    Just ordered another firearm

    My wife finally said “Alright, these idiots in the White House just convinced me to le you order your AR-10”. Thanks, Trump! https://danieldefense.com/firearms/caliber/7-62-x-51mm/daniel-defense-dd5v1-2430.html Going to put about 20 rounds through it, then decide what I should do to it, but...

    Two new additions

    Got a custom box with two 10W6s. They did a pretty good job. My only frustration is that they aren’t quite as loud as I thought they were going to be. They don’t hit near as hard as a single 12W7 AND I lost my low frequency a bit. It sounds really good on about 70% of what I listen to, but I...

    SQL 10” subwoofers

    So I want to change my set up in my new car. I currently have a Sundown Audio 12 with a 1600W amp. It hits HARD. That being said, it gets really “funny” at higher frequencies. Frquencies that, based on specs, it shouldn’t have issues with. Maybe it’s the box, bu who knows. Bottom line, it’s an...

    Surprise face

    When did surprise face replace cheese face for taking pictures? 90% of the females that post pics on my social media pages make the awkward surprise face. In fact, one of my friends hasn't posted a non-surprise face picture for at least 2 years. I forget what she really looks like. Maybe this...

    Ridiculous names

    Every culture and race has a preference in names, we/I get that. We can sit here and make fun pretty much every culture, so that's not the point I want to make here. What sticks out at me are just those certain names that once you hear, you stop and think "Oh Lord, please tell me that woman did...

    Disney World

    On vacation at Disney world. Love this place and we are having lots of fun. Even if you don't have kids, I still highly recommend you visit. This time around we took the time to visit with Gaston after having some snacks at Gaston's Tavern. Folks, I cannot describe how talented and hilariously...

    Wheel cleaners

    This new car has been giving me a terrible headache with the brake dust. I have never owned a car that produced this much, even when I am driving conservatively. Scrubbing these things once a week is just getting to be too much. The only solution I can come up with is to use a wheel cleaner...

    Cammed/bolt on SS VS HC

    I was curious how the Camaro would run. Never raced one before, not even in my Mustang. This was a 2012+ SS, sounded like it was full bolt on and cammed. (Unless they ghost tune them). On all three runs, I pulled on him instantly and gained more and more lengths the faster we went. The runs...

    Rear Gears

    So I understand that swaping out gears can increase your 60ft and improve 1/4 mile times (unless you're making a bad change), but for those of us who daily drive their cars and aren't in need of a wicked 60ft, I am wondering what effects it has on passing and roll racing. Are the benefits of...

    Today's performance cars

    So I have been thinking about how insanely fast modern performance cars are. It seems like it was only a few years ago when hitting 0-60 in 5.2 seconds was impressive for any car. My Audi S4 would pull 5.2s, but had to launch the tar out of it with its AWD to get it. Today, I saw that my car...

    Tires on high hp DD

    i have been trying to do a lot of research on tires but it seems like the more I learn, the more difficult the choice becomes. For instance, a lot of sources will only tires with a wear rating of 200-240 and won't consider anything else. I didn't realize that until I had already read about 6...

    Finally decided

    Making this decision gave me the biggest headache I think I have ever had. I truly wanted to end up with a CTS-V, however, the cost has just become too high. With a base price of $93k, new was out of the question. Then I started looking at used and couldn't find a 2016 that was in a range that I...

    Well, would you do?

    I currently own the Mustang and F150 in my sig. I enjoy them both, but find myself driving my mustang less and less. I find myself not wanting to drive it because of getting it dinged up, messing up the wheels, it is or was raining, and sometimes, I just don't fee like driving a MT at that...

    Was this a Bait and Switch?

    Also, is this acceptable behavior? Brand new Car was advertised as $26,000. We calculated the payments prior to going in and decided what we would put down in order to get our payments under $400 per month. I go in and sit down to work the deal and he tells me I need to put down 1500 more than...

The ROUSH Belt is part number 6k2085-8620-AA. Does anyone have any recommendations of what belt to go with, or should I just go with ROUSH...

    Accelerometers

    What is the most affordable one we can purchase? The iPhone apps appear to all be worthless. I installed several and found two didnt even work at all, and the others had a huge margin of error. One didnt even stop when I hit 60mph. It just kept timing all the way through 70+. It's just too...

    Buy another car?

    My wife got a new job and it has her driving about 450 miles a week. She is currently driving a 2016 Odyssey and she loves it, but these aren't cheap and we are afraid the mileage is going to kill the value. We are trying to figure out what would make more sense; keep putting the miles on...

    Small to medium flashlight needed

    I need a solid flashlight. One that isnt just rated at a certain lumen, but one that is tested and true to its claimed brightness. I am only famliar with a few different names, like Surefire, and I know it's a good brand, but wanted to make sure there isn't a company that makes them just as...

    Lucky

    Walked in to a Lucky Brand store and came across this. Couldn't resist. My two favorite things, Lucky Brand and Cobra Jet. It says Ford at the top on the back as well. What do you think Lucky pays to brand their clothing like this? They are also well known for their Indian and Triumph Motorcycle...

    Focus Vs Civic

    With the new Civic coming, it looks like this is going to be a pretty solid match up. Anyone have any idea how these two will compare? Both are well over 300hp and compact cars. Should be interesting.

    Constant debit card fraud

    So my wife just got a call from the bank today to verify some transactions. iTunes hit her for 10 transactions of $106. A few weeks ago, my card was nailed with 8 transactions of $350 in Kenya. A few months before that, the bank cut off my card because I was out of town and using it out of state...

    Surprise kill

    This is exactly one very fun reason why I Love having my F150 supercharged. There is always some idiot that thinks my truck is slow, and they attempt to cut you off or screw you. Came up to an intersection just outside of my neighborhood. Just passed the intersection, traffic has to merge and...

Battery is showing 13v, and car won't turn over. I have no idea wth these wires are, but this can't be good. They dont have a...
