  1. Close... http://blog.al.com/live/2009/11/william_je...ce_freezer.html
  2. wait..........there's more!
  3. Prayers with all my might.

  5. That's a sticking point. There's been a long battle...the companies invest huge sums in their proprietary software, and independent shops want to access it to earn repair money from customers. Also, I read somewhere that insurance co. lawyers want to access the information, to see if the owner was speeding, and use that as a basis for claim denial.
  6. That's what to do. The possibility of lunching the engine exists, though. As we all should know, turning off the ignition can cause the steering wheel to lock - not good of one is moving, obviously. In the old days, once stopped on the side of the road, you could jam something in the air cleaner snorkel - or more drastically, haul back with the tire iron and shatter the distributor cap.
  7. As I suspected (as would most folks who worked for automotive), there's likely more at work here than a mechanical gas pedal assembly. Here's an article - I get the impression that Toyota is leaning towards tossing the supplier "under the bus." http://www.newser.com/article/d9dgcbug0/lo...l-friction.html
  8. ..."Carson Palmer could return to his Pro Bowl form. "... Only if they draft 7-foot tall receivers and somehow make him get rid of the ball in a timely fashion.
  9. Yep - those NT's are hard to find and can cost a ton. The teams that have them, prize them. The collegiate ones get snapped up, and there is always the questions about if they can play the pro game. As well as the types of LBs and DEs you need to have. I wish'em luck if they are going to make that change. They better flash the big cash...
  10. In a perfect world, those freecreditreport.com folks would run over the the Geico gecko, causing them to slip and crash into a building, wiping out that Progressive Insurance lady with the red lipstick. In a perfect world.
  11. It has a default "boutique" mode.
  12. If you go to an emergency room for strep throat and a fever, you wait 2 hours (until after the my child is so precious helicopter parents with the five-dollar co-pays, and the won't pay, play the system, I don't speak English crowd that falsely claim heart pains get serviced with a free shot of morphine), and then you or your coverage get banged for 300+ bucks and get sent off with a Rx for tylenol.
  13. Avatars that feature the demon tobacco?
  14. Rats. I paid $45 last week...
  15. In my barfly days at my local haunts, I would fill out 1040EZ's, state and local forms also, for barmaids and barmen. I told'em to bring in their wage statements, etc. beforehand. For nothing, as a common courtesy to friends of mine. Told 'em to be sure to make copies before they mailed them. I was strict about that. They usually handed me a free beer - more than adequate payment for 5 minutes' work.
  16. Some Tebow comments from the Cincinnati Enquirer sports columnist Paul Daugherty, 1/26/10: http://news.cincinnati.com/article/2010012...+Poor+Tim+Tebow
  17. The Toyota oil sludge settlement... Toyota fought it for years, blaming owners. It was several model years, not just MY99. Something like 4 million vehicles affected, if memory serves. IIRC, the problem came about because Toyota engineers narrowed block and head cooling passages to raise transient combustion chamber temperatures in the interest of more complete fuel/air charge burn. That raised the overall cylinder head temperature over time, and they failed to account for the fact that there is always some motor oil pooling in the nooks and crannies in the top surfaces of a head. So it got fried and turned into clots, which eventually circulated. They made a fundamental mistake - you address head drainage/cooling when you raise head temps. That's pretty much Motor Design 101 stuff... Re this sticking throttle problem: Will CBS's "60 Minutes" have a feature, like they did with the Audi 5000 years ago (unintended acceleration - turned out to be operator error, but CBS saw fit to jury rig an Audi for their show), or the GM pick-up gas tank problem (they put pyrotechnic devices that would explode when they staged a crash, to insure that the truck went up in flames)? Nah.
  18. I'd like to be an ILB coach. One, maybe two employees, and I'd get 100K+, never get hit, and could sell used cars in the off-season.
  19. The latest report from TOTUS: http://baracksteleprompter.blogspot.com/
  20. I like to watch Obama speak. He is so inspring and I get to exercise my neck, as I watch him. Left to right. I guess he smarter than George Bush.
  21. I'm sure they are. If my $4 per week MegaMillions bets ever pays off well, expect to be contacted. You and yours will be flying to Singapore first-class to visit the ancient one (me) and his child bride (she just turned 55), and handed 20K spending loot. You will shop escorted and protected by my hired thugs. My agents will take care of all details. Three rules: Always finish your rice. Keep your feet on the floor. Never utter the word, "Hi!"
  22. Ah - sad to hear that the character replacement takes place...
