I think at that point it would be kind of stupid NOT to pull it apart and rebuild it. Unless it's a cheap beater, then run some seafoam or something through it and be done.

 

That's pretty good. My neighbor ran her brand new (95'?) toyota camry to almost 30k miles on the original oil until her motor locked up. She was a doctor too.

I've read and heard from salesmen (yeah, no shit) the acids that build up in the oil can hurt the bearings. I'm not dumb and I know it's not going to eat through my top bearing layer, but I'm gonna change it anyway so I figure why not now.

 

I do like the MX4t, but don't like the $9.50/quart so much! I was hoping to find some sales, like I know ronayers does free shipping over $40 or something every now and again. Shit I wonder if I can find a drum of repsol 10w40?

I've always heard it's better not to let old oil sit in your bike over the winter, and I'll change it before I ride next year anyways so... Anybody know of any good deals on a good motorcycle oil around?

Shame on them. You should call and complain, and tell them if they don't want to have completely wasted their time they need to give you a quote at the very least. I can remember interviewing there years ago, and talked with many many people. They seemed kinda sketchy, and I'm glad it didn't work out. It was interesting to hear this from you.

Unlikely, perhaps if I disconnect the return line.

 

What was I thinking. Nothing consumes as much fuel as a busted I-5, not even a busted 454.

Maybe now you'll have a vehicle that gets worse mileage than mine. Ha!

Can you even find them for $10K

 

Nope, which is why I don't own one. Last I checked you could get an older one for under $30k, but F--- that. $10k I can afford, $30k not a chance.

Vipers are junk

 

They go fast around the track, and seem to hold up well enough. I wouldn't pay more than $10k or maybe $15k for one because I'm poor.

Man, those people must have all been hosting, because there wasn't any lag there. The intervention quick-scoping thing is kinda cheap, and the akimbo 1887's are super duper noobish. I'm not impressed.

I believe the climate is going to change hotter or colder naturally, without humans being a major factor.

 

Earthquakes and volcanic activity release more carbon dioxide and greenhouse gases than cars and factories do. Hell, cow farts do more damage than every piece of industrial machinery operating in America today.

 

If humans are to blame, get China and India to front most of the cap-and-trade cost on pollution...have you SEEN the crap they are putting into the air and water???

 

I have, but not first hand. I'm with you. Until the biggest offenders put up we shouldn't do jack squat. We're already so far ahead of the game the rest of the world should be giving us money! Pretty sure we already have more strict pollution laws than some of Europe.

You guys should've check my post a few down, thanksgiving day special. I've used palmetto state armory a few times, good company to deal with in my experience.

Sad day in America. The company that arguably kicked off the muscle car craze with the GTO is dead. Who know if/when it will ever come back? I assume the dealers and such will keep parts available for awhile.

 

They should bring Pontiac back in a few years as exclusive euro/Aus imports or something. That would be awesome.

He must have a book or movie coming out and he's trying to drum up the media.

Recommend helicopter. No? Okay.

Another time 4wd is great: getting through intersections. I can't even remember how many times awd saved my ass turning through an intersection when a jackass pulled out of a drive, ran a light, etc and I had to scoot NOW. That enough is worth it to me.

Well, this is Ohio and it snows. You can try as hard as you want, but I bet if I could magically convert your guys' FWD or RWD cars to AWD overnight you'd be happier with how it drove. No more sitting and spinning, no more fishtailing trying to climb driveways, etc. Of course it isn't going to cure stupid, but it will increase your driveability substantially, with small penalties in complexity, mpg, and weight.

I've been hearing about this. It was bound to happen, honestly.

That's not going to stop president osama from signing away our country in copenhagen though. Discuss.

After owning front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive, 4wd and awd, I can honestly say that awd is the best layout for nearly all types of driving. RWD sucks as you can't put 400 hp down in the wet, and forget going fast in the snow! FWD is like joe swanson from family guy, minus the wheelchair. 4wd doesn't like turning on pavement, so awd pwns.

Done. I actually prefer to create a file named barack obama and then shred it. Shredding it is more satisfying than deleting it, to me anyway. Good one.

nice grill. Yeah, it's quattro season now for sure! It was great being the only person on the road on the way to work out here. Except for the space shuttle, which I totally pwned.

Very interesting to hear, thanks for sharing. Stay safe and stay warm.

This is where "they don't make them like they used to" applies...

 

The materials used today are not near what they were in that era.

 

That's sad. You would think with better metallurgy and all our advanced coatings we could get some cheap truck frames that would last awhile.

If anyone wants some p mags for their AR, palmetto state armory has them for $10 each right now. Black only.

Been there done that. Takes too much energy, and I feel guilty afterwards.

Accepting pwnage, and withholding a comeback, I am forced to check you as the pwned.
