    Firearm and Ammo of choice

    I work in Hagerstown. I've had good luck with MD Arsenal at I70 and route 40. Nice guys, good selection, and a nice indoor range.

    Firearm and Ammo of choice

    I have holsters from alien gear (XD-s) and crossbreed (hellcat). Alien is a little bulkier, but the kydex is about twice as thick. I've cracked 2 crossbreeds, but they replace them with no hassle at all. I've also made my own, when I had a light on the hellcat. It wasn't hard. But now I have a...

    We went from summer to winter in a couple of weeks.

    Was in the 40s here (MD). Nearly 80 the last couple days. As I type (11:29pm) it's 68 on my patio and my windows are open. I'd actually like it to stay cold. I still have to cut open walls in the rental I'm renovating, and last time I worked on the back wall....yellow jacket nest. I prefer...

    69 70 charger tail light bezels

    69's have split trim on the taillights, like the split grille. One chrome "ring" around each taillight. 70s have a hoop around both lights, like the hoop front bumper. The rectangle reflectors were a mid-year change due to DOT regs changing. My survivor has the single hoop around both lights...

    I Am Really Messed Up...

    Nope. Farmers were actually opposed to it (see comments above about dogs being on a set schedule - then think about hundreds of farm animals). It came from a couple things: 1- railroads. Efficient railroads meant we needed to consolidate national time zones from the hundreds, down to the current...

    Your phone is listening . . .

    There's a reason these services (facebook, google, alexa, amazon) are "free" - it's because YOU are the product. The closest thing I have to a "connected" appliance is a wifi thermostat. But I've turned off all the "follow me" features, so if it got hacked, nobody would know if rooms were...

    Anyone in Lubbock, TX? College kid in need...

    So, my stepdaughter is at Tech. She's got her 250k mile '08 Dakota V6 six speed manual extended cab, and it's getting...janky. Last it was here, I put a clutch in it because the disc grenaded. Did everything - disc, plate, bearing, hydraulics. Trans has started jumping out of gear, getting hard...

    First road rash

    Driving my (then) brand new 2014 Grand Cherokee home from the dealer, I got stuck behind a landscape trailer that wasn't tarped. Hit a bump, gravel EVERYWHERE. Chips in the fascia, bumper, hood, both fenders, windshield, roof, and both door A-pillars. Called the company on the signs on the truck...

    Corvette ZR1 Top Speed Announcement

    I'd drive a C2...but that's about the only TupperCar I'd want. If I need that kind of speed I have a 160hp motorcycle that weighs 370 lbs wet. 0-100 in about 2 sec and back to zero in about twice that. I'm good. That said...it's impressive enough. Just not for me.

    What's you favorite gear ratio for the street?

    3.23. Great on the highway and my wagon went 13.40s all day long with a 360 crate motor, pump gas, and street tires.

    What is the cheapest running classic car that you have bought?

    Coworker came up to me one day around 2005, "hey man I need a car out of my parking lot, my HOA is on my case. It's a Mopar, you need it ". I don't need another car. "Sure you do. How much cash is in your wallet right now?" $42. DONE. Got me a 28k mile 78 volare sedan, /6 factory air, zero...

    Florida Hurricane

    Agreed. Let's please add context - this was when it passed my mother's place in NE FL.

    Florida Hurricane

    Hurricane damage on the seashore is one thing. People whose houses are built on ******* sand dunes, is one thing. These, are people living in the mountains. This, is way out of the ordinary - and this is EXACTLY what FEMA is supposed to be for. California fires? Preventable or at least able to...

    Only one new post today?

    I had a blank box where you type messages. No bold, italic, smiley...no cursor. Phone, and 4 laptops with 3 browsers. I thought I pissed someone off and got banned! Then I noticed the super low post counts and figured something was up. Glad you got it fixed!

    Replacing Furnace

    One important question I haven't seen here is, how well insulated is the house? I'm on the windward side of a mountain in Maryland. Winters are typically below freezing for extended periods of time, with quite a few days/weeks in single digits, and a constant breeze/wind (my porch American flag...

    Aftermarket cruise?

    So, this is for my Wrangler but the aftermarket "universal" kits could work on our B's as well, so I figured I'd ask - anyone ever install one on a car? I'm looking at a Rostra kit for my Wrangler. Looks pretty straighforward - has DIP switches for number of cylinders and other settings, it...

    Feeding a wire through firewall

    Find any rubber grommet. Un-bend a metal coat hangar so you have a long "poke-tool". Tape the wire to one end of the hangar so it won't come off when you shove it through the grommet. Poke hole with coat hangar (make sure not to nick any wires), and push it into the engine bay until you can...

    Florida Hurricane

    Got a text from Mom in St Augustine (NE corner, just under Jax). Disclaimer - she grew up in Miami in the '30s, so her view of hurricanes is...jaded. "Thank God - we have been spared Helena!" If it had been a REAL hurricane...she and her friends (all high-octogenarians) would have simply gone...
