  1. Caprice fiasco? Z, it just says fleet, it doesn't say Utilities fleet... or did I misunderstand?

    I wear a full beard from October to April anyway.... so I don't really count.
  3. Yes for sure on the color scheme and treatments but also some of the interior walls could be better done with reconfiguration. My use and tastes tend to go for more great room concept where you can have plenty of frends and family to have over and this home shows the very old small room style that just kills being able to do anything with large families. I've had over 75 people in "this old house" for Christmas parties before... and I'm sure you'd consider my place to be too small. But at my place, we have three main rooms on the first floor plus the kitchen (which is closed to guests during parties) and the party is arranged in such a way as to encourage people to spread out amongst all of the rooms. My parties are so popular, that when I decided to stop doing them, I got several rather hurt emails from people asking why they hadn't been invited that year not knowing that I decided not to throw one.
  4. Found a replacement carb, $200 shipped, no core charge, from a national brand and 3 year warranty. I don't have time to screw around with this anymore, I need something that starts when I want it to start.
  5. marble mouth, snake oil, marketing hogwash...
  6. Yes. A modern redo of an older home, especially one with a distinctive style like Arts and Crafts would leave the house feeling disjointed.
  7. Oh ok, I'll send you one as a pm.
  8. No I didn't, I'm sorry, just traveling too much. In the spring I suppose.
  9. 1. I'd be there all day and out another starter. 2. That's how I was doing it and still hard starting. After consulting with my dad, he said to pump the gas 6 times before cranking to see if that helps. It does.
  10. No, I hold the gas pedal slightly after she's fired.
  11. Once running though, runs like new.
  12. If you squint really hard, you can almost see a Charger under there....
  13. ^ This is my house...
  14. This is the same company that described this as a radical and sporty redesign....
  15. I still need a truck at some point, but no active plans to get one. It can't take that long to get off the bike and doing all that healthy crap and get back onto the couch drinking beer, eating pizza, and being a potato. You can reach your goals, we all believe in you!
  16. Uhm... where are you commuting? I live in Toronto Ok.. but I don't think the Trax is even in production yet.

    Here's mine. MSRP $33,750
  18. I posted this on the Cheers and Gears Facebook Page, but I forgot to post it here. The Camino and Oldsmoboi summit
  19. They aren't much to look at, but they are a lot of car for the price. and just think... if they hadn't provided that one tank of gasoline during your test, Suzuki might still be around today.
  20. Depends on how able the plaintiffs are able to show it was intentionally deceiving or when Hyundai/Kia knew that the rating was wrong. If they knew it was wrong last year yet kept selling cars with that sticker on it, well then, there might be cause.
  21. Agreed. If this wasn't an afterthought, I'm sure GM could package the tank in there in a more reasonable way, but as a conversion, I find it wanting.
  22. Giant CNG tank instead? Much more giant than a battery by the looks of it.
  23. ghastly, sterile, character free, mcmansions!
