Its chocolate ice cream!

Everytime I see the Duster mascot, I think of:

200K highway or city miles?

Was changing the valve cover gasket on my 2001 Frontier. Loosened all the bolts, lifted the valve cover out with the bolts still in it (because it was a pretty open area and should have been easy to do).

The video in the article kinda shows it breaking towards the center, but the left side is off-screen so cant be 100% sure.

Very cool!

Eventually I was able to fix my crappy flares, the problem I had was that I never felt comfortable with them in an important joint like brake lines, so I ended up just using the pre-flared length anyway. I should have just done that from the start!

Flare tools are cheap....actually being able to make a good, leak-free double flare? Not so easy! I tried, failed twice, ended up just buying a length of pre-flared tubing and added some bends in it to “hide” the extra length.

To add to this, HF “PIttsburgh Pro” has a caliper compression set that uses different plates to fit into rear calipers (pins in different places to correspond with pins in the piston itself if it needs to slide back in or actually turn, etc).

I used to work phone support for PC banking software. When we got a customer that had a doctorate in anything, saying “thank you for calling, Mr ....” was almost 100% of the time greeted with “that is DOCTOR ....”.

You forgot another obstacle: the fact that the dealer will have to use a service bay for this warranty repair, getting paid presumbaly less than normal because dealer/manufacturer, instead of being able to charge Average Joe $125.00/hr of labor or $400.00 to perform a 10K mile service which involves staring at the car…

“What does it benefit a dealer to send an itemized quote via email?”

Have a pic?

Neutral - I would buy new, because “lightly used” pickups are demanding such high prices, I wouldn’t be saving much over buying new anyway. And someone can tell me the pickup truck Im buying was “lightly used”, but we might all have different definitions of “lightly used”.

Insane CP but I hope he gets it, so I can sell my ‘11 G37 Limited Edition AWD sedan with 27K miles for something like $22K :)

...and then I see the side profile pics where they went from an ugly squared off wheel well to an uglier half square half.....WTF shape is that?....wheel well.

To heck with body panel gaps being inconsistent....now we need to ask if we can only drive it while holding the steering wheel in a certain way.

They were transporting the records to the NHTSA in a Ferrari which mysteriously caught fire and burned all the paperwork to a crisp.

....assuming those with access to the tool only used it “for good”. Im sure once one gets the taste of their 250 mile old Ferrari magically having 0 miles again, you keep wanting go to back for more hits. Every 250 miles or so.

To heck with the mitt, I want to know what got that thick clingy foam on there!
