  1. You're really coming into your own with these pics, Wags...:thumbup:
  2. The stuff I listed: http://www.homedepot.com/p/Latex-ite-4-75-Gal-Airport-Grade-Driveway-Sealer-73066/100479155 One of the Home Deep guys helped me out with the rubber squeegee and some of this rope that you fill gaps with and then heat with a torch: THAT took me the most time. I also bought a primer to "neutralize" a couple of oil spots, but I didn't bother with it...if the sealer fails on top of Cleetus' drippings, I'll just patch it or say screw it and seal it again later. To Tim's point, you're actually supposed to let this stuff cure for a YEAR (warranty claim) and not seal over it for 2-3 years at least. If I stay with asphalt, I'll never pay someone to seal my driveway again. EASY job to do, provided you've got the time. This was a great DIY job for any homeowner with an asphalt driveway that hasn't started buckling yet. I just came back from watching "Edge of Tomorrow" and checked the driveway. It's dry enough to walk on but I'm looking forward to tomorrow's sunny day to cure it fully.
  3. I ended up buying all the materials for $140 and just finished 90% of it. Will need a 6th barrel to get the edges of the back parking area (where Cleetus sleeps). Gotta say I'm blown away. Prep work was time-consuming (always is for a good job!) but my neighbors were coming over to watch and everyone said what a great outcome. Really glad I did it, and I only wish I sealed it a year or so ago. We will eventually get concrete ($14k quote!!!) but I'm happy this airport-grade sealer looks like it'll last a long time. :thumbup::thumbup:
  4. Congrats! Looks like you be leaking PS fluid from the pump?
  5. Gotta say, I hate dem automatics...but that's a stinkin' NICE TEE-RUK, Nickey! Many happy miles! :thumbup::thumbup:
  6. I see what you did there. #meteorologicalreferences #notamallettbutcouldbefor$20kmore
  7. After spending $600 3 years ago to seal my driveway, only to have it look like crap now...I want to smooth out my own asphalt sealer. I've seen this Airport-grade buckets of sealer at Home Depot http://www.homedepot.com/p/Latex-ite-4-75-Gal-Airport-Grade-Driveway-Sealer-73066/100479155, and cheapy stuff elsewhere. Any recommendations on what to buy would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
  8. Regardless of how it's tracked as a proper job, this is one of those positions that you don't need to put on LinkedIn. Goes right into the trash bin with such proud titles as: Ferris Wheel Operator at St. Andrews Church Festival Bundler and Oil Barrel Fire-Stoker at Santa's Christmas Tree Stop I'd like to see the rest of his resume: President/CEO at Uber - Grove City, OH - Proactively hauled drunks from bars to their homes. - Sexxxually assisted horny maidens at 3am. - Maintained a 1996 Chevrolet Cavalier, manually combing pink mustache every weekend to promote brand awareness.
  9. Ryan, congratulations! That's a beautiful home. Time to have some more kids! :no::masturboy:
  10. Camaro wheels look good on your G8. Any plans to lower it (or is it already done)? Welcome to the site! :thumbup:
  11. LOVE the car, the work, and the pics! :thumbup::thumbup: If that is in German Village, creepy basements are pretty much to be expected. Where'd you get those RWL Goodyear tires? Great job yanking off the front bumper; amazing how much better these things look with a streamlined snout.
  12. Fookin' love Monoblocks. :thumbup::thumbup:
  13. Congrats, Jones! Many happy miles to you, Pops, or whomever drives that thing...
  14. HAYGUIZ! What's going on in this thread???
  15. Really nice! Many happy miles to you, Tina! Is that the suspension setup for driving through snowdrifts?
  16. That's all that matters. CONGRATS!:fuckyeah:
  17. Is your wife working while she's in school? One thought is to wait until she's through before you go back...keeps money coming into the household... I think it's a great idea, but you'll really need to figure out not just what you want to do, but what school will get you there. Lots to think about...
  18. You can get the 212cc Predator engines at HF for $119 on sale. Have one of those 20% or 25% off coupons? W. Broad Harbor Freight doesn't care about coupon restrictions and you can use them for the engines. :thumbup::thumbup: I bought the 212cc at first, then realized the slip-clutch wouldnt fit without machining the bore. Got the 98cc/3HP engine and everything bolted onto the bike.
  19. I drove a '12 and a '13 back-to-back, 210hp 3.8L vs the 283hp 3.6L: The Pentastar 3.6 perks every part of driving a Jeep up in a major way. Not saying the 3.8 is a bad mill, but if I'm financing $16k+ I'd rather keep my money than buy an older one. From a value standpoint, he's better getting the newest and lowest-mile Jeep he can afford. Amazes me that 10-year old '04 Wranglers with well over 100k are still selling at $teens...
  20. I drove an '03 with the 2.4L 4cyl...OH MY [/takei] I've owned/driven some beaters in my day, but a 4cyl Jeep is downright unsafe at stock ride height running 235/75/15s...slow is an understatement. Trucks/crosswind abuse it and the lack of power is unnerving. Makes cents if you've got it in South Florida where you never get above 60mph on surface roads. If he's looking to pay $16k, could he afford $22k? The 283hp Pentastar Wranglers are way better (if you have to get married to a Wrangler). I drove a Rubicon and it was actually a fun ride. Wouldn't want to pay the gas bill every week... http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/2014/07/capsule-review-2014-jeep-wrangler-sport-s/
  21. I had Joe do a CCW class just for my family. There were a dozen or so of us there, and Joe was an amazing instructor. Everyone walked away very happy and I know my sister-in-law has been in touch with him since to advise on carry guns. There are a lot of people out there doing CCW classes, but no one I would trust as much as Joe. If you're on the fence about taking the course, give Joe a call! You won't regret it. On top of that, I'll say that my CCW has gotten me out of a pretty big speeding ticket on I-71 recently. Course paid for itself right there. Even if you don't carry on the regular, it's not a bad mark to have on your record. :thumbup:

  23. +1. Fun times ahead!
  24. http://www.redbubble.com/people/regularcars LETS KISS:megusta:
  25. Sounds cool, but my mind is a little skewed after driving the Tesla Model S. If I had north of $70k to spend on a car, that would be what I buy.
