I did for my mother. I thought she deserved something much more personal than the generic effluvia normally let lose in such circumstances. I had a good deal of warning, so I was able to consider it carefully.

The official filter for a Vortec 5.7 is a Delco 1218. I believe this is the same as the PS5, PS30, etc series, except one has an antidrainback valve and one doesn't (probably due to the roller lifters).

I used them exclusively for twenty five years on mid-size cars and trucks. The ride was perfect for my taste, a little stiff at first, but to me they get perfect quickly. I had one pair that got a little lazy after 100K, but the warranty took care of that. My current vehicles are newer and don't...

Comet?

I agree on Gone Girl. At the time I saw it, my wife was exhibiting very similar behaviors. Extremely chilling.

An only slightly exaggerated description... And to the remark about the traffic, the lots are generally big enough to allow better flow than your typical smaller station.

I own toe-plates and have been setting toe using tape measures for over fifty years. The way it was done before toe plates was to scribe the tires, and then measure on each side using the same tape. The Longacre device shown above is the modern equivalent. The disadvantage of plates is that...

I have a friend who is a biker, used to own a biker bar, and had friends and road with a similar (or perhaps the same) organization. He also had friends in law enforcement, some of whom had motorcycles. He went to parties for both, and was asked to affiliate more closely with both. He said the...

Compared to yours, not that often. The first three years it was hardly ever opened. The last three years there's been a trip a month with several openings each.

My MX4 has sat totally exposed to the Texas sun for six years, and other than fading, still works correctly. It leaks some, but I pretty well expected that. The latches work fine.

The way scrap places operate can vary widely. The best I've been to has various stations where you drop off the various metals and they will further segregate and pay you for them appropriately. At the worst one they had a guy who looked at your load, maybe did a little probing, and offered you...
