  1. GasBuddy helps me find stations that don't have a huge spread like that. There's a couple stations around Tuttle that are usually 0.40 difference.
  2. Can you post up some pictures of it?
  3. More taxes, great...... I guess it's a fair trade to pay a little more for fuel and not have to run a front plate. Does this mean that vehicle registrations will be less too? Seems like it's more since we have to pay for two plates, but it's been a while since I've had to register a car in a different state. Also think it's funny to see that electric vehicles will have to pay a flat fee.
  4. Just slap a helmet on them and get them into the sport!
  5. Great suggestion. I didn't know they were so cheap now. *Didn't see this one is a rebuild. Still a good suggestion if you can find a straight one.
  6. Interesting. The reason I want to get it checked as I don't remember this being an issue last winter, as well as it's been enough time that it hasn't worked it seems that I now have a fully defrosted 15 lb. turkey.
  7. Probably the best place to ask this. Does anyone have a recommendation for fridge repair, or does anyone on here to it? The freezer on my garage fridge seems to not be working and I'd like to see if it's beneficial to get it fixed or not.
  8. I know they had to heavily modify the nose, but it's still unbelievable they got it to fit. Can't wait to see it run and see how it can handle all that power.
  9. There's two points to consider: 1. No one cares about driving anymore. It's become a necessary evil for most. People do it out of the need to survive and the less involved they have to be, the better for them. Look at the youth. I can't tell you how many of my younger family members could care less about driving. When I turned 16 in 2000, I couldn't wait to get my license as it meant social freedom. Now, kids can video chat with a small group without leaving their houses. Hell, my wife's younger cousins only got their licenses because their parents got tired of having to drive them everywhere. 2. Automatics have gotten A LOT better. There's more gears for efficiency, plus they shift a lot faster and smoother than the old four/five-speeds. Driving my wife's ancient CR-V compared to the CX-5 we're looking at is a night and day difference. Smoother, much quicker to react, no hunting. The end is nigh people, especially with manufacturers pushing forward with automated driving.

  11. Bitcoin. Or black at the roulette table.
  12. Flex EcoBoost! A tune away from a 400+ horse, 450+ torque monster.
  13. What do most of you guys do? I see a few put in what they do. I love my job about 80% of the time. I became the Internet manager 3 years ago and it's a much better experience not being strictly commission-based anymore. Byers is a great company overall and I've got some good, stand-behind-you bosses that I didn't have when I worked at MAG. I'm also spear-heading some new ideas to help us grow. It's nice to see your concepts starting to come to life. I also love Ford. They make some kick-ass products (genuinely mean this too). Because of the loyalty that Ford owners have, I've got a long list of life-long customers that have become friends of my family and won't buy or deal with anyone else but me. The downsides is it's become a mad race to the bottom. Everyone is cutting everyone else's throats. "Transparency" and "Automated" are also words that everyone throws around and demands us to be, and even when that's all in place, it still isn't good enough. The funniest thing about all of this is I went to school for journalism and this job is a lot more fun, rewarding and fulfilling than most of the journalism jobs I had before.
  14. Looks like they took two of those foldable alarm clocks you wind up, put them in the dash and say, "Man that looks groovy".
  15. Looks awesome. Why the bag route again though?

    Firewood

    I see you're in Dublin. A buddy of mine cut down a bunch of ash trees a few years ago and kept all the wood. He lives between Bethel and W. Case off Godown. I can reach out to him if you have a way to pick it up. I don't know if he has a truck still, but I can put you in touch at least.

    Taxes

    Should get a couple grand back this year again. Thank god for the kid. Kinda nervous about filing in 2020 though as our household income will jump up quite a bit with my wife's job.
