Really? Is this true? Tim, I'm not saying you're being dishonest - not even close - but I'd really like to see some evidence that the Texas Department of Public Safety has switched a significant number of their Highway Patrol units to Amsoil and 20,000 mile OCIs. Heck, I'd be surprised to learn...

That place has nice seat covers, and it's located right here in Houston, but it turns out they don't do covers for passenger cars. I called the guy and he told me they mainly just stick to trucks and SUVs. The Wet Okole place has some awesome seat covers! In fact, I just ordered some sample...

Very nice, thank you!!!

Hmmm....gee.....that doesn't leave me many options then, does it? If I don't go aftermarket, then what? Keep it factory? Yeah, um, you see that's the problem. I don't want to destroy my FACTORY seats. Police gear - which I happen to wear for long 8 to 16 hour shifts on a regular basis in this...

And to post it on here for the world to see! Brilliant!

] They also increased the price....by about 50%.

I'm not so concerned about looking perfect, so long as they function properly. Obviously, I want them to look halfway decent, but protecting the seats is the most important part!

Nobody on here has an aftermarket seat cover they'd like to talk about? Maybe I need to visit www.bobistheseatcoverguy.com or something.

A few thoughts: 1. If you're not happy, you absolutely need to make the leap to something different. 2. If you're a go-getter like you say, civil service jobs oftentimes suck the big ones because they seldom reward go-getters. Longevity is the key with most civil service jobs. You might be the...

Yeah, that sounds great...until you go to order your camera from another place and realize they charge $8 more for shipping than the first place. Hahahhaa.....

No offense, and I'm certainly not flaming anyone, but what's the deal with these "engine flushes" anyhow? For the life of me, I can't understand why anyone needs these things. Just change your oil and filter in a sensible time/mileage OCI and this should never be an issue. Right? Or am I wrong...

Gee, thanks! I've tried for the past 19 years or so to get that monkey scene out of my head (no pun intended), and now you've just brought it back to the forefront! I, too, remember watching that film. Most of it was too gross to watch, honestly. The monkey/restaurant/brain-eating scene stands...

Just think, with that $8 you could almost buy four quarts of Super Tech oil (taking taxes into account)!!!

ekpolk, I know you well enough to understand you were teasing. You jarheads just can't wait to get one over on us swabby-types. It's all good, my friend. I got a good laugh out of it. But I *have* cracked a few skulls with an SL-20 flashlight....but only because there was no other choice...

I'm interested in buying some aftermarket seat covers. These would be for my Chevy Impala (and possibly a set for the wife's Dodge Charger). I normally don't care for aftermarket seat covers but I really need something durable for the Impala since police duty belts tend to tear up...
