The theater you saw it at must have had hosed up sound mixing, even in the hectic action scenes I didn't have much trouble hearing the lines, and I have the same hearing issue as you; background noise usually completely overrides my hearing and voices get lost easily.

14" mentioned he liked the sound mix at another theater better.

Ah well. now I'm off to see Humpback Whales 3d on the new laser IMAX and then living in the age of flight. :q:

Yeah, i'll have to check it's in my toolbox tomorrow and make sure it hasn't grown legs and wandered off. It's a V-coil set, so not a solid insert like Time-serts but should be fine as BMWs use sealing washers.

My girlfriend's grandfather owns this Mustang.















1969, automatic, convertible, 302 engine, mileage currently unknown. Appears to be no rust (will examine this myself tomorrow) and is unrestored (original condition).

Where is the best place to list this for sale? Ebay? Is there a classic specific sales site? His asking price will be $33K. Located in NE Indiana.

Beautiful.

Unless there's some financial issues, why sell it? I know some people that are really into Mustangs (besides myself) that may seriously be interested in it. Hell, I may buy it.

Beats the gently caress outta me. Best guess? Dude on the bike was going faster than the dude in the truck liked, so the dude in the truck decided to slow him down by force if necessary. This state isn't full of Mensa members, let's just get that cleared up right now :v:

Yeah the bikers were reportedly being asshats but that doesn't excuse the truck driver trying to run them off the road. And at the end they see him again and it's pretty clear they're going to go gently caress with him.

If you did that to a biker locally you'd probably be dead by week's end.

Yeah, the very end of the video, truck dude throws a bottle at them. I get the feeling there's gonna be another video eventually, dude said something on Twitter about there being a follow up one.

So I had someone ask me for a jump today.

Hook up jumper cables. Just get a click from his car. Threw a multimeter on the battery while he tried to start it, stayed at a solid 12.3 volts, no drop whatsoever when the starter solenoid clicked. Told him his starter was hosed.

:byodood: Nah, your 4 cylinder just doesn't have enough power to jump this car. :colbert: I need someone with a V8! (he was driving some kind of mid 00s Dodge 4 cylinder sedan, with a hot air intake, park bench spoiler, and a breather open to atmosphere on the valve cover :rolleyes: ) (also, I can usually jump others without even starting my car - and if I do need to start mine, I have a 120 amp alternator).

Cue someone with a diesel brotruck trying to jump it. Owner of the brotruck said he thought it was the starter.

:byodood: Nah the battery is just too dead. Let's hook up 2 cars at once, that'll get it to turn over.

So he convinced someone with a Toyota pickup to also hook up jumper cables.. at the same time.

Click.

Owner of the Toyota said he thought it was the starter. Guy finally admitted we might be right.

I whacked the starter with a hammer for him a few times. Still just a single click. My old Altima used to pull that occasionally (except mine would make a weird whine and the lights would get really dim), turning the key to start several times rapidly would usually get it to turn. I tried that, nothing happened.

He finally got a ride to AutoZone and got a new starter. Guess what? It started right up once he put a new starter in.

If you have 5 people telling you the same thing, 4 of them being car guys, there's a decent chance they may be right. Luckily for him, the starter was really easy to get to on his car, he had it swapped in under an hour in our parking lot at work.

You know my wife loves me and understands my car obsession. For our gifts to each other I bought her some perfume and a small bracelet. She gave me a book that's called "Memoir's of a hack mechanic" by Rob Siegel (Roundel contributor), a land rover flag and my grooms cake was a cake that had rocks made from frosting, and some green grass looking stuff and a defender toy plopped on top. It was a big hit, she looked great. I can't wait for the pictures!

Plus we had the best wedding party, seriously, we couldn't have asked for better people to stand with us.

Yesterday was awesome, and we are super lucky to have each other. :3:

If those guys were going that fast down public roads they're gonna die soon anyway, so even why bother getting involved, just let nature run it's course with squids it always gets them eventually.

If it was just them I wouldn't have a problem with it, but a motorcycle at nearly 200 MPH is dangerous to other people around it. What do you think happens when a bike going that fast hits a car doing the speed limit? Or hits a pedestrian, or the rider loses control and it goes through someone's front door?

So take a video and send it to the cops then? Getting personally involved (i.e. running them off the road) accomplishes nothing.
