Re: Gas Pains?

Stock is 8.5:1 with an "open chamber" type head. The head I have on it is "closed chamber" and closer to 10:1.

Re: Gas Pains?

When I filled up my "new" truck the other day it was $3.62. At least this one seems to not ping on regular unleaded; as my older one (well, my '76) is pretty picky and needs midgrade. The downside is the '76 has an aftermarket oversize gas tank so I don't have to fill it as often. 3.3 gallons may no...

Re: How robust is the tire pressure sensor gadget?

Well, there's 3 ways I can think of for cloning or hacking key fobs. One is with older cars that just had remote door locks, there were a limited number of frequencies and codes used. Much like garage door openers, thieves would just go around parking lots with either stolen fobs or a homemade trans...

Re: How robust is the tire pressure sensor gadget?

What purpose does turning a key serve? Oh, I don't know... being able to select "Accessories" instead on "on". Or more to the point, thieves using relay boxes to amplify the signal from your own key, locked in your house, to start up and drive away. Way easier than hotwiring or using shaved keys. N...

Re: How robust is the tire pressure sensor gadget?

They install them stem-up to the undercarriage to prevent rocks from dinging the side you see, supposedly making them look batter when you install them. But that doesn't help when you live in the rust belt and salty snow and sand accumulates up there.

Re: Teen Insults 1.379 Billion People

Hey, I didn't go to any prom either. And I turned out just fine. Aside from a touch of serious social ineptitude and the uncanny ability to destroy relationships before they happen.

OK, bad example.

Re: Name That Movie!

OK, fine. Clearly no one wants to take this one, which was "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes". The original feature length one. No one wants to admit they'd seen it, apparently. It was a staple of my childhood, as it was one of my Dad's favorite movies. It was meant to be a bad movie. But since no one ...

Interestingly, the only people offended by her choice of prom dress are... Americans.

The Chinese in China don't give a hoot about it. At most they seem amused by the controversy.

I can say without fear of contradiction, that under no circumstances, and at no time has that current administration expended any public monies whatsoever for the purchase of the fluffy flower print toilet paper.

Nobody is closer to power then the press secretary for the president. But it is never fully yours, it's dangling in front of you. Mocking your very existence. I WILL NOT BE MOCKED ANY LONGER
