    Did anyone notice that Carolina scored all their points in the first half, and Seachickens the second half? :confused::confused:

    i have noticed a slight uptick in the amount of spam emails i'm receiving since applying for the emblems so maybe use an email you don't care about.

    Yes...very strange game. There for a bit I thought for sure the Seachickens were going to come back and when!


    Hey, has anyone had problems with their seat belts. My wife put on the passenger side seat belt, when she took it off...it locked into that position and will not pull any further out or retract any. Is there someway to re-set this. I checked on a new one...over $200!!! Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks

    There is an ebay company that rebuilds them using OEM components for $75 i think.

    Comes with a lifetime warranty

    I ordered mine the other day. So far I've been lucky...and haven't had any spam so far. Hopefully it stays that way!!

    Yeah...I'm not to sure I want to trust a safety item to an eBay rebuild or a used one. Trust me, I like saving money...but not on a safety devices. My luck it wouldn't work and I'll end up dead...or worst yet my wife! Then she'll haunt me the rest of my life for saving a few bucks...hahaha!! Looks like some mods are going to be placed on hold..damn-it!!

    have you tried taking the belt out of the vehicle - mechanism and all? I had to take the seat belt out of my 1st gen and wash it (Dawn dish soap and a toothbrush) to get all of the greasy crud left over from the previous owner. Once I cleaned it up it worked like a charm. Sometimes the mechanism doesn't work if the webbing on the belt is dirty enough.

    if not maybe just wrap a bungee cord around the seat and its occupant :notsure:

    Here's a pic that I think you guy will like. The other day there was a car show at the NHRA drags. Was pretty cool, had a lot of old classic cars, all of which were American made as is usually the case with these shows. Well, that is until me and a few guys over at T4R decided to crash the event :brianr:

    I would try the cleaning route as well. Maybe see if you can clean the whole mechanism and regrease. If that doesn't work a new spring?

    I will have to check that out. I need to get down there this year...

    Corporate average fuel economy.



    Does anyone have problems with their windshield wipers "whistling" on the highway? It was super bad happens anywhere from 60-85mph with 30-40mph crosswinds... Wondering if there is an easy fix... Also, does anyone ever spray sound deadening stuff on in the wheel wells? Like a bed liner/ rubber compound. Trying to kill some tire noise.

    talking about windshield wipers..

    The windshield sprayers..when i activate them it looks like a stream of water vs a spray.. id rather it spray than piss on my windshield..

    is this normal or are mine clogged?

    Thanks for the idea! I will give this a try here in a bit! As far as the bungee cords...I have several colors to choose from :)
    I've been told not to take the mechanism apart. Said if your not extremely careful the spring will unspring and you'll never get it back together. But I am going to try and clean it...see if that will work.

    I should probably tape up those terminals.

    Also, need a large switch blank

    I want to put the controller jack right here:
