April 24, 20196 yr Last week: helped a buddy replace the shocks, struts & stabilizer links on his 115K mile '02 Infiniti QX4. That's really wasn't much fun. Why nissan felt it a good idea to mount rigidly-connected stuff over the top strut bolts was beyond me. Already rebuilt the structure under the running boards about 3 years ago. Today : went to a small local junkyard I first went to 25 years ago- found some of the parking brake hardware I need for the rear of the B-59 (MoPar 11-in drums, we'll see if the pieces I got out of a '99 Town & Country are the same). There's only 2 sources for these pieces new, and the one is $125 for (4) stamped pieces of steel & some misc hardware. Today's cost? $5.

April 25, 20196 yr Looks like a real hooligan, and you gotta admire his 'can do (without)' attitude ~

April 26, 20196 yr I saw "The Green Book" for the second time last week. It was a free community showing. It was even funnier the second time around. Tony: "Maybe he's a doctor of playing the piano." Dolores: (incredulous) "Is there such a thing?" Two plus hours of Bronx New Yorkese ... what's not to like? Edited April 26, 20196 yr by trinacriabob misspelled Dolores

My neighbor brought one home from the plant....quickly becoming my fave ... ?
April 30, 20196 yr Thanks for posting that, reg, I saw that, but I put 20k/yr miles on my vehicles, I'd be paying out the wazoo for excess mileage.

May 3, 20196 yr HD is a hard pass from me. - - - - - I REALLY like the 1500 (LT & up) design; it's unconventional to some degree but it also looks crisp & 'smart' somehow. I'd give them an 8. The 2500/3500, sorry, but those are really ugly. Getting a 'Frankenstein forehead' vibe and none of the elements in the front end seem to be either cool or working together. I'd give them a 1 or 2.

May 4, 20196 yr 30s Ford hot rods aren't really in my area of interest, but found this photo quite striking.. I like this Packard..

Please correct me if I am missing it @balthazar but did not the beginning of the industry do a type of skateboard concept with the frame and the body was just bolted down onto the top of it with everything else either between the frame or under it? @Robert Hall If ya was back in AZ, you could check this out. Rivian is gonna be at the Overland Expo West.
