Saw a couple camoed on the highway last week. 4 vehicles with Minnesota mfg plates. First was evoke with camo over rear trim Second was full camo, pretty much same shape as evoke. Third was no camo Jag SUV marked F-track or F-tour or F-something. Last car was a Jag sedan. Consecutive plate...

Now when the DRLs are on, the dash lights are on, too. So the fucking unwashed dickholes think their lights are on, since the dash is lit. And there are NO LIGHTS WHATSOEVER on the back of the vehicle. Maybe DRLs should include taillights. And, the whole "when turn signal is on, DRL on that...

So our utility power went off over the weekend; about 4 hours overnight on Saturday night & a couple-three hours on Sunday late morning. No problem for the overnight, more than a little inconvenient on Sunday. My wife ended up having to go down to her office on Sunday because the router was...

let me start by saying I don't know anyone who owns a gun, or would have any use for such a thing. Now, on to the post... I was having a conversation with a friend who also doesn't have any guns; we were talking about sights. My position was a laser sight that actually projected a dot on the...

As if I didn't know better... :banghead: For years, the only gas I put in the cars has been Conoco; based on some reading about Top Tier gasoline. About 3 months ago, I thought I'd try the cheap gas with the grocery store fuel points. Worked just fine, saving 30 - 50 cents per gallon on a 20+...

On the '03 & '04 Discos, they installed the seat heaters in every vehicle, and if you did NOT get that "option", you could "add" it by getting the switches and plugging in the connectors. On an '05 RR, is it the same deal? Can I just order the switches and plug them in? Adding the appropriate...

I just got a compressor for christmas. My friend insists that emptying the tank of air (and draining) is a MUST after every use. He never leaves pressure in the tank overnight. I have another friend who just leaves it alone, full of air, but he does use the drain thing about monthly to get the...

Ordered a blower motor on Thursday night. It arrived today in Colorado! Wow. Thanks!!

So, looking around online for various & sundry parts for the RR. Island4x4 in UK has good prices. The questions: 1. their prices "include VAT". Are consumers in US subject to that? That seems like a sales tax of sorts, do US consumers pay that? 2. import duties: wtf. I started looking at the US...

2000 RR 4.6, 129K miles light to moderate acceleration, truck seems to hesitate. idle RPM sometimes drops for no apparent reason. this morning, it stalled when stopped at a light. (started right back up) Replace Engine Light NOT illuminated. Hoping your guess may be better than mine, as my...

I know leaking oil is no real surprise for a rover, but... I took the truck to a mechanic a while back, he replaced the sump - it was cracked. So today, I'm changing the oil. Every single bolt on the sump has oil on it. Like the oil is leaking around the bolt, and dripping off the head. dammit...

Saw an article in today's Denver Post, toyota recalling a bunch of vehicles because the gas pedal sticks. oh my. perhaps i misread the article, and they're recalling because the floor mats get stuck under the pedal, im not sure.

I have a 2000 range rover. I need to replace the radiator. Reading RAVE, it looks like I remove the 3 hoses, remove the clips at the top, 2 bolts at the bottom, and the radiator just pulls straight up and out. Is it really this easy?

EU to phase out incandescent bulbs global warming, blah blah blah, energy consumption, blah blah blah, pump up to $14 billion into the economy, blah blah blah, wait.. what?? how does changing light bulbs pump money into the economy? oh, yeah. because everyone has to BUY THESE NEW BULBS. for $14...

Closing Rest Stops to save money states saving money = good not being able to pee on a roadtrip = bad How about this: $250K a year per rest stop? that's a lot of money. Wonder what that's paying for? If they're going to close the rest stops, they ought not have a problem with people pulling...

Presented without additional comments, you know who you are. Dirty Deeds Done With Sheep :smilelol:

From this article: Two Problems with the Stress Tests (bold is mine) So, to clarify, as long as banks are allowed to lie about their balance sheets, their balance sheets look fine. My confidence is restored, I think I'll buy some bank stocks.

Montana says any guns or ammo made in Montana that STAY in Montana are exempt from ANY AND ALL federal regulation. They do specifically exclude any firearm that So people can't say "oh my god, they'll be making machine guns in Montana!" Complete bill here: Montana tells US gov't to respect 2nd...
