    Rigid Tool Boxes on sale

    By all means, tell any employee that will listen. But tell the manager for sure. Ask for the manager and have the patience to wait for them to arrive. Then let them know. Another employee isn't the boss of the other employees, they are equals. The manager, now we are talking about someone...

    Rigid Tool Boxes on sale

    I hate to see anyone out of work except those who don't do their jobs. That lazy, rude employee deserves to be out of work. If he was scared of heights or something, he could have asked another employee to get it for you. There is a distinct lack of good customer service going around, and it...

    Stink in stored duffles, best way to get rid of bad odors?

    Throw a skunk in there. Then wash it out with tomato juice? I'm with @billiebob (and everyone else) on this one. Except the mountain climbing part. That's scary.

    3.5 or 3.7 for a full sized transit van?

    3.5 vs 3.7 It most seems like we are talking about Nissan VQ's here

    3.5 or 3.7 for a full sized transit van?

    First, most expensive thing to "go" on a turbo engine is.. the turbo. And I have heard you need higher octane? Just seems not for me

    What to know before buying used Subaru Outback?

    Great post on so many levels. Not the least of which is ending up in a Tahoe to enjoy driving

    Ford Maverick TREMOR coming soon ?????? (no joke!)

    You don't have to option up a Mav to 40. The dealers are doing it with the stroke of a pen. 27k machines marked up by 15k "market adjustment " around here

    Got Scammed by SAMUE

    Oddly, the more machines and computers take over, the more human interaction is needed to confound those who would exploit the technology

    Does Anyone Actually Use Their House Water for Drinking?

    Okay, this is what I was always told. What did W. C. Fields say? "I don't drink water. Fish ******k in it." Well, they poop in it too. Bird guano lands on top of ponds. Frogs and other animals in and out. Sometimes an animal will die while crossing water, or along the edge of it and rot...

    Does Anyone Actually Use Their House Water for Drinking?

    Well, whether it be boiling, distilling, some sort of filtering or a combo. The way it was posed to me was that bacteria from excrement or dead animals or other ways. Would leach or be passed directly into lake or river water. Making it potentially unsafe. One of the people who fostered that...

    Does Anyone Actually Use Their House Water for Drinking?

    I always heard that drinking surface water without some sort of treatment was not a good idea. I'm I wrong about that?

    Ford Maverick TREMOR coming soon ?????? (no joke!)

    I was looking at XLT models this past weekend. At least as it stands now, itll probably be xlt at 28k (or more depending on your chosen options) PLUS 15k. Tremor package $2995 PLUS something K because they can, same for appearance package. Based on a 15k markup on a 32k truck, I'd estimate 40 to...

    Does Anyone Actually Use Their House Water for Drinking?

    We use a filter system, so yes

    Ford Maverick TREMOR coming soon ?????? (no joke!)

    Yes. I was at a large local dealer of some clout this past weekend. The 6 Mavs they had (and nobody else around has any) all were AWD with some options, all on the sticker, coming to about 32. Also on every sticker, hand written "Market Adjustment $15,000." No joke. So at $47k for a modestly...

    Ford Maverick TREMOR coming soon ?????? (no joke!)

    The world may never know. Because with fairly run of the mill Mavs clocking in at $32k PLUS a $15k "Market Adjustment, bend you over just because we can fee", I imagine the initial cost plus market adjustment for this would be prohibitive and push people to the Ranger for the money.

    What is gained by a gas 3/4-1 ton over 1/2 ton truck?

    My 8cyl gets about that mileage. Best 50 mile stretch got me to 25+ mpg. Best 400 miles is closer to your figure, maybe 1 or 2 mpg under it If you typically drive empty, why not? I looked at the 6 cyl and it has more hp than my 93 or 94 GMT400's, so they probably do fine as well, if not...

    GMT900 Overland build anyone?

    That's an 800, though. I hated them when they first came out but they grew on me
