I don't understand why the dude has to be such a drama queen. You don't need to ask to be banned. "Do me a favor and ban me" lol give me a break. Why not log yourself out and don't log back in? Or just don't come back to the website? Seems pretty simple to me.

I have four sinks, brand new in box, that I bought from work for $20. I don’t need them but figure someone on here might? They are a bit shallow so idk. I had no intention of using these myself or trying to flip them for a profit, I’m just hoping I can pass a good deal along and at least get my $20 back lol. MCALLISTER (I have two of these)… https://www.sterlingplumbing.com/product-detail/11406?skuid=11406-NA SOUTHHAVEN… https://www.sterlingplumbing.com/product-detail/11404-4?skuid=11404-4-NA MIDDLETON… https://www.sterlingplumbing.com/product-detail/14633-4?skuid=14633-4-NA Take all four sinks for a total of $20. Not gonna separate, just take all four of them. Pickup in Hilliard near 270. Thanks!

I haven't really done any prep yet, mainly since I think I already pay enough attention to the NFL throughout the year, including the draft and offseason. I'll do a little reading tomorrow or Friday just to get an idea of what the "experts" are thinking, and so I'll know what to expect as far as where players are typically being drafted. I've been playing FF since 1997, and nowadays I only do one league. It's a 12-team PPR (thru ESPN) with a bunch of guys who used to work together at Lowe's years ago. $30 entry per person, league champ takes the whole pot. All of us have moved on from Lowe's, but we still have kept the league going and it's an absolute blast. Everyone is competitive, and lots of shit talking. Our draft is this Saturday at the Casino; 97.1 The Fan holds a big draft party there with a bunch of tables set up for each league, and we really enjoyed it last year so we're back again this year. Our league is a bit unique. It's basically a two QB league, well technically it's one QB slot and one "offensive player" but it's very beneficial to use a 2nd QB in that spot since our custom scoring rewards QB's a little more than the default. Here's the roster breakdown: QB RB RB RB/WR WR WR WR TE FLEX OP K D/ST Bench Bench Bench Bench Bench Bench IR Here's the best part, it's a keeper league. You can keep up to four players a year if you want, as long as they were drafted the year before, and they are kept for a round earlier than the year prior. Add another round for each additional year kept. For example, I drafted Mahomes in the 10th round two years ago. I kept him last year for a 9th, I'm keeping him this year for a 7th, I'll keep him next year for a 4th, and then I can't keep him again after that. It adds another layer of strategy, and rewards good drafting, especially if you grab a gem late in the draft. I drafted Juju Smith-Schuster in the 16th round a couple years back when he was a rookie, so I'll be reaping the benefits for many years. Also you can keep players that were drafted by OTHER teams too, so there's usually some big deals before the trade deadline when you have shitty teams trading a really good player to a playoff contending team that's willing to give up someone with potentially high keeper value. It really adds extra incentive since everyone is always playing for something, even if it's "next year". I know that sounds nerdy and complicated, but you pick it up really quick, and it's so much fun that I don't have any interest in doing any other leagues anymore. I've made the playoffs 7 out of my 8 years in the league, but unfortunately for me, have no titles to show for it. I'm 0-3 in the championship game, and I have really shitty luck with my 1st round picks (which are always late in the 1st). For example, I drafted Leveon Bell last year (and didn't draft James Conner). Still kicking myself for that one.

^ LOL, your gifs always give me a good laugh. Thanks guys, I appreciate the compliments. It's a shame this truck has so much damn rust on the body. But still looks decent enough, and hasn't even cracked 90k miles yet.
-
I polished my wheels, and gave the truck a quick bath. I also swapped the front end a couple weeks ago, ditched the Cheyenne (W/T) grille/lights for a Silverado quad setup. For reference, the first pic is from a couple years ago, second pic is today.....
-
^ Very nice. You got that truck looking perfect

What to do with vehicles with over 200,000 miles.

What's the other car besides the Equinox? -
Lololololol Perfect response
-
That looks great :thumbup:
-
For a daily, it's pretty damn cool IMO. A lot better than a V6 Durango
-
Excellent choice, congrats! Killer deal too
-
Blast from the past lol. I thought I clicked on a thread from like 2014 for a minute

Mental illness is a crazy thing. I think anyone willing to take their own life is clearly not in the right frame of mind

OK, so help me out here, I feel like a moron because I can't seem to figure anything out on my own lately..... When I bought the car last year, the guy I bought it from said it might need a clutch soon, because it's "hard to get in first" sometimes. Seemed to shift fine, so I bought it. After I had it for a couple weeks, one day it would stall if you shifted into first too quickly, like the clutch wasn't disengaging all the way. But if you shifted into first slowly, it was fine. Then a few days later, leaving work it wouldn't go into ANY gear whatsoever with the engine running. I got it home by rev matching and basically floating gears, and really needing to force it into every gear along the way. The car sat in the street a few weeks, then when I moved it to the driveway, it was still acting up. If you started the car in gear it would creep forward while the clutch pedal was still pressed to the floor. So yeah, I was thinking the slave was shot and it needed a clutch, because something with the hydraulics was clearly fucked. Fast forward until today. I decided to move it back to the street, and to my surprise, it went into gear with ease. The fucking thing has been sitting for nine months, and now it's going into gear? So I took it out for a drive around the neighborhood, and it shifted like butter. Went back home. Took the car out again a few minutes later, went on some higher speed roads and really let it rip. It's shifting great and the clutch pedal feels nice. WTF?
-
Very nice! That grille looks 10x better :thumbup: I love what you're doing with this truck
-
A mechanic I know told me it's "a few hours" for a clutch job on a Cobalt and I believed him
-
Yeah, I'm just surprised/disappointed, it's my own fault for not researching this platform before I bought the car
-
Damn. I never figured a clutch replacement for a Cobalt would be more labor intensive than an S10 or Camaro I'll probably just sell the car as it sits for whatever I can get. Not worth fixing if it's that much IMO
-
I have a 2007 Cobalt (actually it's a Pontiac G5, same thing though) 2.2L with a 5-speed trans. 121k miles. It needs a new clutch, the car won't go into gear when the engine is running, so possibly an issue with the slave? I've called a few shops and they are quoting $1000+ for a basic clutch job. Here's the weird thing, they say the '08+ is about half the labor (4 hrs vs 7.5 for the 05-07) according to the book, which makes no sense to me. Regardless, I don't wanna pay a thousand bucks to fix a cheap car that I really don't even care about. Any ideas? Anyone know someone who they would recommend?

Great suggestion. Very underrated sedan IMO

^ fucking wonderful. What a badass looking car
