  1. remove all warning signs and let Mr Darwin give out his awards freely!!!
  2. heated mirrors are nice in fog, or when you drive through different temp and moisture zones. here in New Jersey it is not strange to be driving in sunny cool, than drop into a valley where it is cloudy or foggy and moist. instant no see out of mirrors. they also work real good when someone slashes a bit of water up, the heat dries them out quickly.
  3. once a topic has gone offtrack, the train has left the terminal never to be seen again!!!...🤪
  4. Larry, i found the old flippy fones were 2 or 3G at best. that is why they work so good. the now stupid fones are 4 and 5 g. and the more "G"'s the make them seems the sheitier they are, and yes i know they now offer flippers again. but my new job requires that i keep the stupid fone.
  5. it was a few years ago. they did not sell any flip phones at the time. i had to stick with verizon as they were the only cell carrier that had service in some of the areas i worked.
  6. i tried explaining to verizon wireless that i work in secure facilities where no cameras or computers are allowed, and their answer was sorry we no longer offer plain phones. only stupid phones (as i call them) i see they now offer a phone only again. guess too many people complained
  7. Mom still has her OLD rotary phone. Refuses to get one of them "new fangled contraptions" she is 93 and set in her ways 😁
  8. I want my old flipper phone back! No it did not have internet access, but at least it worked any time I made a call. This new one I have to double check auto correct(which can't turn off), and even after double checking it stillchanges words when I hit send. Like in my comment to jo jo. It was SUPPOSED to say are You Insuniating ole blue, not are toy insinuating
  9. They did water pump and new exhaust on mine at 63,000 miles under warranty. Didn't cost me a penny
  10. are toy trying to insinuate "ol blue" keeps your mechanic skill on top of their game?
  11. i have had my "new" phone for close to two years now, and my grand daughter is still trying to teach me how to use it. i can not master the copy paste, or scan no matter how many times she shows me. same with the laptop. people have tried for years to show me how to do a screenshot. still cant do it.
  12. onedrive only works if you have it JoJo
  13. Same here. I drive a 2018 exploder, but it is still under warranty for another 40k miles or 4 years. The two other cars and 2 of the trucks are over 45 years old, and the other two are diesels.
  14. I use carb cleaner or brake cleaner to check for vacuum leaks. Spray round carb base, carb gaskets, and intake and listen for change in idle. Also can't hurt to spray vacuum hoses either
  15. so true Bob. the general consensus was it went over to the sandbox as that was rite around the time everything was getting developed over there and they were buying everything they could for top dollar even if they were just parts trucks.
  16. $225 per hour here in jersey. and if the computer can not tell them what is wrong, they can not fix it.
  17. an old timer many many many years ago(around 45) retired and needed something ot do to keep from killing his wife. so he bought an autocar tandem dump.....with a 903 in it backed by a 13 speed trans. dark brown with gold flake paint, and an aluminum body that looked like a mirror. it was garage kept. never went out in the rain, and was washed each night before being backed into the garage. Mr Lang had most of the engine chrome plated too. that truck was a head turned where ever it went. no one ever knew what happened to it after he passed away, and it was never seen again.
  18. best part was they were claiming outrageous prices for "lost belongings" it was all secondhand junk from the goodwill store. they are "professional renters" (scam artists) that know how to play the game... Ted took video of everything in the house before the excavator crunched it up and loaded it into the bump trailers.
  19. regular went up 55 cents between monday and friday
  20. looks like he no longer has pictures on the site.
  21. my friend went through the same crap for the past 6 months with the rental house three away from his, and one two towns away he inherited after his uncle passed away last year. the one on his street he is knocking down to build a new house for his son. the POS "renters" have not paid a penny in 6 months since getting the 3 month leave notice. they tried everything. he had the sheriff serve papers on them to be out by 3-30-24. they told the sheriff to eff off, we know our rites and are not leaving. what they did not read in the eviction order was that it was a demolition eviction, and that on 4-1-24 the house was being demolished. they left for wherever they went during the day to come "home" to an empty lot. called the cops to complain and were told you were ordered to leave. you didn't. not our problem. they tried to sue for lost belongings and were told by lawyers you do not have a leg to stand on. the house two towns away is close to the same, two tenants have not paid in almost a year since his uncle passed. he has the city housing inspector coming monday to do an inspection, and fully knows they will be forcefully removed tuesday morning as the house will not pass inspection for rental property as it has lead paint throughout, improper staircase width and a few other things.
  22. i very rarely use timing marks because they either are unreadable, or simply not there. i time by ear. advance a touch and go for a ride. if it don't ping under full throttle, advance a little more. i keep advancing until i get ping under full throttle, than back off a bit. that usually gives me most power, and still spin over good for starting hot.
  23. for ;points elimination, you really can not beat the pertronix ignitor. uses the factory distributor, cap, and rotor. all you need to do is remove the points, put the pickup in their place, slip the magnet over the distributor shaft under the rotor, and run the two wires out to the coil. after install i usually open the plug gap up a little, and advance timing around 4-5 degrees.
  24. you aint paid to think, you are paid to fix the damn engine!!! 🤣
