  1. Now that I look at you're problem it sounds a little like a problem my sister had with the alarm installed in her '92 Cherokee Brairwood before she purchased it (don't know if it was factory, but it had been there a long, long time!) Seems that sometimes her truck would refuse to start for no reason, Dad even took the starter over to a local parts house that had a machine to check it them and it worked fine! Finally they figured out that if she tried to unlock the door a second time with her key it would start. Dad even tried to get rid of the alarm system and has had to replace both the alternator and starter in the last year but it still does it from time to time...........
  2. Oh that was good, must have clicked it nearly half dozen times
  3. Might try and PM Phil Patterson, his daughter just bought a '98 Caravan Sport in thr past year IIRC and he' done some of the work on it for her
  4. Has a real CarToons look to it!
  5. hehehe, for some reason the line from some Limp Bizkit song "pop your *** like a zit" came to mind when I read that
  6. Pardon the stupid questions, but what makes that van a "Horst" (I'm mildly familiar what what Horst used to be) and how many of the VW vans could get out of their own way before the Eurovan's hit the market?
  7. I do like the way those "Saturns" looks, didn't realise that were pricey though.
  8. My first boss had one, it was so basic that it didn't even have full hubcaps, just plain argent wheels with silver dollar sized center caps, 3cyl/5-speed combo, and a radio. Kinda wish I could get my hands on a clean K-Car for cheap though!
  9. Wow, it does have that 60's Show Rod/Slingshot Dragster look going on!
  10. Hell, I don't know if I could get my fat rear into one that's stock let alone chopped and dropped!
  11. You know guys, they used to make aircraft skinned in cloth and still cover wood stick fuselage RC aircraft in a heat shrink plastic.
  12. Hope things start going better right away for you Vince, starting with those M***********s getting caught and charged!
  13. Cool, a Focus Hatchback Panel!
  14. Jeff Foxworthy once said that there are rednecks all over this country, now if you look at the license plates in this picture, Europe hase been invaded too!
  15. Looks great, but that rear suspension reminds me of Dobertons J-2000.
  16. You know, I've carried a box cutter of one type or another since graduating from High School and have only cut myself once with it and that was a slight jab in the finger. Now since highschool I've jabbed myself, sliced myself, sawed myself, and slit myself! Been spooked a few times by the drop in the lap and floor, but what scares me is losing the extra sharp, pointy, and hefty body reamer for my RC's! Dropped that a month or so ago and just missed my foot
  17. I've got a pic of my Jeep Wrangler bodied Wheely King in mine and can see everybodys avitars just fine, includng yours.
  18. HAHAHAHAHA, that alone was worth turning on the computer tonight!
  19. Mine's still working fine from home, just downloaded a bunch of cell phone pics of my new E-Revo without a hitch. I'm using IE at home and work to access it.
  20. Wow, is it in as good a shape as it looks to be? Mom told be about someone who was a mortition and had to take delivery on a new hearse and asked his mother in law to come with to keep him company. I guess his MIL wasn't feeling all that good and he suggested that she lay down in the back, but with one request.......that when they get back to town he wanted her to wave out the side windows as they drove through town! For a couple decades my Grandparents had an apartment building in Ames, IA and one of the renters had an old hearse back in the 60's. He went home for Easter and left my grandparents the keys to it since he had it parked in the street. Well....Mom, Dad, his parents and brothers decided to "decorate" the car and cruise the main drag in it. They covered it in balloons, signs, and stuck a cardboard coffin the in back with sock stapled so that it looked like feet flopping around. Evidently they brought the coffin in the back of Dad's white '62 Plymouth Fury hardtop and were having one heck of a time getting it out of the car. The next day Mom was at work in the eye doctors office when an Ames cop came in and told her about seeing these folks struggling to get some fake coffin out of a white Plymouth so they could put in an old hearse covered in balloons. Mom ###### near bit off her tongue trying to keep from laughing out loud in the cops face as he told her about this!
