Yesterday I spent some time tearing down the engine. I methodically bagged and tagged the hardware as I went (just in case, ya know) until I finally got to the first money shot of sorts. Sorry; I didn't realize that photo was a bit blurry until I uploaded it off my phone. Whatever. I sure...

Since the van was parked outside, my engine removal got put on hold for the cold winter months. Last week, however, I managed to go ahead and get the engine yanked from the van. (Man, what a royal pain in the ass that was.) It now sits on an engine stand. Tomorrow I will begin the teardown...

What does a man do standing up, a woman do sitting down, and a dog do with one leg raised? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Shake hands.

I will vouch for that. I'd love to see this thing go to a good home.

Thanks to Bryson, of course. Can somebody put me down for 3 or 4 of these?

Some pets are less... satisfying... to play with than others. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWSIYlIag6w

A Larsen NMO2/70B. I have seen more than one experienced ham refer to this as a reference antenna, and now that I've personally witnessed its performance I would agree. It put my former econocar's Tram 1181 to shame in side-by-side testing, for example. RME member gijohn can tell you about...

I forgot to ask the OP something. Are you looking for a radio to use in your vehicle, or for when you are on foot? If it is the former, handheld radios are lousy for use in a vehicle. If it is the latter, a handheld makes sense. (I presume it is the latter based on your comments; I ask...

OP: sorry, I have precisely zero digital ham experience. I would heartily agree: the Baofengs are certainly cheap. I'd never describe one as durable, however. We usually do use simplex to communicate as a group. However, this doesn't mean you would never use a repeater on a trail...

2002 Camaro Z28. Clear title. Last known odometer reading: 163,885 miles on 03/31/2014. 2001 Camaro Z28. Salvaged on 11/05/2013 due to water damage. Last known odometer reading: 141,835 on 06/24/2013. 2002 Camaro Z28. Salvaged on 01/30/2014 due to "severe damage" in a crash on...

I just figured... you know... you'd send me the VIN(s) in a private message. ;)

ERROR 404: PM not found.

And if you want actual title reports, I can provide those if needed. Let me know.

Welcome! You've definitely come to the right place, both on the internet ;) and in America. There is so much good 'wheeling all around us.

Egad! I've been using that term since before I even got my driver's license... in 1986. I think I learned it reading Car and Driver in junior high school. It is sad that you would learn this term just as its namesake is being phased out in favor of CVT transmissions.

Some, yes; others, not at all. The new Cherokee uses the FWD-based 9-spd automatic. While this transmission hasn't exactly seen mechanical issues, in some vehicles it has been plagued with software problems--shifting funny, maybe not wanting to shift at all, etc. To their credit, Chrysler...

Going in to it, I thought there was no way the scorpion could lose. Maybe we'll call it a draw?

Black Widow spider verses scorpion. FIGHT! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hb3sBTVcwas

A husband and wife are shopping in their local Wal-Mart. The husband picks up a case of Miller Lite and puts it in their cart. "What do you think you're doing?" asks the wife. "They're on sale, only $10 for 24 cans," he replies. "Put 'em back...it's a waste of money," demands the wife, and so...

In that case, you could go with Derale's setup that has its own fan and temp switch. This will allow you to mount it practically anywhere. Here is a TJ with this cooler mounted behind the belly plate, kinda where lots of guys mount tanks for on board air: For a very thorough description of...
