If this isn't cool enough, then I dunno what to tell you http://i.imgur.com/TJoRaMZ.jpg

From what I have read, they are trying to stick to actual stunts as much as they can and avoid the CGI. That alone should be worth the price of a movie ticket.

Serious modeler envy
Quick GMC replied to MustangGuy23's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I started with less than than that, on my kitchen table. Now I have a whole room for it. It comes slowly, but you can appreciate everything more when it's harder to obtain. -
Nicest one I've seen yet, beautiful!

Will GM's problems ever end?
Quick GMC replied to Harry P.'s topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
this isn't relevant to the ongoing recalls, but since this is a GM bashing thread... I have a 2006 GMC Sierra, which I like very much. Had it 8 years, was on jack stands on and off because of tranny issues (my fault). Other than that I have never done ANYTHING to this truck, except change the brake pads once, it's been pristine. Over the last 6 months I have been noticing a really mild thunk in the front end while turning through intersections. I thought it was time for shocks (75k miles), or maybe time to look at the ball joints. No big deal, I can wait until I have the money. It started getting annoying, but last week I was turning through and intersection and something popped in the column right behind the steering wheel. The steering wheel went sloppy. I could wiggle it forward and backward, like it I pushed the top of the wheel towards the windshield. After a few minutes, it went stiff and was hard to turn. took it in the next day and they took the airbag out and found the bearing that holds the top of the column had fallen apart. The bearing had a plastic race that cracked and eventually led to the failure. I notice a few times while driving the rest of that day that a bump or intersection would push the front wheels and give me improper feedback at the steering wheel, it kind of scared the BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH out of me. Anyway, they replaced the tilt housing assembly that had the two new bearings in it and the truck feels like brand new. The guy at the shop said he had never seen that before. How nice of GM to use plastic bearing parts in something like a freaking steering column. Not like that's critical part of the truck or anything. -
Because it's an acid. It eats the concrete. Not nearly as bad as some others, but it can still damage it. Depending on the concentration, it shouldn't damage it too bad.

Chrome wheel cleaner. The active ingredient is ammonium biflouride, which is the active ingredient in most rust removers.

Anyone have an English Bull Terrier?

If you're looking for a best friend to get into shennanigans with, its the perfect dog. -
Bob Downie's 2015 'Stang
Quick GMC replied to Sixx's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
You're getting your panties in a twist, right now, in this thread. I'm sorry if I sound like a jerk, but the guy made a thread to share a nice build and the first thing that was posted was whining about the mention of the other mag. it's absurd. The hobby is small enough and divided enough already, this kind of stuff doesn't help. I know it is a privilege to be on this forum and participate, and for the most part I have followed the rules, but this one kind of bothered me. I'll leave it at that. -
Anyone have an English Bull Terrier?
Quick GMC replied to JollySipper's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
I have never owned one, but have a little experience with them. They are extremely energetic and unbelievably strong for their size. They will absolutely need regular exercise, at least in their younger years. If you aren't prepared to walk them or play with them at least once a day, forget about it. If they get neglected, attention and exercise wise, they can become destructive (like any dog). They are awesome dogs though.Great companions. I have a bad habit of rough housing with my dogs. A Bull Terrier would be a good dog to wrestle around with, they are very stout. -

Quick GMC replied to Sixx's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
It's incredible what people can get their panties twisted over these days. Coexistence is necessary, competition is necessary. Friendly competition is better than whining about someone mentioning another magazine's name. What do you think would happen if both forums freely promoted each other? Do you think they would both implode, or would both flourish, with more members? Instead, we get scolded for the mere mention of them. This is the best way to divide users and drive some of them away. It's not bad business to mention the competition or even throw them a bone once in a while, it's bad business to censor posts and whine about them. -

Most of you will never have the pleasure of experiencing super glue bloom.we use super glue to fill chips in granite counters. Sometimes the accelerator will react with certain minerals and turn a bright aqua color and bloom all over the surrounding areas. We remove it with bleach and comet.

Recharge your A/C

If you have to keep recharging your air conditioning, something is wrong. -

Anyone can type anything. I like to post source links so I'm not just regurgitating words. -

Got to drive a Z06 vette this weekend!
Quick GMC replied to MsDano85gt's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
all those things do is delay the shift. It's pretty much like tow mode. on some of the higher end cars, they will actually alter fuel delivery and some other stuff, but I don't think they do on the Infiniti's The Jaguar S Type had a variable intake manifold like the old Taurus SHO and it would actually re-route the air, but in their other cars it just delayed the shift by 500 RPM. -

Need recommendation for illuminated desktop keyboard.
Quick GMC replied to Monty's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
I bought this one http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=&sku=597773&gclid=COKH-eTjlb4CFZJbfgodnEUA1A&Q=&is=REG&A=details I love it. it types very nicely with no effort at all. The lights go on and off easily when you need them too. I paid $80 for mine only to find they lowered the price a few weeks later. worth every penny IMO -
I was in vegas all week last week. It was nice compared to Palm Springs. 100 degrees and 40MPH. It doesn't seem to be letting up any time soon.

a lot of people do v8 swaps into Rangers out here. They move the firewall back. The extended cab essentially turns into a single cap, but with the same wheelbase.

What a horrible waste! Wrigley field cake tossed.

It's mostly fondant. Eat a plate full of fondant and then decided whether or not you think they should have thrown it away. It's practically inedible
