Good shop near Glassboro for Transfers?@
the way I have to view it though, is how he treated my mother. him and his guys are a BIG part of her having overcome her lifelong fear/hatred of guns. I don't think that the guys at hagues would've done that good with her, nor have I been to any other place where she'd have felt comfortable. where's deuces den?

Electric cars as the norm vs the exception
also also.....the ecopo just had no soul. I think if I were the teams driver, and they told me I hadda drive that car, i'd do it once, just to see how it felt...….with nothing to give it any heart and soul though? once would be it. would be like riding an electric harley

Electric cars as the norm vs the exception
oohh I know...….but for the most part there shouldn't be any reason for it to be so slow...... also...the cobrajert's running low 8's high 7's on a 5.0, while the slomaro's using a 427 I think.

Electric cars as the norm vs the exception
ford's supposedly gonna have a hybrid mustang for 2020......not an econo-shitbox one either. I guess we'll see. I was watching the 4-wide nats sunday. they talked about the e-copo slomaro. they were proud that it ran a 9.8 second 1/4 mile. yet.....the big block one runs a full second faster, which is still a half second slower than a cobrajet mustang. and while someone that doesn't know drag racing will think that 1 second or 1.5 seconds is nothing? in the realm of a drag race, 1 second is like a couple minutes on a longer road course...….

emergency basic medical training?
not sure where this should go. there was a pretty nasty crash out in front of the shop this afternoon. 4 cars. 2 people taken in ambulance. 3 small kids in the vehicle that caused the whole thing. thankfully they were ok. anyway......when I heard the first hit, I dialed 911, and went over to the scene. there were a bunch of people came over, and not a single. fucking. one. of. us. knew what to do. the only thing I could think of to do was to tell someone that I think was the kids grandpop to move them away from their mother so they didn't see her sitting there bleeding. so...…...who/what/where would one look for just the very basic "care for the injured till real help arrives" kind of training?

it probably has been hushed. there's no possible way it couldn't cause something....even if it's the guy behind seeing the green, expecting you to move as quickly as he does, hits the gas, then hits you, 'cause you're still waiting for your engine to re-start......

Car Guru's - 2019 Chevy Traverse - Auto Stop/Start
on the delay thing.....i'm a left footed braker. i can pretty much guarantee that i'll be on the throttle long before the engine re-starts. and on at least two occasions i did in fact have to move to avoid getting clobbered,.....both of those instances an ass system would've had me being taken away in an amberlamps.

there IS hope
had a long convo with a new'ish customer tonight. kid's 19. and he's more informed than ANY teen I've met in the last 5 years. he's awake enough to see all the shit going sideways, all the rights being stolen from us. it warms my heart when I see kids this smart. i'm hoping he'll be joining this bbs too. I gave him the web addy.

Car Guru's - 2019 Chevy Traverse - Auto Stop/Start
all new stuff does this now. even key started cars are essentially asking the body control module to crank the starter. unless they gave you a super good deal, you'll still be responsible for brakes, tires, and other basic maintenance such as oil changes. and you DO NOT have to have that stuff done at the dealer.

can't go wrong with a Tahoe or surburban. unless they've got ass now. I think gm solved most of the issues with their variable displacement systems on those...….

n that note, another quick fix is to select Sport mode, assuming the vehicle in question has one. GM’s auto engine stop-start isn’t active in Sport mode, although the driver should be aware that other settings on the vehicle – throttle calibration, exhaust mode, suspension mode, shift scheduling, etc. – can also change in Sport, I gotta ask though. you hadda know it had this feature...….what the hell possessed you to buy this pos?

LED Head Lamp
I haven't tried their headlights.....but I have multiple stinger handheld flashlights. I use those at work also, have one in each truck, and one at home. one of the ones at work is about 10 years old, but I've stopped using it much as it is so out of date that comparing that old stinger to the 3 year old stinger is like comparing a shitty led to a incandescent flashlight. I also have a streamlight strion that I use for edc. I carry it in a holster. you just can't go wrong with a streamlight.

LED Head Lamp
AT HOME i use a sabre. it's 250lumen. rechargeable. i like it a lot. it is a flood beam only though. at the shop, i use a LED lenser. dunno the lumens, but it's bright for working around engine bays. i took one home with me last night and was using it in the yard, and it was plenty bright too. it can focus to a beam or go flood. it also is rechargeable. i like them rechargeable. also, both of those i mentioned are over 100 bucks....but in my mind more than worth the cost.

handicap access ramp
well...got a ramp. used. thanks njjoniguy for hooking me up with your friend. turns out I kinda knew him...….he used to own a repair shop literally right around the corner from my home. now the shit starts again. last week I got a call that she'd been having a couple problems here n there. just tonight I got a call.....her legs keep collapsing. sorta numb'ish but not if that makes any sense. they're taking her to the hospital tomorrow to see if they can find out the cause. but it sounds like she won't be walking much when she comes home...…...if we can get her home. my aunt's doubtful that they'll let her on an airplane with how little she can walk right now.
