    Forum acting wacky

    Wal Mart - Let the buyer beware - and be alert - half price charcoal

    We decided to barbeque today, so late yesterday I checked the charcoal supply...and there was none!:rolleyes: So bright and early this morning, off to Wal mart. It was great, hardly anyone in the store. I go to the garden section and right inside the door is a pallet of Kingsford charcoal with...

    Craigslist - I'm either stupid or blind

    I want to post in the "free stuff" category, but when I log in to my account and go to post an ad, I can't find that category anywhere. I have the category bookmarked to watch for free stuff, but how do you post to it??:confused::confused::confused::redface::redface::redface:

    Tilt trailer - is this a concern?

    I bought this 1987 tilt trailer last year and noticed the way the front half & back half are hooked together. Essentially there is only one 1/2" bolt holding the front and rear halves together and when towing, it seems that bolt would bear the full load. Is this common? My other tilt trailer...

    Specific - Anyone installed a sound system in an 02 Impala?

    I pulled my sound system when I got rid of my "old" car, and now have inherited my wife's 02 Impala. In doing some research, one thing I see is that I need a $100 adapter to maintain warning chimes function because they play thru the speakers. I'm working on a budget & I wonder if there are any...

    Car rust issue - how unusual is it?

    I was out car shopping today & test drove a 2006 GM model. There are a number of very small rust blemishes along the trunk where the trim is. How unusual is that for an '06? I have the same model from 2002, and just this year at 9 years, is showing some rust in the usual places - rocker panels...

    Anyone know current scrap steel prices? (cars)

    That says it all. I thought I'd start here & am doing some local research too. I will be needing to scrap my 96 Lumina soon, I had another thread about it not passing NY inspection, and it didn't! :D

    Who knows about NY car safety inspections?

    I discovered yesterday that I somehow missed having my car inspected by the end of December. I'm usually on top of that sort of thing even with 4 vehicles in the family to keep track of. So I made an appointment to get it inspected on Monday. The trouble is that the "Service Engine Soon" light...

    Class 2 hitch brands

    I don't want to open any sort of Ford/Chevy can of worms or anything, but let's say...what are the most popular brands of hitches? I'm looking to buy a 2005 or 06 Chev. Impala and need to look into this first. I've always used U Haul myself and have been satisfied and pleased with the results &...

    What I found to do while I was waiting - fixed up bike

    It's a good thing we come up with other projects to keep our cabin fever in check while we wait for boating weather or even weather good enough to work on the boat. Here's a little side project that's been keeping me occupied, aside from two weeks of the flu :mad:. Pretty much over it now, it...

    Zinc Chromate question for those who have painted

    For anyone who has stripped to the bare aluminum and sprayed with zinc chromate primer....how many cans did you have to use? From what I've read, you just need a very light coat. I'm getting ready to order my paint supplies. Thanks.

    Would this compressor be OK for HVLP paint gun?

    I'm really totally lost and know nothing about this subject, even though I've been reading threads & researching online. I'll be painting my project (alum. Starcraft in my signature) in the spring and am considering spraying, but I don't anticipate that I'll use a compressor much beyond that...

    What do you use to glue Plexiglass?

    Two-fold question... Are vintage 60's windshields likely made of Plexiglass? Mine is about 1/8" thick and has a chip out of the corner, about 1" square--I have the piece. Second, what kind of glue would be used to glue it back in? Please don't say "silicone", this is a boat!!:D

    Anyone else having trouble linking to Photobucket images?

    It seems that the look of Photobucket changed recently and I'm having trouble copying the code needed to link to photos. In my album, I mouse over the thumbnail and the different code options come up as usual. I click in the appropriate field to get it highlighted, then right-click on that...

    Really bummed out

    I mentioned in other posts that I was fortunate enough to be able to take an early retirement in September, and I've been having a blast in every way, no regrets. But today, a former co-worker friend called me and told me that the employer is eliminating our unit and everyone got pink slips...

    Forum acting weird or is it me?

    I'm still not getting notification emails for threads I'm watching, except I got a couple yesterday for one thread but none of the others. Also, tonight when I'm trying to post, the smilies aren't working. Either using the keyboard or the "Smilies" icons in the WYSIWYG mode, it still comes out...

    1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Real nice job on that transom. I'm glad mine is a little shaver compared to what a lot of you guys have to do. I feel like a sports car among sedans. I'm recycling my rub rail insert, at least for now. The stuff's so darn expensive, you want to...
