    Cost of a Rear End?

    You should be able to find a decent replacement rear axle at a reputable salvage yard for less than $250. As far as replacing it that is not too difficult, four bolts on the pinion yoke(back of driveshaft), 4 bolts holding the leaf springs to the axle, 2 shock bolts. Transferring all the...

    What's a hemmie?

    The Magnum name was used on the non-hemi performance engines that chrysler offered in the late 60's and early 70's. Magnum 440, magnum 383, etc... Apparently chrysler has now decided to use the magnum name on all of its performance engines including the hemi. Chrysler also used the name Super...

    Finally saw HDTV display at Sears.

    Maybe it was the DishHD feed or the settings on the sets(believe me they varied greatly from brand to brand) or something else but, I was not bowled over by it. It was a pretty picture but I did not get the "looking through a window" effect from any of them. I know they were at sears and that...

    Energy Saving/Long Life Light Bulbs?

    Home depot has a 4-pack of the small mini flourescent bulbs for something like 13.97. They seem to help with the electric bill. I put them throughout my house(wherever they would fit) and last month my electric usage was only 899 KWh, and that is with a monstrous electric water heater(soon to be...

    Here all shows before 6:30pm are considered matinees at the local celebration cinema. Saw the 6:30 show, I consider that Saturday night.

    *** Official "JACKASS: THE MOVIE" Discussion Thread

    Saw it Saturday night.Not having seen the tv show I didn't know what to expect. The trailers looked retarded. I'll have to say that some parts were hilarious, others "different" and finally some just revolting(snow cone, toy car). One thing came to mind, live action Beavis and Butthead. Wouldn't...

    Anyone else miss Joe Bob Briggs from TNT?

    He used to do the quick rundown of a movie when he was on the radio. I forgot all about that, 2 machete's to the head, 3 severed arms, 5 nekkid breasts, etc...

    Anyone else miss Joe Bob Briggs from TNT?

    Joe Bob kicked ass. I used to listen to a radio spot that he did call Joe Bob's drive in movie review. Rented a few movies from his recommendations and they were great. Loved him on TNT, what the hell was their problem anyway. They need him back, they kinda suck now.

    Anyone else not like sports?

    I can't stand them, although I do enjoy auto racing(or any other motorized racing for that matter). I live near a college town(home of michigan state) and whenever there is a home game the entire area loses its mind. Traffic sucks within a 5 mile radius of the stadium. Doesn't matter, football...

    god I'm tired of stupidity

    I think here in michigan the state is aiding and abetting the stupid people. They are supposedly making it harder to get a driver's license here. The license is given in stages, the first year being probationary. My ex G/F's daughter had TWO at fault accidents and one turn on no left turn ticket...

    remove speaker grille - better sound?

    I found 2 benefits of removing grills. 1. I like the sound better. 2. My cats can't destroy them.

    Objective data on mortgage lenders...

    I don't mind making some phone calls to check on things but if there is a problem that could cause the deal to fall through the lender should alert the customer(I am still a customer, right?) as soon as possible. Not when I call 3 days later to check on things and find out incidentally. I still...

    I'd like to know how to stay away from them. There are so damn many of them, we're outnumbered.

    Objective data on mortgage lenders...

    I don't have a place for service info but I would recommend that you do look into it. My mortgage provider has been less than helpful. Several times there have been potential snags in the process and they did not even call me to tell me. I only found out about the problems because I called to...
