    Ladder safety month is coming up, just a reminder. OUCH

    1) I used a 2-footer [call it a kitchen step ladder, if you want] to reach a common outside light. My neighbor across the street was looking at me with a motionless, ghosty weirdness. When I was done, I walked over to him, still in his trance, and said, "Hi Larry, howzit goin'?" He said, "My...

    2013 Fiesta manual drain plug?

    Thanks for posting. Vid 1 should've been 60 seconds. Vid 2 should've been shot with a steady hand.

    Opinion wanted on this torque wrench

    Anyone notice that the scale goes positive AND negative? I'd guess earlier than the '80's....and I love the crystal-protecting shrouds.

    Have you experienced recycling of oil over there? Is it facilitated or cumbersome?

    What are you eating right now?

    We had a scattered household today. Mrs. Kira attended a bridal shower in a restaurant so I wolved a nectarine and cottage cheese. I'm keeping the carbs low and seeing success.

    Hey Texas! New bridge in Corpus is finally open

    Thanks for the news....always cool when a bridge opens. However, that "report" was beyond lame. He spoke like a totally awesome child, gave no facts at all and the camera work was lacking.

    AMC Pacer

    AMC Pacer...designed wide and funky with a Wankel engine from GM....which couldn't be produced satisfactorily (bad seals etc.). AMC put the 6 in there at the last minute. You can't remove the valve cover because the engine bay was designed for the Wankel. You can't make this stuff up.

    Thread for photos that 100% do not violate any Terms Of Service, not political, not too lewd, no gas price pics etc.

    Re restaurant closures: Also keep in mind the surprising (to me, anyway) rise in food deliveries. I, personally, cannot condone or patronize a practice which generates so much packaging waste. Good thing I like to cook. Add in rent gouging, food purveyors' price gouging, additional costs of the...

    AGAIN...what's the 'best' engine oil for me?

    "That crummy font' is ..... Times New Roman.. ..... sans-serif Arial type face that's default....have small horizontal stubs that allow one to see easier....than this Arial." Give me Helvetica, or give me death.

    Deleting pan filter in favour of inline on cooler circuit

    Yes. And if you've broken a few trannie filters apart, you've seen there are plainly woven elements and others with a 'wave-to-the-weave' and accent lines. Being a sheer fabric, I think BITOGers' wives would take to lingerie made of the stuff. Imagine her surprise...

    AGAIN...what's the 'best' engine oil for me?

    A leftover or a ...used car? How many miles on it? Best of luck with it. In that heat, maybe Raptors should have auxiliary coolers, one for oil and one for transmission fluid?

    hit and run damage

    Maybe you were already considering selling it. You don't want to make a rash decision so soon after being hit. This is akin to imploring widows not to sign anything or move etc. immediately after the death. My neighbor had an inaugural Plymouth Road Runner and a Plymouth Fury III (with all...

    Plastic grille crack fix, weld, glue or ???

    Totally agree with dishdude...however, if you have access to the back of it and it'll accept a splint, you could close the crack, hold it and glue from the back. You'd still have a crack. but it would be smaller less noticeable. I can hear my dear mom saying, "A repair can look worse than...

    New Trader Joe’s opens across the street from existing location. Both staying open.

    In cases of multiple, proximal gas stations of the same brand, I'd like to know the history of the sites-specifically, if the stations involved went through tank upgrading. If one company in one region had an easy time reoutfitting and made the 'town council' happy, wouldn't that serve to align...

    fiber washer vs metal crush washer

    As has been noted, this isn't the first time ODP washers has come up. There are aluminum, copper, fiber, the topic Toyota ones, the 'rubber insert in a metal washer' style (GM?), the large flange with the recessed, built in plastic section (Ford?), the 'folded' Subaru style and those seemingly...

    I was in the wrong and I don't care.

    Post #31 (the clean air snorkel) They're good if you accidentally shot your vehicle whilst bird hunting. Use the hole...cheaper than bodywork.

    When to do first ATF drain/fill?

    If you're taking a vote..... Do it after your return. Settle on a mileage (20k, 30k...whatever) after your return. While "a couple of weeks" is long enough to ensure you did everything right, there's no need to complicate your long trip prep. Are you referring to a turbocharger?
