A steering knuckle? As far as I know, a knuckle has no moving parts (there may be a bearing or ball joint in it) and is usually made of iron or aluminum. What did the shop give as a reason that kind of noise could be caused by a knuckle? I am curious. If I think of it, I will ask one of our mechanics at work.

Maybe I'll stop by Lowe's and Sears later on today, just to see what they've got.

I was shocked at how much cleaner my dishes are when I hand-wash them. It kind of scared me that I was eating off filmy, crappy dishes and didn't know it (the Jet-Dri dispenser is full). I always use the "normal" wash cycle. Perhaps if I used the "presoak" cycle, that extra steam time would have made a difference. We'll see how it goes. Maybe I'll google my model and see how old it is before I decide to make an attempt at repair.

Dealership labor rates are comparatively high, but they should have no trouble. Good luck in getting it taken care of quickly and at reasonable cost, mustang.

I think we all share this addiction, this innate sluttiness. And that's alright with me.

Good luck with all this, whiteknight.

We'll slip you an oil filter wrench while you're down there.

Is the government rebate thing going on now? I heard about it, but didn't know when it was in effect. I guess I'll go looking around for a new one. My next problem is color. I have biscuit-colored kitchen appliances, and I've been thinking about switching to stainless steel, but my stove and fridge are working fine, I don't want mismatched stuff if they keep working for 20 years longer.

Seriously. I am so glad he wasn't about to tell us how long it took him to choke out the engine by plugging the tailpipe with something.

Whoa, thanks, D. The showroom shot is kind of blah but the natural light shot looks a lot better. I cannot decide between this and the Deep Navy.

I do see a few typos, though, if you don't mind me saying. You have a TH200-4R transmission, and the G-body Malibu coupe was made until 1981.

I have a KitchenAid dishwasher that came with the house, and it appears to be a real oldie, with big ol' chrome pushbutton controls. When I set it, it heats the water for a little while, then doesn't wash. I thought it was out of sync somehow, but I have not been able to resynchronize it (happened a couple of years ago and I was able to get it work properly then). Does anyone have experience with these? Does anyone have a clue of what's wrong with it? Should I spend the money to have it looked at, or junk it and buy a new one? This is likely going to put a dent in my pickup truck fund. I've been washing dishes this week for the first time since I bought my house, going on 7 years next spring. It's not life-threatening, but I am spoiled. Please post any troubleshooting tips and/or new dishwasher recommendations. Thank ya kindly.

Filet o' Fish and Quarter Pounder with Cheese, coming up!

Cool, man!

Greek yogurt is da bomb, how do they make it taste so much better than other kinds?

Oh yeah, we have them whizzing between lanes of traffic stopped at redlights and running red lights, cycling on the wrong side of the road, not using hand signals, the whole gamut. For those few of you who are responsible cyclists that care about your own safety and don't recklessly rattle motorists' nerves, I salute you.

Shoot, that reminds me, in town a few weeks ago, a Festiva Ranchero, painted yellow and red.

Supply issues here, too. I googled "Chevrolet Dealer Directory" and then I went to each individual dealer's site to check inventory, since Chevy's site is not yet updated to the 2010 model year.

Uh... so, every other day of the week you eat bacon sammiches with extra bacon on the side?

hehehe, oh man.

Sounds good to me, but it's so far out, I'm not certain. It certainly sounds like fun.
