Got a ticket in Kansas City, MO for 19 over (on I-70 in downtown where the speed limit goes from 45 to 55, I was at 64 on a very early Sunday morning with no traffic coming out of the 45). I didn’t want any points on the license to increase my insurance premiums, so I researched what my options are. I found that if I…

80’s on 8, 90’s on 9, Classic Rewind, Lithium, Octane and Liquid Metal

I was looking at buying a car from a guy a couple years ago. I said I was a ready buyer and asked if he had the title. He said he'd dig it out. He called me back a bit later and said that his title still showed the lien but he had the lien release. I told the guy that without a clean title I was not interested in the…

Kansas has e-titles but we can go apply for a paper copy with a lien release. As soon as I get the release, I can swing by the title office and have a hard copy in less than 30 minutes.

Had the chance to buy the sedan version of this exact car a couple years ago with half the miles and half the price. I kinda wish I had bought it. This is a nice car but way too much for $7k. CP

Very much so. My CDL test was in a 30’ straight truck with a 20’ trailer. I practiced long with that combo but would have been a much easier test with a short truck/long trailer combo. But, it was the only truck I could borrow that was close to legal. I passed the first time, though!

When I bought my first trailer (6 1/2x10’ single axle) to haul a small ATV sized toy on, I just left that thing on the back of my Ford Ranger to make me learn how to drive with it and back it. I thin I towed that sucker around for a month straight so I could get used to it in every situation. It helped immensely as I…

Ok, so I’d like to get a bike helmet but I have yet to find one that fits at all. I have a large noggin. I can wear “some” size 8 fitted ball caps but not all are made the same size. I’d say I’m closer to 8 1/8. The one size fits most always excludes me. Does someone make a super sized one anywhere? I’ve tried several…

A million times your million times. I had the guts to remove, tear into and replace the pump in the transfer case of my ‘06 Chevy Silverado 2500HD to fix a factory defect because of the great people on forums taking the time to photo their work and post it online for others to learn from. It took me 12 hours over 2…

My first car was a copper colored ‘82 98 Regency. That thing was a boat and even with a V8, it was a dog. I think it got somewhere in the neighborhood of 8mpg.

Tigershark sounds like the name of a Peewee sorts team.

At my wedding, we pre set a playlist of music we had on my iPad (and iPhone and another iPad just in case a device failed), set it to shuffle the music and then borrowed a pair of speakers and stands from a friend who works for a traveling stage company (think big stages for big name concerts). Total spent on music?…

If I had to go through life and the choice was either no cheesecake or diabetes, I’d be like “hook up the insulin drip!”

You aren’t far off from the truth. On election night, I watched the results come in. I was thrilled when it showed the counties from large cities (Kansas City, Lawrence, Topeka and Witchita) resoundinly vote against Brownback. Then the results from the rural areas rolled in and he pulled out a win. Schools are having…

So, at the end of Back to the Future where Doc Brown said “where we’re going, we don’t need roads.” Was he referring to Michigan?

TK421, why aren't you at your post?

I ran into the same problem once after I bought a CJ-7 from a friend of a friend. The Jeep was kind of a basket case that had been in an accident. No body damage, but the front axle needed reattaching and the transmission was a bit jacked around. Well, I had the title and wanted to get it in my name. In order to do…

I have one of these. I like it a lot. Easy to carry, has a few more features than a basic knife. I also have one of the knife-less versions for places that don't allow blades at all.

This is great! It would work great in my garage as space is at a bit of a premium. I built the collapsible work bench posted a while back but it takes work to unpack and assemble. This looks so much easier. When I need to work on a project, just roll the cars out of the garage, fold down the work bench and then get to…

Sign me up, too! I’m currently in an ‘09 Jetta TDi 6MT and am looking forward to the new GSW Alltrack. I’m hoping they do a powerful diesel with the manual but I’m kinda doubting they will. As for diesel price, I’m pretty lucky. Living in Kansas, diesel is only a 25 cent premium over regular.
