    I want a Challenger

    A couple weeks before my wife was killed in a crash on her way to work last year, she put this order in with a local Dodge dealership. I had to cancel the order, but it would have been an awesome car. This would have been her daily driver.

    Repurposing Sears and other retail sites

    The Sears that closed near me is still vacant. There are 3 Kmarts that closed near me. One was turned into a mega-church, one is now a health club, and the third was split up with about half of it now being an Auto Zone "hub" location that's open 24 hours and the rest is several smaller retail...

    737 max... what now?

    crazy granny gear spotted

    I bought a Cannondale Jekyll 4 27.5 a couple months ago. It's 1x11 with a 30 up front and 11-46 on the cassette. This bike is a ton of fun, but with my skills I'll never use it to its potential. I found a nice closeout deal on this one that was leftover from last year...

    How & Where to buy a "Roach Coach"?

    "Roach coach" around here usually refers to the guys that come around selling sandwiches and other stuff, usually around lunch time. Most of these are built on a pickup truck, where a food truck is a mobile kitchen and is usually built out of an old delivery truck.

    Anybody else terrible at home repairs?

    Once you're finished with all of these things, you can expect the tax assessor to show up and say these required improvements have increased the property value so your taxes will be going up.

    Uber/Lyft Destroyed The Taxi Industry.

    Uber and Lyft didn't destroy the taxi industry, the taxi industry was complacent and failed to compete. Sears was once the undisputed king of mail order. If anyone could have become what Amazon is today, it was Sears. They were complacent and didn't address the competition from Amazon until it...

    Amazon (used) Parts

    I bought a receiver hitch for my truck that was listed as used good condition. Packaging was a bit damaged, but nothing wrong with the hitch itself. It was brand new, not used at all.

    Late model old tech

    Ford's new 7.3L gasser is a good old fashioned iron block pushrod V-8, although it is paired with a 10 speed transmission. www.roadandtrack.com/new-cars/car-technology/amp26306469/ford-super-duty-73-v8-engine-details-specs/

    RVers Check In!

    I have a 2009 Inferno toy hauler. Picked it up last summer for $10K. It's technically only a 19 footer, but it can sleep 6 people and can haul 2 full size ATVs or my 14 foot fishing boat on the trailer inside. Fully loaded with 2 ATVs, full 100 gallon fresh water tank, and 30 gallon fuel tank...

    Hyundai/Kia and Toyota OEM Filters now at Walmart

    Just noticed these. They weren't on the shelf last time I was here. I looked back and didn't see anything so I figured it was worth a post.

    What is the best way to get rid of a squirrel?

    These are quite effective against squirrels. As long as you can find rocks laying around, ammo is free.

    Smith & Wesson M&P15-22 CONSUMER SAFETY ALERT

    I have a brand new one that I haven't even fired yet. I heard about this last week and I was going to ask my LGS about it, but I guess I'll just order that tool so I can check it myself.

    6.2 f250 6.4 ram 2500 towing with a gasser

    Not sure how soon you're planning on buying something, but the coming 2020 Fords will have the new 7.3L gas engine. Of course there may be a little risk in being an early adopter of a brand new engine, but everything I've seen so far points to it being a beast of an engine. They're going back to...

    Echo (PAS) - Good, Bad, Other?

    I have the PAS-225 and I love it. I was really surprised at how much power it has even though it's only 21cc. I don't have the hedge trimmer though. Mine came with the straight shaft trimmer head, and I was able to make the attachments from my old Poulan trimmer work with a little modification.

    One license plate in a Two-Plate State

    2 plates required here in MN. On a vehicle I used to have, I was issued new license plates and when I went to replace them the bracket for the front plate broke. The very next day I was stopped for no front plate. I had the new plate and the broken bracket with me, and explained that I had...
