I think it depends on the question. Some things may not get answered and if it is a general inquiry email, it might take a while to get an answer.

FWIW, I put the car in the driveway today to check dB of the exhaust before I try to register. I have bought some Car Chemistry inserts to try and take away the bark. The readings on the passenger side at 10 feet are as follows 850rpm - 80dB 1500rpm - 88dB 2500rpm - 90dB Reving the motor -...

Wheelwell panels painted and mounted. Waiting on some bulb seal for the body. The seal I had with this 2006 MK3 kit were toast. I bought some on Amazon so they will be here tomorow. I hope to put the body on next weekend. Geting close to getting this thing on the road!

I suppose a lot of regular Joe's, I was merely giving you a solution to the "problem" you identified. You seem to be a really good problem identifier but not much of a problem solver. You also mention this country should have never let this happen. Who or what was supposed to stop it? We...

Let's be honest with ourselves here folks. We live in a capitalist society in the US. If you think things should be manufactured here in the US, then you can spend the capital and invest in doing so. There is literally nothing stoping you from doing that. The challenge becomes the consumer...

it really is simple math and how bank and manufacturers keep people buying new. Much of our society takes a payment approach versus the save and buy approach. In order to manage the cost of those payments extending the term is a balancing act. 84 month loans are here to stay with cars getting...

For sure, fact and truth! The reality is none of us would like the price of any items if the US was completely vertically integrated. Yes, this thread is about availability and price of an item with short term supply pressure, but long term worldwide availability. I have worked in...

never done it before the pad and rotor change, I do it after. I drain the reservoir first then pump new fluid through the system from a re-filled reservoir. I start at the RR and then LR, RF, LF. Furthest from master cylinder first. Flush until fluid runs the same color as the new stuff. I...

Very economical approach. We bought a rib eye roast at Sam's last week. It was ~19lbs and ~$260. I cut a bunch of steaks out of the middle and made 2 prime rib roasts from the ends. They always turn out good. The last prime rib I did on my Weber kettle in the 13" cast iron skillet. It was...

Thanks but I'll pass with you explaining anything to me. You lost me several posts ago and continue to with comments like hockey and soccer don't have anything in common. Last I checked they are both team sports, that at times are played on a world stage where you try to outscore your...

LOL, so now you want to talk team psychology after blaming a goalie. Pick a side dude! Regardless of whatever you believe the better team won, unfortunately for the US, it was not them.

Sounds like you have a parasitic draw. Try disconnecting the battery cables for 1 week and see if it holds the charge. My cheap Menards FVP battery is on year 4 or 5, I think, and still going strong.

Man, your evidence is laughable! In the frame you can clearly see there is 1 player in white and 4 players in blue, yet is the guy in yellow's fault. The defenders were outplayed 1 on 4 and Belgium scored, but yes, you are right, it is the goalies fault. This is so typical in our society...

That is a very short-sighted outlook and opinion. If all the other countries in the world were to do this, places like China and Africa could essentially shut the world down. The US can not produce everything they need to be sustainable, it is a world market we live in, like it or not.

Did you watch the game? You are going to put all of that on 1 guy. The entire team played terrible, but yes of course it is 1 guy's fault. In team sports, you win and lose as a team. Watch Miracle and you will see a clearer picture of team sports, and that is coming from a Canadian hockey...
