  1. I have a Tekonsha P3 that has been used on only a few trips. It was never installed in the trucks I had. I have no plan in a foreseeable future to get another truck, so the brake controller is for sale. Let me know when you're ready to get one.
  2. Indeed. I think it's about being new in the automotive world. I still remember the days when I loved the Toyota 2F engine in FJ-40; a very simple 4.2l OHV I6 naturally-aspirated with a 3600-rpm redline and a modest 120ish hp output. Today, an FJ-40 is crude, too simple, and borderline annoying to drive
  3. In 2004, I had a '95 Talon TSi AWD, a '95 LS400, a '98 Amigo S V6 4WD, and a '3 Z06. Today, I have a '18 Stinger GT, a '12 Avalon Limited, a '11 370Z Sport, a '8 Z06, a '7 Matrix M Theory Edition, and a '5 325Xi Touring (manual).
  4. I have no man's cave and my 2-car garage is bursting at the seams with 3 cars stuffed in it, nothing to write home about.
  5. Me too! 255/40/19 or 245/40/19 or 265/35/19 would work too
  6. Wow Once in a long while, I run across an owner with such an affinity for the vehicle. I have a certain kind of respect toward such people :thumbup:
  7. Just about any Discount Tire store will program new TPMS sensors for free. The process takes very little time and effort on a GMT900 with a proper tool. There's another way, but it takes longer to do.
  8. Check Laura Buick GMC in St Louis if you didn't mind the drive.
  9. My list would be long and I can't remember all.
  10. I like what I saw :thumbup::thumbup: Keep that beard off intense heat I happen to know a beard that caught fire while forging ...
  11. I go with front to back to minimize feathering; this pattern is for my rear-biased AWD car that have unidirectional, equally-constructed sidewalls, symmetrical tread, and non-staggered sizes. All of my RWD cars have staggered sizes and their tires are rotated side to side which may involve flipping the tires if needed to maximize tread life. I now have a couple of FWD cars that got me thinking about a different rotation pattern which will be dictated by the feathering pattern if any. In the case of your Civic, it seems that there is no mechanical advantage of rotating them since they all have uniform wear pattern. Keep them away from damage, keep them balanced, and keep them aired right.
  12. That's what I have. The faucet is inside the garage and yet it's rated for outside use. I wouldn't do it, the splicing creates some funky backflow problem; the hot water line must be kept closed when not in use and that means going back and forth into the basement.
  13. Pirelli PZero 255/40/19 96W Quantity 3 New take-off due to a mistake in ordering. They were installed and they have under 50 miles. Full tread depth. $400 for all 3 or $150 each.
  14. I suppose the number could be calculated roughly by dividing the total weight of the raw material by an average weight of an anvil. I'd guess about half of your number. There are probably about 1.5 tons of material and each anvil weighing roughly half a ton. With proper heat treatment, the alloying components in the material will lend themselves to a high toughness level. It was designed to flex and to withstand impact loading to start.
  15. I sometimes wonder how many anvils could be made out of the pile of springs that Sxott has.
  16. My interviewer had to check on the answer to the location of the Statue of Liberty when I answered with, "Hudson River" first then "New York City". I just smiled. During study leading to the interview, I gave little quizzes to friends who were born in the US. Most, if not all, of them would have failed
