    Thanks for that move. What about options for us to move the other distracting items from the sidebar? Alex.

    Which car has the coldest AC?

    What car has the coldest a/c? The vehicle that got the most attention on the assembly line. =-) My previous 2005 Express cargo van would freeze your toes off on low setting within a couple blocks. Was great when I was doing short city hops between service calls. It literally was a meat locker...

    The joys of dealing with dealerships

    Quote: If the car gets into an accident and that door gets replaced, there has to be a way to order a new one! None that I know about. If a door gets replaced, the sticker goes away with the old door. If you want it, you better make sure you ask for your old door or the section of door with...

    North America vs. Anywhere Else Viscosities

    What I read between the lines: Run what you want, it makes little difference. Does a euro spec engine with 15w60 do any different over its lifetime than the very same engine here with 5w30/20? How many miles are they getting out of the engine before failures that affect its operation? Are we...

    Shell's sale of flush oil

    Sounds like the magazine went all chicken little on that topic. So what if its a mix of 5w30 and 10w30? Its not as if you end up with 20w50 in a 0w20 bottle. What an end buyer does with the product is up to them to see that it meets specs of what it is eventually sold as. Alex.

    Car GPS

    Quote: Only once in a blazing snow storm(6"+ on roads) I needed one in backwoods of VT going to a ski mountain. Do they work well in heavy weather conditions? Works quite well. During low visibility situations it can be used to give you a heads up to upcoming cross streets and be extra...

    Extra bar on the side

    Too distracting on the left side. If it needs to be displayed, put it at the top or bottom as typical with ubb layouts. My eyes don't like this one bit, feels like I'm going cross-eyed. Alex.

    My O-Ring Swelling Test

    Nice comparison. Any plans to add a control, dino oil soaked o-ring? Alex.

    Solid advice from a Jeep forum...

    Quote: Okay dumb question: What is a Flat Tappet Engine? Flat Tappets are lifters that ride directly on the camshaft. Or more correctly, slide across the lobes. Roller Tappets have rollers that roll along the cam lobes. Roller on the left, flat on the right; Flat tappets riding on a cam...

    A Question to Police officers?

    Quote: Just kids, most likely. And I doubt that you were targeted individually. Probably, BUT, the kids don't need to be part of any recognized group. Might be as simple as the seeds of a neighbourhood gang budding. May be a single individual. It still needs to be reported. The cops will...
