  1. Waiting with baited breath for this Ringo character to return.
  2. Nice to see a different bike! Welcome aboard!
  3. http://sports.yahoo.com/nascar/blog/from_the_marbles/post/Your-NASCAR-heroes-were-as-dorky-as-you-were-in-?urn=nascar-wp4862 Yeah, pretty much as expected...
  4. That was absolutely top rate. I hated that guy until that moment. Then I felt like a dick. Just watched the final episode with the wife, glad Mike didn't win. Don't know how I'd feel about him getting a second chance only to come bck and win. I don't know that ANYONE else on that show this season could have beat Dustin's perfromance. Amazing. Kind of liked him to win from the beginning - very even keeled and laid back.
  5. I'd agree with that DN, that's a pretty goofy looking bike. Based on flipper?
  6. Those carbs are terrible to tune. Sorry, but good luck. I'm using Mikunis on mine - not much better to tune, but much more versitile and very, very well supported. I also have the luxery of using only one, which I'm doing.
  7. Uhm... maybe I'm the weird one, but I think it looks ok. Others have said it, I've seen much worse looking bikes. Hell, I've owned and riden much worse looking bikes. The V8 is just novelty. Very similar to that new V4 bike out there... Motus?
  8. Yeah, I've seen that... just checking the tube before I order anything else. My car sat a lot before I bought it, so it would have an opportunity to build up.
  9. Uhm... I don't have a degree in history or anything (wait a minute, yes I do!), but I'm pretty sure that treason was the point. *sigh* Now that their prince is married, the UK has nothing better to do than to slander our founding fathers... again.
  10. I just got a Rogue for my wife. Looked hard at the Hyundai Tucson and the CR-V, a little bit at the Subbie Forester and the Rav4. I worked at Nissan for three years and know what goes wrong with the Rogues (nothing). My wife loved the one we test drove a year ago, bought ours sight unseen. Love it. Interior space in the Rogue is bigger than the Murano until you get to the cargo area. I'd give the Rogue a look. PM me and I can put you in touch with the dealer I worked at/bought from.
  11. I'm hoping we won't have that.... I ordered a crows foot wrench of the proper size, we'll give it the old college try when that gets here. Luckily, mine isn't as rusty even as the one in the picture I included (found on internet), so I don't anticipte much trouble with the pipe itself, just the fitting.
  12. We all can't drive a Malibu... wait, even YOU can't drive a Malibu because the cam broke Sorry, had to do it.
  13. My thoughts exactly - well, PB Blaster - anyone know if AutoZone loans out crows foot wrenches? Like I said, my biggest one is too small. I need to put the old gauge on there and get an exact measuement of the size.
  14. Doing a little maintenance on the Sable, and I'd like to clean the EGR tube. Getting an EGR code and I want to eliminate this before I spend money on anything else ($3 gasket if I'rm ight, $80+ parts if I'm wrong - the old Maximas had a similar design and had this problem). Having some trouble getting the tube out, thought I'd bounce it off you tech-minded guys. Pic's worth a thousand words: I can obviously get the top of the tube off, just by removing the EGR valve. I can't for the life of me think of how to get the bottom off. It threads into the rear exhaust manifold, nut is about 7/8" +/-. I can get a wrench on it, but can't really turn it. I was thinking of a tie-rod end type tool, but my biggest one is 17mm. Once it's out, I'll put some anti-seize on it and it will be much easier to get in, so I'm not concerned about that. Thoughts?
  15. Talked with Meanie on the phone... sounds bad These Altimas are known for this issue, as stated previously. The 0731 is a U0731, which is a CAN code. Probably got set when the Altima stalled or when the car was being started - unrelated. New plugs, monitor the oil, drive it till the block splits down the middle.
  16. PM me or call/text 614-284- 5 8 7 6. I worked at Nissan for 3 years and can probably talk you through this.
  17. Sorry, but every time I glance at this thread, I see "revenge anal - advice?" and think there's something odd going on on OR...
  18. Walking through a Subaru dealer is like flipping through Ted Turner's channels during a Law and Order marathon... WRX... STi... GT... UK... SVU... Criminal Intent.
  19. ... man she's hot. Sorry, stuck in the hotel and all that is ever on is News/Sports/Law and Order... I settled on Law and Order.
  20. http://autos.yahoo.com/news/cars-that-catch-girls--eyes.html 1) I get it. 2) I get it. 3) Maybe in Iraq? 4) Maybe if the other driver is another girl and you have a "thing" for Jodie Foster. 5) Uhm... 6) Really?
