  1. So somewhere in the middle of page 2 this thread went off track. Middle of page 3 the long standing members here started bashing the members that don't post often (there may be a correlation between the two, but who knows). Now it is borderline personal against the OP, who asked a simple question. You guys are awesome (did the sarcasm come across) I see no further use for this thread...locked.
  2. Northern Snakehead.
  3. Somewhere on the site is a rather extensive Members Faces thread, but maybe it is worthwhile to have an updated one from time to time. Here is one from last year, doing something I really enjoy.
  4. It has only happened to me one time and it fixed itself the next time I logged in. There are a lot of different phones, tablets, computers, internet providers, switching hubs, satellites, etc.. out there. Each with it's own batch of settings and security features that can be modified. Imagine having to make something that works exactly the same for everyone out there using any combination of these devices. We have looked into this multiple times on our end and Dave has put in tickets with the vendor. There is not a lot we can do on our end to fix this. Truth is, your personalized settings (or that of any number of devices between our server and you) may be the cause of the problem. We have no way of knowing what causes this or what makes it go away on it's own. I understand it is an inconvenience to have to click one or two more times to get to where you want to go. I also understand how huge of a resource this site is to many people and how everyone wants everything to work perfectly every time they access the site. So before you get frustrated and want to leave in a huff, please keep in mind that this is a FREE site, staffed by a very small number of volunteers who continue to do their best to address every concern/complaint you bring to our attention. Sometimes we can't fix it.
  5. They will call you back next week and offer you more money.
  6. I think I got it all.
  7. When I was racing R/C cars in the 90's, I would make my own. I would use an electric eraser with a soft eraser. It was a bit tedious though when doing large sections. I was also doing this on actual aluminum blocks and not on foil.
  8. We generally leave the technical issues to Dave. Have you messaged him with the problem? He doesn't login as often as he used to, has his hands full with the magazine.
  9. It is poor practice to post photos in someone else's thread, but not against the rules. Members have different thresholds for what they consider constitutes hijacking a thread. Moderators step in when the OP brings it to our attention or when other members just can't resist the opportunity to throw out personal attacks.
  10. Lets try and stay on topic please. Hate to start hiding posts that continue to jump the rails. Go to General and start a new thread if you want to go in a different direction.
  11. There is a 2-week limit for editing.
  12. Hmmm, wonder what I could get for my 2019 F350. It has 4,200 miles on it.
  13. I think he has decent skills, but it always seems like one of the other voices in his head takes over halfway through whatever he is working on.
  14. I like Graveyard Cars. You get a lot of Mopar history from that show. Never met the guy, but my guess is that he plays an over the top version of himself on that show. I feel that he likes to let everyone know how knowledgeable he is about the vehicles he works on. From what I see on the show, it looks like they do exceptional restorations. I like the restorations more than the customs, but I feel that most of the customs that Dave Kindig builds are at least engineered to be driven. To build a 1970's unibody car from the frame rails up, from individual parts, is quite the achievement.
  15. I have gone through and read most of these. Most aren't even funny, they are cartoons that align with a certain point of view. I think this thread reached the end of it's usefulness months ago.
  16. It all depends on where you click. Click the quote box, hit delete will delete the whole box. Click at the end of the quoted text, hit delete will delete the last character. Click at the bottom right of a quoted photo(just OUTSIDE of the photo), hit delete will delete the photo. Click and drag to highlight text/photos, hit delete will delete the highlighted items. You just need to be certain where the mouse curser is. Look for it flashing/blinking.
  17. The building itself is pretty amazing. No center columns, and it is a wide building, with the ability to hang a fair amount of weight from the trusses. There is a lot of history in that building.
  18. It's a constant struggle. I will flag this so Dave can try and tweak the settings again, when he returns from vacation.
  19. I flagged this so Dave can take a look under the hood.
  20. They just represent your activity level here on the board and they are based on post counts.
  21. Revised the rules to show that discussions/photos about guns and shooting are considered political and not allowed on this site.
  22. Last warning to everyone. Gun talk is no longer allowed here. I am sure there are plenty of other places you can take that conversation to. Minimum 30 day bans from this point on.
  23. This is why I feel access to diesel will outlast the access to gas. I also expect most gas and diesel to be reserved for military use.
  24. EV will need just as many repairs as anything on the road today. Shops will just need a new skill set and certifications to work on them.
