Most likely the electrical system was not properly grounded. Electricity likes to take the path of least resistance. That Grandma’s house out in the boonies wasn’t properly grounded would not be a surprise.

That’s basically what I assumed and is a great well thought out project. The only point I was making is that studies like that don’t prove or disprove the N second “rule.” And that is simply because the conditions inside a petri dish, whose purpose is to promote bacterial growth, is way different than that inside your…

That’s near a nice price for the 328i cabrio with the sport package and the HK sound system. This 323 may have the HK but otherwise is a base model.

Dishwasher is what I use. Just rinse it well in the sink first and toss it on the top rack.

So I’m going to guess that you tested this by culturing it in a petri dish or something like this. Most of the studies I’ve ever heard of do something similar. The problem is that your stomach is not a petri dish and actively tries to kill bacteria by digesting them. Why someone gets sick from food poisoning is…

You know where they’ll really do well? All those small businesses that need a truck or two for general deliveries. Think places like auto parts stores that deliver to garages or manufacturing places that need to go pick up some materials from their suppliers. The bigger guys will be going for the F-150 Lightning.

It’ll get there fine. However 10 hours of interstate speeds might take the shine off the new relationship.

I think they were. The “fix” was just to aim them down more.

I must be old. Here’s mine:

I avoided significant additional serious injuries in an accident because I wasn’t wearing mine. I was broadsided and the driver’s seat was basically gone after the impact. If I had been wearing a belt, it’s likely my pelvis would have been crushed. For years I wouldn’t wear a belt while driving around town, although I…

Non-petroleum based ones. Oil Eater is my favorite. It does a great job cleaning oil from concrete too.

For a little while anyway.

If you have the space and work on cars regularly, parts washers are great. But when space is limited and you only work sporadically, your best bet is a plastic bucket with a snap on lid. Fill it about half full with your favorite cleaner. (Oil Eater is mine.) Then drop your parts in there for a good soaking.

Changing the engine every 3000 miles sure seems like an expensive proposition. But I guess that’s a sure fire way to get rid of the sludge.

Then there is movies like “Léon: The Professional” where it’s both.

Nice price, but not a car I’d want. I’m more of a convertible fan for my fun cars. For everyone who complains about old German cars, remember this is not a VAG product. Except for the engine, it’s not much more complex than the E36/e46 3 series cars. It’s a manual so you don’t have to worry about an expensive auto…

What is it about a heartbeat that is so special? It’s just another organ, albeit an important one. However there are a lot of organs you can’t live without.

Not mine. There’s certainly a potential for a child, but there is no brain there yet.

I’m just wondering if he’s a Florida Man or not. In an airport, it could easily be either.

That was my thought too. It’s a fun little toy, but not worth anywhere near $6500. Maybe at half the price if you’re into those kinds of things.
