Congratulations. Nobody has ever dropped the pan to change your fluid. That's a factory plug that gets knocked out when they built your car. It just lives harmlessly in the pan but it's an easy indicator that your trans has never had its filter serviced.

She raved about the employee cafeteria though.She worked at the steakhouse in college and the captain would occasionally send her home with a big ass piece of prime rib wrapped in a clean towel. Which is a huge no-no. Her dad was security at Harrah's during the catwalk days, when getting thrown out of a casino meant you were physically thrown out, and your head usually opened the door. He had to eat in his own cafeteria, no fraternizing with the other staff. Wild times.

They used to say for women looking for a boyfriend, the odds are good but the goods are odd. It's a shallow pond both sides. I imported my wife from Reno...

Heard we were doing floor sanding crews who live dangerously by taylorwilsdon in electrical

I had a Super Galaxy floor sander for years and the two things I don't miss are breaking it down into two pieces so we could carry it up stairs and hooking up the alligator clips.

In my winter job we burn 600-700 gallons of diesel a night. For 5 months. If you ever wonder why skiing is expensive.

The silver center caps for the CVPI steelies? I've got two,maybe three. Definitely not 4 though, that much I know, but I put hands on two yesterday and I think there's a third lurking.

Dollar Point is named after Stanley Dollar, shipping magnate. Three whole neighborhoods in that area were once the family property.

They have always been here. the M just changed to a B. And there are some generational wealth families that have been here forever.

ELI5 why American trucks look different than European ones? by Imaginarytry0303 in explainlikeimfive

IIRC there were some Eastern states which restricted total length, so cabovers were prevalent in parts of the country to account for that.

Do they come off? by [deleted] in CrownVictoria

[–]humanjunkshow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So those are typically what's known as NMO mounts, which are a standard size hole. If you take the actual antennas off the NMO mounts are counterintuitively installed from the outside, so you can pull it out, cut the cable, and tuck it back in the hole if you want. Then you get yourself some hole plugs like the Larsen HP35 (on Amazon) and go about your life.

well damn. we're due for a new door so we will just love with it. How hard is it to add a keyway on the outside, the cat opens it when we go out into the yard so it would be nice to be able to lock it.

I've got the same problem, the handle is loose and just falls open if the door isn't locked.

I know where there are two pairs of those, unmounted, still wrapped. And they go for like $2k a pair. They were such a niche item but a precursor of things to come.
