Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

Same here. They pop up for about half that second hand from time to time and if another deal shows up I may though.

 

Is there really not a simple version that works on kings?

Think we could pull off TW express on this one??

This is what I use at work. So far it has not let me down

 

That would be an epic TW express.

 

Putting in some airbags for a customer this morning.

 

hmmm. I may be having something delivered. unfortunately, thats 3 states up

 

Lies. You wont

 

I honestly can't believe you haven't hurt yourself using these

Used them once for some 886 coils... never again. I thought I was going to lose an eye 100%

 

Yeah I tried those, but too thick and the ends were starting to rub the body. Good idea on cutting them, but I don't think I'm that brave haha. I'm surprised you haven't gotten a wall mounted yet with all the adjustments you make.

 

Firm believer the express lane on 680 has actually made traffic worse

 

I have the Hypertech calibrator and its not worth it. It definitely helped, but it's still not as accurate as I would like. I bought it used, otherwise, I wouldn't have paid full retail for it.

 

Where are you located again? You can always bring your coils over and use it.

 

They should have a scheme like this one:

Of course it is. It’s one less lane for the regular folks. But all those hybrid and electric car groovers can feel like they’re saving the planet. Meanwhile millions more sit in gridlock with engines running when they should have already reached their destinations, and turned the car off. Yea, makes a lot of sense.

 

Because it's not about what's better for the general public. It's about making $.

I remember when I first saw construction on the freeway I was hopeful (naiive) that they were making more tracks for BART - which means more people using public transportation, less people on the road, etc. But it also means less people needing gas, etc etc

 

Yup, on top of all that a car pool lane vialation is like $400.

I leave for work at 5:30AM going from Campbell to Fremont. The car pool lane starts just after the 101 interchange. There's never ever traffic at that time of the day. I cruise at 80mph along with the rest of traffic. Ther's no point having it at that hour other than to generate tickets. Although, I've never seen a cop on that stretch of road...hense the speed of traffic being 80.

In the afternoon, heading south, the car pool lane ends just after the 101 interchange. There is always traffic just before that. If they moved the car pool lane back (north) from the 101 interchange just a quarter mile it would make all the differance to congestion in that one spot.

On the other hand my dialy driver is motorcycle and I lane split so I don't really care about traffic all that much. I never get stuck in it.

 

Nothing says ‘Mercia! more than a bald eagle on a coffee cup



Although I’m drinking tea like lousy red coat

 

That's the same kind of Spring compressor we use in our College auto shop. It works great! A lot of different settings.
