Thanks El Chup.

920 effortless (trouble free) miles in 2 days. Red Rover roamin' round Upstate NY at 18mpg :) I wore out another set of front brake pads and the tires are only good on dry pavement...

1k horses in a 2200 pound car? I wanna play...

I saw that recently too. I lol'd.

920 miles in 2 days. 9 breweries, 2 distilleries, 1 weed store and a whole bunch of new (to me) places. 416900 I saw the coolest bike shop car in the state 416901...

Too many times you need to give it a bit extra to deal with tight spots on the interstates and being speed limited would be a problem if that limit is anywhere under 90. 10 years from now when we're...

I think I have the Rover problem solved, we'll see. On to the Volvo... How do I definitely determine if the clicking in the front is the CV joint or something else? How do I determine which side it's...

You must've missed the memo, used is worth more than new. Sir Bobby knows how to make a quick buck in the car biz ;)

Ya know, most of the time you frustrate me but you just said a bunch of good shit and said it well. "actively divided" Onward ...

Actually it's looking like it might be the auxiliary coolant pump. Because it's a water cooled supercharger and alternator it has an electric backup. Apparently for a few vin series they wired them...

Agreed.

Nope it's not the head gasket, I did the test this morning and it passed. On to the gremlin chasing part now.

I think it's all happening simultaneously because the soil hit the right temperature and the moisture was timed just right.

I'm going to pick up a bunch of onion starts and ring the bed the...

And all of a sudden it's looking like a garden again :) Beans and peas are popping, strawberries are starting to put out new runners, the berry patch is going crazy and the garlic is over a foot tall...

Haha

The Brewery Of Broken Dreams in Hammondsport. Unrealized potential?

^ Yeah I'll grab a block tester from Advance Auto tomorrow and check the HG.

Damn. It did it twice this morning. The second time I opened the bleed screw and it burped big time so I released all the pressure by opening the reservoir cap and it exhaled deeply and the coolant...

Is WNY up from SNY? Yeah, I thought so. Latitude duh... It's upstate :) @bmills no, I called my wife to make sure it wasn't a fake.

LOL!

I'll have to go see if the local AZ or Advance has that tool to rent.

^^ Sketchy

Yeah now that summer is here (and I'm older than I used to be) I need to make the AC work. Last year I had a guy pressure test it and one side drained and pressurized and held pressure but there's a...

EVGO is up ~20% today which is nice. I'm still underwater on it but not by much now. I need to find a few extra dollars and add some more SOFI soon.

New caliper is in, it took two tries to get it bled right but it's working great now. Lubed that height sensor again and all seems to be well. Headin' out for another 900 mile road trip in the...

Most of them just closed one day and that was it. Nobody cleaned up or anything, it's like they could just reopen as if they had never closed.

Ha!

I just replaced the right rear caliper today because it got sticky. Figured I'd change the oil while I was underneath and found some new oily moisture. Meh, it keeps the rust away :shrug:...

Buy that van! Or tell me where it is so I can.

So how's the car?

I saw these and I wondered...

Unless you're like me and burn a tank or two (or three) a week. I get it at BJ's once (spot market) and Shell once so it gets the better detergents and such from the tier 1 to keep things clean so...

Yup

Just to continue the saga... Age is doin' it's thing again, now the right rear brake caliper is sticky and makes really cool wispy smoke after a few minutes of driving :o I'm not surprised because...

I can't wait to listen to this. Top of the list when I have 90 minutes

One of the best Derby's I've seen in a long time. That horse looked so athletic and powerful, it was impressive.

Head's all empty and I don't care

You go that way when you go to Titus? I can't think of too many other reasons to be there.

Damn Schindler that's a sweet setup. How many of those bottles are open and in the current rotation?

I just got this. Smooth and easy to drink. 415637

As I was driving away I considered turning around because, well, just because but I needed some time to cruise and digest just having found it.

Yeah, I couldn't help myself when I saw this pic this thread was the first place I thought of. I'd be pretty happy to have it (or similar).

Where does this fit into the matrix? Lifted a few inches with AT tires... 415579

Orders of latitude ;) This also has a TRG numerical connection, all the weed stores are along Rt 37

If that 42 can be 24 it starts to come into focus. 24 miles northwest of unrealized potential is where it is.

You apparently missed the part about "it" and it's core component aspect.

No crack unless it's green415535


Dozens of stores selling weed for $5>$10/gram is pretty fucking close ;)

So...

Yeah as I was sitting on a bench on the west coast just after the sun rose over the eastern overlap zone of the Upstate, I was thinking that it's time for that problem to be solved. I also figured I...

For 40 years I've wanted to walk into a store in NY to buy weed. I've obviously been to them in other states but this was different. And there are so many! Yeehaa

Aww...

I edited to try to express myself more clearly. Apparently it worked :D It has taken me over 400 miles to digest the scope of the experience.

First I found it and I thought it was IT so...

I found it today.

^^ Yup

So this silly sensor problem is a big pain in the ass. When the part number changed so did the plug, the new one is 3 pin and they don't match up with the holes on the old 6 pin plug so -...

That's the third time in about 2 weeks I passed one like that. There are also potholes that are 4-8 feet long along the lane divider markings, twisting and deep enough that if a car (or motorcycle)...

There were a total of 7 cars disabled within a quarter mile of this pothole. They all had 45s or lower so yes, rubber bands.

Trade schools should leave the person with an immediately marketable skill. Handled well that should mean the ability to pay those loans off quickly and avoid the long term debt track should be...

You don't work on cars (or bikes) do you?

I just started putting seeds in a few days ago, I still have three beds to plant tomorrow.
