I used to have a cat that would steal chunks of sweet potato off my plate when I was eating dinner. You never know. Heck, I have a RABBIT that will try to eat the cat's WET food - straight up meat and fish bits - if we put it within reach of her.

Won't be long before the gasoline starts to melt that bag and fwooooosh.

1 - Brick and mortar tire shops have a limited inventory. Discount Tire Direct / Tire Rack / etc.. generally work out of one or more warehouses/distribution centers. Even if both carry the exact same lineup of tires, odds are fairly good that the brick and mortar DT near me will not have a set...

Originally Posted by Blkstanger Nice! I hope the 2.5 Duratec in my Escape goes that far. They certainly can. Note the mileage on my 2010 Fusion (also with the 2.5) when I sold it. 7.5k OCIs.

Wow.. those numbers are... staggering.. and that's AFTER one previous D&F? Holy smokes! If it were my car, I'd definitely do another D&F after running the current fill for a few hundred to a thousand miles or so. You want the new stuff to circulate for a while to make sure it's fully distributed.

If you do a complete drain and flush on your cooling system prior to filling, then it won't really matter which you use, as long as it is an Asian P-OAT of some kind. Ideally, get one at full strength rather than the 50/50 pre-diluted stuff, since you'll have some water left in your system after...

If it's unable to load/read the one .dll file, then my first thought would be a problem with the XP CD. If it were the drive, I'd expect errors with other files, and at random points. If you have access to another one, I'd try using that.

Because the 'truck' looks like a Delorean had sex with one of the trucks from Mad Max and this was the outcome. Everyone thinks it's stupid or a joke. My theory? Musk has lost it and is now just thinking "I'm super rich. Time to make the most outlandish and ludicrous thing I can and see if...

I have way too much data to do an online backup. I use a local external hard drive, in addition to my RAID setup

Looks great... exactly like I'd expect an FL910s to look after 8k miles.

I bought this one for mine: Rexing Mini-USB Hardwire Kit

Every Thanksgiving, I start the turkey in my smoker and then move it to the oven to finish. It gets between 2 and 2.5 hours in the smoker, usually with pecan or apple wood for the smoke. Turns out so good.
