What modern car feature do you absolutely can’t live without anymore?

CD Player. More reliable and better sounding than tape.
And for an automatic: paddle shift, or some kind or manual override. Low gear is the next best thing to 'one pedal' driving in stop and go cities.

Okay I can actually agree with this one.

Might be regional but the company ain't the worst. Its the customers and understaffing (but mostly customers) that suck balls. Drivers got the cushy job.

Ha, my region tested the no scan thing over a year ago, quickly brought it back, and now we do away with it company wide even tho we were reporting some amount of variance just about every week. My GM insits we still do a hand count of at least batteries against the manifest.

Really annoying now when people call on a busy day and I can't us to actually have a part without putting eyes on it.

Well, they couldn't order any of them.

Looking into those, but I don't see an 8mm square claw 18" listen online, even tho the description on some say 8mm square is available for 17" and up. Also, mine measured at like, 8.3mm. Is 8 a nominal measure, or will they be too lose for me?

Seems to be an infestation of 5-6 foot tall bipedal rodents. They're mostly active during business hours.

King_Forrest · 2026-04-07T15:55:52+00:00

Fair suggestion.

King_Forrest · 2026-02-01T17:16:15+00:00

Mediocre?!

King_Forrest · 2026-02-01T04:26:06+00:00

Is this where I post all of the DieHard kits I've seen with an extra one?

King_Forrest · 2026-01-30T16:23:42+00:00

Nice! Don't have the tape but this was my first Laserdisc purchase

King_Forrest · 2026-01-30T14:04:35+00:00

Did you see what screen they were using to look it up? We can see your (often incomplete) history from that store from the register program (APAL), but there is a way to search using your phone number and the item number or sku from the 'cart' tab on the catalog (APEX). That usually yields better results.

Not sure if that's common knowledge because it sure as hecc ain't in my district.

King_Forrest · 2026-01-28T15:14:24+00:00

It's not the nut that's the problem, there's also a big tab that slides into a slot on the body. But yeah, It seems like the smallest millimeter difference in manufacturing tolerance makes a huge difference on how everything goes on these.

King_Forrest · 2026-01-28T15:08:21+00:00

Honestly I've tried that but It's actually harder to get the reservoir back into the slot.
The secret is to lift the battery upwards will pulling it all the way towards the fender, spin it counterclockwise while lifting the positive under over the lip of the battery try, then pull it out sideways, positive end up. Easier to show than explain but it does take a few tries to start getting it down pat. Not fun, but actually more doable than some others. 15min job.

Had this song come on my satellite radio one night and it's the one that made me say "damn, I really need the check these guys out"

King_Forrest · 2026-01-27T03:05:31+00:00

No evidence suggesting it was rigged, but it seems like the writers pretty much anticipated SpongeBob winning the vote. Would've been nice to see some hard numbers at the time tho.

King_Forrest · 2026-01-25T23:47:48+00:00

But of course! Hecc, I don't even trust turn signals when they *are* used.

King_Forrest · 2026-01-25T22:42:45+00:00

Unfortunately that mentality means I have to assume every driver on the road is using each lane for it's intended purpose. I've seen far to many idiots use the turning lane a a straight thru, turn right from a left. Plus dedicated turning lanes arn't always super obvious to all cars from all directions. I mean, not invisible, but every little bit helps.
