  1. I have to agree after a bit of research that it is not an economical idea, because as you guys mentioned the 1000w $70 or 1500w $130 inverters are not enough to do what i need. i'll pick up a generator. i'd like to stay under $1000. I really dont want one from harbor frieght. but a honda is over $1000 for a small 2000w unit. Would like suggestions on a happy medium.]
  2. what is a good generator that wont let me down and is reasonable then? as i work for honda i'd like to buy one of there's but they are just too expencive.
  3. why would i be running an inverter off the car for my sump pump away from home? lol i'm not rworried about the crown vic altinator it has the big cop one
  4. As i research, people use a regular car battery as a sump pump backup all the time, just one i looked at will run a pump non-stop for 6 hours or 4 days intermittenly. Am i wrong to think by only running my pump and furnace that i would not have to idle or run the engine of the car continuously, maybe a couple hours a day.
  5. Instead of buying a generator, how feasible is it to just get a power inverter and hook it up to the car. All the power i need is to keep the furnace lit and the sump pump rolling. i know an idling v-8 is going to use some fuel but could an idling 4 cyl be pretty comparable to a generator? just wondering.
  6. your missing the point, you can park wherever you want
  7. think outside the box, you will never get caught in traffic if you dont want to be. Awesomeness on any surface. and you dont see them every day. $7500 spend the rest on fuel, be ready for the zombie apocolypse. I bring you . . . a bobbed duece. http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/miscellaneous/719365-big-4x4-sale-bobbed-deuce-49-tires-rockwells.html that one is most likely sold but they are out there, and they are fun/awesome.
  8. i'll look more into that i've heard about the balance shaft issue but didn't know what years. vic has 50k on it, rides nice. bring cash scott, lol.
  9. yeah looking for that too. I haven't heard anything bad about thier trannies from what i've been reading on the internet. But, i have read enough to realize they break down as much as any other car, it's no crown vic LOL.
  10. this: http://columbus.craigslist.org/ctd/3300288304.html 06 i think TDI Passat. probibly keeping the truck, for the 4wd, even though the crown vic is newer. it doubles our fuel economy of the vic and should last well. Any concerns with these? any coments welcome.
  11. good pick up. if the woman ain't happy, no one is happy.
  12. my son also knew what a turbo was at that age, and i don't own one. he's a big tractor pulling fan, so pointing out a turbo meains pointing in a general direction
  13. i'm so sorry i missed this, bet the air was awesome. maybe next year i'll schedule a vacation day for it.
  14. honda cars hold thier value, for good reason. The only thing i would stay away from is early 2000 automatic accords, like the 3800 GM cars the engines are bulletproof, but those tannies ar hit and misss.
  15. lemme know, it's an autometer. if you want ot text or talk 614-288-4223.
  16. willing to get rid of one of those pills for a few extra bucks?
  17. whoever baught the shift light, let me know what pills you know your not going to use, i may be interested in 1.
  18. Need a shift light pill for my light, if you have a 6200 rpm laying around i'll buy it. thanks.
  19. i'd think about running, but i don't see a point in going to the track if i dont' get a timeslip.
  20. i've been driving v-8 rwd vehicles in the winter since getting my license. From my expierience, having both rear wheels driving the vehicle is a mixed blessing. It helps you alot to get started at a stop sign or intersection but on the highway hitting a patch of ice on a limited slip/spool is going to bring the ass around quicker than anything. On the other hand, kit is a pain in the ass trying to get 1 wheel to get you going from a stop in heavy snow, but on the highway when you hit a patch of ice, the drive wheel will break traction and the left/dead one will help to keep the rear strieght. if the truck already has a limited slip and you weld it up, you will make it worse.
  21. I never knew my father, fuck him. My "dad" adopted me when i was two and he had married my mother. He never treated me any differently than my half brother & sister, and for that i am greatful. Personally, if you can't honestly see yourself with kids, don't ever get serious with a girl with them.
  22. Damn Tilley, didn't see you. Don't blame you for avoiding me. The red turd 4.6 went 12.91@107, spinning. I'm jealous of all you guys with your pretty trap speeds.
