I carry a lot of blueprints around, and it's useful for sorting & separating them by projects. Because it is usually up, I also find it useful for putting groceries [no "grocery-getter" cracks: if you post, you eat!] that you don't want flattened: eggs, veggies, bread, chips, etc. The point...

CELEBS Yep, I was in Newport News VA the Monday before Thanksgiving. Looked into a dark red Lexus LX 470 & Michael Vick was just ending a phone converstion. I ran down my passenger window & said "You better watch out - Lions can sneak up behind you!" [They were scheduled to play, and beat the...

Car Wars Immediately before my 4Runner, it was a 5.9 Grand Cherokee, with more $ mods than I'll admit to. What a torque monster: shocked the peewater out of many a Mustang / Camaro / Ricer. The perfect vehicle to not have in a $3 gas world. My other current car is a 36,000 mi. '82 El Camino...

Cross Terrains Sears is a retailer thas will price match. You can probably do it all over the phone, they will order [3 days], & call you when they come in. $700 is going to be over $800 by the time you're done adding taxes, mounting, balance, disposal, & road hazard, something you definitely...

Silver Oxidation I wash my silver SE often enough to know one thing: the paint on this thing is about as close to perfect as I have ever owned. I'm sure they use computer driven lasers, or the like, but this paint is way nice. Damifino about oxidation, but I did use Prolong paint sealant...

Jason is straight up.

Road Tires If you are not looking for "off road" tires, do not overlook the Michelin Cross Terrains. I know you will react w / the $ question, but if you read Bill42's response on this thread [he's spot on], & then shop Sam's, Price Club, Costco, etc, factor in no freight, free add-ons, the...

Howard Stern I want to be as careful as possible. I want to remain politically correct. Howard Stern is a coward. Howard Stern is a prick. OK, I stooped a little, but I was still far above his standards.

I gotta alot of time on those roads; add in San Antonio.:bandito: And it was the likes of Selma and Schertz on I 35 that taught me to buy the best radar detector you could lay $ on...

B & R in ole San Antonio. :bandito: Diggin' 4 $s in Virginia since '86. The only state in the Union which holds radar detectors illegal, :moon: against the U.S. Supreme Court.

I experienced slowness today, for the first time. GG will gitit fixed.

Stickers Never seen them..... Only thing I have there is fake Lojak stickers. They look so good they fool me & I put 'em on! I have had a lot of folks ask me what Lojak costs. Damifino. :satan:

Jeepers I don't know very much about Toyotas, 'cept I like mine: it's solid, & ain't broke yet. Of the 'defects' I read around here, I have zero. I had been in Jeeps for 21 years, so feel as tho I can post w/some knowledge. I've had 'em good, bad, slo & fast. A few observations: I think the...

xcalibur - I like the idea of adding the Solara Nav, and I could easily justify the price - think of how much $ I saved not buying the Ltd [wife taught me that philosophy!], glad I have the good platform for the mod, but the install spooks me. Not sure how the interior would fare after a visit...

In da bag JO - Mine landed yesterday afternoon. Looks & fits great. Thank you again. :bandito:
