  1. I heard if you use BP, your engine will fall out of the car and murder your family.

     

    See this is how poor rumors start....That's only their regular grade. Their premium is more refined and will slip in and out like a ninja killing your family...you will never even know it has happened until it's too late. ;)

     

    I'm usually split 50/50 between UDF (MOBIL) premium and Shell V Power, depending on who is cheaper at the moment. I have never had gas related issues using either, so that's enough proof for me.

  2. I have TW with their 15 package. I used to have WOW, but got stood up on two service calls for issues I was having. So I switched to TW and only got internet, no cable. I had no issues with my WOW internet, just my DVR cable box. I complained enough to TW about wanting to switch to their service so they gave me the 15 pkg guaranteed for 3 years at the price of 40/mo.

     

    TW is OK, but not great. I had much more consistency with WOW. My TW works fine probably 50% of the time. Other times the bandwidth is all over the place. I will be streaming Netflix one night and it will be fine. The next it will rebuffer every few minutes because of speeds changing. According to TW, everything is fine on my end and theirs. They say it is a Netflix issue or a random happening. It happens anytime I try and watch anything streaming on the computer too. Especially YouTube.

     

    I will probably switch back to WOW pretty soon.

  3. 1999 Dodge Ram 4X4 1500 5.2 Gas Engine - 184,xxx+ hard heavy boat towing miles - Towing I see about 8 mpg on a good day. Normal driving, not towing, It does about 10-12. It hasn't seen daily driver duty in several years, except for snow, and has been amazing. It will sometimes sit for weeks or a month or two at a time and always fires right up. Some normal suspension stuff wearing out and one water pump, and normal maintenance. It's been awesome considering what I put it through.

     

    I would drive it anywhere. Needs tires though. As much as I love the truck, an upgrade is coming soon. I will be doing a Escalade EXT (the truck/Avalanche one) in the spring or summer.

  4. Looking good. When you plan on test running?

     

    It's kind of a relief not having to worry about getting mine ready finally. Can't wait for spring!! I'm ready to log some hours!

     

    I can't wait to see some pics of the engines! Keep'em coming.

  5. NO ONE TO REBUTTAL TO THE CONTRARY WITH THEIR OWN PERSONAL EXPERIENCE THAT AMERICAN BUILD QUALITY IS GOOD ON NEW VEHICLES. THE ONLY THING THAT WAS SAID WAS BLAH BLAH BLAH 350Z SUCKS.

     

    Dodge Ram 1500 (Gas Engine - not Diesel) - 184,xxx+ hard boat towing miles. One water pump and normal maintenance.

     

    Hardly poor quality....

  6. Just wanted to say thanks to Kevin. I took him my wifes BMW X5 after the door handle stopped opening the drivers door. It was a pain in the ass having to hold the remote to open the window every time to get in.

     

    He had it figured out quick and repaired just as quick. Also hooked me up on with a great price on the part from MAG and a AMAZING deal on the labor. Even touched up a stone chip on the hood for me!!

     

    Thanks again Kevin!

  7. would love to see the look on a cops face when he walked up to your car after pulling you over. o_0

     

     

    looks good.

     

    HA HA. Hand him your license through the bars :)

     

    LOL Then see if he would bother giving you a ticket for not wearing a seat belt.

     

    Cage looks good.

  8. They COULD afford it, there were problems with the mom's development during pregnancy so she was put on bedrest. Her job didn't have FMLA or short term disability (office manager of a small Dr's office, go figure) so her only option was to quit. They lost like 40k in income. He is finishing his degree and already works like 60 hours per week.

     

    Sorry, just read this. I edited my post.

     

    I thought FMLA was a law? Doesn't every employer have to honor this? I've never been somewhere that didn't have it, so I don't know if true or not.

  9. Difficult pregnancy

     

    I'm not dogging your friends here. I know hind sight is always 20/20, but for other people reading this...This is why short term/long term disability insurance is well worth the cost. You just never know when something could go wrong.

     

    My wife had complications with our son also, I know how hard it is on the family. I almost lost my wife and son in one day. This insurance came in handy for us and made our life much easier to focus on getting them healthy and not stressing on bills.

     

    Good luck to your friends. I hope everything turns out ok for them.

     

     

     

    Edit: Just read your friend didn't have the option for the disability insurance. My statement still goes for others out there that do. If your employer doesn't offer it, look into another carrier if possible, or get supplemental. One occurrence like this and it more then pays for itself.

  10. I think Slowbalt's only purpose on this forum is to provide counter points to common sense and agitate the masses.

     

    100% accurate. Anybody needing examples take note of the majority of the threads he actually posts in.

     

    Troll is a bit of an understatement....

  11. I have Norton 360 on my 3 main computers. No issues at all.

     

    I have a fourth computer, a laptop for my VROD tuner/garage. I would like to get something free for it that's good. Its a older Compaq Presario 1200 With a 473mhz AMD-K6 3D processor and 156 MB RAM. What would one recommend for this laptop that's free? It does see some basic internet occasionally when I'm working in the garage.
