  1. That $850 has a lot of padding to it, I'll bet. This is one place where the generic corner garage isn't the best place to go. A specialized exhaust shop will almost certainly come in quite a bit cheaper. The worst thing about front wheel drives is that damn flex pipe. It's often nearly $200. An exhaust shop can take a length of flex, some straight pipe and a pair of flanges and make one up on the spot for less than half that. Ask around.
  2. Here's the thing ... all these recharge kits miss one big point. Before you charge the system, you want to test it for leaks under pressure. Then you need to draw it down to vacuum. Only then do you add the oil and Freon charge. If you don't, a portion of the volume will be useless damp air. Now not every shop is going to be ready to handle an old car conversion, even if they claim the expertise. And even a quality shop will have it's share of wrench apes and counter monkeys. You're best off not volunteering an opinion. If you don't tell them what you know, if they try to sell you blinker fluid, you know to keep shopping. Letting them know you're not a mark might have them singing the right song, but still half assing the job.
  3. http://www.aa1car.com/library/retrofit.htm This pretty much covers it, with no half assing involved.
  4. Drink that stuff and find out for sure. Does being embalmed while you're still alive count as a second? Anyone from Louisiana familiar with zombification?
  5. Laughingly no less. That was a pretty brutal stomp down following on the heels of Aaron's walkout. Richard's brand (energy drink) didn't get it's hoped for pay off.
  6. Bad plan. There's only a ninety percent chance the Mexican water will fark you up
  7. Never have I been more glad of the U in my name. Dodged a bullet there Btw ... did you notice the name embossed in the glass? You guys are drinking GE's Ball juice.
  8. The Vauxhall was a grand nameplate ... but lets face it ... it was pointless.
  9. Child car seats expire ... maybe. Car seats ... are car seats. So ... what about all those cars with magic built in child car seats? Are you supposed to rip them out too?
  10. Be careful. The most common cure down there is ... hair of the dog.
  11. Chopped steak (hamburger) rare is just asking for a tape worm. Calling Olaf Frosty is racist ... I guess they all look alike to you. GE, tell the truth. There was no car accident .... that was just what happens went you and she go a little overboard on the kinky sex and she forgets the safe word. No shame dude .. happens to everyone sooner or later. Just ask Ted Kennedy.
  12. http://canadianponcho.activeboard.com/t63249341/lost-everything-yesterday/?page=2#lastPostAnchor More photos over there, but nothing anyone really wants to see.
  13. Big thread on this over at Canadian Poncho. Heartbreaking.
  14. Well, cut bait or stop selling automobile shaped garbage and get back to selling quality vehicles.
  15. Naw, it's from the clouds, about 1000' straight up.
  16. We've had about a foot in the last week.
  17. Stupid .. it's the turbo diesel they need to be pushing. Market is wide open for them.
  18. I'm here to paint cars and chew bubblegum ... and I'm all out of gum.
  19. Because a customer that gives them dozens of orders a year takes priority over the jobs of a one time Willie. Even if you give him the best reviews on every website, It still won't come close to the money. That's business.
  20. Gawd I hate the human race. Can we please have the friggin asteroid strike already??
