Kumbaya!

My biggest complaint was how every Sunday they'd have a full page of coupons in the Chicago Tribune, but none of the stores would honor them.

Camry. Millions and millions sold and the name still looks like a typo.

I think the novelty of having it back on the market would wear off really fast.

Interesting that the box says it's for the GM V6 (except 2.8L). That's weird, because PF47 is/was specified for a LOT of 2.8 cars. Lots of us use the longer PF52 instead, but the owner's manuals say PF47.

I agree 100%. The difference in sunrise/sunset times in June vs. December is significant. Where we place the clock is going to be a compromise no matter where we put it. People are going to complain. The system we have right now is fine with me. It takes me about two minutes to change my...

I've gotten to where I loathe work emails. All too often, if a client gets my email address he abuses it by including on every email chain wherever possible. Suddenly my inbox is filled by clients and contractors discussing the minutiae of where they are going to place the silt fence. It has...

Was he the one with the Volvo with the long-overdue timing belt and the belief that an "Italian Tune Up" will cure almost any automotive ills?

That's the guy. He's still active on Garage Journal, so who knows, maybe something happened to cause him to leave here. I recall he boasted once that he was on something like a thousand forums, so it's probably tough to keep up with all of them.

Whatever happened to the guy who'd drive cross-country and stay overnight at a motel to save fifteen bucks on shipping for various used auto parts he bought? Or the guy who'd go to war with anyone who said anything blasphemous about Toyota?

LOL I misunderstood it as he asked $58K for it and apparently got it! Quite a deal.
