"Tap Adapter" - Neat way to convert standard taps into thread chasers or to avoid having to use a dedicated tap-wrench.

We're taking the boys to Monster Jam at the dome tomorrow as Cale's 6th birthday present.

I haven't been to the dome since I was a kid... any recommendations for parking, or avoiding traffic and construction?

So what cool projects do you have planned for the long weekend? I plan on gutting a fifty year old garage so I can install insulation and put up some wallboard. Then redo some electrical and I’ll have about a thousand square feet of dry storage.

Not a Chevelle, but it's kind of dead in here so I thought I'd post my new Project. 1974 Arctic Cat El Tigre. It was in my sister's barn and hasn't run in 15 years. It's actually in pretty nice shape after I washed all the bird crap off it. Fuel lines are all rotted away, but the tank appears rust free. I gr...

In an effort to generate some conversation here… How about some troubleshooting assistance or at least help me see if I’m going in the right direction?

Drive home wasn't bad, but no salt on the side streets as of a few minutes ago.

Got to try the new tires on ice, and so far so good. Heard some of the commutes home weren't fun for a few folks, including the car this morning that went in the overflow pond with the car full of kids. I hope they all turn...

Went on a really nice trip with Stan and John D. Drive about 70 plus miles without issue. Then coming home I am literally .5 miles from the house. I put my left blinker on and am sitting in the intersection turn left. My turn to go. I hit the gas and all it does is rev. I thought it came out of driv...

Is this possible to change the code from say a 8966 to a 8985 on an old gm ignition cylinder? No locksmiths here in town that I can call. Seems to me that I recall you can take the cylinder apart and do something to change the code; but not sure. Thanks

Today was absolutely gorgeous, and finally a good day for a cruise! Tina and I drove to Fleet Farm in Lakeville this afternoon for some non-oxy, and a guy pulls up to the pump in an orange '70 Boss 302 Mustang that had 60K original miles. It was a 4 speed car, and numbers matching. We got to talking as he...

I replaced my wife's Honda (which I installed a remote start) with a used Lexus and she really liked the remote start, since she could warm up the car. I don't feel like trying to figure it again to do the install. I am looking for someone who knows what there doing, preferably in the NW to N metro. Thank...

Just for giggles I have been looking at the G force instruments like the GTECH SS. Anybody have/use one and are they as reliable and accurate as advertised?

I like the looks of the new Silverado's and decided to do the on-line "build". To replace my current 2000 K1500 comparably equipped would be $40,000..

I'll wait until they are 4-5 years old and buy one used.

After JD uploaded pics to the website, I got sucked into looking back at the years, and found a few pics from the cruise 10 years ago. Look at the gas sign in the background. Yes.... it says $1.51/gal for premium!!!
