Gas tax hike Oct 1
1) any of you that are surprised by this weren't paying attention. it was written in to the bill that they forced down christies throat. 2)avb….as usual, you're making excuses for them. if they'd been spending our money properly all along, then they wouldn't need this tax increase. in fact, from my undertstanding, the money collected on the increase isn't even going to fixing things, but rather to paying back loans......and this next increase will do the same. and they'll keep borrowing. against this increase. and they'll "need" another increase to pay it back.

Defcad strikes back
i think his point was that you can't legally do what they're trying to do to this guy. what wilson SHOULD do, is to literally put them in a book. then watch the govt try to ban a book.

Greasing your AR???
i'd seen a video(probably the same one) and asked a couple local people i trust. they all agreed with that. it's not that messy, and the grease doesn't "creep" away when the gun's in the safe

Tire Rack: good source? or bad?
years ago when we used to run a camaro drag car, we'd get almost 10psi increase in pressure of the slicks from staging lanes to coming back to the pits.

Tire Rack: good source? or bad?
actually the only real advantage to nitrogen for the average driver is pressure changes with weather/barometer changes. other than that, nitrogen is really only advantageous for high performance and racing applications.

you're joking 'bout that.....but did you know that you can in fact get alcohol fuel for your drag racer that will indeed give off specific fruity smells in the exhaust?

Samsung gear s3 frontier
so....i'm looking at these. I've got a garmin that i'm really happy with. for some reason the Samsung caught my eye. I like everything I see about it(especially how it'll sync with my galaxy s5 better) except for one thing. charging. it looks like this thing needs to be charged every 2 or 3 days, whereas the garmin i'm wearing now goes a full 2 weeks on a charge. so have any of you got experience with them? is what I've read about the 2-3 day charging true? what's your experiences with them?

running joke in our(mechanics) world. you need to change the winter air for the summer air. you need to change your blinker fluid too. and lubricate the muffler bearings

Tire Rack: good source? or bad?
I'D used the eldorados on my truck 'cause i had a customer came in requesting those. i liked them to the point where i put them on many customers cars, and everyone loved them......when i needed a set of LT's those were affordable. they're fan-fucking-tastic in any weather condition too.

i've seen it a ton on continentals too. i've seen them so bad that there's adeep crack following along the bead on the rim, but about a quarter inch out. it's scary shit. i've seen them both do it in less than 2 years. yet....i've got eldorados(cooper sub company) on my expedition. 4 years going, and not a sign of dry rot. or bad wear. and the truck handles dam good. if one were really doing their research they'd find that there's many viable alternatives to the big names that will perform right there with them.

Tire Rack: good source? or bad?
lot of guys won't charge the "standard mounting and balancing" when you bring your own tires, but rather they'll charge time it takes to do the work.
-
Tire Rack: good source? or bad?
you think that's any different than the rest of us? lemme tell ya what i see from a perspective of the guy that works on this shit. continentals for the most part dry rot much faster than any other tire out there. 'cept the michelens. michelens dry rot faster than everything out there 'cept the continentals. the ONLY contenintal i install with confidence is the "extra load" on a fleet of transit connects i service. michelens i will only install at customer request. i like some goodyears. can't fucking stand firestones. bfgoodrich makes a decent tire. cooper, hankook, and kumho make good tires. falcon has come up to the top, although i don't install many of them. something you need to realize(and i'd have thought you knew this...guess i was wrong) is that a manufacturer doesn't put "the best tire" on the vehicle. they put the best within a specific price range, and depending on who gives them the best deal. i think griz nailed it when he made the snob comment.

Mag Ban Injunction Hearing 7/12/18
should i go in to detail at how it would go if that asshat ever showed up at a 3gun? in short, i could almost guarantee that he'd be proposing laws against that kind of event and equipment within a week.

Tire Rack: good source? or bad?
I love my fords...but those coilpacks n plugs on their OHC engines look to hav e been set up by an owdi engineer. there's maybe 2 that're easy, the rest ALL have shit in the way. I had to replace the intake on my expedition, and did all the plugs/coils then, 'cause everything was off/outta the way. just bought an excursion. that one's gonna be fun some day.

Tire Rack: good source? or bad?
I can't help it. when someone designs a car which requires removal of the front fascia just to do a timing belit I hav e issues with it. or when you have to remove the entire front end to replace the a/c compressor water pump or other engine driven accessories. and.......the a4's tend to lose oil. either leaking through the rocker cover, or burning it. I've gotten to the point where I won't do anything other than oil changes brakes or shocks on an audi any more. going through your mechanic Is a smart idea. but.....LISTEN to him, no matter how many cars he tells you to pass on. I did that for a guy looking for a foxbody mustang a few years back. he kept bringing me bent/twisted pos cars, and I kept telling him to run away. on the 7th one, he didn't listen. dumped a boatload into the engine.....then wanted me to weld on frame connectors.....which I couldn't do....'cause the car was twisted.
