  1. About an inch here if that. What happened to the 12-18 they were calling for?
  2. You win this thread. ^
  3. It farted flurries here a few times, I thought we were slated for like a foot..... Snowmageddon LOL!
  4. I'll be heading back from the mountains of PA straight into this. Morons fail, but i'll be having fun.
  5. I thought I was the only one..... http://static.ddmcdn.com/gif/1950-1959-ford-trucks-26.jpg Mid 50's Ford, but i'd want STUPID power in it. Turbo LSx making like 1000 wheel, but make the truck look all "normal". I'm not a big fan of the chopped and slammed look people normally do to these.
  6. I typically buy them when they hit $30 or less. Still got a couple extra sitting here.
  7. A dealer pulled that on me a while back, I called the cops to report a theft. That about shit and magically found my keys and let me leave right away.
  8. I loved working R&D, we got to break shit all day and get paid for it. Nothing like taking a Magnum v8 to 10k+ and waiting till it flies apart!
  9. I've been to nearly every Chrysler facility east of the Mississippi. Unfortunately, some of them were very specific trips so I didn't have time to get to know the operations, hence my lack of knowledge on Toledo. My main area was Michigan and Wisconsin, which is ironic since Toledo was so close. I used to do a lot of work for GM and Ford in Michigan, Ohio and Kentucky as well. I spent a lot of time at the GM Tech Center, that place was fucking cool. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Motors_Technical_Center All I can say is, I really prefer not to work automotive ever again. Though, I still get the occasional call for work I don't do as much in automotive as I used to. I really don't miss it, though it's neat watching raw material come in then a car roll out.
  10. His facebook page has also confirmed it.
  11. I didn't realize there was another Cherokee assembly plant, I used to work at JNAP. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jefferson_North_Assembly I also used to work at Mack I and I commissioned Mack II. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mack_Avenue_Engine_Complex I also did work at Sterling Stamping http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sterling_Heights_Assembly And Kenosha Engine http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenosha_Engine Those robots are everywhere and some are pretty cool. Many plants have autonomous robots that pick up finished pieces and deliver raw materials and parts for machining and assembly. Really a neat process.

  13. I prefer 1" cuts or thicker, gas grill on full blast and let it get as hot as possible. Season to whatever you prefer on both sides. I like Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning on mine, the wife prefers seasoned salt or regular salt/pepper/garlic powder. Put meat on after grill is fully heated, steaks as close to room temp as possible. Grill until the top surface just starts to turn color (3-5mins usually) then flip. Another 3-5 minutes then remove from heat and let sit at least 5-10 minutes. This is a good medium rare to medium usually, add about a minute or two per side for medium to medium-well. If you prefer well done, throw the steak in the trash after cooking since it's already ruined.
  14. I need to find it, but i'll let you know when/if I do.
  15. I'm going to go against the grain and say get a stick welder. If you can get good at that, the rest should come easy. I learned on stick and once I got decent at that, mig was a cake walk and tig wasn't so bad.

  17. Your MS paint gets an F for no porn on the tv.

    referral link LOL
  19. Craigslist I got a nice MAC for $20, came with a brand new chain in the box, spare used chain, case and tools.
  20. I believe he called, I don't think they called him back. He's still looking but for some reason the Flex fetches a premium in Alabama. They are (on average) 4-5k cheaper here so if he can get the details worked out, he plans to fly in and drive it back. Problem is, many places just don't want to deal with all his questions and concerns.
  21. This ^ or cruise craigslist looking for similar offers. Maybe ebay too.
