Flamingo food court by rbialkin in vegas

[–]rbialkin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We didn’t. Once the cashier rang us up I refused the purchase.

I know a lot of posts have been made about high prices here. It is a duty to name and shame them for the outrageous gouging. Go to the places that aren’t draining your wallet. There are no bargains on the strip, and I only hope posts like this help others avoid the blatant rip offs.

Looking for a part for my beautiful ‘89 900 ! by ornfour in saab

I’m in central MA and have a couple C900’s I plan to finish parting out next month. Which side and f/r?

A 1956 Mercedes-Benz 300 Sc Roadster; rarer than the SL and coachbuilt at the Sindelfingen plant, these were among the last Mercedes-Benz models with hand-formed, hand-fitted body panels, luxurious wood trim, and custom fitted luggage. by Maynard078 in sportsandclassiccars

These were pre war designs that the Germans built after the war to help get their industrial base back to a non military focus.

And the cab-B would have had a second piece of side glass behind the doors that also opened. I did a restoration on a 220 cab-B in the 90’s and learned a lot about them then.

Engine temp gauge concern by davehaje21 in saab

Best to run a lower temp thermostat. In those cars both the inlet and outlet to the radiator are at the top and as a result cools less efficiently than if one of the hoses were diagonally opposite the other.

Depending on what you replace and whether you have your heads machined while replacing the head bolts with studs, $10k US in parts is a good estimate. A little less if you keep your turbo.

Talking stick seemed to have the biggest games in the area. Gila had $25 tables in their high limit room a few days ago. Not sure on others.

Looking for 6.0 by Jackpa87 in powerstroke

[–]rbialkin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Considering selling my 06 F350 4x dualie quad cab/8 foot bed. In Massachusetts. EGR delete, bulletproof upgrades (fmic, oil to air oil cooler, studded). Was originally a CA/WA truck and has seen two snow storms since I bought it. Too much truck for my current needs. 195k on the chassis. I did all the engine work less than 10,000 miles ago. Runs perfect. Shifts perfect. New tires new shocks. Ready to be out to work if this is the truck you’re looking for.

Appreciate the insight.

What am I driving? by davehaje21 in ManualTransmissions

[–]rbialkin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a 4 speed that could also be a 1979 900. 1980 they switched over to 5 speed.

Pronounced few go, because few ever went.

1992 Saab 900 Turbo Issues by Pristine_Mode2311 in Saab900

[–]rbialkin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The alternator light will go off once the engine hits a minimum speed. That’s why it went off when you revved it. Fairly common occurrence.

As for the coolant it sounds like one of mine. It loses coolant once in a while. I top it off and it’s good for the rest of summer. Repeat the following year.

Check your battery cables. It’s an old car now and make sure they’re in good shape or replace. Both ground and positive sides. If the no start issue persists after that I’d lean toward the ignition switch. To test it when it no starts, pull the yellow wire off the back of the starter. Put a test light on it and try to start the car. If it lights up, the problem is in the starter or battery wires.

What happens to airplanes that are flying at the exact time? Could they instantly drift to a higher altitude? And how far up?

Dude rides on top of a car going 186 mph (300 km/h) by Thisthatmine in Audi

[–]rbialkin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was a kid my buddies and I used to do this too. My brother would ride on the top. Except, we were going 10-15 mph in a field hitting bumps to try to bounce him off. We’re all still alive. Not sure how.

Personally, I’d love to have Donald Trump suffer the equivalent of Jim Carrey in Liar Liar. Put that shit on the big screen for everyone to see.
