I worked on a 300ZX with 2200 miles that was towed in. took more than a week to find the throttle linkage was cutting into the wires to one injector blowing the two 30 amp fuses for the FI. that was 1986 and injector harnesses are STILL crappy. Raoul has a point, covid has helped deteriorate these things by lack of use. Could be worse though. Hooked up my friends Matrix and found two trans codes. That'll cost her.

because 4 and 5 are bigger than 9 I prefer acp. Even the fact checkers aren't buying joe's bovine manure.

I try not to think about it. I'll get a complex and go hide in the cave. Not joking.

Just had my Buick in Monday. Battery control module was bad. Glad it's under warranty.

I've stopped working in a shop. Only work on my own stuff now. Tony Day is still at it.

So after seeing some of the work you guys do I didn't want topost something as silly as a new pair of grip panels. But hey, I'm proud of what I have and I like it. So here is my Taurus 945 with new black linen micarta grip panels from Altamont. They fill out the hand without making the grip feel larger. May be only for show since the alloy frame contributes to extreme muzzle flip but we'll see after I get her to the range.

son's truck could be bad #2 injector. stuck open injector will kill an O2 sensor,,,and cat converter too. don't ask me how I know. good luck.

That is just gorgeous! And Dad built it for you makes it that much better. Hope your family passes it down for many, many generations. I've never seen a cherry stock in person but I have seen them. ask dad if he has a piece of walnut or if I need to bring my own! LOL!

HEY!!!! I resentthat!!!! just because I live in the city doesn't mean I'm dependent. I can take care of my own,,,learned when I lived in LaFayette. I have the first gen WYZE and am doing to upgrade to the new version as it has better night vision. By the way, at one point I lived out near Pumpkin town so yeah I know the sticks! LOL out near Parkhurst road, you know, where my family came from

private security company. unless you are an on duty law enforcement officer, following a speeder is a ticket able offense that adds danger to an already dangerous situation. your admission to tailgating in an old Tacoma POS makes me more worried about your driving than his. at least when I go triple digits it's in something capable of doing so safely. first car I owned after getting my license was a solid white like this one. retired cop cars are a great resource for second cars or people with small budget. they are well maintained and tough so they hold up well. they also provide some return on taxpayer investment.

congrats on new pistol. 1911 is a great choice no matter what caliber. a .38 super and a 10mm are on my list.
-
congrats! that's a good choice. the big thumper will do well for you I'm sure.
-
well yeah,,,that'll work for penetration but it is a bit more conspicuous.
-
slick rifle. Mini will be my next semi-auto
-
I would be except for the two projects in my driveway waiting for my attention. Better if it were an RT (for me)
-
No doubt. Lesson learned; keep it below line of sight and carry a caliber capable of penetrating sheet metal!
-
agreed. in this instance a dash cam on he man's truck might have given a better idea of what went on. my point is if she was truly frightened she would never have exited her vehicle. gives me doubt that he instigated the confrontation.

depending on price range and style, the small 250/300 Ninja is quite strong and durable. They are very light and very quick so a high level of responsibility is needed. I've also had two Bandit 600, they are good long dista nce bikes with sport bike looks and more upright riding position. A true sport bike like the Ninja is hard on wrists and I don't recommend sport bikes for distance.

We are looking at half of the story and making judgement. She said he was tailgating her but then she pulls in behind and exits her vehicle to take a picture. If I felt threatened I would have stayed in my vehicle. If you pull in behind and exit your vehicle and approach, how am I to know YOU are not the threat. Castle doctrine extends to one's vehicle here.

Sweet! looks like a winner! Just another J.M. Browning piece of genius.

it has been my experience that all makers have quality issues at some point. Hi Point has built a very sturdy piece and all of their arms are of the same pattern. The carbine is ugly but I still want one. Also been my experience that you can make anything run reliably if you know how. I did feel your comment was condescending for future reference. But I tend to be the same way and not apologetic for it.
-
Just a quick check on Bud's website tells me the Hi Point is $200 while the G19 is $550. And the glock is still ugly. If I'm low on funds or not a gun aficionado, I'll just take the Hi Point. Onw step up would be Kel Tec or SCCY. My daughter's Hi Point is locked in my cabinet. And it never fails to go bang when directed to do so.
