My first job at the ripe old age of 17 was selling commercial grade woodworking equipment to contractors, cabinet makers, fine woodworkers, guitar builders, etc. That can be a very tough crowd on a good day, and bringing up Saw Stop is a great way to have a bad day lol...

Been around forums for too long and saw a ton but the funniest (by far not the worst) was two guys that lived in the same town and seemed to clash fairly often on several different forums. The clashes ranged from car advice to personal attacks (girlfriends, sex life, the wife, etc.) Nothing was sacred. Anyway the two…

Pretty much any Chrysler/Mitsubishi from the mid 90’s up to this day. .. battery replacement requires removing the driver front wheel on some vehicles.. underhood fuse boxes place nearly perfectly into a spot where rainwater and road grime is almost aerodynamically forced into it.. need to fill up the oil on a V6…

I’ve been waiting for Jalo to ask this topic. A few years ago Oppo ran an article featuring vintage video of the car god himself, Jeremy Clarkson, giving high praise to the Chrysler LHS.

Last dealer tried the whole $295 glass etching game with me too. Long story short, the vin etching on my glass "is not registered" with the theft protection company because I wouldn't pay for fee. I don't know how I sleep at night.

I get it - he knows next to nothing about the truck's actual specs. Nor is the video intended to imply that he does. What strikes me wrong is his trying to make a point that old trucks were built tough, but at the same time, Ford had stepped it up a notch trying to compete with the Ram - and that's where he went wrong.

Great find! Keep us updated with your progress on this fine car. She's beautiful.

Interesting. I frequently aircraft spot at KIAH (Houston - George Bush Intercontinental) and prior to the UA merger, the Continental pet-safe vans could be seen criss crossing the ramp. Never saw any left out though.

I'm not going to read all 295 replies, but to me, the answer is obvious - Dodge Caravan/Chrysler Town & Country. I can't imagine a vehicle more comfortable to puke from.

Tim is a good guy and an excellent photographer, not just of airplanes, but pretty much everything. His Flickr album is one jaw dropper after another.

My 06' F250 powerstroke for sure has three.. a PCM for the engine sensors, a FICM to tell the injectors what to do, with input from the PCM, and a TCM to tell the valve-body'less' 5R110 transmission when and how to shift.

This argument is hard to refute. Aside from being totalled in an accident, there's very few reasons to replace a vehicle, even if it needs a major component like an engine or transmission and you have to pay a mechanic to do the work because you can't, or don't have time. At the end of the day, you buy a new car…

My home spotting airport is IAH which is VERY spotter friendly. As long as you call in to airport operations and let them know where and how long you'll be spotting, you generally won't have any problems from anyone at the airport. Spotters usually get waves from the ops guys as they pass by.

Gear oil is for your hair... come on man, we all know that.

After my own personal experiences with my mother's 2002 E430 Sport, I'm very skeptical of these cars. I believe the engine and transmission are probably reliable enough, however, her's has had a laundry list of nickel and done ($100 and up, in Merc talk) issues. About 4 gas caps, broken in half by my 65 year old mom…

Not a bad idea. Worked miracles for Saturn.

Nice article. A friend of mine (specifics withheld, he was on the ramp this night) told us a story about an Air France flight that cancelled at KIAH one night. The plane was fully fueled and loaded. Upon pushback, it became clear that something wasn't right, and to make a long story short, they had to pull the plane…

This one has already ran a mid 10, but looks capable of better if it can hook. $14,000.

Salvage titles from accidents don't scare me nearly as bad as those where the car was "rebuilt" from a fire or flood. I've had first hand experience with a flood car that seemed perfect on the surface, but was full of mysterious electrical gremlins within. I ended up letting the car get towed across the scales and was…

I noticed a lot of people bringing up Tavarish's articles. He is very skilled in the trade of flipping cars, but even he will admit you don't get that way without some mechanical know-how, experience, and sometimes, just plain luck.
