down this rabbit hole? NFA items are a different breed of gun ownership. You can’t own just one. Can’t be sold easily and basically a lifetime commitment. I’m not saying don’t. But it can get expensive, time consuming and totally rewarding. My AR is a two stamp gun...

    Security deposit: Am I being unreasonable?

    Well congrats on the house. my previous lease was just as bad. We did a walk through and we all agreed it was acceptable. Yet two weeks go by and we get a check with 400 less than our 1,500 deposit. Claiming ink spot of the carpet. Major headache but look at the bright sides. You ain’t no ones...

    The Random Weather Thread

    It is nice to see this time of year. Working at an airport has some advantages. It was a simple iPhone 8 with a vivid mode on to capture that sunset. Some say the gladiator almost ruins the shot, lol
