Wasn't bragging-venting pal! Someone is gonna hold up the line and inconvenience other people over less than $.20 because they can't do basic math? And then get rude about it to boot! I consider other peoples time as valuable. I expect the same in return. And,can you explain my poor math skills...

Alright so,my redneck side came out today. I went to the party store to pick up the balloon order for my sons B-day. There was a lady in front of me. She wanted 20 ballons and wanted to know how much it would cost. The clerk told her the ballons are .89 a piece or a dozen for 8.99. She wants a...

Yup. Batteries can and do explode. They don't give any warning either. Folks,ALWAYS wear safety glasses when handling a battery. Had one do that to me years ago. Luckily,my back was turned-just got a small scalp laceration from a piece of the case.

Indeed!

You're joking,right?

Hello and welcome. Please remember to put your boat info in your signature(someone was bound to come along and say that).

^^^^ server problems?

https://www.safelinkwireless.com/EnrollmentPublic/program_info.aspx Very nice. To think, I spend over a hundred a month for my family to have wireless service. I could have been getting it for free. I know,its only 68 mins. a mo. but you get a free phone and can buy addl. minutes. IMO,if...

I knew it. She's awesome. Where's the leg humper smiley when you need it?

NO FREAKIN WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm laughing so hard I'm crying! That is awesome.

I concur. Its one thing to sell more diagnostic time if you can build a case and have a CLEARCUT direction to go in(has good spark,has 50 Ms inj. pulse, no cranking vac.,need to tear down and check cam timing/lifter preload etc.). Its another to charge someone $100.00 or whatever and say "I...

Yup,DIY FTW. However,some things are beyond DIY. That is when it pays to have a relationship with a GOOD mechanic. Sounds like your um mechanic(term used loosely) can't even see the dartboard.:smt009:smt013 Head so far in the derrier and no glass belly button to see out of. And, I'm...

The fact that it supposedly has spark and won't start on ether is troubling. An IC engine needs fuel,spark and compression to run(I know,I'm over-simplifying). If it hydrolocked,it may have pushed some water into the intake. Even though the plugs were replaced etc.,it may still have some...

Easy there. I wasn't saying the 5.0 Miata was girly,just the Miata in general-for my taste. Although the new ones have gotten better. Sorry if I offended anyone.

Very cool. I also liked the Miatas with the Ford 5.0(didn't really like the car,just the power to weight ratio-a Miata is a little girly looking IMO).

Is your engine equipped with hyd. lifters? If so then "adjusting" the valves may not help or might actually make it worse(collapsed lifter). I've never had to do it so I don't know the answer. I would try to pull the covers off without removing the risers first. If they won't come off then...

You know Dave, the market will bounce back eventually. Just hang in there. As far as getting rid of the boat is concerned,thats a decision you have to make. However,if its paid for and doesn't cost you a truckload of money to own(not operate) then I would say keep it. If its eating you alive...

Sounds like pinion mesh(lash) is incorrect. Just my opinion.

Although I agree with you completely in theory, the problem is that a lot of items presented as "American" have little American content. They are just assembled here with the majority of components being sourced from elsewhere. Therefore,when I make a big ticket purchase I try to look at the...

Thats a tough one. Um, you have kids-maybe use the kids well being as a "common goal". Arrange a baby sitter(if needed) and go out somewhere alone-ALL alone. You probably need to get all the"issues" out on the table and face the music. It sounds like you do care about her so tell her-in no...
