I feel your pain! My kids complain that my garage is now like working on the surface of the sun - they complain that it is too bright. I bought LED lights from Summit that are the same size as fluorescent fixtures and they really do work great. I have 4 old fluorescent fixtures that are still in...

Hope you have a great one! :moparsmiley::usflag::bday::usflag::moparsmiley:

I have been hugely pissed many, many times when working on cars. However, since 95% is in my own garage, I have learned to simply walk away when I get pissed. I just set down whatever tool I have in my hand, shut out the lights and walk away. I have learned over the years that if I don't, bad...

Welcome from Pennsylvania, USA!

Well, we will see. They are actually still responding and (seemingly) trying to address the issue. Thanks. Yes, I had that on my old PC. But that doesn't stop ads that come through the operating system. I feel like I have done pretty well to protect my hearing, and quite frankly, haven't been...

You are right - there is no such thing as a lifetime office365 subscription. But 2021 was the last MS Office that could be purchased with a subscription key that never expires. That is what was supposed to come with my new PC.

So my 13 year old laptop just won't cut it any more, so finally broke down and bought a new laptop. <RANT ON> Rant Part 1: I'm so freaking tired of constantly being barraged by advertisements. :cursin: During the setup of this new PC, they try to get you to purchase cloud storage, Microsoft...

Yeah, and all kinds of AI crap too to shut down. Heck, maybe eventually AI will just respond for me on FBBO? :poke: WTF

Here's another vote for TTI. TTI's especially are good if you have any "B" big blocks (e.g. 383, 400). Since RB blocks like the 440 are taller, headers will fit differently, so just having "big block headers" often doesn't work well. TTI is one of the few companies that make different headers...

I never developed a taste for coffee, so I drink tea. Quite frankly, it's a pain in the arse because it is hard to get a good cup when traveling. A lot of times restaurants have green and herbal tea which I don't like. I want good ol' fashioned black tea. Anyway, my old laptop that was 13...

How cool is that! Continue to enjoy the ride! :thumbsup:

Your new springs will be 400# for a few days or running until they settle in to the upper 300s. Unless you really want to upgrade, I suggest you save your money. If you had a race car doing 7000 RPM and your springs were in the 500# range and up I'd worry about it, but for a street car I think...

Yes, definitely keep your vacuum advance - a car driven on the street needs vacuum advance to handle high vacuum, light throttle driving.

for some reason, only female cats ever have 3 colors - I've typically heard it called calico. You will almost never see a male cat with three colors

I know when I retired the change was massive for me. I was busy and juggling all life threw at me. I was extremely stressed with my job, and although it paid very well, I chose to retire for my own mental health and to lower my stress. It was really not a good financial decision, as I would have...
