    Are you going to get a special mask too? How about your date? That is a good idea! Maybe I should have brought my mask and came out of a dressing room screaming. Wait... you wear a mask?

    http://cabotgun.com/...t-grade-pistol/ So much for low cost of ownership. Que? We have an XC90. It's been uber cheap. 60,000 with not a single repair. Curious why you know differently. In a recent (Edmunds I think) report Volvo was listed as having one of the highest cost of ownership (from general maintenance, repair, fuel, and insurance costs) per mile driven over the course of 2 years among all major brands sold in the US. Believe it or not Hyundai was listed as the lowest.

    Most accessories are killed during cranking for voltage reasons. Initially it was done to prevent voltage and current losses to the starter motor in the case of a cold or weak battery. Today it reduces voltage losses and spikes that could damage fine circuitry in the vehicles computer controls and other electrical devices. The "thingy" is called a diode. It does not maintain voltage on the line after the diode, it simply resists backfeed on the circuit. It is typically used in rectifiers to convert AC voltage to DC voltage (think of an alternator).

  7. We already give $20 a month to St Jude's. It is one of the charities that we feel is worthwhile. We will also purchase a ticket on Friday, and if we are fortunate enough to win, we will donate the item, and said proceeds back to you to give back to St. Jude's. Best wishes for you and your family. I mod a couple forums and own a forum myself. I will share this in all forums I can. She is a cutie pie. Congrats on beating the odds thus far. I am certain this little darling will provide you with happiness beyond your imagination.

    You jest, but sadly the poor spending and poor credit habits of our country is forcing the majority of Americans into just that scenario. I guess I was lucky I got all that shit and the keeping up with the Jones's attitude out of my system early.

    I have owned big beautiful houses. I decided this is my last house before retirement. This is the smallest house I have owned, and least flashy of the bunch. It has what I wanted, plus an inground pool. It took me a little too long to realize that a house is what you make of it. Buy too big, or too expensive, and you become a slave to it. I used to give a shit what people thought of my houses and cars. Now, I don't give a fuck. I have no car payments, and my house payments are less then my cheapest rental house's rent. I shovel my money into retirement. Character gains you nothing, but it costs a lot. Buy cheap, buy just what you need, and retire wealthy.

    Didn't watch it yet, but if they give the AK the nod that ain't saying much. Yeah, you can drop an AK in mud and it'll still fire, and fire well, but I owner a Romanian AK, and it was the biggest POS weapon I have ever owned. Bought it for $125 and sold it for $500 though, so no complaints there.

    I agree. It is likely the module. I know you replaced it, but you want the Motorcraft module, not an aftermarket unit. I remember that the manuals listed the incorrect number for years, not sure if it is still that case, but just be sure you have the right unit. If it is missing bad enough it could have sooted the new O2. So you might want to warranty that, but you need to keep in mind that the O2 reads oxygen in the exhaust, not fuel. If you have a misfire O2 and fuel will increase in the exhaust flow. The )2 sensor will read the high O2 content, and it ignores the excessive fuel.

    I fucking love mine. I have been using them for years. Last year I bought their master set (PPKIT03), with short/open circuit tester, the PPIII, and all adapters. I use it almost every single day. It has simplified diagnosis by a ton. I looked at the Hook, but really didn't see it being worth the extra money.

    Damn good motors. I am not a fan of Cadillacs at all. IMO it seems rather odd that a Caddy is using a Chevy powerplant. But it is a huge step up from their last 20 years of bullshit engines. I hate the 4.1/4.5/4.9 motors and the Northstars are no better.

    <--- has never met a redneck with a $1200 coffee grinder or a $600 juicer who eats miso soup. <--- also currently lives deep in redneck territory. What about a redneck with a $1200 grill and a $600 AK? Wait, shit. I can see a redneck with an expensive grill and an AK... But damn, you guys take the fun out of sarcasm. If I was serious I would have said "you are no redneck you fuckin cocksucker". It's the hop, much more fun to expound. <--- has never met a redneck with a $1200 coffee grinder or a $600 juicer who eats miso soup. <--- also currently lives deep in redneck territory.

    Impeach? For breaking what law? Aside from a little blow? Inhibiting the right to bear arms. The Brady Bill ring a bell? His executive order will not overstep any law previously passed by Congress and validated by the Supreme Court. I hate Obama more then the next guy, but reality is reality. He cannot be tried for coke use 20 years ago, and he will pass an executive order that has already been allowed in the past. Sadly, the law is the law. We cannot change it just to suit our desires.

    Assuming they were all good to begin with (well maintained) I'm not sure, but either way I'll get new batts for free. gotta love Sears! Go work for them and I guarantee that sentiment will quickly change! I worked as a tech for monkey wards, probably the same idea.Let me rephrase that, gotta love the warranty on batteries at sears. All 4 tested bad cant find my recepit and they cant pull up the purchase history Should be a born on date melted into the batteries
