    I have had enough winter and snow in N J.

    born in Luziana, bitter cold was high 20's and a bad winter consisted of a max of 2 weeks. now live in Pa., bitter cold is teens, my opinion, and the winters are bad to me 'cause this "stuff" can run into early May at times. eagerly waiting for the Blue Angels in Annapolis again!

    Jeez! What happened to global warming

    yep..HF..(and their bubble balancer), .except a few years ago added "lucas works" duckbill option. A huge difference and prevents rim damage for custom wheels. Lol, yeah, I just do immediate family. ....didn't mean to hijack thread......

    Jeez! What happened to global warming

    girlfriend's son-in-law has an old pot belly wood burner he uses a lot. For a fact, that heat feels better and different. Yeah, I know, a btu is a btu......but it's......different.

    Jeez! What happened to global warming

    Was just curious. Don't want to start an argument. I've got a 2200 sq ft ranch which includes the full live in basement. I use about 240 gallons of oil per heating season. South central Pa. So $800+/-. There's 2 of us, we don't walk around with sweaters on, 69/70 F during the day. Heat goes off...

    I drove from Pa. to New Orleans and back in my new toyota Cross a few weeks ago. All safeguards were turned off except adaptive cruise, and it was set on the second to last sensitive setting. If someone abruptly pulls in front of me , it brakes. If a car is exiting off a ramp, it also sometimes...

    Survey

    I was looking at a Sea Ray 240 a few years ago. Still kicking myself for passing on it. Anyway, the surveyor (recommended by someone on here) said about $1000. That included the driving.

    not the point of this thread. As a matter of fact, saying it's easier working on a truck by raising the cab illustrates the point. It's harder for the DIY'er to work on cars today.

    It's not a conspiracy when it's a fact. They don't want me fixing my own car. Decades ago the dealers had to be forced to make public TSB's.

    "harder to work on" . Define harder. Today I need at least a bi-directional scanner. More plastic, plastic connectors, modules, modules, modules. Raising a cab? What DIY'er has truck cab raising facilities. My '77 Monte ....sockets, wrenches, hammer?, floor jack. I'll admit, could'a used a you...

    I just stated that an autopilot does not make a good pilot. They had plenty of training. But they flunked private pilot training 101. Recognition of a stall. Period. Too much reliance on automation. yep...human pilot training. And the Airbus has no mechanical connections to any flight controls...

    I could whip my '77 monte into a parallel spot between 2 cars faster than you could say, " you want what for a new 2025 tail light?"

    never needed a blind spot device since 1969. Never crossed a lane and hit anyone. All these wonder devices that cost me money and still people are running into each other at a steady rate. A autopilot in a airplane does NOT make a good pilot.

    yep. I don't go by re-sale blue book. A quick google showed a new replacement starts around $41,700. and depends on my DIY skills and replacement parts.
