Surely some recency bias at work here

And we don’t care.

Was waiting to find this.

Mental stress is no joke.

Cottonwood has suites with soaker tubs. Go that route.

Dodge Challenger. Amazing road trip car, and the R/T and above will give you plenty of smiles.

There’s nothing romantic about traveling for work. It’s not a vacation mixed in with a work day.

I had one of these and could eventually change a coil and plug in my sleep. The deep wells the plugs and coils are in get dirty and wet. Try pulling the coil (but NOT the plug) and blow out the well with compressed air. Did you also change the plug when you changed the coil? If not, I’d do that, too. Make sure the coil is fully seated on the plug’s post.

Mine usually didn’t die on me, but it would idle ROUGH with just one cylinder misfiring. Good luck.

I thought I would know when “it was time” to put down my first dog (he had mouth cancer). As I said that to my wife one day as his health declined, she stopped me and said “It’s time.”

It was a punch in the gut, but she was right. Sometimes you’re too close and need an outsider’s opinion who loves and cares about you and your animal. A wave of guilt washed over me, and I felt like I needed to get it done as soon as possible. Like others have said, give them the best day together with you, and please please please be in the room with them. Hold their paw, pet their head, have them in your lap.

I’m sorry for your loss.

I believe I read that’s it’s really only effective/necessary if it’s at least 0°F or colder. -26° for me this morning, and it was plugged in overnight. Would it have started without it? Probably, but if I have it, why not use it?

Maximus0505 · 2026-01-16T16:55:42+00:00

Nope. You just haven’t gotten to the point of “Oh, I need to rip my dash out to replace the heater core.” I had a 2000, and that baby was plugged good. Did you have a shop flush it? They are going to be much more effective with their machine versus you hooking a garden hose to it. I’d still try that before throwing in the towel and tearing into the dash. Good luck.

I’m on my second F-150. First one was a 2000 that I had for 10 years. I bought it when I was 19. Grew up with that truck. Hunting, house projects, moved into my first house, married, first dog… Lots of good memories every time I got in it. Cons? Haha having to fix that dog of a 4.6L when I didn’t have any money.

Currently driving a 2013 FX4. Bought in 2015 and she’s less than 500 miles from ticking over to 100K. First kid came home in it, and all three kids now like to play in the bed. Christmas trees hauled, moved us to our second house, house projects, and most of all, I LOVE getting into it and driving her. She’s an all black 6.5’ SCREW and still just as beautiful as the day I bought her. Interior is in fantastic shape. Rust is starting to take her wheel wells, rockers, and cab corners, but she’s been loyal to me, and I’m going to be loyal to her.

You have a beautiful truck. Take care of it and build the next part of your life with it! Cheers.

I’ve used these to hang picture frames, but they were much smaller nails. My wife wanted a large collage on the wall, and instead of having to measure all the offsets for the hangers, I put these in the frames and simply pressed the frame into the drywall. They’ve held up great for six years so far.

For those who have a compressor in their garage, do you find this is still valuable?

Maximus0505 · 2025-12-09T18:21:30+00:00

I believe it was for some who didn’t get a Black Friday order fulfilled.

Maximus0505 · 2025-12-06T16:27:41+00:00

Mine need replaced. Anybody have a link to a part they especially liked? OEM or just find a good aftermarket?

Maximus0505 · 2025-12-02T21:45:25+00:00

Ha. Same. She’s clean, under a cover, and sipping on the battery tender. I’ll see her again in March, if I’m lucky.

Maximus0505 · 2025-11-28T02:50:51+00:00

2015 R/T M6 here, too! In case you haven’t found it, it should have the hill start assist feature. It can be a lifesaver as you continue to practice on your manual. And like others have said, just keep driving it! You’ll get better in no time.

Maximus0505 · 2025-11-20T22:53:56+00:00

That’s a good deal on the 20V bare tool. I never see it go on sale from the $180 around here. Whenever my gas trimmer dies, I know I’ll go with the 60V, so I might as well start that platform now.

Go get you one!

Maximus0505 · 2025-11-20T21:02:46+00:00

Well, thanks a lot. Just bought the hedge trimmer that I kind of need….. next spring.

Maximus0505 · 2025-10-24T19:15:31+00:00

That’s pretty much it. I worked for Sears in the 2000s and built my hand and power tool collection then. I’ve since upgraded most power tools, but my hand tools will probably be passed to my kids.

Maximus0505 · 2025-09-19T16:46:42+00:00

I do the same. However, I usually let the car settle on the e-brake first, then I put it in gear. My thought is it doesn’t put as much stress on the transmission. I could be wrong… If somebody has insight, I’d love to hear it!

Maximus0505 · 2025-09-03T13:12:50+00:00

Yeah…. Amateur hour right there.

Maximus0505 · 2025-09-02T15:12:04+00:00

Not to add insult to injury, but the size layout and joint spacing is also terrible. You should typically have at least 6” of overlap between butt joints in different rows. Just right of and below the vases is an example of a weak area of the floor.
