    Just an Observation On The Shooting

    One slight correction in the video title needs to be made. The video is from the cell phone he was holding, not a body cam on his body. Slight destiction, but remove that point from someone's argument when trying to say he wasn't justified. "The motion is of him dropping/lowering his phone. Not...

    Hydraulic hose repair/fabrication shop recommendations.

    Have a transmission line (hardline/soft line assy) on my wife's Audi that has started leaking at the crimp. Looked at buying a new one. Cheapest I can find is freaking $600 +tax and shipping. That is ridiculous. So before I spent that figured I would see if a hydraulic hose shop could fix it...

    Ford Is Hiring, But No Joy

    Mind if I ask what shop you are at now? Is it still VW, euro-centric? Always looking for your euro shop for watercooled work.

    Black Friday...

    From where and what was the deal. Been eyeing this kit for a while now but have never been able to justify spending the money. A good enough deal my just be enough to justify it.

    Good old CA, at it again.

    Got to love it. These temporary changes to the map that are actually permanent. That wording right there should enough to open up a lawsuit to overturn Prop 50 if it passes. (Even though the lawsuit wouldn't be successful). I F'n hate this state.

    Fixing V-Band flare on exhaust pipe?

    Went by Westmore today. They didn't have anything like what you are showing. Only option they came up with is a flared pipe like Jersey_Jeff linked. I need to research a little more to make sure I order up the correct flare dia etc. Fun times.

    Fixing V-Band flare on exhaust pipe?

    Looks like I get to crawl under this pig again and figure out what turbo is on there. Yeah, I don't thing the original flange had the double back flare. I think it was just single flared. Hope these aren't to expensive. Trying to get the coach put back together so we can sell it for my...

    Fixing V-Band flare on exhaust pipe?

    The exhaust pipe on our motorhome has fallen off at the turbo twice now. The first time I just put everything back together and made sure the v-band was nice and tight. This time I pulled the exhaust off the coach and found the it looks like the flare on the exhaust pipe has been worn down/off...

    New GD.com logos.

    Understood... I can agree with you, not thinking it is finished. I was just suggesting giving dbart some feedback so maybe he can do some iterations and get it finished to your liking. dbart is wicked good in design and has YEARS of experience you can take advantage of (Maybe you have already...

    What do you not like about it. Maybe provide him with some input and dbart can hone in on what you are looking for? Just my input. Change can be good but major change can make things worse. I like where dbart is going with this. Fresh look while honoring the legacy.
