I do all my own work. Always have, likely always will as long as I'm physically able. I've had nothing but bad experiences with dealers. Thankfully, my truck (2005 Dodge RAM dually diesel) is bloody simple to work on and totally reliable. The only thing it's needed in ten years and 102k miles is a pressure valve…

The whole point is that "speeding" is just a social term invented by government. Speed isn't the be-all, end-all of driving. Reasonable and Prudent should be the speed. There's absolutely no reason to try to force everybody to go the same speed. Teach common courtesy and lane discipline, and things will work out…

I had a 2014 F-150 XLT EcoBoost (3.5) as a rental for about a week. It was a pretty nice truck. The seats were super comfy. The "MySync" stereo sucked; could NOT get my phone to play music through it. The transmission was decent, the motor had outstanding power in normal driving. The only time I was disappointed…

I was thinking about a reborn Airwolf using this as the model.

I had all six tires on my 5th wheel RV (triple axle) delaminate on its first real trip... the tread literally came completely off the tire, leaving nothing but a "balloon" in its place (which still held air). These were Carlisle brand D-load-rated tires. I replaced them with six new Carlisle (the only brand I could…

I don't care how much you make; speeding tickets are nothing but revenue generation in the first place, so extorting $60k from somebody for that reason is extortion. If I were him, I'd leave the country and take my money elsewhere, and refuse to pay it.

I worked as a programmer for a good-sized company in SoCal a couple of years ago as a contractor... let's just say they're well-known for dealing with maps and stuff.

It's always amusing reading the ignorant rantings of the anti-splitting crowd, even if those ranting claim to be motorcycle riders. The whole reason I started riding was to be able to split lanes. It's the best way to get around. It makes total sense, and it doesn't take long to get used to it. If you just can't…

When Subaru brings back the WRX and STI 5-door models, I'll care again. AND when they offer manual transmissions across the line like they used to. Until then, meh.

And I'm sure it'll only come with an automatic. So... yawn.

Nobody has mentioned it yet, so I will... 6000 SUX. :)

There are a lot of these used to tow larger 5th wheel RVs. These are always converted to a single rear axle though... thought it had something to do with how it's registered. The mpg is the main thing that would turn me off on one (plus the unsynchronized tranny). I like the 6sp manual in my Cummins Dodge RAM but…

And this is one of the many reasons I say cops suck. This guy should be off the road, period.

The guy's definitely a douchebag. But while we're on the topic, I'll go on to say I think there are FAR too many handicapped spaces out there, and WAAAAY too many handicapped placards issued.

Maybe after this trip, you should try to find one of the highest-mileage Crown Vics out there. I've read stories that many of them top 400k miles, being used as Taxis among other things. Or go even more general and just find the highest-mileage ANYTHING... see how high it'll go. Except that even the new digital…

The issue I see here is the idiot in the black car (Kia?) wasn't paying attention and had a freak-out moment. Of course, it didn't help at all that the Revenue Enhancement Patrol was hard at work ripping off the public. Were they not there in the first place, this wouldn't have happened.

I love the Hellcat, but I agree... I wouldn't own one. I'd rather have a Camaro ZL1 (or better yet, wait for the next ZL1), or a C7, or any number of other cars for the same or less money. I don't need to be the fastest one at the drag strip, since I don't GO to the drag strip.

Speaking of idiot dealers.. when I bought my 2005 Dodge RAM 3500 back in 2007, a couple weeks later, the A/C started acting up. The compressor wasn't coming on consistently. The dealer spent a full day diagnosing it (I had an extended warranty) and concluded that it was some component that required removal of the…

Roberts is such a dweeb. The guy needs to be impeached. He may have never been pulled over in a traffic stop, but he's done SOMETHING because it was enough for him to be blackmailed in order to get him to switch his vote on the constitutionality of Obamacare.

And even the "free" DLC they gave us for appeasement had major issues. Bottom line... everything about Unity sucks.
