Living in Halloween Town is fun, but there's something to be said about the calm of November 1st

Re: If ..........., You Just Might Be Drivin' an Electric

I actually talked to The Godly Bovine a week ago. He's alive, just busy.

Re: Good Automatics

the garbage manual used in the JL. I absolutely hate having to deal with manual JLs at work. What are the problems with the Amish JLs? Seriously. I'm not defending them....I don't know much about them. I really can't say if I've ever driven one. ....so, what's wrong? I've heard that the clutch rele...

Re: Good Automatics

Wife wanted a JL Wrangler, so we got her one. Between her 70+ mile round trip commute in stop and go traffic and her general unease with manuals, we got an auto. Truthfully I wouldn't have it any other way. The ZF eight speed is in every way superior to the garbage manual used in the JL. I absolutel...

Re: Misc Thread VI: Return of the Threadi

I have a soft spot for Stingers, so I really can't fault you for that one at all. Things are as they tend to be; monotony with some bits of interest. Such is life, I suppose. SS is pretty much the same it's always been, aside from some changes in users. Some have gone, some have joined, some are in ...

Re: Misc Thread VI: Return of the Threadi

The nifty thing about having three cars shared between two people is that I can just park mine on ramps and start tearing in to things. Maybe spend a half hour every day after work getting things done. I'll likely ignore the valve cover and crank leaks until my next oil change. If I do it all togeth...

Re: Misc Thread VI: Return of the Threadi

Met up with a friend from CT the other night. He was meeting someone else to swap cars and brought me a new set of seats for the wagon. One more thing on my list that'll never get done. So far I need to: -Pull the bumper to... 1) Install a new lower grille insert 2) Remove my headlights so I can upg...

I'm lucky in that my favorite quirky pizza place makes a pickle pizza and they're less than a mile and a half from home

Re: Misc Thread VI: Return of the Threadi

The LT sammich was goin' nowhere before they added bacon. Even the BLT has been improved upon! The LGBT is even better. Adding chunky and spicy guacamole to the mix is brilliant Just as long as they don't insist on adding Quail eggs.....not that some people might like that, but it's just not for me...

Re: Slaves

The ease of transmission removal is entirely dependent upon the vehicle and transmission in question. Neither are manuals, but an RT minivan with a 62TE is a hell of a lot faster to pull than a WK2 with an eight speed; even in the rare RWD configuration.
