I dealt with my craftsman 36 tooth ratchets like my entire life, I’m talking age 14-39, engine swaps, complete part outs, you name it, used the ever living hell outta them. Then.... I bought a set of 90t gearwrench ones..... OMG - for the love of god get yourself some 90+ tooth ratchets if you do ANYTHING with cars,…

I feel like the next fast and furious could be based on this “OK guys, we need an ocean liner that looks JUST like the ace, we are gunna drug the crew, swap boats and fake sink it.... All for this prelude.....” I’d watch it...

I think I looked at one of these used a while back, if I recall even then (8 years?) the windshields were almost impossible to get.

If you apply your logic to anything else in life I’m guessing you’d disagree. Cookies have a a MSRP - shit people are paying extra for things these days, screw the common folk, Oreos are now $50. What if that happened to everything in life. MSRP is a concept created by the manufacturers to allow wiggle room for…

1956 International S120 - sitting on a 2000 2wd S10 frame, 5.3 V8 mounted. Got held up because I needed a wider rear end to fill the wheel wells, the one I had was trash. Just recently pick and pulled an explorer 8.8, once it’s cleaned up and refreshed/installed I’ll be comfortable perma-mounting the cab to the frame.…

Kentucky briefly had these and they were based on your registration renewal date, which was based on your birthday. I don’t remember the exact details, but I’d juuuust bought a 2002 Infiniti G20 in April of 2001, my birthday is in May, so I got the notice, and had to go pay for them to emissions/safety inspect my 1…

Dont forget he’s got a franchise across the river in N. Kentucky now, not too far from Big Bone Lick... Just sayin’...

The number of “but the pipeline” and “this is biden’s fault” stuff is killing me.  When I point out Trump bragging about his 2 year deal, that expires this april, with Opec to cut production back when covid shutdowns had oil trading negative they generally tell me I’m full of shit until I provide his tweet bragging…

Not sure of commute or needs, but a Prius or Rav 4 Prime may be a viable alternative.  I have a prius prime.  I can do 30 miles of all EV driving before going hybrid.  I’ve put 22k miles on it in about 8 months, lots of longer drives currently, but prior to that my lifetime MPG was greater than 100.  It’s currently…

Eh?  When I started driving in 98, gas was 99cents a gallon... Haven’t seen that in a loooong time.... So ya it peaks, but then it settles to a lower, but slightly higher baseline.....

Everyone is sick of no one wanting to work. This shit is why. I see what your saying list wise, but all those people listed, you know what they DIDNT do? They didn’t slap, punch, spit on , or kick a flight attendant. Flight attendants are tired, overworked and probably underpaid like many of us. The LAST thing they…

So.... throwing this out there.... I wreck....the door is mangled and has my seat adjuster button pushed forward and I’m knocked out for say a minute or two. I’m trapped in the car and need to get the seat back to get out, even though I’ve now “unstuck” the seat button, I’ve got to wait 5 mins until I can get the…

I’ve got a “shit box” project car for the first time in years, a 2003 Chevy S10 - you know how awesome it is to be able to buy any part, from any vendor, at any level quality for almost any price.... it’s good times.....

“Damn my wiper blade tore, ripped, froze, whatever”..... Shit - I have to special order a 52" blade from Tesla, and I’m <insert any midwest city here>. Guess I can’t drive until it arrives. Sorry - Had a subaru tribeca (Early model) that required dealer only wiper blades, won’t ever do that again. Being able to goto…

Was that for non-commercial use tho?

The other just before Christmas my self, my bro-in-law, and 2 other guys were carpooling back from the first indoor 30+ soccer game we had won.  We told the guy at the White Castle’s drive thru speaker the story and he was happy for us.  When we arrived, I was like guys, we gotta do this.  We asked how many people…

Kentucky here - country ham checking in....

I posted above, but I literally just a few months ago sold my 2016 Mazda CX-5 to carvana for 19k....  The part of me that smells scam is the fact that he was ONLY asking 10k for it....

As someone that just sold an 80k+ mile 2016 CX-5 to Carvana for 19k.... I don’t know how any parties involved didn’t realize this was too good to be true....

Due to a sudden temp drop, a full garage, and a longish trip in my S10 coming up - I went to an instant oil change place this week.  It was the craziest thing I’ve ever seen.  The guy telling me he had a 2.2 in his “SS” S10 and how it would kill the V6's....   Me telling him my Stepside bed was rusted out so I was…
