  1. He's wanting to look "Ohio Redneck" with the Jetta hulk.... And congrats, neat car.
  2. We might be able to arrange a little "fill up" if the wagon wandered westward...
  3. If you keep the original A/C components on the wagon, R-409-A will work in place of R-12....but you didn't hear that from me....
  4. That's okay, part of the fun of fixing things is learning new things. I've learned a lot of things I never thought I would...or never needed again, for that matter!
  5. My in laws have stow and go...it is wonderful also. And reg, I analogize to you...you once praised the Routan and I thought you were nuts, It's a decent van. as is the Odyssey.
  6. I'm seeing it now...and wondering if this thing doesn't need to meet a frame rack for an hour or two...
  7. Think electrical first and airflow next...your solving this like a commercial A/C-refrigeration guy.... You sure your really a landscaper?
  8. I agree right back...gov't should be in a lot of ways run like a business. As much as I am loathe to love Reagan, that was one of the things he did right. He set up a lot of government accounts as subcontract work so the free market could compete and provide the service. Things like mowing the grass in national parks for example. Gov't should also run like a business in another way...it should be "customer oriented." We should be using our tax dollars for practical things here at home. City parks come to mind, as do state forests and decent highways. Decent lunches for school children would do wonders. I'd love to take part fof what we spend on one F-22 Raptor warbird and provide fresh fruit, veggies, and fresh, locally sourced meat for school children. Yes, some of it would be wasted, but then a lot of it wouldn't. And it's pretty hard to low a field with a tank. Part of my real problem with the "right" is the insistence on no government at all. Your in the building trades, I'm in the building trades...I actually like Code enforcement because it keeps people honest about their work, and levels the playing field so more people can compete for work. Plus...we have one standard of work. I can come help you with a project in jersey, help Camino with a project in PA, help cubitar with a project in Arizona, and then help croc with a project in LA. All those different places might have regional differences in how things are usually done, but overall...we have a standard of how things are done here. To me...that HELPS our free enterprise system. And I really think the key to our economic future is small business-you own one and I work for one-to me that's the way our nation needs to fly-lots of self reliant small business people that provide services to people. Not saying we don't need general Motors and General Electric...we do...but...think small business and we'll think alike. Chris
  9. I agree completely with you. While we are at opposite ends of the political spectrum, I think a smaller, leaner, more efficient government would actually be better at providing basic services!
  10. I'm with Dave87rs...grab it. Just make sure they include the big wind up key in the back...
  11. Raymond Lowey yes...Harley Earl yes... There is a great book called Lost Wright...I think I was telling you about this one of the times we met in person. All of his stuff that got torn down, including a hotel in tokyo. One more reason not to buy Japanese! Semper Fi!
  12. BINGO....you would be once again correct sir. Give the man a Cigar!
  13. I would really look up to Harry S Truman as well. Such a simple, honest guy throw up at one of the turning points in history. I some times picture him sitting in the oval office, thinking about dropping the bomb on Japan, or rebuilding Europe.... Barry Goldwater I like as well, as he was much more of a rational libertairan type than like a lot of todays conservatives. Nigel Mansell I think of all of the drivers Cubical mentioned, I respect Nigel the most...
  14. Go for it dude...these are as much of a hoot as a Miata, and Honda will never build the likes of this again. Your going to wind up with a car collection the size of the US Navy Pacific fleet...which isn't a bad thing. You have good taste in cars...
  15. http://gawker.com/5663474/japanese-scientists-teach-worlds-creepiest-robot-to-sing
  16. OBD II is kind of scary when you think about CPU's going bad over time....
  17. I just hope it works out for you. I'm probably going to be keeping the Miata for a rather long period of time....and watching other people keep older vehicles on the road is encouraging.
  18. That's a nice looking truck!
  19. I think the Italians have a grip on things....finally.... I remember how much I liked my Concorde, which was a 1994. I feel like Chryco has a lost decade. robin williams made a movie called Awakenings, IIRC. To me what's going on at Chryco is kind of the same thing.
  20. Duntov...not so sure about that one. Personally, I'd give his name to a dog...oh wait... But seriously, yes. Glad we agree on Sagan. I also Admire Jacques Cousteau
  21. Should be a neat truck when you get her sorted out. It was the last truck, the manual shot one, that had the weird rust problems around the tail gate, right?
  22. Interesting list, I find Leonardo DaVinci very interesting, and love Charles M Schultz. Maybe hero is too strong of a word, people you really look up to then/admire.
  23. For me: Richard Dawkins Carl Sagan Lance Armstrong Ellen Degeneres Jay Leno Mark Martin (esp. now that he is racing a Chevy!) Danica Patrick Paul McCartney Dwight Eisenhower George Patton Dan Barker Christopher Hitchens Barrack Obama James Taylor-Musician How about you all...who do you look up to?
  24. I really like it!
  25. 1Lt is what I am thinking if we get a Cruze. Saw a car carrier going by with Cruze loaded on, and also one with the new Jettas. Can live with the exterior styling of either.... Chris
