Of course you’ve had no complaints. They hire a plumber to fix the problem properly, not a home builder. And if a home builder like you has the reputation of the ones around here, then you wouldn’t get calls to correct something that your business screwed up; you’d get a class action lawsuit. Also, rocket boy, the…

One important thing to remember is when it comes to vehicle classification, the US military will always do its own thing, driven by how to squeeze a vehicle’s procurement into the budget. The WW2 era Jeep was classified as a truck, while the earlier Bantam-manufactured vehicles were initially classified as liaison…

In his next article, Tom will discuss that time a dealership swatted him. :D

Still got my landline. It was useful a few years ago when a storm blew through and knocked down hundreds of trees and all the cellphone towers in the immediate area. Plus the power was out for most of a week, so no recharging the cellphone. But the landline worked he entire time. Yeah, cleaning and restocking the…

Every android app I’ve tried hits a limit on the phone numbers it can handle. I’ve yet to encounter one that doesn’t reach the full point or start rolling over/autodeleting the oldest numbers within a 3 month period.

I love when they call to tell me my car warranty was about to expire and I tell them I didn’t realize that the warranty on my car lasted long than they’ve been alive, so I’m going to have to sue over denial for thousands of dollars in serve they haven’t covered in the last 30 years.

Just going to point out that tiny little New Jersey currently measures roughly 170 miles from the extreme southern extent to the extreme northern extent and takes about an hour to drive completely across east-to-west as long as you’re not attempting to do so on a summer weekend. Yet we currently have 10 area codes.…

Moral of SantaBarbarianLS6's story: Replace the Yugo wiring with the Fiat 127 wiring. All of it.

Allow me to just say, it isn’t just your Yugo that has problems. The major American automotive manufacturers have fallen a long, long way, as have local mechanics. I bought a 2005 Ford Taurus wagon. After a long, long, hard look, I have determined that there are about 8 rolls of electrical tape deployed in that…

More like if he drove the $500 postal jeep in through the gates, they’d accuse him of trying to steal from the facility when he tried to drive back out.

Why were there two cellphones out to record the carnage? Trying to sell that footage to cops/pd cam/body cam/live pd/lobe star law/north woods law/live rescue/nightwatch nation/local news/monetize via youtube or facebook/ad nauseam.

I’d hazard a guess and say those golf commentators don’t know anything about comebacks, either. Woods has been back in the sport for years after facing down his supposedly career ending physical condition, and only recently managed a single major victory. Hell, he had a period where he wasn’t even making the cut to…

This isn’t an accident. This is a method to prevent customers from taking too much advantage of the sale, which Epic claims is taking money out of their pockets (The discount is larger than Epic’s share of the sale, thus Epic claims it is reimbursing vendors the excess portion of the discount - IIRC, some 15% of the…

David Tracy, you have once again failed us. We know you inquired about a stretch conversion of your $500 postal jeep, but you failed to mention if they were willing to do the work or not.

Wasn’t that on their budget rental lot across the street from Budd’s Pools? (For those that don’t know, “Budd’s” is a local family with numerous business ventures over the last 4 decades, from pool installers, to real estate, to cheap car rentals, to a handful of different restaurants. There were some other business…

Your post makes it sound so much like the modern Z cars are the automotive equivalent of a buttplug.

I only took a quick look at the comments, but I don’t think anybody else realized. They didn’t do a Rabbit covered in confetti. They did a Rabbit driving through confetti. The rabbit stamping is densest at the front center, then gets more sparse as it spreads out to the sides and even less dense as it pattern moves…

Of course there is no demand anymore. Thank public education for that. When was the last time a school offered a driver ed course that provided the experience of driving an automatic, let alone how to drive a stick?

LOL. I can see problems for hydrogen vehicles should that become a dominant technology. I can imagine the January highway reports... “Expect icing about two hours after rush hour as the exhaust from hydrogen powered vehicles condenses and freezes on the road surface.”

People forget the fundamental flaw of Tesla’s vehicle design : Put everything in the vehicle, but disable the features the buyer did not pay for via software. Can you see Ford of Chrysler installing the A/C on a vehicle, but leaving off the control knob just because you didn’t fork over the cash for the feature?
