    Tesla Introduces a Base CyberTruck for $59,999

    Awww, what a cute response that has nothing to do with modern vehicles and especially Teslas terrible quality control and other issues. Even then, I've seen Teslas with worse build quality than my 89 Camaro had. And if you want to pretend 90s Fbodies had bad build quality, you really need to...

    Real Life Lithium Jump pack stories

    For a lead-acid SLA battery? You can get them pretty cheaply from Amazon, usually in the $10-30 depending on size. I've replaced numerous ones over the years in both old jumper packs and UPS devices that use lead-acid. You can test them just like a car battery if you have a tester that goes...

    Dealer Documentation Fees

    This is why I always do out the door pricing. They can arrange the numbers anyway they want on their sheet, if it isn't the price I agreed to when I go to sign the paperwork, they are either changing it or I'm walking out the door. Until you sign the paperwork you can walk anytime you like...

    Tesla Introduces a Base CyberTruck for $59,999

    Its amazing that anyone would buy this pathetic excuse for a vehicle. But I've said it plenty of times that Elmo is the worlds greatest con artist, so I guess he will find someone to buy his garbage somewhere.

    Tell me about your Quickjacks

    I have a 7000SLX with all the extra accessories, like the extensions for longer vehicles, the crossbar adapter for any vehicles with different lifting points, and the various blocks for all the types of lift points (regular, pinch weld, and truck) for a few years now. Probably ones of the best...

    Types of Auto Repair Customers

    Yeah, I knew better than to do that. I always made them bring me the PC and I told them they would get it back when I was done. If they didn't like it, find someone else. Told them the price beforehand, if they didn't like it, find someone else. Friends, family, friends of friends, didn't...

    Types of Auto Repair Customers

    Yes, its amazing what people will think is a "fair" price for things. I used to do a lot of PC saves back in the day before smartphones took over. Someone screws up their PC somehow, I pull all the files they need off it, reimage it with whatever Windows it had on it at the time, and get it...

    Types of Auto Repair Customers

    The customer is almost never right. The majority of time the customer is an idiot who has no clue what he/she is talking about. Especially in retail, service, and the IT world.

    What's The worst Auto Accident You Have Been Involved With?

    Hit a deer doing 70MPH on the interstate. 11am in the morning, in my work van driving from Champaign to Bloomington. Doe comes out of the tall grass in the middle of the interstate divide, the only thing I have time to do is think "Well, I'm hitting that" although their were some other words I...

    GM Passlock '98 Sunfire

    Yeah I tried just turning VATS off first with my Tunercat OBD2 but it didn't work. Still wouldn't let the truck start without added the bypass module. And it was a pain to get installed as the PK2 box is up under the dash where it is almost impossible to get to. I just managed to get enough...

    GM Passlock '98 Sunfire

    No one stole these cars when they were new and they aren't being stolen now. That said, just bypass it. I've had to do multiple passkey bypasses over the years, the early PK1 seems to fail eventually no matter what. At least they were very easy to bypass with some simple rewiring and...

    Did they get rid of normal DOT3 ?

    Standard DOT3 is a synthetic fluid. Just because they add the word synthetic doesn't change the fact that all DOT3 fluids were synthetic to begin with.

    4.6L Intake Manifold heater core nipple Broke?

    Yeah this one is definitely a pain but you can get it without pulling the cowl off. Seems like Ford wanted to add as much stuff as possible on top of the manifold so you couldn't get it off without pulling everything. I also remember some bracket around the throttle body also being a pain to...

    4.6L Intake Manifold heater core nipple Broke?

    I did the intake manifold on a 2000 Crown Vic a few years back. It isn't a terrible job, just takes some time to get the old one off and the new one on. Issue with the pre-03 intake manifolds were that all the coolant passages were plastic, the updated manifolds they used aluminum so they...

    Quick Jack

    Sure, I don't see why not. I still have a set of ramps and jack stands in my garage as well. Especially since I sometimes have 2 vehicles up at the same time. I can only have 1 vehicle on the quickjack at a time.

    Quick Jack

    If you can't keep them in your garage all the time, I wouldn't get them. They are definitely not light but they are great compared to using a jack and 4 jack stands if you have the space in your garage. I have a 7000SLX with the long adapter for trucks/long wheelbase vehicles, all the block...

    Ok, I want a new phone....

    Just upgraded my 4 phones (myself, brother, mother, and father) to the S25. Nothing really major in difference from my old S23 but I was able to get all 4 phones for free by trading in old phones. The battery is larger in the S25 than the S23 so hopefully it will end up lasting longer than my...

    5 Month old Laptop died overnight in mid April came back to life.

    Sometimes if the battery has an issue I've had to pull them from the laptops to get it to fully reset. Even holding the power button down for 30+ seconds won't do anything. I've even had to go as far as to pull the CMOS battery as well to get some Dell laptops to reset themselves to where they...

    1995 Silverado Oxygen Sensor Oddity

    Yes. I waited to do the fluid film on mine and my brothers trucks because we really don't get much in the way of snow here in IL in Dec anymore. Well that was wrong this year to say the least. I got both trucks oil changed and the fluid film applied this morning as all the snow is gone and it...
