“About the thickness of a dime will get it started in a pinch.” as the old timer who taught me how to do them told me when we couldn’t find the gap spec for the ‘58 Chevy Apache we were working on. I had a dime in my pocket, we gapped the points with it, and it fired right up. I don’t think I’ll ever forget using a…

I’m 31, and my friends bring me their old crap because I’m the youngest person they know that can clean/rebuild a carburetor and gap points...

I read just fine. I've apparently read more than you on the subject.

There is no mischaracterization. Google doesn't want you to have control. Its the same reason a lot of people have to root their Android phones, Google thinks it knows what is better for EVERYONE, except that it doesn't.

You mean when, beyond the fact that Google can’t find my house? (I put in my adress, and Maps navigates to 1 mile away and tells me I have “arrived”?, beyond the fact that I drive off-road just about daily and tow a trailer 1-3 times a week?, what about the un-marked gravel parking lots I frequently park in?

She doesn't want to hear such common sense.

The Avista was the first real chance GM had at luring me away from Ford in a LOOOONNNGGG time. Oh well.

Which is exactly how I want to die.

I have an 18x6 dual-axle utility trailer and a 4x8 single axle utility trailer.

I bought a 1995 Chevrolet S10 for $2250 when I was 16. It had wreck damage down the driver’s side, but otherwise was in great shape, or so it seemed.

I’m almost cringing as I type it, because I’m thinking at the same time of all the other nice beater/project type cars $4000 would buy (V8 Mustang from 1975-1999, 4th-gen LT1 F-body, etc.), but Nice Price all the way. I hate FWD, but I really like these old Hondas, and I seriously doubt I’ll ever see another this…

Your argument is essentially the same argument I talked myself into a Mustang II with. (Substitute “musclecar” for “off-roader” more or less.)

The other big fan-made projects weren’t trying to fund a studio, paying themselves salaries, and in the case of both “Of Gods and Men/Renegades” and “Continues” they took what they were doing to Paramount ahead of time, and Paramount’s people looked it over and and essentially said, “we’re not interested in making…

Dear God, WHY????

If I weren’t a Ford guy, this news would be Pearson my heart. As it is, I’m really Hamlin it up with my Chevy friends about this switch. They’re really Biffled by it, and Kasey why it’s so Wise. They’re really Sorenson about it, but SHR and Ford already signed it, so they’ll just have to get used to it being Truex.

2010 is the same as 2005-2009 other than minor suspension changes, the bodywork, and minor interior parts.

I’ve owned 2 of them, a 2010 Mustang GT 5spd that I thrashed relentlessly for 14 months that never cried uncle, and a 2009 GT/CS 5spd that I babied that spent more time on lifts in Ford dealership service departments than it did on the road. So in my ownership experience, only 50% of them are crap.

The last several weeks lately, it’s like he’s done scraping the bottom of the barrel and decided to turn it over and start digging into the dirt it sat on. I think I’ve voted “NP” on one car in the past several weeks, they’ve all been junk, not worth it, or just awful.

There honestly aren’t very many of them. I grew up here and never paid a toll (or saw family do it) until I was 20, and that was when I was in Oklahoma.

Horses are expensive, I’m switching to bicycle, where I still have manual steering, a manual transmission, and no power brakes!
