  1. Did your car have a front plate on it? Is there a law in the state you live in to have a front plate? If you answered no to the first question and yes to the second, pay the damn fine.
  2. If you don't want so much trouble, take the dimmer out.
  3. I took the mig/plasma class. Very cool stuff. And, once you take a class you can rent the gear at the shop for like $5/hr. So if you have a small project and don't want to buy a welder you can just use theirs.
  4. Go to the Columbus Idea Foundry and take their tig class. <-- you are welcome. Then hang out with those guys and offer to help with things for the experience.
  5. I drive a car until 100k then I get rid of it. I have had Toyota's and I don't think they are as reliable as they used to be. My dad's truck has 400k on it but the last Toyo I owned had problems. I don't like Sync because it is an MS product.
  6. The 2013 x3 is bigger. I know people laugh at Hyundai but they are willing to stand behind their cars for 10 years or 100,000 miles. Even if its crap, they are willing to stand behind them. Anyone else do that??? Anyone?
  7. I have driven them and like them but the turn signal noise gives me a headache, stupid I realize but that whole sync thing goes against my very soul.
  8. I am looking to buy a small SUV. On the radar is Infinity FX BMW X3 Mercedes 350 Audi Q5 Hyundai Santa Fe Honda CRV I realize this is an odd list but I really don't care about price because I drive cars from new until its 6 or 7 years old and I don't feel safe letting my family go on a big road trip. If you sell any of these vehicles or have a hookup, please let me know.
  9. Aside from the buy a truck, it has to be able to tow cars. You will need enough insurance to cover the truck AND the car you are towing, you will need to know the laws around it (max charges etc...) I have towed cars but have never owned a company. I thought about it for a while but unless you can get into repossessions and roadside assistance, to take up the slack for when you don't have someone ringing you, you might want to consider how you can generate revenue outside of "hey my car broke down".
  10. Sounds like you owe your son $100
  11. I travel so much my wife bought a big 10 x 12 world map and I put pins in wherever I have been. This year I will probably finish the year with 155k miles flown.
  12. So far this year I have flown 125,000 miles and have stayed over 100 nights in hotels. I put everything I can into United and Hilton with National Rental Car as my car. I just booked 4 tickets to Maui for $40 (taxes) for next July and I have 2 of the nights covered in the Waldorf Astoria, Maui. If you concentrate on it, this can be a great way to have some great vacations for loyalty. This month I am in Minneapolis, Boston, San Francisco, Seattle, Vegas and then I go to Hong Kong, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur and Manila in Nov.
  13. Forgot they changed the name. Basically you put out a request and some guy in a 3rd world country bids on it.
  14. Can you show his ipconfig here? Windows says stuff like "good" and "Internet", we need real information to help you. Is it getting an IP, can you ping local network or Internet devices?
  15. I am not really interested. I go to vegas for business 3 or 4 times per year. I have lost a total of about $20. Not a gambler.
  16. So there are a couple of places around but what you want is a guy that has worked on cars since the 70's, that guy has fixed this before. Cole at Taylor Tire has worked on my bug in the past and fits the profile. I converted from 4 wheel drum to 4 wheel disc brakes.
  17. If you click, it renders. Right click and download.
  18. Change your DNS to a known good server like 4.1.1.1 or 198.6.1.2
  19. I bring gas cans with me because my van is only 18 gallons, I fill the other 10 into my cans (that I purchased at giant eagle's gas station)
  20. Its a pre-sorry o, they already said they were sorry when you got it. XP reports erroneous wifi signal strength but that probably isn't it. Are you getting an IP address or are you getting a 169.x.y.z address?
  21. I have a 70 beetle. I put a 98 motor in mine. They leak from 4 places, push rod tubes, cooler gaskets, oil drain, valve covers. Figure out where it is coming from first. Probably the cooler or covers. Either way you can fix all of it without pulling the engine. Pulling the engine takes about 10 minutes.
  22. Interesting, I am curious to see if the GE card works at K via the self check. That would be hilarious.
  23. I can do it, piece of cake. I certified micro-miniature soldering in the Navy and did loads of work when I got out at an electronics assembly plant.
