    Battery Tender

    This is the type I have used for over 10 years with no issues. Mounted it semi-permanently in the Gen I and use a cigarette lighter plug for the Gen III. Also use it for the lawn tractor during low use periods.

    Financing options in today's market?

    Steve you are correct. No fees at all. The rate is tied to the prime but I am not sure what it is exactly, though my monthly statement (even when there has been no withdrawals) probably indicates it. It seems like the rate has been around 3.5 to 4%. Pretty good considering the interest is...

    Financing options in today's market?

    Not sure how others use their HELOC but I have mine at a zero balance almost all of the time and have it as a reserve line of credit for significant or unforeseen expenses. Only used it once on a large purchase ($25k for a new roof) and it worked very slick. Electronic transfer using my home PC...

    is it possible to have paint overspray from the factory???

    And I repeat, CAAP does not paint anything. No touch up or anything. They do not have paint facilities. If a panel is found damaged they replace it.

    is it possible to have paint overspray from the factory???

    Did you read above where it was stated that all (read ALL) panels are painted separately. Impossible to get overspray from one part onto another or anywhere else on the car. This was true for all Gen I and II. Starting with Gen III stripes have been painted after full assembly and could leave...

    Now Jon you know he wouldn't be coming along caroling anyway. At least not in my neighborhood.

    Chrysler & GM granted $17.4B in loans

    Aries - nice letter. It echoes thoughts of many of us. We were also told that Flagstar bank is also recieving a chunk of the TARP funds. I bring that up as the CEO of Flagstar lives a few blocks from me and has a 40,000+ sq ft mansion. An example of the excess that the banking industry acquired...

    Well... it looks like the driving season

    Actually Jon that was my uncle that said that (really). Look up James Hansen from the Goddard institute. Having big auto and global warming in the same family makes for some interesting conversation. Both James and my boss testified in the Vermont trials, on opposite sides.

    Foxnews says "Chrysler shuts down Friday for a month..

    Aries that study was GARBAGE. You just told someone who knows exactly what his paycheck was that it was triple what it really was. That study included junk like retiree pensions (which were funded while the retiree was working), retiree health care, etc. The US auto industry has been...

    Over the counter octane boost...

    Tom I do not often correct you but in this case you are not exactly correct. Detonation is generally regarded as rapid burning of the (end) gases after spark plug initiation. The added heat and pressure resulting from the burn causes unburnt mixture to self ignite. Self ignition prior to spark...

    Tire questions for the track rats on the board

    To reduce the height of the tread. On the track you can chunk the tires (break off chunks of rubber) because the tread is too tall, especially on the outside regions. Also, a lower tread height improves the responsiveness reducing a squirmy feeling in transitions.

    Will it ?

    Yes, using the recepticle in the center console glove box. That is exactly how I do it.

    '06 SRTC engine blown w/ 6k miles???

    Dumb question: How did you check for metallic particles? I presume by looking at the oil on the dipstick. Does that not mean you had oil?

    This is how bad the paint can get

    The cracks on the hood are shrinkage areas where filler was used in finishing the hood. Very common on Gen I due to poor composite quality. They tend to start out like chicken foot prints. Without a doubt added exposure to heat (sun or engine) would increase the rate of shrinkage. You may...

    A Cold Hearted way to save Detroit car companies

    Bob - its late but some specific comments: 1. The auto industry appears to have expanded its capacity to cater to the distorted demand for cars that was created by easy credit and people borrowing against their home equity to buy depreciable goods - like cars. Yes, this is true. But should ALL...

    A Cold Hearted way to save Detroit car companies

    Well, let's make a more accurate assessment of the race. First, in order to ensure the Japanese team would race Alabama put up the funds to buy the newest and best boat available, approximately 50% of the overall cost of the boat. Then, to further entice them Alabama offered to pay 100k per...

    A Cold Hearted way to save Detroit car companies

    Thank you for making a very positive point. Having companies spread out globally is good for the home countries economy (assuming it is not to produce externally things for internal consumption). The converse, which is what you keep trying to make sound good, is good for JAPAN. Not the USA. It...

    stupid Paxton question...

    Here is an old picture (from during the installation). The hose on the left is the idle air flow and if missing may be found under the intake manifold. On the right (as you view it from the front) is the inlet temperatur sensor. Those are the only connections on mine.

    Comments on living with a 4 Post lift?

    I have had my 4 post lift for almost 10 years. In that time I have had failures of 2 pulley bearings (they do wear out), which could have resulted in lift failure. I ended up replacing the pulleys with new improved ones and all is ok. I have also had a near accident where when I was lowering it...

    Question on Heat

    The Gen I and II HVAC system does not have mixing capability. Heating and cooling are separate duct systems and the heater core is flowed through only when in the heat/defrost mode.
