Check your muffler fluid, M'aam?
Joe Handley replied to Draggon's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I believe they're also for VW too, not sure who would be so stupid to think that a flex joint gasket/seal should be called that though. -

Lol, I was wondering how that title sounded with a German Accent, or maybe while being screamed by their one time Chancelor that kinda helped VW get their start. -
Is this kit worth anything to anyone? Pontiac
Joe Handley replied to freakshow12's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
I have the Monza version of that kit, not a spectacular kit by any stretch, but I kinda want to put a ZR1 chassis under it. -
LOL, last time Mom was in the hospital for an extended stay and I was going to head over for a visit after work, I had a coworker get me a Subway Meatball Sub that I never got to eat until I got there. While trying to figure out how to reheat it, I realized that I wish I had a roll of aluminum foil and my Jeep..........then how paranoid that sounded out of context

Honestly, I think he was trying to start something with me and I wouldn't play ball. He had todrive past me when he looped the pumps and wouldn't even look at me as he passed!
-
I guess, considering all I did to do so was try to pass him then shrug my shoulders in a "what's your problem?" Manner, I don't see why a 50+ year old man would have such a road rage temper tantrums!

I managed to get my birthday off today, so I went to fill the 200 up and then take it to the shop I had the new tires put on at for a rotation (which will just be the front and back tires on each side swapping ends with each other), then will hit Buona Beef for a birthday sandwich (free with customer card :D ) On my way to the gas station, I go to go around an old GMC TopKick flat bed with a fairly young tree laying on it on a 4 lane road. I was speeding, but not by a dangerous amount over (they could easily raise the limit 5-10mph safely). As I go to pass that truck on the left, it cuts me off and I just stayed behind it since going around on the right wasn't going to be worth it at that point. As we continue on, the road cut down to two lanes and residential, then the driver starts dropping below the limit (a sensible 30mph limit). Not knowing why, I just hung back and let him do what ever. We got to the corner the station was on and both happened to pull in to the property and he stopped cold in a random spot before we got to the pumps. I sat behind him for a few moments before pulling to the wrong side of the e85 pump (whole thing must have had me flustered?!). Next thing I know, he has his window down a few inches and is screaming at me from across the lot, then loops around the pumps and leaves?!

Barracuda....Back from the dead
Joe Handley replied to SfanGoch's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
"Only 185 hp?" That's still one of the more potent engines in it's class and there will finally be a hotter car that will revive the GLH badging from the Omni, supposedly turbocharged with the bigger, Chrysler 2.4l engine. If it has the potential of the old Neon SRT4, it should be nasty quick with some tuning. -

Why is people seem to forget that the Dart has always just been an economy car, not to mention that the 4 cylinder have as much, if not more pwer than the smaller 6 and 8 cylinders the old ones had -
What non-auto model did you get today?
Joe Handley replied to chunkypeanutbutter's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
Paid off the layaway on that little R/C Suzuki Jimny today, now I just nead to get bearings to replace the bushings before I build it. -
What did you see on the road today?
Joe Handley replied to Harry P.'s topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I saw a late model Ferrari and Lambo this past weekend, not sure which the were as I really could care less, then amazingly, I saw a fairly rough but intact for the Midwest Late 80's Escort GT while running around today?! -
Dang, Dean Jones just a few days ago and now Martin Milner too?! At least they lived long, full lives!

Is that the same car? Those look like a couple hairdryers to me. -
Looks like the Griswolds are going on Vacation again.
Joe Handley replied to Greg Myers's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
Gotta love what happens when excentricity and WW2 aircraft engines come together! -
Wow Doc, haven't seen much of you in a while!

Crybaby..........I think?!

Has anyone used the Testors/Aztec paints?
Joe Handley replied to Monty's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I've been wanting to try the stuff for a while now, just haven't bought any yet. -
This ever happen to anyone else?
Joe Handley replied to Evil Appetite's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I've seen that too, in my experience, it seems that the 3' thin wall bulk tubing seems to be the most maliable, while the 1' tubes in the red cardboard packs is a harder thin wall tube that doesn't like to bend, then they have a thick wall 7071 alloy tube that you can cut threads into! -

Yeah, the EPA tends to be more concerned with keeping the Volatile Organic Compounds within the can until needed and CPSC and OSHA would probably prefer the cans safely stay in one piece. -

Acura MDX, not sure what year off hand, but I generally despise almost all things Crossover, the KL Cherokee Trailhawk excluded, no matter the manufacturer. -

You are actually taking a look at pictures of two cars that look nothing alike other than a shared antenna and saying that they are indistinguishable from each other yet two cars that have a similar silhouette and the exact same roof options look completely different?
