Which retail stores are near you? Sounds like you have enought time to to order oil change kits online. Are air filters or wiper blades due? I too have 'warm and fuzzy' feelings for AC Delco. At one time I maintained 5 cars with the same filter number. The AC Delco ALWAYS held back a quart of...

The charm of a hole-in-the-wall find on the edge of town or the middle of nowhere isn't possible at today's scales of business. A specialized sandwich, jerky and what.....? After visiting two near Houston, relatives report the size doesn't loan to a quick "16th letters of the alphabet"...

It was a question. Why the defensive position? It looks like a big gas station with clean bathrooms (good) filled with deadly snack foods (bad) and imported retail garbage (expected). Track the quality of those brisket sandwiches for me. Remember when casinos were going to elevate our lives?

What food was served?

Had to look......I'm 375 miles from a Buc-ee's...the one in Virginia, 100 mi. west of D. C. As regional retail attractions go, I'll stick with Waffle House.

My cataract surgeries were done in chair like stations! General anesthesia...laser? I was locally anesthetised and had replacement -astigmatism correction- lenses installed.

But before you said..... Also I haven't heard that expression in decades!

Over the decades, I've settled on 30k for both. Never has either been real dirty. Also, those restriction gauges are of questionable usefullness. Members here report that the engine air filter has to be extremely clogged for the thing to move to yellow or red. Also, there aren't many flat...

I don't smell anything! ^^Stolen Joke from TAXI. Several of the characters go to a secluded, mountain cabin. At one point, Judd Hirsh says, "Guys, it's SO QUIET...you can hear yourself think" Christopher Lloyd says, "I don't hear anything".

Re point 13 in post 87 above. When the parents of my confident old friend died, one of his two siblings bought 'the house'. He took his share (1/3) and invested it in penny stocks. His high school business class and a few low-level bookkeeping jobs sure had him thinking he was smart. Later in...

Note the single conductor horn wire extending from the radiator support just ahead of the white sticker on the driver's side. No AC. The front bumper is low on the left.

"It was running when parked", ha-ha. It would be interesting to see what a cleaning and bench charge would do to it. At its age, this would have to be an entertainment project. ...clean those terminals.

I'm beginning to think these unbelievable deals are test-marketing exercises. They seem to be 'born evaporated'.

My brother took a trip down the Grand Canyon. I forget how long a trip. He said it was immeasureably beautiful and interesting. He was at Phantom Ranch when he heard about 9/11; which had occurred 3 days before. "Ahhh, some of you people are from the East? Something happened in New York...."

RELATED ANECDOTE: I had a roommate who'd quote one or two sentences and believe himself to be smart. He'd say, "Skepticism is no substitute for wisdom". However, when you consider the constant sales pitching, political lying and ego esuagement of today's communication landscape, skepticism is a...
