Just pop the valve, it'll lock and slide.

I've always been more of a parking lot drifter myself. Working primarily on medium duty vehicles, I've gotten sideways in buses, an armored truck, delivery vehicles, even a 26' box van.

Well, at least we seem to be keeping with the spirit of this thread.

Variations on a (lame) theme?

The new Subaru Ascent is nice. It's as big as our third gen Explorer, but supposedly hits 30mpg on the freeway.

My wife has been looking as well, and Subaru checks a lot of boxes for us. I've seen first gen Ford Escapes handle some pretty good abuse (like towing a 27' camper), and I've had second and third gen Explorers but those are gas hogs.

I did the full workup on the genetic testing, it all came back negative. I have the stuff on the HER2, I don't remember off hand. They are putting me on an estrogen blocker, so I guess I need to get out of touch with my feminine side. This seems to be one of those random cancers. My boss has...

Go to an actual plumbing store. 90% of what they have at the box stores is garbage that will need a valve or an element in just a few years. If you have gas to the house, a tankless is great. They become a bit of a wash if you have only electric, they need a ton of power.

"Of course there's room for a storage fridge in the garage" always works here. As long as she doesn't actually fill the thing.

It decided to be rainy here in Twin Falls.

It was mid October, and three students of the International School of Music were discussing the upcoming Halloween costume party. They had decided that the best choice would be to show their passion and dedication to their musical careers by going as their favorite composers. The Russian...

I used to pull the kids around behind the snowmobiles. When we moved back to WA, it snowed about 1/2" so I fired up the old Olympic and dragged them around a bit. No sleds or snow his winter though, plus I'm a little short on cold tolerance.

Extension ladders*. Ladder #1 from bottom corner to upper corner, bottom of ladder #2 tied to middle of ladder #1, reaching to opposite wall. I saw it in some post about dumb workers, it'll be fine. *Probably not a good idea. Rental places have step ladders, that would be my first try...

Nissan has done so many tracked concept vehicles that it's almost expected. Leave it to Nissan to make people bored with tracked vehicles.

The last few cases I rebuilt I used a boot tray from Lowe's to control the mess. There will be a mess. That case does have pry tabs to get the case halves apart, if you try and pry at all in the sealing surfaces it will leak. Be sure to use a good RTV going back together, I prefer Ultra Gray...

Didn't the French already have a revolution? I guess if I wasn't legally allowed to work more than 35hrs a week I'd have time for protesting too.

I like to run Delo 10w30 XLE in those, especially if there's any injector stiction issues.

Looks like the sign worked, the truck missed the pole. Maybe they should have put the sign on the building?

The oil fields were awesome for people tearing stuff up. The T600s liked to brake off fuel pickups from sloshing down the lease roads, then there was this one guy who seemed to think he was training for the Quebec truck drags. He re-settled an ISX block, breaking an EGR cooler that had only...

Anybody got anything useable?
